I am with you. Depressed, angry, scared. Not buying gives us some control back.

Same! The idea of giving anyone my money right now makes me sick. They haven't earned my complicity.

[@julianapurvis3461]

This could not have come at a better time. Im currently struggling with some credit card debt and I need a no buy to dig myself out. 🙁

Hi Curly, I’m also on a no buy for the rest of the year(started in June) I also make videos if that will be helpful for you!

“Searching, wanting, discerning, planning to purchase …” uh-oh! I’m joining No Buy July!

[@larkfly9273]

love the fact that you are not too proud to "go back" in the process. this makes you wise and decisive in my opinion.

[@Wallisimo]

I was just sitting down to plan out the next month. I think a 'No Buy July' is a perfect goal as I also need a behavioral reset. Putting it in the planner to make it official!

[@libbyjacobs1283]

I love no buy July! Coincidentally I have heard rumblings of a women’s strike from July 3-5 to protest the overturning of Roe, because women make up a large percentage of the purchases in this country we could send a strong message! Thanks Hannah ❤️

[@PamsPrettyPlants]

@@AngelissimaASMR go read a book about boycotts and stop bothering people.

[@bestagentofdarkness]

@Cherubique Hi, boycotts have successfully resulted in better support of human rights by businesses and countries. Also, it is easy to say, "move somewhere else if you dont like it here" but financially a huge burden on many people.

[@mollympls]

it's absolutely time for a general strike. long past.

[@angelacameron4524]

Yes, I have NO desire to go anywhere or celebrate this country and what it is becoming. Why would I celebrate our independence when that has become a lie? If I purchase anything this month, it’s going to be a fun patterned wallpaper or curtains from a small business.

[@pinkpandamiranda]

@@PamsPrettyPlants go read a book about women's liberation and stop bothering us. Thanks.

[@tharzanne]

I have had some of the worst days of my life this past week. I've just been feeling so helpless with the state of America right now. But I've been channeling my fear and anger into productivity. I've been going to protests, cleaning, and gardening. In the past, this would have spiralled into a dehabilitating depressive episode, but I am proud to say that I now have the tools to help myself. If anyone in the comments is feeling the same, I recommend you take some sort of action. Donate if you can. Protest if you can. And if you can't do either of those, then spread the word! Be sure to prioritize your mental health, though. ♡ Take care!

[@Elizabeth-qp1rn]

SCOTUS also neglected the negative impact their decision istelf would have on the psyche of women. So many of us are devastated, angry, hurt, concerned, feeling marginalized, etc.

[@lhun3952]

Thanks for this! 👍

[@AuntieFa]

A lot of women, including myself, are withholding their labor and purchases on 3rd- 6th July 2022 as a protest for Roe v. Wade having been overturned. Some are doing it for the entire month.

[@MoreCoffeePlease.]

Thankyou, I hadn’t heard this and have the privilege to partake. 💛

[@hausacat]

What are the implications of it being overturned?

[@J104090]

Even RGB said the Roe decision was inherently flawed. This is a matter for the states, not the federal government. I am astounded by how few people actually understand the purpose and jurisdiction of the Supreme Court.

[@coreym.9125]

Yes. I will be joining with no buy July. The ruling really took the winds out of my sails in a big way. So I will be forgoing all non essential purchases through the end of July. And the money saved will be getting donated to the places that are able to support reproductive health. Hopefully I can look to things I already love to bring a spark of joy back.

[@estellerose9900]

I'm very excited to see what Joe picks for review!!!! I'm just leaving a 6-month eyeshadow no buy and it's defintiely improved my life. The best (if most boring) part has been designing how I can work with a budget as an ADHD-driven impulse spender. I've made an interactive budget spreadsheet where I can write in every time I spend money and see where it lines up with what I'd planned, and it's almost like a little spending diary for the month :)

[@julieo4580]

I could literally go like two years and not have to buy hair stuff, skincare or makeup. I have been trying to figure out what I am trying to replace in my life by shopping and I am not sure what it is. I think when I gained a lot of weight I started with buying things that always fit no matter what I weigh. I think my online shopping can be replaced with walking the dogs and using up the plethora of crap I have. And organizing it!

[@GeeSmith333]

Yes, I battle with impulse spending too. It's been rough the last 6 months. Who needs 7 new eye shadow palettes?

[@Chaotic_Pixie]

As an ADHDer too, I’ve found gamifying anything helps. When I did my no-buy year (I didn’t even buy groceries or gas, my spouse swiped the card) I tracked everything I WANTED to buy. It was eye opening. The amount of money I saved… I also worked my way through so much of my art supply stash… it felt so good! I actually haven’t gone back to any level of consistent spending except on groceries since. It’s a lot more buy what I need, when I need. And for impulse spending… I created a special account. Because I know it’ll happen so I budget for it… same as for savings and bills and groceries and gas. I tell ya… something about knowing I have the $$ to impulse spend has helped curb it. Same reason I keep a choccy bar in the fridge. I know it’s there and will be, on that really horribly day when I need base level coping. Best of luck!

[@anh7807]

@@GeeSmith333 I am there. I am going to try no-buy for the next month. My exceptions will be going out to eat with family and a fancy coffee twice weekly. I just bought 5 new palettes in the past week. I already have about 40... we try to feel that satisfaction and happiness through spending. It needs to be replaced through healthier habits instead. I am not struggling financially...but I am not saving either. That is my goal.

[@elekay312]

Yes, joining in. I’m feeling the same… just spent about 6 hours “looking” for the perfect iridescent eyeshadow. Like, REALLY? I can’t sleep or breathe a deep breath, but iridescent eyeshadow is my focus? Time to pull my head out of the sand. So thankful for this video and the courage it took to make.

[@amberdawn8128]

I can definitely relate! I spend way too much time looking for items I don’t even need! I’ll admit, I use the distraction of shopping to avoid doing other things I should be doing. I need to hold myself accountable.

[@mus1quenonst0p]

i’m glad you mentioned the court decision. i am beside myself with grief for the women who will die or suffer behind this decision, and also what horrors are to come for us. i hadn’t been buying anything lately, mostly framed as a low-buy and not needing anything. i found myself shopping and actually buying things, instead of clicking out like i had been doing. it came right after the decision, and i guess i just hadn’t put it together that this habit is making its presence louder because of the grief and fear i am feeling. thanks!

[@HannahLouisePoston]

[@SJ-dl6uc]

as someone who frequently boycotts things, from movies to food to even colours, you give me life when you emphasize on restraint and self discipline. ps. jtbc, I have very specific politics and morals that acutely affect me on a daily basis. they're almost always boycotts of things affiliated with human rights violations. being able to boycott is a luxury and I never forget this fact.

[@lillyh3447]

I have an intense curiosity about which colors/why you boycotted them. Is it just colors that are "everywhere" that you're tired of seeing?

Following. Very curious about this.

[@MargoSickele]

I've been watching your no-buy series of videos (I have not yet seen most of them) because I have just started a no-buy year. as I listen to you throughout these videos, I find myself in a very similar situation as you were in prior to your no-buy year. It all came to a head when the hanging structure in my closet pulled out of the wall and crashed to the ground. The day before, I had hung up my newest clothes, and apparently the weight was just too much for the structure. As I was cleaning up the mess, decluttering in the process, I was appalled at the number if items that i had never worn and no longer wanted. I have a lovely, large, walk-in closet that has room for a make-up table and a dresser. I sat on the floor, looking around at all of the excess, and cried. I wash ashamed of myself, and the ridiculous acquisition of things that packed this lovely space to the point of bursting. I am learning so much from watching your videos, and digging deep to see what hole I am trying to fill. From the bottom of my heart, I thank you for your openness (and rawness) in sharing your journey.

[@HannahLouisePoston]

thank you for sharing this, Margo! Sending a big hug to you!

[@alicemlovegrove]

I've never seriously attempted a no-buy before, but my current circumstances (job-hunting, living off generous - but not bottomless - severance pay) mean I really should rein it in. I've been spending a lot on art materials, and have zero regrets because I'm using them all and enjoying it immensely, but I have enough for now! It was my birthday a few days ago, and from that I have new eyeshadow, perfume, and some beautiful earrings, so I can't possibly need any of those, either. I'll buy the shampo that I need along with my food shopping. Let's go! Or, let's stop!!

[@veronicaprice]

I haven’t been spending much, so a no-buy isn’t what I need. In the spirit of re-setting my habits I’m declaring July my month to reconnect with friends. My anger at the judgements wrought on us by SCOTUS has made me isolate myself above and beyond what I was doing with Covid. I just texted a friend and asked if she would like to meet tonight to catch up. Thanks for giving me the push to take better care of myself. 💕

[@wiredayan9719]

Same here!! More talking to friends, meditating and better diet for me

[@ThisLittlePiggySays]

What a fantastic habit to re-establish. Wishing you well.

[@bags_books_and_bowwows]

I'm really impressed with how quickly you were able to identify and halt your psychological shopping spiral. I was already considering a no-buy July for my own reasons, so count me in. I definitely hear you on the shopping time that might be spent more intentionally. I think I sometimes fall into the habit of shopping to relax, but it doesn't relax me at all.

[@GillenMeg]

I’ve been rewatching your no buy year recently, and while I think I’m usually pretty good at reigning myself in when needed, I’ve totally been in “shopping mode” as a coping mechanism, too. So I decided I’m also doing No Buy July. We got this! ✨

[@felicitygong2802]

I love the idea of having Joe decide what you review for July, not just for the no-buy aspect! Can't wait to see what he picks :)

[@sallyjordan4869]

Me, too!

[@wildlyamy]

The last few weeks I totally gave in to the urge to shop for comfort and ended up breaking my No-buy. I didn't buy anything I regret, but I regret buying. I am going to get back on my no-buy and move forward. It was definitely a lesson. So comforting to hear I am not alone in that urge to shop with everything going on in the world right now. Thank you for your transparency.

[@sereinwu]

I think I’m going to go along with a July/ low buy

[@sereinwu]

I have been in mindful shopping mode since moving and having to replenish Lilian’s clothes (out grown) and my own needs since postpartum. Browsing sites and scrolling is taking too much time and space in my mind.

[@Leuca.]

How lovely that Joe is so on-board with your endeavors and projects. It's so refreshing to hear you talk about him as a real partner-in-crime, as it were, while still keeping the focus on your channel. I think in this parasocial relationship people can easily forget that your level of prescience when it comes to your own behaviors/potential self-sabotaging habits comes with *practice*, and sometimes with a little bit of help from a supportive partner. I feel like every day you manage to bring something fresh to your channel, and it's delightfully organic from our end despite how meticulously you have curated your own brand.

[@jeanneobbard]

The SCOTUS decision also hit me hard but I just felt so depressed I thought I’ll never want to buy anything again. I do feel like life is going to get worse - the decision signaled this pretty clearly - and that makes me want to save money as some kind of security.

[@NeidaTeresa]

I actually just watched your podcast episode on The Financial Diet and was like wow I need a no-buy! And I couldn't work out how long to do it or how to start so I feel like this is coming at the perfect time! No-Buy July here I come :)

I've been Internet shopping, refreshing the same social media site over and over and commenting on every youtube video (LOL, I know I always comment on yours but like I'm commenting on random stuff I'm not even watching...) CAN'T WAIT TO SEE JOE'S MAKEUP CHOICES.

[@kathrynbythelake9638]

I feel called out. I did go a bit spend happy the past month, I think many of us took the SCOTUS ruling very hard. Today I walked to the beach and it was wonderful. Much better than shopping.

This is so refreshing once again. After your no buy, you slowly became a perfect example of a conscious consumer. I love your channel but came to feel bad about my own habits (even though they are quite similar to yours). I would really like to see a no buy vlog. Not even sure if that format will work, but it would be so educating

[@amandae7896]

This past week has been awful for so many women, and I’m so glad you’re finding a way to healthfully address your negative (though understandable) coping mechanisms. You are an inspiration!

[@RedRvmm]

You actually inspired me in doing my own no buy year. Started at the end of this month, a couple days ago. Really glad to have found you and your content. I realized I have a problem just impulse buying stuff and it's not doing me any favors for sure. Also in light of the overturn and the way things are going, I am absolutely participating in not buying anything Jul 3-5. Thank you for sharing this with us!

[@stephanieeaton449]

As soon as the Despicable Court (your words, and I love them) released their ruling I had completely, overnight, changed my relationship with shopping. I hate the idea of giving my money away so much I've stopped buying ANYTHING non essential, and even very selective about Essentials. I've been cooking from home. Reading books. Canceling subscriptions. I'm reconnecting with free and cheap hobbies. I don't mean to make this comments section political, but I do want to point out that framing no buy as a boycott really put me, mentally, in a much more vigilant, alert, and better space for spending. I don't even crave any items now. I'm hoping everything turns out for the better, and also that this new perspective involving the value of my money will be established going forward.

[@staceymolli1028]

Darling Hannah- As I may have told you before you were my catalyst for change when I found you on KZbin when you first began and I’ve been on a fewer/nicer things way of being since then… As of today for 2022-Down 91% in makeup spending year over year Down 55% percent year over year in overall spend for the first half of 2022!

[@AmberOrtolano]

This came at the perfect time, wow! I’ve been feeling the exact same panic of needing to buy and needing to find what to yearn for next. It’s helped me stay sane during a difficult past few months but I realize it’s just a bandaid, and this recent SCOTUS decision really made it clear that things aren’t just going to magically get better. So I’ll be doing this with you, thank you so much 💞💞💞

[@michmash7888]

Comfort shopping-I’ve been there! If you love reading, try “shopping” the public library-it’s more novel than “shopping” the stuff you already own. And if your library has online services, you might be able to replace the feel of online shopping, in a pinch.

[@JennyWren127]

After watching your interview on The Financial Diet (and being a subscriber for awhile) I've been thinking about a possible no buy. This is the motivation I needed. I'll be joining in the No-Buy July too! Thanks for the inspiration, Hannah!

[@tunmieville9365]

This is so perfect! I just finished my No-Buy-Year-Rule-List for Make-Up and jewelry this evening (I am starting tomorrow) and then your video showed up! I also love that Joe does this for you! Such great support! And exciting as well! I dicovered your chanel, when I needed it the most. Love your perspectiv, way of talking and explaining things! It resonates so much with me ❣️ Add on: I'll join you in your no-buy-july with the futher addition for myself of not browsing any beauty websites and/or apps. Sort of an extreme mesurement to get me in a calm mindset for the rest of the year and not comparing the nice things I own with potential other nice tempting things out there 😊

[@jilljahns8406]

I'm very much looking forward to Joe's makeup picks! Also, last week really threw a lot of us into a tailspin: I appreciate your reminder to lean into things that actually feed us emotionally when we are going through it. Hang in there!

[@PaleLady]

I was literally thinking about this yesterday!! I also have been shopping, planning and obsessing over things I don't even need, to numb my mind from the issues we're facing in the US. I'm taking you up on the offer ☺️ and can't wait to see how the no buy July changes me

[@lhun3952]

I have been listless since last Friday. I’ve been binging Hannah videos, especially when I can’t sleep and had decided on a no buy July. Glad to hear others are doing this! Here’s hoping that we all find ways to motivate and soothe our troubled minds. 🤗

Joe picking the makeup is genious, I’m genuinely looking forwards to those videos now. (More than I normally do.)

[@justilou1]

I can honestly understand why the removal of women’s rights has you seeking relief and escapism. I need to reset my brain too (and also stay away from media to decrease Weltschmertz). I am going to do a no buy year and that will involve avoiding almost every KZbinr that I follow and changing my Instagram and Pinterest headspace also. You shall stay firmly fixed like the North Star you are. (Btw, your hair looks fantastic and I’m really excited to see what Joe picks!!! My husband would faint if he ever noticed the cost of drugstore makeup, let alone high-end.)

I really enjoyed this video, and can honestly say I have been falling deep into my shopping habits bc of all the scary stuff going on in our country. Browsing beautiful clothes and makeup has been a great distraction. I think I will join you on this no buy, but for me, it will mean no online purchases! It's so easy to make the purchase when all you have to do is click the button. Thanks for your inspiration! Love what you do 😍

[@gealachinion]

I definitely need this and will join in! Since Friday, I have filled so many carts without purchasing and came to the brink of some truly impractical purchases. I'm actually happy there's so little notice as it'll be fresh on my mind and spirit tomorrow. Rather than give myself an exception to the no buy (for my birthday in July), I decided to go ahead today and bought myself a small gift. I will have fun whenever that package arrives. Thanks for the grounding check in and call for self care!

[@vcr6854]

This came up as I was browsing for makeup oil cleansers when I’m not wearing much makeup bc it is still a requirement to wear masks in my office and field of work.

[@MaddieKulpa]

Ouch, this hit me right in the gut, I'm in! I've been doing pretty well the last couple months not actually spending much money, but I've definitely been browsing a lot, and your "brain erasing" metaphor really called me out in the most helpful way. Stress has been piling on top of more stress lately, and I've been spacing out with browsing anything and everything in order to cope. I'm adding the mindless KZbin shorts scrolling to my banned list, it's not shopping related at all but I can use my down time in way more productive ways to actually minimize my stress instead of ignoring it!

[@tajahdeloris5251]

I’ve been struggling with over spending recently after struggling and levelling out then going through a rough patch and using shopping like dopamine shots. I have been trying to enforce a no buy but honestly this has inspired me to push myself to sort it out. I’m excited for all us that join and you too of course! 💖

you are so open & honest about something that I think alot of people probably struggle to get past the shame of and admit to themselves. for years I have on and off struggled with these behaviors you are identifying and it can be suuuper embarrassing to admit to myself sometimes. I feel like I get a high from browsing online (trying to see EVERYTHING) while at the same time being extremely frustrated with myself for wasting my time and not doing one of the many things that I know would make me feel better about myself. its exhausting. the self awareness and kindness you give yourself is so helpful to see. super appreciate you as always 💗

[@cecileganel]

Your timing, as always, is immaculate. Im also doing a “reset” no buy the month of July. For several reasons, including but not limited to financial, and the urge to minimize more. My hard no categories are: makeup, homewares, and groceries. (Yep groceries). I’ve been hoarding groceries with the price increases and buying the “loss leaders” now I need to go through them. So it’ll be a pantry challenge month for me. My RONB categories are skincare and personal care. With the usual HLP rules. I can buy one new book if I finish the one im currently reading and the three in my TBR stack. My yes categories are personal care services, and home improvement items. I intend on painting and wallpapering a room in the house. I’ve been thinking about this for weeks. So im glad you’re coming along with me.

yay Cecile!!!

There’s something so satisfying about completing a no buy. I suppose I could make exceptions for my planned purchases and still complete a no buy. I’m going to ponder this today. You have inspired me.

[@leyniea2706]

I'm glad that you can recognize these traits in yourself, and know what to do to reset. I think that's so important. It's helpful that you can articulate this to us. I look forward to updates. 🤗

*just spent the previous hour cruising jumpsuits and linen shirts instead of working*…. 👀 Ohhhh, I very much needed this video. It generated the self-reflection I needed to pull back and work on putting my time and energy elsewhere. These dark times really make me (us all) withdraw and escape to self-soothe. Thank you, Hannah, for your honest self-reflection that, in turn, held up a mirror on my own frame of mind.❤️

[@alison182]

So well put.

[@MsCassi83]

Thank you for this it's a sign for me that you posted this today. I have been depress shopping and I knew it was bad. So I am definitely going to join you! Thank you thank you

[@ambrosiamacdonald9446]

Ever since I started watching you, I have been changing the way I look at my buying, makeup and clothing. Thank you so much loved seeing you on the Financial Diet, your both amazing.

[@katiebrown4931]

Thank you for the positive light you put into KZbin!! It is so refreshing and nourishing to watch.

[@CaReBeAr73109]

This is exactly what I needed!! I’m going to go on this journey with you!! I’ve never done a “no-buy”, so this should be a fun adventure ☺️

[@spoonfulofmakeup3007]

Perfect timing! I'm going to join you for No Buy July! My birthday is in early August and its pretty typical that I receive beauty related gifts or gift cards from friends and family. Spending July contemplating beauty and NOT purchasing will help me prepare to properly celebrate myself when my birthday arrives. We got this!

[@Elizabeth-lz4ge]

I love that your partner is helping you as you choose to make better decisions and building on your progress! How lovely! Keep up the good work, Hannah! I’ve been out of control myself and just started watching you and you are helping myself and so many other people!!!!

[@hayleydangelo5993]

Love this! Perfect timing. I was planning on doing a no-buy for the rest of the year and this is the perfect motivation to go through with it!

[@sondrahannan]

This is so exciting! I love that you are tailoring your no buy to your own specific needs.

[@kathinthegarden]

Hi, Hannah. This is my 1st time on your channel (Kackie sent me) and it couldn't have been more helpful. I , too, have been spending far too much time craving & buying newness. I have been feeling awful about the time I am taking away from other people and projects and efforts. I am definately joining you on your no-buy July path and so appreciate you sharing this journey. I actually need a no-buy year but I think starting out smaller is wiser for me at this time. Maybe I'll work up the momentum to do it! Thank you for your inspiration and thoughtfulness. XOX

[@oneacorn9663]

Thank you! This is the video I didn’t even know I needed right now. I can really relate to your comments around distracting myself from the overwhelming stream of tragic news constantly hitting us right now. A no-buy reset is exactly what I need. Thank you for this and for always have such thoughtful and valuable content. ❤

[@celucero2]

Yay! I can not explain how happy I am to know that Joe will be choosing make up for you to review. :)

[@Criticalbeauty411]

I am so glad that you brought this up! Erasing my brain with shopping is 100% what I’ve been doing this week and it’s wreaking havoc on my savings! Thank you so much for putting this out there I know it will help so many!!

[@rachellopez8357]

Right. Not only is engaging in shopping behaviors bad because we’re ignoring our feelings, but it’s also unhelpful because it takes time away from us being able to do any of the things that actually WILL make us feel better. So good, Hannah.

[@piluj]

Proud of you for recognizing a reset would be a good idea for you! I'm starting my year-long No Buy in July because 2022 has been ridiculous in overspending. Excited to rewatch your no-buy year as I get through my own no-buy.

[@ZiggyKitty]

I’m with you. I need this. My mind was in the same place as I’m sure so much of the country was, and I needed to keep my mind busy with easy excitements. Thank you for the inspiration, I’m doing it!

[@itsorange6879]

bless your little poetic soul Hannah, i love that your poetry slides into your videos somehow lol Good luck with this journey i totally feel you

[@maggiewalsh4067]

I’m impressed with your self-awareness and your introspection, as ever! And I cannot *wait* to see the Joe-tinged reviews

[@IsabellaBoyne]

I am so excited for this! I am also trying to reset my year by making changes for this summer, although it's other lifestyle habits rather than a no buy. I love how thoughtful and reflective you are - it is really inspiring

[@Anxiouscustomer]

Your “no buy” videos have been super inspiring to me! I’ve been trying to be super selective on my purchases and trying to save more money. I even got a budgeting app that I’m super excited about and has helped a lot to track my spending and what I’m spending money on.

[@ktburger659]

“Erasing my brain with shopping is not a long term solution to my misery.” Needed to hear this. Thank you! I have felt myself feeling out of control lately and need to reset too.

[@WinterKnits]

Yes! I am joining you. I will take some time tonight to write down my rules. Thanks for this, I need it.

[@AvilaCranfill]

I think I need to join-in on no buy July! I've been over spending on clothes (mostly) based on events/vacations happening this summer. Even though a lot has been second hand it's more than I would usually buy in a short period of time. Also I'm VERY excited to see what Joe picks for you!

[@ClaraBlush]

good idea! I will join in on this no buy with you. Need to save some money before our trip in August. looking forward to seeing Joe's makeup pics!

[@paigejosephinem]

This is perfect timing as I’ve decided to do my first ever no-buy for July as well. I have been noticing some of the self soothing shopping you talk about in myself since the Supreme Court RvW announcement. Also I’m so excited to see what Joe picks for review 🥰🥰

[@meganmueller]

I love how you explained your no buy month. I noticed similar tendencies in myself, and this inspires me to see my habits in a new light.

[@starbyheart]

I realized that I tried doing a low buy in June and I was somewhat successful so I will be joining you for No Buy July. Things got bad in June and realized I was leaning on shopping to feel happy. For my wallet and mental state, I think I need to. Plus I have books calling me to finish up!

[@pasitheathanatosasmr488]

THE HAIR AND THE MAKEUP ARE SUCH A YESSSSS

[@podpoe]

heck yeah! i also have been feeling that I need a no-buy and wrote out all my rules yesterday. I will be joining you for July and hopefully will continue through the end of the year!
