What’s one thing you’re NOT buying in 2022? 🤍

[@Dipanjanakusary]

Plants 😐 I started a new chapter in life I can't meet the various requirements of various kinds of plants I'm happy with what I have now

[@renee6524]

Holiday decor, cheap clothing, make up (before using up what i have)

[@blythemcconaughey6851]

not buying any books or movies. its a major vice of mine!

[@dinasimakova]

I am not buying more skincare, perfumes, haircare. Probably nailpolish aswell. Oh my god. Who am I kidding. Going to fail the first week or the new year 😆

I realized that the secret to making a million is making better investment. I always tell myself you don't need that new Car or that vacation just yet and that mindset helps me make more money invest:ng. For example last year I invested 70k in blue chip stocks and crypt0 s (with the help of my advisor of course) and made about 380k, but guess what? I put it back and traded with her again and now I'm rounding up close to a million. Delayed gratification always pays off.

The wisest thing that should be on every wise individual's list is to invest in different stream of income and don't depend on the government to bring in money especially now the pandemic is hitting the economy

[@wilsonjudson1650]

you are definitely right , waiting on the government is a big waste

Investments are the stepping Stones to success especially if you been guided by a professional

[@williamjohn1374]

Investing is good but investing in the right thing is the actual key to success . who is your pro ?

[@dorissteve912]

That was exactly what I did, I trade with a professional stock expert "VIVIAN KLAINE MORGAN " who i met in one of the seminars..

[@dorissteve912]

There are so many investment out there but if profits must be considered then not all investments are good to go into.

[@kathiebaldwin6169]

About honey - If it's natural honey it doesn't go bad. It may get granulated, but all you need to do is heat it up a bit in some warm water and it will be good as new. (It also doesn't need to be refrigerated!) I'm just passing this on to you because I saw you toss a jar of honey one time and I was appalled by it. I LOVE honey! I love your videos and watching your faith in action.

[@bkjunkie1553]

This is true! You can reconstitute honey by gently & slowly heating (not boiling) place glass jar in a pot with warm water. Honey will return to usable state. Honey is a natural preservative & doesn't really go bad. It has tons of nutrients but these can be ruined if boiled (also badly burning yourself, it's gets hot fast). Just gentle, slow heating of the crystal's to return to natural state.

[@priscillajimenez27]

Yeah honey can last centuries

[@bananaanna1373]

Edible honey found in Egyptian tombs

[@ChachiTelevision1979]

I had goals of one-in-one-outs and no-buys for 2021, but life hit hard - my dad ended up diagnosed with cancer (now fully recovered and doing perfectly), my mom had a brain tumor and underwent 12 hour surgery (also now doing well and recovering speedily), and younger brother going through his own turmoil. In short, 2021 forced my wife and I to make readjustments. That said, being mindful of this in past years permitted us more time and ability to be there for my family during those events. Even if you don’t see it right now, you’ll recognize the fruits of your efforts at some point, even in ways you didn’t expect.

[@abbyscomplete1804]

This is one of my biggest fears. Not being able to be present because of all my over spending😿

[@CitrouilleCitron]

I'm a huge reader too and I haven't bought a book for years. I simply go to the library : no clutter and cheaper 😊

[@robyn3083]

Same! I also got an e-reader for my birthday this year and it was a huge game changer

[@feylights166]

Books aren't clutter for me--I love having shelves full of books, though I also have a kindle. Plus I want to support authors.

[@CitrouilleCitron]

@@feylights166 Yes I understand. I have changed my consuption. I dont want to use energy and paper for a book that will stay on a shelf. I prefer a turnover at the library. I'm an author : I prefer 10 books sold, used and reused than 100 sold and used only once. It's not the best for my sells but better for the planet...

[@feylights166]

@@CitrouilleCitron true about the planet. I have a kindle that I use, as well. But (for me, at least), there is something about being surrounded by books in my home. I am an author, too, but I also just love having books, and I do want to support other authors (though I will buy them used sometimes, especially the book has been out for a few years). I have changed my consumption in other areas though.

[@MrCmon113]

Libraries often don't have stuff. Besides you can put the book up and look smart to visitors.

[@katiedefrankcounseling1654]

I love each of these! Especially like the emphasis on the WHY behind not buying certain items (learning to appreciate and be content in what you already have). Very motivating!

[@maii171]

Great video! Last year I thought about making a list of things I didn't want to buy but I finally didn't. This video really inspired me and I'm going to write my list for next year straightaway!! I love the simplicity of your videos and your authenticity! ❤️❤️❤️

[@DemetriPanici]

Loved this! I hope everyone reaches their minimalism and personal finance goals in 2022!

[@AshlynneEaton]

Thanks Demetri! What wonderful wishes!!

[@luna7453]

Hi :) thank you :) all the best for you and everyone too :)

[@MmM20978]

I’ve for years look back at my calendar and do an overview of my year than plan for the future. An hour or so of time to invest in the next yr is a game changer!

[@jenifermayer9881]

Love when you do these types of videos! You are so inspiring. I hope you and your family have a merry Christmas! Thank you for yet another amazing video🙂

[@sydneykasmar]

I can relate to some of your areas where you're not going to purchase in 2022 and some of your 2021 list. This list really compliments the idea of being a minimalist. I'm going to try it.

[@katiecole5379]

Love that you said “good steward” of what you have! I work for a Christian based property management company and I had never heard the concept of being a good steward until jointing the team. It’s a concept that should be shared more :)

[@priscillajimenez27]

1 Peter 4:10-11 KJV 😇

[@allisonedminster8046]

I love this video. I use to be really bad at buying things just because it was on sale or I forgot that I had extra hidden away, especially for beauty products and food. Now I only buy new beauty products once I have fully used up the ones I have.

[@The.EditedRose]

Loved this! Always inspiring! I have the same one in, one out rule for TV subscriptions. I am one person and one is always enough. If there's a new show coming out on another service, I'll cancel the one I've currently got and go for the other for a month or so. I am a skincare lover and have MORE than enough cleansers to last the whole year. No buy on cleansers, UNLESS I somehow manage to use them all! No planner inserts for any planner size except the one I use daily. It can be easy to stray when you see everyone else use other sizes on KZbin/instagram.

[@mr2001]

This chosen list of yours looks challenging but possible.🌸😊It really inspired me to be a better minimalist in 2022. Thank you for this video Ashlynne. Have a warm weekend. BTW that blacktop looks so cool on you.

[@AshlynneEaton]

Thank you so much!! I’m excited about it!!

[@Dipanjanakusary]

This video was soo soo helpful it's such a gentle reminder to start reflecting on this year and try planning for the next year and see what I want to welcome in my life and what I realistically don't need

[@AshlynneEaton]

I love that!! 🤍🤍🤍

[@mondaymorning4773]

This is exactly my thought process right now as we shop for gifts for our kids…we are going to use what we have! I’m finally at that place. Our games…some we have never even played! Books…so many on my shelf I haven’t read.

[@bananapuffin8940]

I’ve extended the play my children already do rather than add more and more to look after, I have a preschooler who starts school I. Sept and know there are certain things I’m going to pass on once he has less play time at home, your right they just arnt finished with what they have

[@valval9498]

The public library has so much good stuff for free: print and ebooks, audio books online. I read so much and never have to step into the library. You can save a lot of money unless you must have a print book that you can hold. No money was spent on books due to using the library and trading print books with my friends.

[@Christain214]

And most libraries if they don’t have it you can request they buy it for you

[@feylights166]

I'm a dragon when it comes to books--I like owning them, so I'm willing to spend money on them--plus I want to support the authors. When it comes to books, I'm not trying to be minimal.

[@priscillajimenez27]

If you have friends and family who live in other countries nearby, ask them to open a library card too so if their library has what your doesn't, they can get it

[@ruthalaina4837]

I love your minimal lifestyle~ i've never thought about doing this....but i should!! so smart! and great job for trying to stick to your goals

[@AshlynneEaton]

Thank you so much Ruth! And absolutely should! They’re so helpful!!

[@chloe-louisehutchins6571]

I haven't watched you in a while but when i used to i was much more positive and i don't know why i stopped but im going to start again because your amazing

[@AshlynneEaton]

🤍🤍🤍

[@natureinurbanspace1280]

I have decided to organize pantry weekly in 2022. I have discovered lots of food get wasted since they remain undiscovered. Another resolution I will rummage my wardrobe before buying any jewellery or clothes as I have discovered there are some many clothes which I have forgotten.

[@danielledammeyer7764]

I love this video!!! So helpful, thank you. And your hair looks beautiful 💛

[@blogreaderyvo6558]

I'm ways fascinated, when people only own very few books. I just love to live in a house filled with books! They make it really cozy and warm. It is like beeing surrounded by a lot of Friends

[@feylights166]

Same here! I could never be a minimalist when it comes to books!

[@MrCmon113]

I only put up books that make me look smart.

[@britziebabe]

last year, i really drastically cut back on buying makeup. i only purchased a new item when i ran out and needed to replace something.

[@iristurck9917]

Hey Ashlynne, greetings from Flanders Belgium! Great inspiring video once again. As a professional organizer and at the same time mental carer as an experience/social worker it is my everyday work... however I could use some help with more acting on intentional living myself and you did that for me 🙏. I didn't buy much facial care products in 2021 and will continue in 2022. The covid restrictions kept me more home and be content with what I have... I will give some plants away, pancakeplats have lots of babies!!!, so I can make place for a special one this year. Have a great holiday season! Sleepless night on vacation 🫖

[@ThreefoldDesigns]

Another option for books - your local library? Here in Australia, you can order a book from anywhere in the state and get it shipped to your local library. I can also borrow ebooks and audiobooks :)

[@feylights166]

I haven't bought fast food in years--also, Chik-Fil-A is a bad company :( When it comes to books, I don't want to be minimal lol. Part of loving books for me is having them on my shelves, so that I can enjoy them, even after I've read them. I will periodically declutter them, but I'm definitely a maximalist in the book department. Plus, I want to support authors. I haven't splurged in a few years, as I am trying to read through all the books I own that I haven't read yet, but there are always preorders that I make for new releases. I just like having books. Agree about subscription services! I've fallen into this trap several times. Individually, they tend to be cheaper than cable, but they add up fast!

[@chantalhongenaert7753]

Same here on the book department 🤗

[@edithl1044]

Same here on chic filet

[@quorrakai]

I don't eat fast food except In n Out burger. I cannot give that up! 😆 And I totally agree with the pantry staples. Using one at a time and not overbuying.

[@hi-mk2lf]

I just watched your getting rid of pimples and acne with salt and water and it really works! Thank you so much for the help. You are still just as pretty as you were in the video nine years ago!

[@strawberry_moments]

I'm absolutely going to make a NO BUY list! Great idea and one I will challenge myself to do. I move around frequently so am a minimalist due to this but there is an item I have WAY too many and it's 💕PURSES!💕 Happy New Year✌

[@AshlynneEaton]

Love love love this!! That’s so exciting! 🤍

[@squisitissima2810]

I think this is a great list, and I commend you for your good intentions. I will say in regard to pantry staples considering supply chain issues and emergencies, it might be wise to have a couple months' worth of non-perishables stored away. If you have an issue with multiple open packages, you can store these items in a garage or another room so they are not in with your regular food supply. The channel See Mindy Mom has a couple of great videos on how to put together affordable meal kits made of non-perishables to keep on hand in case of necessity. It may also be that you don't need those items but someone in your life does. Keep track of expiration dates and work them into your rotation if not consumed but most non-perishables have at least a couple of years of shelf life. Good luck meeting your goals! P.S. I would make an exception for Chick-fil-A too!

[@jacquelyn.kay1109]

I only have a few on my "no buy" list as of now: 1. New clothes - if I do need to replace something I'll utilize Poshmark, ThredUp, or the thrift store. I got really bad at buying new clothes off Amazon this year 🤦‍♀️ 2. Books - exception being the one in one out rule. I have several books sitting on my shelf that I've read and several that I haven't read. 3. Bakeware 4. Fast food - you've inspired me to add this one to the list! Exception being if we're on the road. But no fast food at home. 5. Food that's not already on my grocery list 6. Subscription services...this one and number 5 were on my list for this year but I broke these rules :P

[@rh7968]

I agree with all this and will definitely be joining the efforts.

[@kellyanna94]

Don’t write off the powers of an amazing tailor! There have been pieces I loved that didn’t quite fit, but after a trip to the tailor are a million times better!! Obviously not sustainable for every time lol, but it’s amazing what can be done to make them fit like they were made for you! ❤️

[@AshlynneEaton]

Thanks so much for that reminder Blake! I actually have a couple of shirts that I really need to take the tailor!! 🤍

For me they were also BOOKS! And I almost succeeded. Bought only 1 book on my birthday. Very proud of myself and fingers crossed for your 2022 goals 🤞

[@carmenr560]

Hi Ashley! I'm interested in living a more minimalist/intentional lifestyle but don't know where to start. I would love to see your tips and POV and maybe the books or films that inspired your motivation to be minimalist. Love your videos and your channel. They are always so calming and inspiring. Merry Christmas!

[@athanasiapipiki8182]

I really like the way you organise your purchases my dear Ashlynne!! Next year I 'll just try to buy something when I need it and not before because I can't make that kind of a list right now. This year I also couldn't resist buying watercolours which I used only twice, so this year I' m covered with painting 🎨🖌️ colours (I guess that's a start)❤️❤️🎄🎄🎁🎁✨✨🥰🥰

[@waterfallpeace8057]

I enjoyed your video. I've always had a green thumb but I got carried away. I decided to send pics of some plants to our adult daughters & offer to them. They love gardening & they choose some of the plants. They enjoy sending me phone pics of thier progress. Plus, they love having a plant that I once had as a memory. Besides, they have more outside space. Some of the plants have had new growths that came from my Mom in law & her mom too. So the plants being forwarded have a family history. Our adult children enjoy them. Thank you for your informative videos.

[@heatherncasey2004]

This is a great list, I agree with most of it for my life. Also, the Chic Fil A thing is spot on!

[@EleniWiebeMentalWellness]

Great vid! Since my husband and I got married almost 3 years ago, we are practicing being good steward's of our possessions and being thankful to God for all that we have and to find that there is little we need these days. Joshua Becker from Minimalism blog( i think that's the website name) also is Christian and gives great advice too on minimalist living. I learned a lot from your videos and practicing to live simply and declutter and learning these tips helps my mental health and in my ministry to help empower and support other's wellbeing and mental health. God bless and I pray joy and peace and protection over you, your loved ones, everyone watching this video and the other youtuber's I watch from time to time for this holiday season.

[@4nikkimay]

You are so inspiring. Thank you. 💕

[@amyhoover9]

This video honestly inspired me a lot! If there's one thing I want to get back into doing, it's eating less junk food, whether it's from a restaurant or from the freezer at home. Thanks a million for the ideas, Ashlynne 😊❤

Over the past few years, I've chosen to only subscribe to streaming services when they have a new season of a favorite show. It takes a bit more management, but this way I am only paying for one service at a time and only paying for shows I LOVE as I'm actively watching them.

The book one really resonates with me. I need to visit my library more and stop spending so much on books.

I feel the same about take out, pantry items and I also seem to have a problem with stationary, specially pens! Your videos are so motivational ! I want to avoid falling into the trap of having to buy a specific gadget when I may just have an item that can work for the same purpose.

[@luna7453]

Hi :) great video :) thank you for sharing your experience and motivations :) it is inspiring :) I decided to buy nothing (plants, decor, clothes...) apart useful tools for my new professional goals :) or unless really needing it (the example of the holes in pans more than used is a good example in fact :) I am in a work transition :) so it involves to dedicate a lot of time for it and during the learning time, that I chose to dedicate for it, I do not have salary coming in of course.. but it has been a choice to take a time to focus on this dream work project. so the new year goal is to maxi focus on the new professional dream goals :) I am working a lot on it these months :) so I feel to buy nothing and save for letting me the time to learn to create my new work path that I dream :) and then, to celebrate it traveling, that I miss so much, but it will be back , step by step, thank you for all your inspirations and your positive mood 😊 it encourages to live more minimal, intentionally, to follow our goals dreams.. ✨ :) thank you for all the inspiration you offer us in all your great content since years :) you did inspire me so much on my path :) (I am not working on the same field but it allows me to sense how living more intentionally is a path I feel called too :) thank you so much. you are really an inspiration for many people :) and your smile is so contagious :) I wish you all the best for this lovely time of the year and a lovely Merry Christmas 🎄✨💚🌕 (sorry if my English is incorrect... ) I follow you from France, kiss kiss lovely Ashlynne, you shine as a very sweet and kind person :) we can sense it on your videos :) I feel blessed to have met your channel on my path.... you are like a messenger of God..an angel with pure heart..😇🙏🌟 bless you, sincere gratitude, 💓

[@emmalilybear]

this gave me so many great ideas! i have a book buying problem but after watching this im making the rule for myself- i can only buy a new book once ive read one i already have and that way i can remin kinda net neutral and hopefully read all my tbr with only buying a few new books in 2022

[@heathergosse]

Omg you triggered me with the plants bahaha but I totally get it! I've focused on taking care of the plants I have too and they are so lush!

I agree about the fast food, I've been eating that way too often in 2021 and i also want to cut back, with the exception of In n out lol

[@natureinurbanspace1280]

Your vlogs soothes my mind....

[@annetteelder-clark505]

Wanted to address your art comments. You & your Hubs are both gifted artists & I prefer when artists display their own work. I have my son's paintings hanging in my home and I feel love every time I look at them. I'm a photographer, I print my work on canvas, glass, light boxes, and paper in various sizes and display them. I have 2 inch photos and 24x36 in photos, and my home looks & feels different from my friends & neighbors. I encourage you to review your travel photos and find the one that sparks for you and print it on canvas, blow it up poster size, or print tiny series of photos and display together in 3s. I have 3 tiny photos of historic (nostalgic) restaurants my family luved here in Nashville, but have now closed. The 3 pics of the doors & signs of those small restaurants look adorable on a shelf in my kitchen & when guest see them we share memories of the wonderful shakes, burgers, or pasta we & our community enjoyed there for 30 years.

[@adopsninja]

It's not easy but this video helps me to be more practical this year! ✨

[@HomePotato22]

I love this - such a good idea and a great way to set some goals for the new year!! My biggest challenge is going to be walking past the dollar section every time I go to Target 🎯

[@elizabethbednarcik3311]

Totally agree, Chick-fil-a is the only fast food worth going to!

[@kallasusort2986]

Stocking up on food right now is a good idea with all the talk of food shortages ... I have been buying freeze dried foods like crazy they taste really good - no additives, not food waste, lightweight for storing, easy. Think about it.

My no buy list for 2022 is candles, shoes, and soap/shower gel. Good luck with your list!!

A nice expression I heard with clothes is, "clothes are supposed to fit you, not the other way around" and it makes me feel better with picking out clothes in sizes I would not have a couple of years ago!

[@MrCmon113]

Wtf were you doing before?

[@wonderwoman5158]

Try to keep take out at a minimum maybe on a special occasion or for a date night. No more cleaning supplies . No books since I obviously can't seem to finish the one my husband bought Mr recently 😕. No decor items No impulse buying No buying cheap products and end up repurchasing since it broke or ripped. No plants No small gadgets No excessive of anything honestly. We've been working on decluttering and have done a great job since we've moved. I've sold a good amount too and keep working on selling more , donations and trashing items that can't be used or damaged. Definitely using all we have until we can't anymore goes with food too. Hope you all have a great weekend take care.

[@ceilihigh]

There's a lot of neighborhoods in my city that have little book sharing cabinets. You bring a book you don't read anymore (or few if you want), then you can pick a book from the ones that are already there😁 super great for decluttering your book collection and adding new ones for free!

[@vaidavysniauskaite7868]

We have the same in Lithuania. I think it is such an amazing idea !

[@mrskhazelton]

These are great ideas. I am challenging myself not to purchase any more hair dies and special products. I spent most of 2021 maintaining a blonde head of hair and it very quickly ate up a lot of my descresionary income. I'm going to push through the grow out and get back to a more natural healthy head of hair. I'm also a person who loves stationary items so I'm pausing spending on things like new pens, highlighters, planner stickers and those sorts of things.

[@f.-j.j.5738]

I use the library for one read books, the ones I know I will only read once. But, I find it hard to deny myself books, so I visit the used book section of my library and also attend their used book sale, which is held quarterly. It’s a great way to satisfy my love of books for not a lot of money because most books are $2 each.

[@CarolynnMc01]

You can never have enough art supplies! :) I'm not buying anything made with grains (again). Have a great holiday.

I'm not buying makeup or jewelry in 2022. My wife used to say "Another necklace? You only have one neck!"- and she was so right! I don't wear half of what I've collected, so it's time to shop my stash.

I am trying to learn to be content with what I have in the New Year that way I can pay off all debt

[@AshlynneEaton]

Love that so much!!

[@mewpie85]

I’ve been doing the one in one or two out with make up 💕 it makes me appreciate all the amazing products I already have!

[@strawberry_moments]

I also just recently did a makeup decluttering and it feels great having a condensed collection!

[@AshlynneEaton]

Love that so much!!

Hi :) I do it too :) it is really nice and clearer in fact :) I allow me to buy a new mascara only when the one I currently use is nearly to his end and that's perfect. it keeps all very minimal in a little case :) I love it :)

Libraries are a fantastic way to not spend money on books! They offer more than just physical books - audiobooks, ebooks, video games... Definitely something worth checking out. 👍❤️

[@ashleyholder2218]

Ok here is my list- Clothes (besides underwear) Home decor Seasonal decorations (which could also fall under home decor too) Makeup (unless I’m replacing something) Books (unless I can get it with my used book store’s trading/credit system) Sodas

Girl, get yourself a Kindle! I swore I would never use an e-reader, but my husband bought me a Kindle recently and it has totally helped me with saving money and space on books!

[@briankachor566]
