5 TIPS TO STOP BUYING SO MUCH! 

I still have so much more to say on this topic. I wanted to keep it short since it's a new subject on our channel. Should I do more videos on this?

Tip for grocery shopping : Never ever go grocery shopping on empty stomach. If you are hungry you end up buying more snacks which you is bad for your purse as well as your health.

Omg.. A full fledged video about saving our planet from a beauty influencer 😱😍

Thanks a ton for mentioning the issue with mica mining. You are one who speaks truly against cruely free makeup and practice it, and cruelty free should actually be not just animal cruelty, it should be human cruelty free too ❤️❤️

Damn gurl🔥🔥 these days people hardly think so much, this often crosses my mind how we buy tons of the same coloured lipsticks and the same makeup items from different brands . It's totally unnecessary, thank you for putting this thought out to the world 🙏

So every middle class shopping tactic ever? I love how this video says everything my mom's been trying to tell me since i was like 10. 😂❤️ Lots of love!

This really made sense. Tbh, I actually follow the need-want theory!

More tips: try more DIY, I've tried a looooot of facemasks for oily skin but I always come back to the simple green clay mask and I add a drop of tea tree oil. Affordable and easy. Best mask ever. if a product is available in your city don't buy it online just because you're lazy to go/the shop is always crowded. I used to do that and ended up buying extra stuff I don't need just to pay a certain amount to have free shipping... how ridiculous! Just take some time and go shopping! Also use cash when paying in store, seeing the banknotes disappearing from my wallet is harder than using my credit card. And I always carry around a fabric tote bag in my handbag so I don't use the bags they give you even if they're in paper. I have a whole collection of bags from zara h&m and all that I never use after going back home. Love your videos as always! And your hair 😍😍😍

As a responsible human being, we have to do our part, 1. Stop using sheet masks, 2. Stocking up on foundations, skincare bottles,Rather try using the DIY’s 3. Saying NO to huge PR packages 4. NO to wet wipes 5. Reusing makeup products for eyes, lips and cheeks 6. No chemical products Let’s do this and take this concern to next level Love you jovita!💓

The most wanted video for my current situation..thank u jovi darling.. i m spending most of my pocket money in nykaa

Wow....that's what I'd call an "Influencer" ! Thank you for this Jovita !!

Heyyyy!!! I needed this video and I am so happy that you actually have taken time to talk about this. Thanks dear! LOVE YOU!

The world needs ppl like you , love how you talk about stuffs that most em refuse to talk ! Influencers like you are much needed to constantly remind ppl abt certain things ! Thankyou jovita 👏

This was the need of the hour. Loved the concept and content. Thanks for this

Thank you for making this video ♥️ Much needed.. I like how some RU-vidrs have started to talk about issues that need our attention. You’re a really good human being and I’m glad that I’m a subscriber ♥️

This is so needed in today’s world and has certainly inspired me. Love you for being so genuine and honest. I trust you n love you ❤️

Thanks for talking about this, Jovita! We need to be conscious about what we buy and how much we accumulate and hoard. It's absolutely, totally, completely damaging to the self and the environment. Love you!!

Wow!!! Out of all the people here in this beauty industry here you are talking about actual problems which many influencer lack actually...you have put out what I actually think of everyday when I watch videos...thanks for being honest and putting this up on your channel😍😍

Great video Jovita. Very much needed to give us a perspective. And you spoke from heart. Love your channel.

Love that you're using your platform to share this positive message. Much much needed and appreciated 💚

Can't thank you enough for making this video. Jovita... Extremely thoughtful. I wish more bloggers would spread this word.

I agree with pretty much all of what you say and I’m so happy to see you talk about it! I think, as a disabled person, the straw issue is a little more nuanced but I do think anyone who *can* use alternative straws should. I do use metal straws myself but I am probably more aware of the difficulties faced by people who have tried the alternatives but simply need to use plastic straws. That being said, the people I know who do need to, will keep them and wash and reuse them, so small steps! Wonderful video!

You as a person are a Gem 💎 I'm glad you came up with this video ! 💕 Thank you for talking about it and giving us all a reminder!💕 I hope more people are inspired to cut down waste generation.

Much appreciated Jovi..i also follow the need and want thing...im so glad 'you' came up with this subject..❤️

Such a great video. I was really tempted to buy a new foundation recently but then decided to finish my existing ones :)

I love it. speak your truth. I have been incorporating more sustainable items in every aspects of my life so I appreciate you speaking up about this. Every little change that is made will make a diffidence for our world!!

Came across this on YT..loved it absolutely. Thanks Jovita. You're a gem. This was so helpful. We need this. Girls need it. I needed this today. I was binge shopping. But also I could relate, because I do these things before I shop. I think a lot before getting!

Love it! You are really using your platform to make a difference in this world. Integrity is tough to come by in the industry these days.

Much needed video. That's very Responsible and Sensible. Happy to be part of Jovian Family. You rocked it Jovita

Thanks Jovita for using your channel to spread across this vital message regarding consumerism , dangers of using plastic . People still don’t get it unfortunately but it’s amazing that you decided to speak about it

What I really needed to hear. Can't thank you enough for saying it out loud. I applaud you to say these. You are a beauty influencer, who suggests products, and still you said the sensible things. So much love to you and RESPECT

Such a unique and informative video Jovita, thank you for the tips! Love how u stay positive always no matter what!

Great video and excellent tips!!!! Thank you for tackling this Jovita!!

Thank you so much for this video I send this to my sister 2 weeks ago since she just can’t stop buying and it has really helped her 👍🏽👍🏽😁

Thank you Jovita. This was so informative. I too have started my baby steps towards a greener earth by switching from sanitary napkins to menstrual cups which will last me a lifetime. 😍

Thank you so much Jovita, I really needed this.

Indeed ! One should focus on necessities rather than accumulating everything ! Your perspective is so much refreshing . Tysm Jovita for this lovely video and keep spreading your thoughts ❤️

I do the same when i buy a foundation... i go thro all the videos related to that product😊 so that money wont be wasted...

This video is the most needed on the internet today ! Much love 💕

That's why I really love this channel!! So genuine !!! ❤

Oh my goodness. This was such a needed message. I am guilty of buying so much stuff nowadays. The tip you said where to think of the top you are growing to style with and then buy it. So much helpful. Thank you! Do I really need another red lipstick when I have more than 5? No! ❤️

I'm so proud of you❤️Finally someone has the heart to come up and actually talk about it. We really need influencers like you to inspire all to buy less than is actually needed. Thank you so much sweetie for your wonderful initiative. ❤️

Your the only consumer friendly RU-vidr Jovita!😍 And I say it from the bottom of my heart!🌹

Researching (esp. makeup .. but, everything else, too) works ! Earlier I used to buy so much stuff .. and half of it went to waste. Now .. (even if I have been able to control just maybe 1% of what I used to waste earlier) , but I am slowly trying to get what I need at the moment, than what I want 😏

Thank you thank you thank you for mentioning the mica mining issue!!!! One mention from you goes a long ways when it comes to spreading awareness on the issues. And as always great video!!!

Hi Jovita, I just discovered your channel, and I cannot tell you how great i feel. I am not a youtube junkie but all other youtubers that I have watched (especially make up bloggers) have never ever spoken about any substantial issues like - animal cruelty, sustainability, and consumerism. All this is so relevant in this day and age. Thank you for creating stellar & conscious content ❤️

This was a much needed message!! Reuse Reduce Recycle 😁 ... that's basically the best thing one can do for a better future. Thank you for that! 🤟🏼

Great going. Some ppl just think this topic is just a casual one. And never think that a small step can make a big difference. Avoid plastic. Avoid unwanted fashion. 🙌

much need video... Thanks a lot Jovita!!! I already started with the point number 1 and 4!! ❤️❤️❤️

This was much needed and I have no idea what are those dislikes for . Please do more of these Jovita Love

This is so authentic and something I so badly wanted some RU-vid to be doing. I am glad you did this. The trash is killing the planet and the Earth deserves better. We all here are doing kind of almost nothing additional to prevent the situation from worsening. The least we could do is not adding on to it. And the most important point that you mentioned is asking yourself "Do I really need this ?" . This is the most important question that one needs to ask themselves over and over and over again. The middle class people may save upon things because they can't afford many things....but that is what has kept things better. If everyone on this earth becomes a mindless shopper, we don't know what might happen. Hence, this needs to become a mindful practice people need to start making by themselves..... for themselves..... to CHOOSE to live without certain things. Instead pay attention to little things that we never really care.... like being attentive to our breath and our thoughts throughout the day. Also , get over the feeling of "What would people think ? " . Just let them. Repeating a certain cloth multiple times is not a matter of embarrassment, but being conscious. The Earth needs our mindfulness of our decisions not only in consumerism, but also in our thoughts, our actions..... much badly than to comply to all the "stylish" tag from some people. If anything, people need to find excuses to add value to their lives in the form of new skills and such things and not make our lives all about the stuff we own. Since the last 2 years, I have been watching makeup tutorials on YT....and earlier it made me really eager to buy all the stuff I could, even though I knew I never really used even a single store -bought lip balm.....let alone makup. Still the "I should have that too " mindset made me buy tons of stuff, which has just been lying around since then untouched. Not only was it an unconscious decision but also a foolish one..... So I have decided to be conscious and aware of every single purchase I do. And reuse as many things as I can....for as long as I can before buying one. One can always rent heavy clothes if We only wish to wear it once. Also, use DIYs. The bottles and the tubes we buy in the name of "beauty products" aren't really so for the Earth.

I respect you so much for this Jovie!! Though it might directly impact the 'influencer' lifestyle, you're advising something so good for the earth

True, agreed and we do not require all that chemical on our face clogging the skin. Just a simple one will make u look very pretty

Very good video and initiative!!! There are few people like you in this world. Thanks for using the platform for correct reasons....the ending is even more nice....I would want someone like you in my friend circle.....!!

I have never been more impressed....u are a star...and a wonderful human being truly an inspiration 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

So true jovita. I was mad about clothes and when I shifted to a new house, I got exhausted just looking at the mountain of clothes...i promised myself I will not buy more until I use up all these. We madly buy without realising. Thanks for bringing up this much needed topic.

Absolutely right, thanks for reminding. Sometimes instigation is really required.

Subscribed!!! Wonderful video, thank you so much for sharing a wonderful topic on our planet earth.

The content of this video & the way u explained things were brilliant 💡🙏

So so rightly said about consumerism. I was thinking about how many people are really thinking about it.. when I saw your video and that you're sharing on this platform makes me appreciate you with my whole heart.. Great going girl!!

This is why I love you so much Jovi really appreciate you. Most wanted video for all of us.😍😘

Hey girl!!!!! You just win my heart ❣ such a lovely subject you came up with ❤️ appreciate 🙌🏻

It’s so great to see influencers talking about this issue which is so urgent. Thanks

Very important topic, Jovita. Appreciated. 👏👏👏 We all should seriously focus on cutting down unnecessary consumptions and reduce the stress on our planet and on ourselves.

That’s awareness at peak !! Way you go Jo ❤️❤️

Always love your content! Love how informative you are, and always provide value to your viewers 👏 Your face looks flawless in this, is there a video available on this?

Thank you so much Jovita for this video.. definitely opened my eyes.. I'll henceforth buy products that I really need and use them judiciously. 😊

This video is really amazing. Thank you for sharing this knowledge.

This is such a brilliant and thoughtful video. Cheers !!

I love you for making this video jovita❤️ thank you soo much Consumerism is an issue which needs to be dealt with .Thank you for spreading this message.

Very honest video! I totally agree with the tips and the foundation thing i do the same 😄

Thank you so much. I really needed it. Thanks a ton

It's high time that RU-vidrs should come forward and talk about this!! Thanks for this one Mr. George.

Thank you for this video.. I will follow those tips in future 💕💕

Appreciate your efforts...I have seen your closet setting video... I love the way you love minilistic living with Grace. All my best wishes with you. ☺️😊

Your videos are like a breathe of fresh air for me. I mean whenever i receive the notification. I just sit there in peace and watch the video. Feel refreshed and start working again. I really loved this concept. 🤗❤ the foundation looks stunning.

Double triple like for this video..I'm already following few of these things Thank you for highlighting this.

Omg Jovi, it's nice of you to make a video about this. You are not only a beauty influencer but also a responsible person. Please make such more videos in the coming days. A lot of us know what we are doing , but just not able to practice ways to minimize our shopping urges. I usually follow the need -want method because that is one of the easiest ways to know your priorities. Makes you a responsible consumer. Also, I was totally able to relate to people getting offended easily these days 😂😂

Under 2 minutes into the video and I am your fan all over again! Great topic, brave of you to out it across on the channel! You go gurl!

I'm so glad an influencer spoke about this. It's the need of the hour, and I am sure it would have touched some people today. Kudos to you!

we stan a responsible influencer! thank you so much for talking about this when so many influencers are so afraid to do so ❤️

Indeed a useful video in today's time of materialism! Bravo Jovi! 😘

‘The world cannot take anymore trash’ so true!! An alarming situation indeed.

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU Thank You for talking about this. Its a much needed topic to talk about. We are all indulged in something unnecessary which could be avoided for the benefit of the planet (our only true home). You are the only beauty influencer who shade light on it. Thank You, now, I won't feel guilty anymore of not buying which is only a beauty to the eye.

Way to go lady! Bang on! I always wished that someone who is as influential as u should talk on these topics. We as a family have been taught the same since our childhood, 1) think twice, do we need it? Does this harm anyone? And be humble!! . And so glad that my husband thinks the same and our kids simply follow us. Think about the planet! Be doers of good! Because we want our children and their future to have the best and it involves giving them the best place to live in. X

Darling this one of the best videos you have ever made. I think its super important for beauty gurus to spread this message

It's good to see all this coming from a beauty blogger. Otherwise people just keep on making hauls. Thank you for this🙏

Hey jovita...that was a freaking awesome video..this video of urs is like a gust of fresh air in a scenario where every blogger makes video on 100s of beauty and skin care recommendation.. ur honest reviews win my heart with every video of urs...a really big thums up 👍 for this one.

It takes a lot of confidence to make such type of video.. I agree with each and every word you spoke. Thanks for the reality check 👍

thank u so so much for making a video like this, yes, love this video,this is the only place that we can live in, we should do our best to save it.

Love you! In this day and age of hauls, you're subscribing to notions of anti shopping. That's great.

It's a great topic and very grateful for this information

wow! Somebody spoke about it finally! I am a minimalist and I have just 10 sets of dresses altogether. Unless it is torn beyond wearableness, I don't get a new one. Thanks for saying this. Sharing this right away!

Jovita you should make a series about it! You are literally one of the FEW youtubers out here on the platform who is speaking about the issue!

This really means alot 💞 I think youtubers should stop doing haul videos That would really make a difference . Just saying!

Wow.. its an amazing way to awake people and letting them know whats happening around the earth.. I loved this rumbling video.. and look forward to see you more.. sharing it with all my frnds and colleagues so that atleast some pointers they can imply (even i will ) to get the change. ♥️♥️♥️

This is what I believe in.. thank you for speaking about it.. much needed video 😘

Wow... Brilliant content! Proud of you Jo!

Wow Jovi! What you're doing is commendable I must say coz many others are just promoting products and pushing us to buy more. Being from a middle class family, I already think 5 times before buying anything. I should not buy something just because I can afford it. How much will I use it is the ultimate question. At one point, I was really into buying things that I actually never used but I thankfully I had this realisation soon. I gave away many clothes from my closet that I was not actually wearing and I wouldn't have worn them in near future. I keep giving away things (clothes/makeup stuff etc) to my sisters, cousins and whoever is happy to share.
