I once asked my mother to buy me some makeup brushes on sale and told her “if we buy them now we save 50%” and she replied “and if I never buy them I’ll save 100” 🤣🤣 it was the best advice, I don’t fall into consumerism as much as other people💜

Once I became an adult and had to pay for all of my own stuff I was having a really hard time finding balance between getting some fun things and getting necessities (especially with clothes/makeup). So now my clothing rule is if I can't think of three different outfits to wear with the item from what I have already then I won't buy it. It has really helped me buy less but also not feel guilty for getting something new. I want to be good about my budget but not give up every fun thing I enjoy so finding a balance is nice.

I literally own like 20 pairs of black leggings 🤦 my excuse is I don't have a washer & dryer at my apartment so I don't do laundry as often as I'd like to. And my fat ass wears black leggings daily after gaining 45 pounds that's all I feel comfortable in. 😔 September can't come fast enough! I'll be getting the Gastric Sleeve surgery done!!!

I made a lot of changes in my life this year, and so you could say out with the old and in with the new. I also used to buy a lot of makeup every month. Since April I've only bought 1 bronzer and 2 highlighters.

I keep a running list of items I want to purchase on my phone. I am on a low buy, so clearly I cannot purchase all these new releases. I realized that new releases go on sale about 6-9 months after their release to make room for new releases. So, if the item is already on my phone, I will purchase it if I still want it. Many times, I don’t even want it anymore. The magic wore off.

I have made it a point to buy more of my daughter’s (3 years old) clothing at local thrift stores. It does save so much money and it’s putting money into local small businesses which I appreciate. Her clothes generally only get a few months of wear and I can’t bring myself to spend huge money on them. Shoes however, I always buy new. She’s tough on them and if they have been used already they just don’t get used enough from her.

I think it is very important for influencers like you to bring this idea to attention ❤ I myself have been on a more minimalist path for the last year and my life has changed so much, for the better. Tbh I have unfollowed the majority of "beauty influencers" because there is a constant pressure to buy more and more stuff, and that is all some of them talk about. But I am still subscribed to your channel because the way your videos come across is very rarely like "you all neeed this!" You always seem honest, down to earth and acknowledge that us "normal people" can't just go buy every new product/clothes etc out there.

Great video Jessica! You talking about cleaning products got me thinking it would be great if you made a video talking about all the cleaning products you use and love around the house. Would love to see it and be introduced to products that way! Thanks!!

When you were talking about clothes, I immediately thought of that green top you were complaining about recently. I try to make myself look at anything on sale and ask myself if I would buy it full price. If not, pass

My husband and I switched from shopping every week to every other week recently because of covid. We call the second week our "chopped" week where we use up everything in our fridge in creative ways. It's been really fun and I've noticed less food waste!

I learned the hard way how to declutter. Moved twice in 5 years & was forced to become a minimalist. Although I still have clothes & shoes in boxes I can bring myself to throw away. New rule - If I didn't use it in a year, it's outta here.

I also used to buy lots of backups for things when there were 5 of us, hubby and I plus our 3 teenagers. I’ve had to reset as all of the kids have moved out. 2 empty nesters (one of which works out of town half the time) just don’t need the same amount of food on hand. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Love the change of background and you talking to Tyler and not editing it out :) Your home is beautiful and cozy feeling. The fantasy self video is probably my favorite of yours because I've already been decluttering a lot, but it really changed my mindset even more. Really enjoyed this video too and love how you stated its not all black and white. Thank you for all of the lifestyle content even more because they tend to be my favorites of yours :)

Jessica, I have a way to save money if you buy wholesale, get rid of artificial smells-buy a diffuser (or 2 or 3 😁) and use 100% pure essential oils in the diffuser. It only takes a few drops and purified water. I hear you about all the cleaners! I use an essential oil based cleanser-OnGuard cleanser. It takes a small amount with water and a spray bottle-bam! No more chemical cleansers. I can share more healthy choices: Clothes soap Dryer balls Foaming hand wash Etc. I’m not at all trying to force anyone to buy anything, of course. I hate that too. I just wanted to share some options for things you want to replace and have bad chemicals. 😊 God bless. 🤗
