10 Dumbest Purchases of My Life + Giveaway | The Worst Investment Mistakes I Have Ever Made

[@bandana_rathore]

Can totally relate Saloni. This year I have taken the resolution to add products in cart and wait for 1 week atleast and I am a skincare/haircare junkie and have not brought any new thing till I finish the earlier ones. Have only got the ordinary caffeine solution in skincare this year. Giving away the camera is such a generous gesture from your side. Would love to recieve it

[@SaloniSrivastava]

Makes soo much sense ♥️

[@bandana_rathore]

@@SaloniSrivastava A pro tip for skincare just use a good cleanser, oil cleanser if you use waterproof sunscree, a good day and night moisturizer, a serum that is mixture of different ingredients ex: innisfree greet tea serum etc and not go after the one ingredient dedicated serums ex: a niacinamide, a hyaluronic acid serum etc are too much for skin in a hot and humid weather. and above all a very good sunscreen that suits you and in time Retin A. If you are consistent you will not need anything else.

[@AnaghaBhatCo]

"Don't take the advice of any influencer including *me* for skincare, go to a derm" - That's Saloni for you! 😊 By the way, I'm also a new KZbinr, I'd love to win that camera since I vlog quite a lot. 😍

[@SaloniSrivastava]

♥️♥️♥️♥️

[@bsp8911]

It’s okay Saloni, money is all about gaining some and losing some. Glad that you reflected on your very relatable ‘bad purchases’! Keep going with your awesome content as always 😊

[@KrishnaRoyMallick]

Hi Saloni! It would be great if I get the Sony camera as I am also a youtuber and do lifestyle vlogging I am commenting from my channel only and bdw I live in bangalore 🙂 and have been your subscriber since you have 50k subscribers Love you ❤️

[@zindagiunlimitedteluguvlogs]

Yes please do the giveaway 👍. I am your follower. Started my channel after watching you and now about to hit 100k. Thank you for inspiring 💕

[@saranyaghosh2003]

My resolution for this year was to not buy any physical books, be it textbooks for college or printed notes. I studied all the material online. This has reduced so much of clutter! My bookshelves are still full of myriad JEE books that I hadn't opened even once. Tens of thousands of rupees down the drain. Turning into a complete minimalist now :) Would love to have the camera! I have been saving up for one for a long time now and if I have that kind of a luck, that would absolutely change my life. Regardless, so happy for this generous giveaway!

[@nidhiverma3945]

so today i asked my mom to buy me a phone bcs the phone i already have is around 4 yrs old it still click good pictures or i manage it to do so with filters and all but the video quality is not up to the mark so really want a good camera no matter if its a phone or a camera it self the only thing is that my purpose would be done so ya and also i learned minimalism from you only saloni and thankyou so much for making todays video what you said in the begining is so true through todays video you making yourself alotmore relatable

[@TejaswiniThumaty]

Loved your previous "things I no longer buy or own" video and now this 😍 I love how I can takeaway so many things from your videos! And I really love the idea of camera giveaway. Being a new youtuber, I have been contemplating on getting my hands on one. So, I'm definitely interested in the giveaway, it would really be useful to create some amazing travel vlogs 😍

[@PratyushaMishra]

This was such an amazing video! I have taken inspiration from your minimalist video and I have cut down my expenses so much! I wait and rethink about the things I wanna buy(apart from essentials) and if it is something I like, I try to get good pieces so that I can use it for long and don't have to get it again and again! Love your content! ❤️ Also yes, a camera giveaway will be fun 😻

[@StoryLoaded]

I love your courage to say open the bad purchases which you made, it's going to help many people like us. The thing which I was able to relate here is that, mistakes are happening to everyone not only me. And it's okay to make mistakes, but take precautions never to repeat it. Camera give away is a very good decision .I appreciate your mindset to giveaway an expensive camera. If you are going to give something wholeheartedly it can bring abundance in your life. Thank you for the giveaway!!

[@fazzifaz4449]

It’s good to know that even influencers and creators are being influenced by influencers 😅😅 I always think about for a month whenever I plan buy something from an influencer recommendation 🤣 and if I feel like I really need it even after a month, I would buy it but that rarely happens!

[@MasterIELTSwithMD]

Sometimes I too buy stuff randomly without much thinking. But from when I followed your channel last year, I am learning the concept of minimalism. My husband also follows you and always tell me that there are so many similarities between You and Me. I was also planning to buy smart watch, but now I have to rethink about it as I am just like you, don't like to wear any jewellery. And if I talk about skincare, I was buying so many things inspired by some of influencers, but now I am following my mom's home remedies only that actually suits Indian skin tone as per Indian weather.

[@Onelargefriesplease]

I can totally relate to this. I’ve wasted so much money buying junk. So many wrong shades of lipsticks and foundations, clothes- a size too big or small, electronics that I don’t even use and a dgi osmo for vlogging 🥲 which I can’t use anyway because the camera angle was too wide so I gave it back to my brother. And so many stupid subscription plans and online classes/courses. I would really appreciate the Sony vlogging camera if you’re planning on giving it away tho🥲.

[@SimplyKaushiki]

I can relate to so many of them High heels Korean skincare Online courses Garmin ( similar to fitbit) Gym membership Jewellery 😂😂😂

[@shreyasi1548]

Hello Saloni Di I am 19 year girl from rural area of Bihar. I will enter college in 2 months. It's will be a great pleasure for me to receive camera and that too from you. It will help me to start my own side hustle . Love you Always :) 💞💖

[@tarangacademy7561]

I love the idea of this giveaway .. i am interested in Sony camera .. i make educational youtube video .but bcoz of some video quality issues .i can't get so many views . I loved that if u help u ..so i can help others. 🌸🌸🌸 And one thing i love your videos ,❣️ if u read this msg then plzz reply.

[@amritaneogy5131]

Can totally relate to this Saloni. The decisions I have taken financially in the last 4 years since I started earning is actually cringe worthy now when I am learning to manage my finances. This year I decided I will not spend my money on anything till I have give myself some time to think if it’s actually adding anything to my life/ till I am out of my necessary stuffs. I also decided to try and hustle n but and have other sources of income. Would love to have the camera. Appreciate the giveaway😊

[@pavithramgofficial]

So relatable points :):) some of which I personally regret too like paytm IPO, skin care and online courses.. I'm a budding youtuber and will be grateful if I can get your Sony vlogginng camera..😉😉 get Thankyou for all the video info put here ❤❤

[@nerdybirdie884]

I so so relate to expensive skincare. Do not trust any influencer, never. I never had any pimple even during teens but the skincare made my skin so textured and bad. Vit C, hylaronic acid, niacinamide all these are just going to make the skin sensitive. I learnt it the hard way. So glad, you brought this out Saloni. Also, home remedies and taking basic care of skin is way more efficient than expensive skincare, I can vouch for this after spending loads of money in expensive skincare.

[@binodpandey5182]

I'm really glad that u are sharing your mistakes..... Honestly speaking we don't see a lot of creators making such videos........ thank you!!!

[@missphantomhive2796]

Paytm IPO😅

[@sharonjacob5225]

Hey, regarding skincare, introducing too many new products at the same time can affect your skin which could be one of the reasons of why you got acne

[@KrishysDiaries]

I can totally understand and relate to you. I have always been inspired by your videos and you are the one who motivated me to balance expenses. Since last eight to nine months whenever I wanted to buy anything, I decide on 2 things , firstly will i need to for few months or for longrun and secondly will it be really useful to me even after a year. So considering both these factors I buy which make me understand whether I need to invest that much money in that product or not. And loved your gesture of camera giveaway. I would feel really lucky and could be able to utilise it well if I win the camera and it will also help me balance my finanaces

[@khushichaudhary3933]

OMG FINALLYYY someone talked about the skincare thing, I really thought I was the only one who thought it was overrated. also about the camera, do conduct a giveaway, I want to start my youtube journey but don't have a good camera or phone to shoot. it would really be awesome if I end up winning it! anyways awesome content as always.

[@Lovleen.kakkar]

That’s a Really good idea! I’m also a new KZbinr!! Thinking to buy a camera

[@stylebynimi.1m997]

Hi Saloni, I have recently started KZbin. It would be great if I get camera.

[@reemawhokoday2535]

Hello mam...i had started new youtube channel...i hope ..by God's grace u can send me the give away mam...

[@madhuribisht8229]

Could totally relate to it ! This was one of your best videos ! I follow your videos religiously since 3 years and everytime you upload , it just makes me feel yes this is what I have subscribed for ! lots of love Saloni ❤️

[@priyankaaa_gowda]

Hello Saloni! This is one such video which actually made me realise many of my wrong investments as well as thanks to you for making me realise about my wrong investments I was about to make 😅 Also giving away the camera is really good idea!🥰

[@vaidehipandey6863]

You really giving that camera, Well I need it cuz my front camera is broken and right now I can't have a new phone either. I don't know why you will pick me but that's the only reason I'm not starting doing yt. Thank you

[@jed6938]

Hey, i watched your video just now... I would like to request you that please do the camera giveaways so that it will be useful for anyone of your subscribers including me... #cameragiveawayparticipant

[@MummyTuber]

Hi, Initially, I followed you on and off but for the past 2 months or so I have been regularly checking on your channel for updates and videos. This one is the most relatable of all for me. I enrolled my daughter for a gymnastics class and the deal that the classes gave me for 6 months membership was amazing. The classes were good but my daughter just didn't want to go after a month. I didn't force her too. It hurt a lot when I saw my hard-earned money going down the drain but I learned a lesson. I have a channel named MummyTuber. All the videos made on it are with my phone itself. Planning to start another lifestyle and vlogging channel where the main focus will be minimalism for kids and moms. Hope to get the Sony camera for that channel. If I feel that that's not the right thing for me or if I am not using it frequently then I will also organise a giveaway for my viewers as you did. 😊❤️

[@umamaheshwaripatti3952]

Yeah! We are waiting for giveaway🥳.. I was thinking to start a KZbin channel for a long time.. Due to few reasons I was not able to start.. May be this giveaway pushs me up to start yt ❤

[@SonaliS]

So raw and real Saloni loved every bit of the video and totally relate to heels things even I am not comfortable with heels but still had purchased some ❤️❤️ and skin care though even I wonder after applying so much of skin care items what a difference can it make with tons of product on market , different products marketed by different influencers.. you have totally nailed it 🔥

[@shalusachdeva]

Gift your membership and products to your viewers. I am up for cult, korean skin care, headliners etsc. Jewellery you can keep.

[@LifeAndLeisure03]

Hey! Have you given away your Sony camera already? I just started YT and would really love to get it from you.

[@Lettersfromgermany]

Seriously i stopped purchasing whatever influencers recommends, most of the influencers promote everything on earth just for money, there is nothing like genuine honest reviews

[@heenagudiya5244]

I have stopped my videos making because of not having right equipments so if I could get that camera it would be useful to start up my videos again

[@venisaravanan5336]

Hii Saloni Thank you so much for your efforts. Keep rocking waiting for your more video. Your each video teaches me and my family something new. Also thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience with your viewers. I have been following you sincerely form last 2 years. One gentle request can you please post some videos to student regarding choosing their career, which career option would be best in future in different stream, highest paid career option in the world, career option which are more in demand and not known to general public, career option where student have maximum employment opportunity. Waiting for your upcoming video🙂 which would be helpful for students to choose their career. Once again Thank you so much for your efforts 🙏👏👏👏 Keep rocking. All the best!!!

[@balagayathri416]

Hi , I am about to start my KZbin channel. As i am going to pursue my Masters just so that i can make some money out of it and manage my expenses over there in the country i am going to. It would be really great if i get a chance to have your Sony Camera. 🥺

[@TravelTalesByKinjal]

It's a great idea to give away something not being used. I have just started my youtube channel related to travel and the camera could be of use to me!! Hoping to see a giveaway soon!!! 😀😀

[@paramitamandal60]

Saloni giving away your camera to someone who wishes to start a youtube channel would be great. I am hoping to participate. I want to create a youtube channel.

[@shakthisekar187]

Exactly I bought so many makeup products but then They are in my cupboard

[@mohanakannang2262]

I request you to make video for the dumbest mistakes where most middle classes waste their money because of the marketing & Advertising gimmiks makes ppl to spend their money. So it may help them to avoid the unnecessary exp like you do. Finally I am impressed in this video how to keep on managing your things :-)

[@gaurvidixit9334]

Good idea

[@preetkaursethi]

Gym isn't made for me as well it needs dedication and I prefer walks/home workouts 😅

[@tejaswijamblekar2288]

I mean, how can we be so similar? Not a jewellery person, no heels, no fancy make up (never got pimples in my life) . I was planning to buy a FitBit since forever, i guess il let it be.. because just having it all day on my wrist will bother me 🤣🤣 Sending lots of love to you Saloni 💕

[@akshatharao7246]

Try DIY skin care that's much better we just underestimate the power of DIY or home remedies

[@lifeoflearning7296]

Hi. Could you give the camera to me? I wanted to vlog but I'm not supported by the people around me.

[@nikhilkhatri1344]

Heyy!! How to be good in communication skills Any help?

[@ashwathinair]

Yes for a giveaway. I would really really love to get the vlogging camera and start making videos on teaching science topics for students as I do not have a camera and my phone has storage issue almost every time.

[@easyprofessor]

[@pragatijaiswal1762]

It would be great help to young new creators who wants to start youtube n buying a good quality camera as a student so please consider a giveaway! :)

[@pavitragobbaka9966]

This is what I was thinking to buy a smart watch like each and everyone is buying smart watch i thought why not me later on I realised not to bought it bcz if we are not like a "fitness person" it just waste of money for us, those who are fitness freaks like who tracks every single calorie,steps etc it is useful for them so i ended up not buying that, after watching your video iam double sure that i am not going to buy it 😅 And pls do giveaway

[@PrathyushaPasupuleti]

I can relate with the heels purshase. Hey, in one of your video, you mentioned about how you avoid fast fashion clothing. Am an environmental planner and it hurts to see how fast fashion is actually ruining the environment and how it encourages the toxic work culture for mass production. Can you make a video on fast fashion in India to increase the awareness and also recommend some sustainable clothing brands ? Would love to learn more about the brands. Hope you consider this idea. Lots of love.

[@aditibhonsle7214]

I would suggest to everyone instead of investing in skincare products invest money in a good dermatologist . Your money will not get wasted and even you skin will be safe

[@priyanoronha1]

Hi Saloni, It's a great way to help a upcoming digital content creator my giving away such a great camera, it would help them a lot. Would love to win it as I have started my fruit and vegetable carving journey in the digital world, turning my hobby into a job, would mean a lot to win it and start my journey on such a high note. Thank you

[@AanyaJain]

Hey Saloni! This video is so relatable, actually it was 4 months ago when I came across your channel and eventually about minimalism, (through your videos) and I started reading about it. However, it was last month that I overspent, literally in the name of "You deserve it, Aanya" This month I am holistically trying to follow minimalism, slowly and steady to be there. Also, would love if you do the camera giveaway. It is going to help out a lot of budding youtubers out there! (Included me! )

[@nutritionistshikha9658]

[@saiprasannapachava]

Great idea Saloni!I too wanna start a KZbin channel. I would be helpful for me. Thank You ❤️

[@prathyushareddy4977]

I can totally relate Saloni. Till year 2019 I used to do impulse purchases. But during my travel I realized its impact on our panet. How impulse buying can lead to pollution through landfill fires and dumping waste into water bodies. I am now into sustainable living. I no longer use single use plastic. I compost my food waste. I use cloth bag while shopping groceries. I avoid buying any new clothes unless I use it for 20 wears. Below are my impulse purchases in last 2 years: 1. Audible subscription - It should be a good purchase. But didnt use it. 2. Cult fit Subscription - Hardly visited 1 month. Covid started. Now and then availed online classes. 3. Back Massager - cannot lower speed. High pressure on muscles. 4. Bought stocks based on calls/suggestions from telegram group without fundamental analysis. 5. Bought too many online courses - worth 2 Lakh hardly completed 40% 6. Bought 7-8 well known books - Didnt even open few of them. But I dont regret purchasing books. Please continue do videos on minimalism.

[@devjani3975]

May be all those pimples were due to purging as your skin reacted to the new products 😊

[@wittytales6224]

Hi Saloni! I could totally relate to this vedio. Prior to lockdown even I had spent my money on impulsive purchases, I totally relate with the cult fit membership as I have similar experience as you. I have started adapting to minimalistic lifestyle post the lockdown and your YT vedios are a major reason for it as well. I have started saving and investing rather than spending it on unnecessary and least important things. I have just started my YT channel and I am planning to post more contents related to Nature and my surroundings as I stay in a village admist greenery. I really appreciate your gesture on the giveaway and would love to receive it as I plan uploading lengthy vedios once or twice a week, so I can fully utilise it a honest way! Thank you for all the genuine and realistic vedios you have been posting on YT for years!

[@merrymaria1]

Can resonate so much with the heels and watch part, something on my body😀😂

[@priyanoronha1]

Hello Mam, is the giveaway winner announced ?

[@rakshi6812]

The worst purchases I made was 1.getting all paulo Coelho books at a time 2.getting full set of gardening things like sand, compost ,plant pots and coco peat. I did all these deciding a day suddenly ' I want to have a kitchen garden and have indoor plants' and ' i want to read all paulo Coelho books '.

[@sravanthiv7659]

😂

[@creativecoachdivyaa]

I laughed out loud at heels. 😂😂 I have like 4-5 pairs & want to buy more because I like hoarding just in case and wear them once or twice a year :')

[@SaloniSrivastava]

😅😅

[@bhavikashah7065]

I feel it's the first time in a long time that I got so late. I was just packing my stuff last week because I'm shifting and I came across SO MANY PLANNERS AND JOURNALS. It's really crazy. One of the places I spend/waste the most money.

[@shruthiballal1282]

Totally relatable.. I have also done so many mistakes by purchasing what so called influencer show on KZbin or insta. They make feel our life incomplete without those products 🤦🏻‍♀️ luckily I m one such who doesn't fall so easily but still have taken so many decisions which I regret still one such is makeup products 🤦🏻‍♀️ I m just kajal n lip balm person still ended up buying concealer, mascara, half a dozen lipsticks 🙄 just thinking I will also one day start using them n look like one of them 😅

[@snehaavinash9649]

[@Eshapandit01]

Loved all the purchases you mentioned. Takeaway is we need to think 100000000 times before buying something everyone else is buying. I would love the giveaway though. I am vlogging more now and getting that camera from you would be like a blessing 😌😍😍

[@ramalakshmipradeep]

Would love to participate in giveaway 👍

[@radhikak.s6991]

We all can see ourselves in this video Saloni... It's never ending game that we keep playing .... By practicing some techniques we can win over it for say putting the items in cart and leave and revisit after some days.. you will definitely make the right choice what you need and what not. Thanks for this video.

Please Saloni Di ~ please do a giveaway of camera . I really need it. The wrong purchase I made was : • Buying Lehenga from amazon. A year ago I have purchased lehenga . The quality was so bad. The color was different & also dupatta was so small. Mummy ke bahot taane sunane pde the 😶🤧 • I had purchased a bts T-shirt.
