What’s one thing you WISH you didn’t buy? 🤍

[@ankitakarmakar9627]

High maintenance plants 🌱 😅

[@AshlynneEaton]

Haha yesss!! It’s a big one!

[@catelaframboise]

High heels! I'm pretty short too (5'2) and couldn't wear them for health reasons when I was younger. And though I love how they look I cannot walk in them at all. 😅

[@jessieelliott3157]

The best souvenirs are the ones where you have an actual purchase you need like a new pair of boots or sunglasses and you buy them on a trip. You can get something a bit different to what's available in the local mall plus the joy of buying it somewhere exotic and the attached memory of your holiday. I got my favourite skirt in Melbourne.

[@AshlynneEaton]

Yes!! Completely with you on this! One of my favorite mugs I got in Costa Rica 🥰

[@darleneplant6604]

I pick up rocks from my travels for my rock garden and also ornaments for my Christmas tree. I love decorating my Christmas tree with my travels..it really bring me back to those memories and I love revisiting them every year.

[@TriviRocks]

I buy notebooks with original pictures on them - that's because I use them a lot. Everybody asks: "where did you get that fantastic one?" Haha

[@andeewood9546]

I love your phrase “simple and intentional living”. It’s something I’m trying to integrate into my life and my business

[@AshlynneEaton]

Oh that’s so awesome!! Definitely a big life theme for me too! 🤍

[@Katirin89]

I regret buying clothes in smaller size which were tight for me but I tought "it's so pretty, maybe one day I'll fit into it properly".. aaaand that never happened. Nowadays I only buy clothes which fit me well and which I actually need.

[@AshlynneEaton]

Oh wow I relate to this so much!! Thanks for sharing! 🤍

[@susie7336]

Oh, this is me all the time...!

[@esthertje7258]

You can really tell that people are very different. I love my sheer clothes and high heels. And I really enjoy my activity tracker. Things I regret buying: 1. My first couch, I bought it in a fabric that was not practical for the model couch I had picked, the quality was mediocre at best, it was not comfortable, the wrong size and it was pretty expensive. I was just starting to make bigger purchases for my own home and I did not think it through properly. 2. I bought way too many towels for my bathroom, I can only use one at a time but I thought I needed a big set of like 10. So unnecessary. 3. I also bought way too much kitchen gear like plates, forks, knives etc. I don't have that many dinner parties w. 10 people, so what do I need 10 plates for? 4. Dress shirts I have to actually iron. I hate ironing. So now I just buy clothing with a tight fit or made out of wrinkle free material. No more ironing for me. 5. Fast fashion is a big one. Although some of the fast fashion I bought back in the day really has the right shape for my body, so it genuinely makes me happy. And if it breaks down I repair it. But never again will I sponsor unethical, badly made stuff. 6. And buying everything new is a big one. Looking back, if I would have thrifted more sooner, I would have saved a lot of money.

[@sparrow.6392]

Jackets. I live in a very cold place and I have many jackets, but in the winter I only use about 1-2 of the ones I have. I'm trying to downsize my wardrobe still and I'm happy to say I've been making some progress.

[@AshlynneEaton]

Mmmm that’s such a good one! I love applying the 80/20 rule to my closet! What are the 20% of my clothing items that I wear 80% of the time? That can really help determine what we get value from!

[@SimpleHappyZen]

Great video! I've been pondering getting blue light glasses for a while now, because I tend to get dry eyes quickly (which gets painful). I've found conflicting evidence on whether or not they help with that. So I guess I would have to try them out to see if they work for me. However I also totally agree with the tip about looking at something else regularly when working on your laptop. I combine that with moving around my space, to give my eyes a break as well as get my body moving

[@AshlynneEaton]

Thanks so much Vera! I’m not sure how blue light glasses might affect having dry eyes, but it might be worth a try! The big things I got them hoping they’d help were eyestrain and headaches, but for me at least the tip of looking away worked a lot better! 🤍

[@sararad8256]

There are plenty of free apps for both your phone and computer that block blue light. Many devices even have them installed already, I know that Windows computers have that option - just search "night light" in the settings. You can adjust the strength of it and even set it on a timer. No reason to spend money and buy plastic glasses. Also you can put eye drops every once in a while

[@Sarahleanned]

So that reference is more in regards to dry eyes and computer use. Which, also can be an issue. Studies have shown that we blink less when on a computer. For this reason you are supposed to look away for about 20 seconds to help re-lubricate your eyes. Blue light protection is rather new and there is not enough studies to show what if any long term harm we are getting from too much blue light exposure. The main reason for day to day blue light protection is for people with sleep issues. Because as you said blue light, comes from the sun as well and when we watch digital devices we are also getting blue light exposure and this can interrupt our circadian Rhythm and our sleep pattern.

[@jocypare6019]

1. not blinking 2. not producing oil 3. not producing water. one of the 3..

[@amberrhea5293]

I can tell you that I'm a lawyer so I stare at a screen and sit in fluorescent lights all day. I got my new prescription glasses with blue tint and they've made a huge difference for me.

[@jackiebittinger6777]

I'd love to see a minimalist workout routine, I'm not sure if you have one already but I feel like even in fitness there is so much and it gets overwhelming. I'd love to see your take on it!💓😌

[@justadudeintheworldman.120]

# 8 Sale items hits hard. At Targét today, saw a shirt that said “I Drink and I Know Things” with a Game of Thrones logo. It was $3.59 on clearance. I never in my life watched a GoT episode but I justified the purchase because it was in black & indeed I do, drink & know things...

[@minister314]

When things are generally on sale, the typical reaction is "I've got to have it". Which is more invaluable than one may believe. It is based on convenience and not valued individuality.

[@AshlynneEaton]

Thanks for sharing Terrance!

[@TipsNDIYs]

You have matured so much in a young age.you should be proud of yourself,i have learned a lot from you,lots of love from India.

[@therobotdevil2284]

I also got rid of all my heels! Platforms are way more my style and I can confidently and comfortably walk in them. Yay for rejecting what we are "supposed" to do, and embracing what feels right to us as individuals!

[@rosewolf8246]

I agree with everything except blue light glasses 😭 They help me so much. Eyes hurt without them. It's more comfortable wearing them while using the screen for long periods of hours. If I wore blue light glasses long time ago.. I wouldn't have such many eye issues. Blue light glasses is a necessity.

[@rosieperez1564]

Omg every time you made a gesture I got so nervous that your drink was gonna spill all over your cute top, love your videos

[@salerinaxo]

Always feel like that lol

[@maddiemalacopa1380]

My biggest regret is purchasing from e-commerce shops- particularly clothes- that I can’t return purchases to. I’ve learned the hard way that shopping international, most Etsy shops, and Poshmark don’t accept returns so, even though I could potentially save money shopping second hand, it could cost me money in the long run bc I can’t return it if I don’t like it. I do love vintage so I do sometimes take those risks but some of those purchases are my biggest regrets.

[@emilynicole121170]

These videos are so helpful! Thank you for helping❤️I’ve always wondered: where did you buy your watering can from? I love the small golden look and it’s a good size for just small house plants. My biggest regret is indulging in spur-of-the-moment hobby supplies buying. I’m a very hobby loving person so I have supplies for acrylic painting, water coloring, embroidering, sewing and quilting, knitting and crocheting, and all kinds of crafty things. I usually complete one or two projects from each area and never touch the materials and supplies again😒 so maybe picking one and sticking to it or not buying so quickly would help keep the clutter down in the long run

[@woolypuffin392]

I really started hating my fit bit. Not because of the tracking, but for the horrible hardware to App connection which is just a hassle every time i tried to connect them. After swimming in a pool once it broke and i was kinda glad honestly.

[@MarielaMerino]

Yes I feel this too! I just don’t bother with the app much anymore and just use it to see how many steps I take. It’s still an essential for me and I talk about it on my channel often too

That's why I purchased faux plants. Always gives me joy without the commitment of caring for them. Decluttered all my flats and my plus sized clothing that were ill fitting/too loose this morning. Such a great feeling!

[@BellaEssentialLiving]

For finicky clothing, I found that when you shop at thrift stores things have already shrunk in the wash (probably the reason they are at the store) and it makes it much easier to deal with fabrics like silk or rayon or quality cottons. I have not worn lace, but bulky stitch sweaters are similar and get caught on the strangest things and pull or tear the clothing. A very helpful video to know that we are not the only ones making mistakes. I don't regret having an orchid...it was absolutely beautiful, but I didn't know how to care for it and since I didn't repot it, it had root rot that turned into crown rot. I did learn ALOT about caring for orchids, but I *might* think twice about another purchase considering the intense care they require.

[@krisd_b]

Curious how you prepare for an emergency if you don’t have too much food on hand. This is something I’ve been thinking over. I don’t want too much stuff but I also want to feel prepared. I regret buying cheap versions of things that I want. In the end I wind up getting the better quality item after I purchased the cheap alternative. Such a waste of money!

[@salerinaxo]

Same

[@MissKG.13]

Idk if this will help, but coming from an Asian household, also having places like Cosco or Walmart. My family would buy foods that last longer and don’t need that many ingredients or time to cook. Such as, a large pack of rice, we had a large pack almost the size of a bed pillow that can last for months ! Cream of wheat and oatmeal last a very long time. You can also buy very large packs of them. Filter on your water , therefore, you can drink your water without any issues . Just my take

[@occfilms]

I can totally relate with you about the high heel thing. The good thing is that I've found a middle ground in booties with a 1 1/2 inch heel. I love them and if styled right, you can wear them all year long. Never compromise who you truly are. If high heels aren't for you, don't wear them! I don't.

[@ukulelelani4]

Can I just say, you have became my favorite KZbinr! School started again for college so I rarely go on KZbin as much, but when I have time I only watch your videos. I feel a really calm and relaxing vibe when I watch your videos. I also find myself gravitating towards a more simple and intentional lifestyle and I love that you express minimalism without putting pressure on people who are transitioning into that lifestyle. I become more motivated to put more thought into the things I buy and how to maintain my living space. Thanks I love your videos! 😊💖

[@ukulelelani4]

I also regret buying storage containers. I end up finding more things to buy and store when I’ve found that the less storage containers I own the less things I feel the need to buy!

[@rojanjunior1821]

Oh my God, I was waiting for someone to work that out "blue light glasses" . Everyone here on You Tube are using them and then I thought I need 'em but when I asked my eye specialist, if I needed one, he said No, even when I had an eye surgery last year, so I must take more care. Thank you dear Ashley, love you. Hope you a good day.

[@lovelyjoypanganiban4478]

I’ve been thinking of purchasing a blue light glasses too since I work 8hrs a day in front of a computer but now after watching I’m having second thoughts.

Yes I relate to a few of these! I also did this video recently 😌 It’s fun to look back on things we thought we needed then but now don’t after living more intentional

Loved this video. There’s so many things that you talk about that we already know but just choose to ignore. One of biggest reasons we buy more than we need is wanting to follow and keep up with trends and also think this will make us more likeable ... love hearing you speak ❤️

[@TheLunaPulvia]

I agree with you on the "low maintenance clothes only" rule. If something is dry cleaning only or is super wrinkly no matter what I do, it's a no 🙅‍♀️

[@FabulouslyMoni]

Oh my goodness!! I could relate so much to finicky clothes! I wasted so much in the past on clothes that I had to constantly adjust or wear "special" undergarments for. Also, higj maintenance plants 🤦🏻‍♀️ No more of that for me. P.S. What is that plant that you have a vase with water called? On your bedside table. 😊

[@AshlynneEaton]

Haha yes!! 🙌 So with you on these! And the plant on the vase is actually a cutting of my monstera deliciousa!

When you told about watering plants, it made me back to old memories where I was watering all plants in my front yard every evening, and thank you for tell me you regret buy high heels, I feel lucky because I only have one and maybe will not buy again. It's a guilty for me because I just bought 2 glasses where I don't know now, did I really need it or not, maybe I just need to check my eyes and have consultation with doctor and get the right glasses.

[@chillibird2511]

Hi ashlynne - what a great idea for a video. It got me thinking about my mistakes of purchases such as high maintenance plants, and cheap made clothes coz of their look. I buy native plants and annuals. Mistakes is all a part of a personal journey. 💓

[@simplyw_daniela9536]

The thing I regret buying is my bedroom set. I didn’t realize how much space it would take in my bedroom. As a minimalist I am now realizing that and it’s only a year old and so I am contemplating if I should give it away or sell it. 😕

All good regrets and reasoning. I'm differently for no fuss comfortable clothing and shoes. I don't have a problem with over purchasing food. I make sure I use it before its not any good. To expensive to waste. I sure agree with leaving souvenirs in there shops. What's worse is people thinking they need to give me a souvenir of their trip. Ugh!

[@Isabel_fit]

2) Im a shorty as well (5’0”) and I HATE high heels so that’s why I wear wedges instead 😉 they are just soooooo cute and easier to walk in! 3) I love my “fitness tracker” which is my Garmin watch. I use it for walking, strength training, running, etc. I actually didn’t have the step counter feature on until late last year despite owning this watch for a few years! 7) I bought the blue light blocking feature for my glasses bc Lens Crafters scared me into getting it 😂 Some people claim they work, others claim they don’t. I just can’t compare bc I’ve never had glasses without that feature. However, my job is to stare at a computer 24/7 and I have the tendency to forget to take a break for my eyes. But I feel like it probably is a scam lol

[@MyLifeAsRuth]

Tip: If you love souvenirs but you don't want a ton of clutter, try pressed pennies! I love my pressed penny collection and I use blue tack to display them on the outside of my bathroom door.

[@sailingavocet]

thats brilliant

[@favlam1408]

I wish I haven't purchase books, college books. We used like one chapter for the whole semester and never seem to use it again, and they keep stacking up over time. Next year or so, a new edition appear and it'll too late to sell then. If I managed to sell them, it'll be half a price or less. I also have 5 back bags that I hardly ever use, extra school supplies and furniture, and cups, too many cups.

[@airari24]

For the future, you can try renting textbooks from local bookstores, Amazon, or Barnes and Noble. It is usually a bit cheaper and I no longer have the added weight of finding what to do with all those books. It can get a little tricky for books that need online codes from the textbook, but I find that is the exception and not rule

Just one? ;-) I think one of my biggest purchase regrets is my reading chair that is in the living room. First of all, I never sit in it. Second, it's a blue/teal color. While I love that color, I now have to plan my decor accordingly. I wish I had either bought a neutral color or no chair at all!

My biggest buying regrets: #1) makeup subscriptions(I RARELY wear makeup) so now I've been giving away a lot of it to friends and family who actually wear makeup #2.) travel souvenirs like t-shirts, sweats, hoodies etc which I've recently decluttered all of and donated to goodwill. #3.) Storage solutions. Instead of admitting to the need of decluttering items i end up buying storage solutions. This year ive been able to declutter all of my storage solution items.

So the American Ophthalmology reference is more in regards to dry eyes and computer use. Which, also can be an issue. Studies have shown that we blink less when on a computer. For this reason you are supposed to look away for about 20 seconds to help re-lubricate your eyes. Blue light protection is rather new and there is not enough studies to show what if any long term harm we are getting from too much blue light exposure. The main reason for day to day blue light protection is for people with sleep issues. Because as you said blue light, comes from the sun as well and when we watch digital devices we are also getting blue light exposure and this can interrupt our circadian Rhythm and our sleep pattern. Just another reason why we aren’t supposed to look at digital devises before bed. LOL, not that I listen to my own advice either.

is it safe to bring an external hard drive without a case? cuz mine only comes with a box, without a case, and i found out that it would be so much easier to carry it without a box, but it is safe? i'm facing several options : 1. throw the box and just carry the hard drive (not safe maybe?) 2. purchase a case ( hard or soft ? on a budget but wanting a nice and high quality one) 3. keep the box (more space consumed, not simple when going out) Please help me guysssss thxxxx

Omg I agree on high heels point as even I collected heels because I'm short and ended up not using it ever !

I don't know. My prescription glasses have blue light tint. I get sick from the fluorescent lights in courthouses and offices. My screen hurts too. The prescription blue light lenses act like sunglasses for me and I can tell a huge difference when I have them on.

I’ve definitely fallen into old habits with clothes, only to regret buying them a month later & just donating. Post break up with my partner, all my belongings are now in one place... very overwhelming x

[@AshlynneEaton]

Oh man I’ve definitely been there before with those buying habits! You’ve got this though 🤍

[@angelikabatwoman]

i think i never bought a fast fashion item that fell apart, i never know what people are talking about when they say that... maybe they wash their things too hot? maybe the dryer? cause i always wash them cold and hang dry them. that doesn't mean fast fashion doesn't suck, it does of course :D

oh my god I missed a lot of your videos :( I was with classes all week but now I can see your videos

[@jazzie2967]

My closet is filled with dresses and shoes like high heels! But i do use them a lot like at least 2-3 times a week so im not getting rid of those lol more for my tshirts

[@athirdeyejournal]

Relate to the heels regret so much :'( I am 5'4" and fell into that fashion trap (sigh). I am much too active and heels hurt!

Honestly I think coffee mugs and fancy coffee machines are my regrets. I haven't bought any new mugs in about 2 years. But every time I see seasonal mugs at the store, they just make me cringe.

I always wondered how accurate those fitness trackers were......I've tested a couple just to find that they could change just by moving or bumping your arm.

[@sherinmathai1916]

[@AshlynneEaton]
