Thank you for watching! Please note that I'm not interested in re-hashing the 2016 election in the comments. What I share in this video is not a political theory; I'm not claiming that gender was the only factor, I'm simply stating the difficult, tender fact that my personal hopes for that election were tied to my own womanhood. I hope it goes without saying that my concern did not stop there; in 2017 I was also deeply anxious about the human rights of black and brown people, immigrants, and the LGBTQ community in our country. I focused on gender-related anxiety in this video because it directly affected my feelings about my own face and body, and therefore was the most direct trigger for the purchase of makeup and clothing. Political rants and comments insinuating that my feelings were/are invalid will be ignored or deleted.

PLEASE READ! There are 2 separate points below. 1. I hope you can understand that I am not able to participate in re-hashing the 2016 election in the comments. What I share in this video is not a political theory; I'm not claiming that gender was the only factor, I'm simply stating the difficult, tender fact that my personal hopes for that election were tied to my own womanhood. I hope it goes without saying that my concern did not stop there; in 2017 I was also deeply anxious about the rights and safety of black and brown people, immigrants, and the LGBTQ community in our country. I focused on gender-related anxiety in this video because it directly affected my feelings about my own face and body, and therefore was the most direct trigger for the purchase of makeup and clothing. Political rants and comments insinuating that my feelings were/are invalid will be ignored or deleted. 2. As I was editing this video I realized that I frequently state on this channel that I’d never been able to save money before my no-buy, and yet I talk a lot in this video about “dipping into my savings account” in 2017. This is because my “savings” at that time weren’t really savings; they consisted of a lump sum I had been fortunate to win, and which I’d optimistically deposited into a savings account. I then proceeded to treat that savings account like a checking account (I started draining it as soon as it was established). I actually continued using my credit card to buy makeup and clothes even after that account was entirely empty, which is why I entered my no-buy year with credit card debt and no savings. It took me until September of my no-buy year to pay off my credit card for good. Since my no-buy year, I’ve been steadily moving small amounts of money into my savings account and leaving them untouched, and over time, that account has grown into a hard-won financial emergency cushion. So even though it’s technically not the first time I’ve had money in a savings account, this past year is the first time in my life that I’ve managed, in the true sense of the word, to save.

@laitae 4 года назад

So much what you are saying in this video speaks to me and about me. Feeling inadequate, things are falling apart, so skincare and mu will pull me up from the edge, shame and guilt over finances, never saving, I've been through it. For the money I spent I could have put a down payment on a house. I despise myself for being so reckless in the past and for so many years. I appreciate these videos and I appreciate you😍 thanks

@eikawithac 4 года назад

Hannah Louise Poston I totally relate to #1. There were a million reasons I was (and continue to be) devastated, but my first emotion when the results started to look final was this absolute humiliation as a woman. Not only because Hillary lost but because of, let’s say, certain tapes and certain “locker room talk” and the implicit approval of that... So yeah, deep shame and humiliation. That gave way to/joined with many other concerns, but it was definitely my immediate emotional reaction.

@Slendergirl89 4 года назад

Hannah, this was so brave, this whole series. When you said you had a shopping addiction, I didn’t really realize what that would really look like. You’ve come such a long way, and you’re so inspiring. It’s such a unique idea, your no buy. And the fact you documented it so diligently is just mind blowing.

@oliviaadkins4515 4 года назад

all my love Hannah. thank you for always be so unapologetic and honest. makeup is political. everything is political. if people cannot see that, they are choosing not to. i wonder how many of us have spent the past 4 years in the US in self destructive behaviors because we don’t feel empowered or safe or valid here. our outcomes cannot be fully separated from our environments and right now, our environments feel sharp.

@thetropicatlife 4 года назад

Oh man, I cried along with you when you were talking about the election. I think that wound is so far from healed. For me, at the beginning of the election year, it wasn't that gender related (I voted for Bernie in the primary). Once the candidate was set and the debates began, it felt more and more gendered. But beyond that, as you said in your pinned comment, I feared for the lives of black and brown people, the LGBTQ+ community, immigrants, and in my very personal case, Puerto Rico. When Election Day rolled around, I went to sleep before the results came in, because I was sure everything was going to be alright...right? I woke up the next morning and I looked at Twitter and I started crying. I cried for an entire week. (I've cried myself to sleep more times during the last 4 years than during the entirety of high school, which says a lot). Then 2017 rolled around and we got Hurricane Maria. And I had to deal with not only the very poor local & federal government responses, but also the president making light of our situation and almost blaming us for it. And of course, it didn't help that I had no electricity for 3 months and that NOTHING around me looked the same. I had woken up to a dystopian nightmare. And then 2018 rolled around and the uncertainty caused by the effects of the hurricane made me feel like I had no control of my life and I gained all of the weight I had lost when I quit my toxic job in 2015. And then 2019 rolled around and there was local political unrest, which felt powerful, but also hopeless if you looked at how we had gotten there. And then 2020 rolled around and we woke up to an earthquake swarm that's still going on, 6 months later, and once again, the president blamed us for our fate. And then in March, 2 days after my first job anniversary in a job that I had been pining after for 5 years (it was once "the job that got away" because I had to turn it down)... the COVID lockdowns began. And I lost that job, the first thing in years that made me feel like I was about to have it all together and my adult life was finally beginning... in my mid-thirties. When I found your channel during July of your No-Buy Year, I decided to do those last six months with you. And then I had a budget the year after. And up until March of this year... I felt like I had control over SOMETHING. I had a beautifully organized budget with just the right amount of leeway and comfort and everything was going really well. And now, well, I don't know. I don't have a budget but I also don't have an income. I've learned enough from budgeting to not be that afraid of my behavior, and I'm not going into debt and my savings are untouched, but my "fewer, nicer things" mentality went out the window because since I feel like I have nothing, I want to have everything. I have no wisdom to give regarding any of this. I just wanted to share because I teared up when you teared up.

@womanofacertainage5892 4 года назад

@courtneycullen6289 4 года назад

SAME GIRL SAME. (trying to do this without mentioning the election). Not having female leaders affects - STRONGLY affects - how I view myself as a leader and a lawyer. I have never worked for a female litigation partner. I've had to borrow mentors, including a judge for whom I clerked, but they couldn't be in the moment of trying to lead with me. And so, even now, as I am a partner, I've had to make that path for myself. Which is so crazy to me in this day and age, and which is not true in other practices of law. And in 2017, when I realized I wasn't going to make partner AGAIN at my then firm, I snapped. Part of it was spending, and I no longer really had the income that I had before and have now to support it, but most of it was drinking and old, old habits with food. Indeed, I basically stopped spending because my relationship with alcohol and food took up most of my non-work time. It was bad and it took my own version of your no buy year. But I have had past experiences (and current) where makeup and skincare is my self soother of choice. This is beautifully done Hannah and so well said. Thank you for speaking to my own life experiences and helping me lift a little shame off of them. Because even after years of therapy, we can find shame hiding in dark corners even when we feel like we've done a deep clean.

@ktshaffer9602 4 года назад

Something striking you mention in the video is how your behavior didn't seem destructive, but rather normal/hidden, especially from the outside. This speaks volumes to the normalization of over-consumption in our society! I think we all struggle with this normalization in some aspect.

@pixiethistle 4 года назад

You are doing such important work here, effecting people in such a positive way with your stories, reflection, and introspection. You were so right when you said no one can save us from our consumption, but ourselves. I've been in a cycle of overspending, saving, and purging for most of my adult life, which is a cycle I've been slowly dismantling after I started watching your videos. Since trying to understand my motivations and emotions more, I feel closer to living my life in a way that is more joyful and aware (of self, finances, politics, social justice) despite the horrors that continue to occur in the world that are out of my direct control. I am trying to do as much as I can to educate myself, communicate with elected officials, donate, vote, protest, and love even when hate feels most justified. You are a natural leader!

@sadar171 4 года назад

For me chronic illness led directly to overspending-as I became sicker and sicker I didn’t look like myself. I kept losing weight, I was gaunt and my skin was dull. Buying clothes, makeup and skincare gave me something to control in the face of something uncontrollable. I would buy into the promise that this thing would make me look better and therefore feel better. Definitely a lot of my overspending comes from wanting to be someone different. I often feel like I’m not good enough as a woman and I want to be the mature, grown up, put together woman I see in advertising and I would trick myself into thinking products would get me there. When my illness was at its worst and I could barely get out of bed each day I felt like I was failing as a wife, friend, employee etc and buying something was a way to buy into the dream. This thing will make look better, feel better, be attractive to my husband (even though all the pressure to be “attractive” for him was self imposed) etc.

@missvinnet5507 4 года назад

Thank you so much for talking about your fears surrounding being a woman and "being adequate." You put into words something that I've been unable to put my finger on for a long time. I felt incredible relief to hear someone else has struggled with those same feelings. I appreciate the courage it took to film and post this video. It means a lot!

@KellyMRyan 4 года назад

Hannah, I have never commented on a video. I am compelled to attempt to convey what it's like to see this type of speech on RU-vid, yet another place that I once felt a need to legitimize my affiliation and affection. I'll try to keep this relatively short -- I was in a doctoral program in 2016, when it felt like all of my most peripheral, conspiratorial fears about the people around me were sort of confirmed by the election. I think that there was a quiet place in my mind that wanted to embrace the most "feminine" parts of me then -- that I wanted to massage and elaborate the least easily-approved, least masculine elements of my personality. I wasn't paying attention as something in me began to lovingly make a case for the beauty of a woman donning makeup on RU-vid, as I spent hours thinking about lipstick and making bouquets. Thank you so much for pointing out what might have been happening there. I hope that you can really love the part of yourself that was also making room for more traditionally "feminine" activities at that time -- when they were perhaps most threatened. Thank you for helping me to see that kind of relationship -- not just between what I could control then -- but between these traditionally woman-occupied spaces -- and the subconscious part of me that saw that maybe I needed to start actively making a case for them in my life -- that I couldn't be passively female anymore.

@AnkV 4 года назад

You say that everything felt like paper dust. I think you had a post election depressive like episode. You know how they say it s not depression if you feel bad because bad things happen. But i remember cleary that feeling that everything was dust from when i was depressed. And i relate to the body dysphoria as well, i used to feel i was too brainy and not beautiful enough. I rememeber clearly when i was 17 my math teacher told me someone should take care of my look , beacause for a woman it was just as important if not as the brain. This was the woman who trained me to becoome best in math in my county. The first time i failed to make the national physycs competition my father told me after 17 girls can t be good at . So yeah i internalised a lot of stuff. When i discovered style and personal style blogs and then beauty it was as if a light opened inside of me, this was a thing i had control over. And of course i spent time and money on those pursuits. The feedback from friends and family and society at large help. i m ashamed to say i started feeling more in control, more taken into account, better at everything including my career. It s as if i had to work on two different fronts. One bettering my intelect and skills and one to better my woman costume as not to offend the men and be able to lean in and sit at the table .

@courtneycullen6289 4 года назад

What you say about Joe makes complete sense to me. That is much my relationship with my wife. She has, in 12 years, semi-questioned one enormous purchase (that I in hindsight wish she had questioned more, but to be fair to her, she doesn't do that and I would not have heard her if she did). But when my not eating and drinking got out of control in 2017, she helped me pull myself out, was my biggest supporter, and the biggest person to help me reintroduce small amounts of occasional alcohol in moderation in my life, several years later. She doesn't judge my makeup or beauty spending, but she is willing to be a sounding board if I am debating a purchase. And to be honest, this is the balance I want in my life. And as a result of it, I am more likely now to go talk to her when I feel like I might be making questionable decisions or feel like I need help. So I can not only see that but for me at least, that's a desireable balance in a relationship and another thing to appreciate about Joe (in addition to him being an extension of Sadie).

@HannahLouisePoston 4 года назад

I didn't realize how grateful I was that Joe is the way he is in this regard until I got so many questions about it! He has now been properly thanked :) I'm so glad to hear about your experiences

@mirandahein5344 Год назад

I appreciate how sincerely and eloquently you address all your topics: from color palates, to self-image, to even more sensitive topics like unhealthy habits vs mental illness, and potential hot topics like politics. All with such nuance and depth. I originally started watching your videos because I wanted makeup ideas from a fellow redhead; I continue following your videos because you enrich the rest of my worldview as well. Thank you. 🧡

@JackOllie4 4 года назад

I'm kind of surprised that so many people want to over-complicate your spending into "manic episodes," or whatever. It's straight-up addictive behavior pattern, and practically everyone has it in one area or another. Mine are spending, food, and internet. And, yes, these things are extremely easy to engage in right out in the open, and others not really see it for what it is, because people associate "addiction" only with some filthy person passed out on a city street ... not a beautiful, articulate, educated young woman. Most days, I have to "check before I wreck" on my internet usage and my eating. I've had improvements with spending, born out of sheer pain of self-inflicted financial mess, but it's always close by! With spending, it's something different every time. The last bout was makeup. What will the next bout be? I need to remain very aware. And, yeah, the current thing in D.C. ... that has been detrimental, to put it very, very mildly.

@Amy-gp7ek 4 года назад

Girl, same. I like to think I’m a reasonably smart person, but somehow managed to do the exact same thing for an entire year and racked up thousands in debt. It can literally happen to anybody. I was so deeply unhappy in my job I ended up compensating by filling my life with things I thought would make me happy but in the long run just made me feel awful. It’s good to be on the other side now, channels like this are to thank✌️

@PencilsandPancakes 4 года назад

You're so gosh dang articulate!! You've been talking about overspending for as long as I've been watching your channel, but this 4 parter really hit it home. I recently came into some money and I have more disposable income than I've ever had before. I have felt a real and strong impulse to self-soothe with spending, and these videos and the things you've been saying all along have really helped me say no where I can. Honestly, thank you.

@mollyrzr 4 года назад

I have said this before but I’ll say it again- your videos have been a turning point for me to realize that I have a shopping problem myself. I slowed my makeup shopping, but with clothes I still struggle, so I started therapy. I hope I’ll be able to stick to a certain budget sometimes. So thank you.

@designchik 2 года назад

I’m new to your channel, Hannah, and late to the conversation. However, I wanted to share how much I can relate to your struggle with spending. I’m much older than you now but still use beautiful things to make me feel better about myself. I have deeply rooted physical insecurities and have suffered from a crushing lack of self-esteem for as long as I can remember. I’m more restrained now, but it’s still my go-to coping mechanism when I’m feeling blue or lonely. For me, it’s never been makeup, but expensive clothes, shoes, and jewellery have been my obsessions. When I was younger, I would have $20 left in my bank account and would still go shopping to spend $15 of it when I knew payday was just around the corner. I totally relate to your issues around spending, and I thank you for sharing. It makes me feel less alone. I also relate to your comments about the election; I’m Canadian but followed your election closely and was devastated by the outcome. Much love from Canada. ❤️

@beam8250 2 года назад

Your honesty is respected, Hannah. You're not the only one who has had these experiences. I have done similar things and struggle with obsessive, addictive behavior. It feels shameful to admit but we are human. You are seriously such a trailblazer. Igniting so many souls to confess, confront and start doing the right thing for themselves and the betterment of humanity.

@insomnime 4 года назад

Hannah, know that the world cried with you that day (night for me) in 2016. The frustration, hurt, anger and profound sadness still lingers. But so does the hope for the future. I look at my friends who protest, who get involved in change, who stake out a new path and I see a growing optimism and endless reasons for us to keep going. We will get there. Thank you for sharing your story.

@Anna-pd6dc 4 года назад

Hannah I just want to say thank you for making yourself vulnerable to us - there is so much to be learned from hearing about your experience and watching your journey.

@betterlifebroadcasting7186 4 года назад

In the act of stopping your less than ideal behavior, you have changed (by doing the hard introspective shadow work) WHAT you spent that money on. The money itself is spent, but years later..it turns out you've purchased self knowledge, growth, and an ability to communicate what you did, why, and how it has changed you in a way that makes it relatable and helpful and inspiring to others who may face the same demons even in some other form. After all your tilling of the fields of Sephora, you have grown a crop not of makeup but rather wisdom. Congrats. And truly you are more beautiful for it.

@SarahTitus0403 4 года назад

Tears in my eyes. Yes, I remember the feelings you bring up about 2016. And thank you for your added comment expanding your full feelings about all the WORRY for everyone (BIPOC, LGBT+, immigrants) that really erupted that year. For me I also found an extra layer as a survivor that has been very difficult to talk about in regards to the emotional impact of 2016 election even 4 years later. So thank you for saying it. You described that raw feeling so beautifully

@lilyt5855 4 года назад

One of the things you've taught me is to examine the different feelings I have about buying an item versus the feelings I have when I get the item and use it. The excitement of researching and buying something for me is higher than the enjoyment I have in getting it and using it. I've been seriously overspending during this pandemic as a coping mechanism and I need to remember this!

@courtneycullen6289 4 года назад

To me, this is so true. People often talk about rebuilding trust with others, but they don't talk about rebuilding trust with yourself. And once you build up a few years of knowing that you can handle panic attacks or work set backs or relationship issues in healthy ways, you start to trust and believe that you can continue to do it. Even, and perhaps especially, when you have a set back. You build the muscles, you know you can move forward, and then you can work at releasing the shame and forgiving yourself. My therapist said something like, I know you feel really ashamed now, but at the time, you had a really good reason for it based on what you were facing then. Which is maybe the most helpful thing anyone has said in my many years of therapy because it allows me to see the context and forgive in light of the context, while knowing that those really good reasons do not serve me now at all. Per usual, three comment ted talk. It's just that while painful to watch, because I have to believe this is taking all of your fortitude, for me it has been EXTREMELY helpful and healing in working through my own behaviors that I would love to go back in time and change.

@Riverchild27 4 года назад

Thank you Hannah. Your vulnerability and honesty is cherished. Many of us have or are going through a version of this, and it is invaluable to have your videos and the community you have built. You led me to a no buy which led me to learning to actually budget consistently for the first time in my life. I’m saving money, and feeling financially secure in a way I’ve never felt before.

@mfenn7325 4 года назад

I felt I both awoke and fell asleep after that 2016 election. I saw my society and fellow voter in a totally different way. I went into survival/hedonist mode because betterment of myself and the world felt like a pointless pursuit. I felt disenfranchised, too. I stayed with my partner partly because he was a dual citizen, just in case I needed to flee. It was horrible for many of us. It still is. Everyone, please register to vote. Please.

@AmeerahMuhammad 4 года назад

As a black Muslim woman in America the latter part of 2016 and early 2017 was a punch in the face. Not a slap. A punch. I was essentially told that I didnt matter. I plummeted into a DEEP depression. And then in 2018 my mother got sick. And that is when my spending ramped up. Because it was the thing that made me feel that I was in control of SOMETHING. I was in control of how I looked and how people perceived me.

Thanks Hannah 💎

I’m so appreciative that you’ve been willing to share so much about your journey here on RU-vid. Whenever I talk about how I feel like I spend too much money out loud and tell my boyfriend how I’m feeling (who only buys what he needs and has no issues spending), it sounds so silly coming out of my mouth. Like it should be such a simple fix. Like it’s not a genuine problem that’s much more deeply rooted. So thank you for making your followers feel like it’s not so silly and that we can really fix it and that our feelings are justified. 💜

Of course we were and are still absolutely shocked here in Germany (sometimes I still can't believe what's going on in the US), but only now I realised how much it must have affected those actually living in that country. Thank you for this insight. Although Angela Merkel is not perfect by any means, at least she is an intelligent woman whom I admire for doing this incredibly tough job in a political field with almost only (often questionable...) men.

Hi Hannah! I'm a new subscriber and I found this video particularly compelling. I appreciate your thoughts and transparency when talking about your finances. Although our circumstances differ, I felt a connection with needing to take yourself in hand and finding a way to move forward after depleting your safety net. It's very difficult stuff, and I wish you and everyone reading continued strength on their path.

It was the moving on from your past behavior that was the spark to start your channel and inspired you to look at how day to day behavior can affect your long term goals. I have found some of the darkest times in my life have made me into the strong independent woman that I am today and have turned me down paths I never would have followed otherwise. Life lessons sometimes aren’t cheap, but often are still very worth it as long as we take them to heart.

Thank you, dear Hannah. I love and admire your honesty. Thanks to you I did 2 no buy months last year. And understood and learned a lot from it. At the beginning of this year I started budgeting, which was great. Then my partner broke up and right after that Covid and the lockdown started and this hit me so hard. Work wasn't an option for distraction and fulfillment (I'm a teacher for German and English and missed my colleagues and students so much) and I took care for my 3 year old daughter while also trying to work from home. At that time I felt so lonely and suddenly all surpressed feelings of my past relationship hit me (feeling not "worthy"-beautiful, loved, respected-interesting order;)). I was in a dark place and wanted to overcome that with shopping. In March and April I shopped so much online, it was insane. In Germany public life (schools and restaurants opening) started slowly again in May. And so did reason and sanity for me. But still I feel the urge to overspend, to make me happy with beautiful things. To make myself loveable. Your videos always help me going back on the right track. You can be so proud of yourself because your wise behaviour lasts. You are beautiful inside-out. Hugs for you, Joe and Sadie. Yasmin

Hi I totally think that a female leader can change the perception of women. I am German and grew up mostly with Angela Merkel as the "president" (we call them cancler). I only remember her because she has been in office since I started getting interested in politics (she has been in office for 15 years now i think, im 21) and german comedians joke that we need a male president because otherwise little boys wont know that they too can become presidents. I am aware that Merkel has some critics and of course she is not perfect because you cant please everyone. But I will miss her when she steps down next year and am anxious who will be our next leader, but most candidates are male. It is sad to see that 90% of candidates are male when more than 50% of the german population are female. Amd that not just an issue in politics. Management positions are dominated by men. And lets not talk about the church where women are pretty much powerless... that and more destroyed my faith in the church. So yes we need more women in leadership positions because diversity means more perspectives, opiniones and ways to act.

@valerie5 4 года назад

Your journey has been immensely helpful to learn about along the way of my own growth. I went through a similarly dark time in 2017 and only really in the last year or so have I found ways to bail myself out emotionally and financially toward a healthy future. Your videos have sparked me to start asking myself a very simple question every time I find myself online window shopping or actually shopping: But do you actually want to spend money on this right now? The answer I find is often no. I don’t want to spend money. I want to feel better. Realizing that the act of buying feels like medicine but leaves me with that poisoned feeling in my stomach when I’ve spent too much is so so so important. That poison is always a mix of shame and sadness and disappointment. I feel for you and past Hannah in my heart of hearts.

Dearest Hannah. I agree 1000% with you about the devastating political loss of the 2016 election. I too felt disenfranchised and lost. I still do, even moreso with recent events. I became a political activist, which made me feel so much more connected and empowered. What I want to say to you also is that I know the feeling of wanting something to feel better about myself, to self-soothe. But when I see you, all I see is an incredibly well-spoken, intelligent woman, a true creative soul, compassionate and empathetic beyond belief. Also deeply graceful and stupendously lovely. Thank you for sharing this part of your life. I see you, and I appreciate you. Stay yourself.

@spottedstar1123 4 года назад

I read a really interesting dissertation about the intersection of beauty standards, the beauty industry, and neoliberalism (i.e. the ideology that you should work on self-improvement as an individual in order to better your place in life, disregarding systemic injustices) in South Korea, though it applies worldwide in this world that has been so affected by Western imperialism. Anyway, in neoliberalism, changing ("improving") your appearance is seen for women -- people whose worth is so heavily placed on their physical looks -- as a form of self-improvement (rather than a way to ascribe to conventional beauty standards) because it's something that we can have personal control over; we're told that as long as we buy things from companies and engage in more and more consumerism and change our inherently pathologically flawed natural selves, then we can become an "elevated" or "better" version of ourselves.

@katetucker1452 3 года назад

Thank you so much for being so vulnerable and transparent in this series of vids, Hannah. I started watching "beautytubers" at the beginning of lockdown here in Australia in late March 2020. I could feel myself getting a bit too feverish for comfort with my purchases pretty quickly, after never having been interested in makeup or skincare and after being incredibly frugal in the past (reminds me of your similar response in relation to the 2017 US election results). Thankfully, I caught myself on and started watching minimalism channels which led me to finding you. I am really loving your content. Many thanks and best wishes for 2021 to you there! :)

@BeantownMrs 4 года назад

One thing that really helped me in the past few years is being really picky about what beauty creators I engaged with and deciding to focus on other parts of RU-vid that interest me like music or books. Once I started doing that my recommended list changed and I felt more interested in watching a book review vs another haul.

@shawna6893 4 года назад

Thank you for making this even though it was hard. I've been working on paying off about 6,000 in credit card debt from 2015-2017 for years now. Covid has thrown a wrench in that, but I'm still on the path!

@denisadellinger 4 года назад

Dearest Tar Heel Sister Hannah, I am and I'm sure that most of us on here are so glad you decided to come on and have a platform on RU-vid. Your journey is what most of us walk also. We struggle with spending and doubt and shame because of our habits and we want to do better. I get where you are coming from. I too, discovered beauty youtubers and began watching so that I could become better at makeup. I had a little makeup but not a lot. I began to spend and buy palettes and some of the things I saw the gurus using. My weakness is clothing. When I lost a lot of weight I began to have a restored love of myself and beautiful clothing. That is my weakness and I have spent a lot of money on both clothing and makeup. I have stopped my buying but I do occasionally buy a lip product or buy skincare. All we can do is try to do better and change our behavior. I'm proud of you. And although I am a little different from you politically, I too would love to see a woman become president. I just love that you got your masters in writing. You would be a great teacher. I like to write little stories about things I know and growing up in the mountains of NC. They say that is the best thing to do when writing. I want to go back and take some writing and literature classes. Don't know about another degree but certainly am not through with learning.

@darcyreadssometimes3904 4 года назад

I'm so proud of you, Hannah! I think it has been inspiring for me to watch you struggle and grow with finances over the last couple years (I think I caught the end of your no-buy year in real time, though I can't quite remember). Although I haven't struggled specifically with overspending on beautiful things, I think that I have definitely overspent in a sort of delusional way, thinking that I'm the kind of person who can afford to eat out all the time, buy this and that. So here I am, keeping your words in mind - have grit, take yourself in hand. Trying.

I would love to see a “holy grail” or staple comparison from before and after your no-buys. So showing what you would have previously used for a cleanser and moisturiser and the current ones you’re using. It would also be interesting to see what the price comparison would be and how much you are saving by choosing more economically responsible purchases

@inkandmoontv 4 года назад

Thank you SO much for sharing this, Hannah! I related so deeply to the emotions that led you to over-shop, as well as that shame of using savings to pay for that habit. Your No-Buy Year helped me to stick with the changes I’d put in place in 2017 and take it to a new level where seeing my savings account grow gives me more of a rush than a new makeup release. The general mood of 2020 led me to feel that draw to collect all the pretty things again and as soon as I recognized that always-scrolling-through-beauty-sites habit starting to reform, I was able to nip that in the bud before it became anything (and your channel gave me the reminders I needed to do that!). It’s strange how even just that time suck of looking/researching can bring so much shame because it shows how the issue is really that escapism and fantasy of a better self. But being in a place where we can recognize what we’re doing and reroute shows how much we’ve progressed. Thank you again for speaking on this and being so open. All the love to you! 💗

@tiiaplays9087 4 года назад

Thank you Hannah for being so open and honest with this video!! Your no-buy year inspired me to make similar changes and I'm now in a much better place mentally and financially. I can totally see how you and others around you didn't really register the over-spending, just because it's so normalized to buy and buy and buy all the time. I was the same! Hope you're making progress with self-love and forgiveness, I'm also working on that. Thanks again for the video!

I live far far away and the result of that election still stings. I can't imagine what it would feel like to actually be there, so close to taste it and then just have it taken away by the sheer indifference and ignorance of people (for which we all pay today). And I'm not sure if we can mentally prepare for an encore, American or not. No amount of soothing could make a difference.

You are very strong for sharing this, and I think it is fair to be saddened by the things that are personal to you like gender. I certainly felt that this summer, it made me feel powerless. And while all injustices anger me, the one that felt the closest to me impacted my life the most. To be honest, I think I am in the middle of where you were pre-no buy and I am finding your words and warnings very helpful as I work to transition out of it and find financial health. I am scared to talk about it as well, and it actually is very helpful to know that this habit is nothing to be ashamed of or scared to discuss in a trusted community. I am two years late to comment, but if you happen to see this just know you are appreciated!

@brittanytyler2620 4 года назад

I recently read What Happened by Hillary Clinton and I found it to be an absolutely amazing book. There are two quotes I want to share because I feel they are relevant, and they made me stop and think when I first read them: "Is representation everything? Of course not. Just because I'm a woman doesn't mean I'd be a good president for women. I would have been, but not only because of my gender. But it does matter and often in concrete ways." "If you can't imagine why it would matter for many of us to see a woman elected president and that it wouldn't matter only to women - just like the election of Barack Obama made people of all races, not just African-Americans, feel proud and inspired - I'd simply urge you to accept that it matters to many of your fellow Americans, even if it doesn't to you." The second quote in particular articulates something I've struggled to explain to others. I'd encourage you to read the book if you haven't, but like you, I have very raw feelings about that fateful election and I cried twice reading the book lol. Thanks for the great video, as always!

@MandyNiXX 4 года назад

@SundayLaughs 4 года назад

Stream on consciousness time! Since I've known you were going to make this video, I was curious what your answer would be to "why were you trying to make yourself feel better" and the results of the 2016 elections was an unexpected answer, but understandable. As a latina that night I was surrounded by an entire apartment of bright-eyed passionate women and we were all devastated by what ended up NOT happening on that election. I remember walking back to my dorm in college, going into my roommate's arms and just sobbing. I completely TOTALLY understand you on that front. What you dealt with then I'm feeling myself going through now. Not just with everything going on in the world, but in my own personal life as a girl in her early 20s I'm struggling with my sexuality and what to do with my life and my career. It's all so uncertain and I've really relied on shopping to feel some control, some happiness, some way to feel better. I really appreciate your strength and vulnerability here, because I needed this to recognize the issues within myself and to know that I need to help myself get out of it. And something you said really reminded me of the first time I ever felt beautiful. It was the first time I REALLY dressed up for high school, the first time I ever did my makeup after getting into youtube. I remember walking through the halls and getting so many compliments from friends. And the guy I had a crush on walked by me in the halls and did a double take. A whole double-take. To look at ME. I felt so good then, and I think that's where my love of makeup and clothing came from. I think now I always strive to feel the same way I did then, to get those same reactions, to get the social acceptance, to feel wanted by people I want myself. That moment really started this need to always be pretty, always be fashionable and well dressed because that's the version of my that's most well-received. It started this insecurity that anything LESS is unwanted, not attractive, not good enough. Your videos just really get me thinking about my relationship to beautiful things, and I am seriously so appreciative. Everyone needs to have these moments of introspection.

Thanks for being so honest and share your numbers

@kellyrosegavenus8109 4 года назад

I found your channel by way of your vlog of Marnie and Herbie’s vow renewal ❤️. I wasn’t able to go because of work and it was so nice to get to see them remotely! I grew up in Celo, went to camp there, went to AMS, and so I peripherally know your family and met your sister once briefly in DC. Despite having grown up in such a fiercely feminist/body positive environment, the self loathing crept its way in anyway, as it has with so many of us. Your videos have inspired me but sort of in an opposite way: my self loathing and desire to “fix” myself manifests in me actually not spending money on beautiful things to adorn myself because my subconscious tells me horrible things like “you’ll deserve beautiful things once you look like x or weigh x”. It’s insane and insidious and I didn’t even really fully realize that inner dialogue was happening until I started watching your channel. You have helped me encourage myself to actually buy beautiful things as an act of self love. Anyway, I just wanted to say hello and thank you and I wish you well.

I can relate to so much of this video. I've never been a Sephora shopper really. But I bought makeup at the drugstores where I'm from. And at small shops that imported Colourpop products into South Africa (where I lived when I did the most intense makeup spending of my life in 2017-2019). Thank you for making this video. I feel seen and I feel less shame to know that someone else has gone through much of what I have with spending on luxuries and essentials. Essentials, or what we think are essentials, can be pricey too.

@lynnebelle2276 4 года назад

As someone who isn’t American and doesn’t live in the US, even I was mentally and emotionally affected by the election 4 years ago. I can’t even fathom how those who are directly affected by the results were feeling. I do completely understand self-soothing by shopping. I’ve done it for years but recently I’ve been doing so much grocery shopping for most of my neighbours (they are elderly and therefore at risk of this virus affecting the world) I don’t want to spend even more time doing online shopping or going to stores that are now starting to reopen. Because of that, my savings account is getting happy again. I tell myself I’m doing something great for my neighbours. I tell myself my actions are keeping the alive, and it’s making me feel good about myself. The city I live in has had 93 cases total, with 1 death, and the rest recovered completely, to the point that we are case free currently! Out of a population of 173,000 we are doing very very well. Thankfully, no one in my neighbourhood has contracted the virus, so my efforts to contribute to keeping the case numbers low and my neighbours alive. With things reopening, I’ve been worried that we would get a surge of cases like there is in the US, I’ve noticed that most of us aren’t venturing out into the world yet. We know it’s not over just yet. I don’t know what I’m going to do once the pandemic is over. I’m hoping I won’t fall back into old habits, but I think things are changing... there’s a Sephora fantasy cart tag going around RU-vid, I was struggling to put things in my fantasy cart and I still only made it to 527USD! It’s still a lot, but considering just 6 months ago, I would have filled out that $1000 three times over, I’m doing very well with getting out of my shopping addiction.

@danicee 4 года назад

I really appreciate that you took the time to go over your purchases and follow up with answering questions. I recently started to pick up on comments about my spending habits with skincare and beauty and it began to frustrate me because it's not harmful, I have no debt, I have savings, I am actually using what I have and whatever I don't use I give to family and friends, and I'm freelance working as an assistant in media (TV production) so I have more free time to indulge in. My mom and sister bring up that I purchase too much, meanwhile I'm ordering less than I was before the pandemic started. Living at home doesn't help, and they constantly bring up that I should do their makeup for them since I have so many products that are going to waste. But then they let me know when there's a sale or they receive an email from a brand they know I like.. It's a toxic cycle, but it didn't start this way. It's just so easy to get wrapped up in

@thebeautyinbellspalsy5667 3 года назад

Loving the comments section - thank you to everyone’s input and stories. I’m only up to question 2 and you already have me thinking deeply. As a woman that has grown up in New Zealand the context of only having had male leaders of your country is not something I had thought of. Although in recent times I have had an opportunity to think how lucky I am for having been born in this country - I hadn’t thought about how having a history of feminism in my country had shaped what I thought/think is possible in my own life. Thanks for being the inspiration for so many to think more deeply about their lives.

Thank you for continuing to share your journey in such an articulate way. When I was a young girl, I asked my mother if a woman could be president. She replied, “No. Women are too emotional.” As women, we’ve been fighting overt and internalized sexism our whole lives. What broke me the most about the ‘16 election was the thought that another little girl could still ask her mom that question and be given the same answer. 😭 On a completely different note, I want to congratulate you on the amazing writing awards you earned. Yes, earned. While I know there’s luck in in any subjective contest, a huge amount of talent is the largest contributing factor. Congratulations! They were well-deserved. ❤️

I swear I'm going to delete instagram for exacerbating up my own feelings of inadequacy as a woman. Being a woman in the western world and going up against unrealistic beauty standards is psychologically draining. It doesn't matter how many times people tell me I'm beautiful I always think they are just saying that. I know this is something I've been actively trying to work on now for a about a year, but going a up against 30 plus years of where I have not been actively addressing it. Knowing that, I'm still going to say that I think you're gorgeous Hannah!
