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

[@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 😊

[@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.

[@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.

[@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 😻

[@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!

[@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!!!

[@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]

😂

[@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]

♥️♥️♥️♥️

[@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!!

[@sayani6731]

wow love this video. all the trendy videos on the KZbin and your videos gives me such good vibes. 💓

[@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 ❤️

[@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!

[@DailyUpdates868]

I think it's the most must have videos cause all the youtubers or influencers just talk about what to buy but no one actually guide to what not to. Don't waste your hard earned money on unnecessary things.just looking at others buying those we got tempted to have it inspite of thinking whether it's really our need or no. I would really feel grateful to receive the sony camera you are talking about as I really want to create my channel. I had also enrolled myself to hustle post academy to youtube course as well bought a planner in 2020 ,but didn't worked on it because of my pregnancy and later on as of my first priority my baby. Now she is one n half yr i m thinking to resume to my idea of creating content. Thank you for all the amazing content.

[@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 😍

[@NikitaSJain]

Loved this video! I bought a DSLR because everyone was buying it but never used it because it's heavy, and finally sold it off 🤦🏼‍♀️ Totally agree with all you said - everything doesn't suit everyone and whatever looks attractive doesn't necessarily work for us as an individual.

[@hibaazeem1464]

One of the very few content creators i can relate to. Thank you for being so transparent. You have our trust ❤️

[@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.

[@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.

[@mithilasarma3423]

The skincare point is very relevant. We as consumers have tendency to buy a lot of skincare products due to social media influence which results in extra products lying in cupboard and bad skin. It's best to stick on to dermat recommended products. In previous years I too had made dumb purchases like mama earth onion range which did nothing for my hair, face shop face washes which broke out my skin terribly. After analysis I started using minimal and dermat recommended ones coz my skin is sensitive. And to add luxurious and expensive products doesn't mean great ones for your skin even the inexpensive medical store ones can really create wonders.

[@madhurimahalder8714]

Love the content, can relate to all the points

[@manorama12]

A very enjoyable video.... 👍👍👍

[@pranj2230]

Amazing video... I can co relate to some of them.

[@ArchanaRajasekar]

So true... I'm no way a minimalist... But after getting to know the ideas I've made conscious decisions when buying each product.. Add to wish list and wait for few weeks.. That really helps to get any impulse purchases.. Also I have taken up buying products that last me a lifetime, rather than going with offers. Also with skin care always I feel what I select with respect to my skin works better than what is suggested by the sales person..

[@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.

[@merrymaria1]

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

[@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.

[@Tanvi_Soni]

Thank you for sharing Such practical issues faced by you.. gonna be helpful to many of us.. such topics and also minimalism topics helps us..

[@AmMspink85]

I can totally understand on the IPO and gym membership. Have done it and regret. The give away is a generous gesture and having watched you for long you are a great person. God bless you.

[@shreeparna777]

Hey! Thanks for this video....seeing your channel first time and quite impressed that you are talking on such important topics that we youngsters are often end up losing money...

[@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.

[@nehaagarwal1287]

Hi Saloni. Very nice video. Have been watching your videos for quite sometime now and love your work 😘. Also, the giveaway of that camera is a really good idea😊.

[@venieaswar2845]

yeah you are right saloni its important to know ourself this line in your video gave me a deeper insight

[@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

[@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! )

[@hirayounus2479]

Wow Thankyou for sharing this .I can relate buying heels,last i bought were worn for 4 hours and sitting in my cupboard for 5 yrs now 😅

[@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. 😊❤️

[@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.

[@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 💕

[@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

[@ShivangiShrivastava]

Which light are you using in this video? Looks so perfect and clean. Please let me know which equipments have worked best for you

[@khushipriya4058]

Di your content is getting better and better by each passing day ❤️

[@Lovleen.kakkar]

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

[@goldenwalker016]

Very honest video n inspiring

[@hibiscuspalm9254]

I once took up a gym membership where I had to travel 1hr15 mins for. As much as I enjoyed the exercise, the travel plus gym time meant I was spending 3 hours each time. It was painful and I had to force myself to complete it and missed a ton of sessions. Now I only look at the location first.

[@maddieric]

As a marketer and someone who also heavily invests in online courses for upskilling. Always purchase a low ticket front end product of any course creator first. It will help you navigate and understand if their coaching style is good and the content itself. If they do not have any low ticket products, see the testimonials of the results people have got after joining the course and if possible try to contact people who have actually taken the course. Sit on the decision for a while until it feels right for you. I literally stalk the person on every platform, the results they have got for their clients and reviews.And touch wood it’s been working 😂 I literally followed a person for over a year to join their high ticket coaching program

[@being.authentic]

I love that camera too. I love capturing moments and sharing it across. Right now I shoot my videos from my android phone. Which is of low quality.

[@zakiakadri2119]

Your topics are so different from others keep up your good work

[@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🥲.

[@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

[@sneharmallya4046]

such a fun and honest video..

[@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.

[@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 😌😍😍

[@theodoredsouza]

I love that giveaway idea!

[@aishwaryagupta7372]

I can so relate to you here on every point that u have discussed. Loved the video and the concept. I also get influenced very easily,so have created a way out, i add everything in the cart and then sleep on it, if i really really want i can get it, else in most cases, i understand that I was just being impulsive

[@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 :) 💞💖

[@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 🔥

[@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 💕

[@reetusrainbowworld]

Once again amazing content and to the point, very relatable 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@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!🥰

[@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

[@deepagbh]

How wonderful this video is!! It reminded me all of my dumbest purchases.. 😅😅😅 Heals, Jewellaries and some of the clothing items are bought purely from FOMO.

[@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!!! 😀😀

[@joannevellara436]

Can totally relate to what your saying Saloni, so guilty of spending money on heels and skincare and not getting proper use out of it. One product I have still not bought but was contemplating on buying is a fitness band. Giving away a camera to an upcoming vlogger is a very generous gesture and I am planning to start vlogging after much thought and I will be very happy if I am that lucky one to receive your camera.

[@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

[@SriGeethanjali]

Good video. God bless you

[@SnigdhaParida]

I am also the same about jewellery and I regret one of my purchases from Swarosky as well. Never wore it after that one special occation, I even hate the picture of it from that day and I don't even know where it is right now. I do wear my fitbit, but I totally get that feeling of 'something on me'!! With subscription thankfully, I have been smart enough to try things monthly first before going ahead with a yearly purchase. Phew!

[@droheerahman9366]

Hi saloni! I have been watching your video since you were working in an office. I love your content. I use a lot of your content in my personal life especially finance related. I wanna request one thing... In your one video you talk about your financial investments. Can you please explain more about the USA stock market investment? Thanks!

[@anushka___0809]

Loved it.. we all have regrets for our expensive/useless purchases😭

Wow lady !!!! That's awesomely honest. If a word called awesomely exists 😃😃

♥️♥️♥️

[@deepti_pruthvi]

Totally relatable.. Hi Saloni, can you plz make a video on how you edit your videos, tools, etc.. I love the way your videos are presented.

[@ranjanakulkarni4114]

This s the first video’s of urs I’m watching n really happy that I watched it. I can totally relate wit u r saying n most of my Instagram purchases, specially courses are flop . 😅

[@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]

😅😅

[@SimplyKaushiki]

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

[@Bhagyashreesharmaofficial]

Loved this video.... your videos always help me make better choices

[@bewithmebyaditi9604]

Hai Saloni am glad to see u again and it gives motivated me a lot tnx for yr suggessions

[@iamjabeen615]

Totally relate to u saloni with the marketing of any product we tend to purchase and land up with regret.. I purchased heels and handbags which are more expensive..

[@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😊

[@manishaverma7806]

I speak so fluent effortless fast English.. ..i just love it and Frankly watch your vlogs because of this too....thank you ❤️❤️❤️

[@manishaverma7806]

I meant * you.. sorry for typing mistake

[@Akash-jj8pi]

Superb video

[@divneetkaurbanga]

Yes please do giveaway of the camera. I am also planning to buy a vlogging camera because I am an avid traveller and would love to make vlogs for my travels 🙂 Also thanks for sharing these investment mistakes. This is really helpful for everyone. One suggestion though, you could have also shown the pieces you bought like the jewellery and heels ❤️

[@saiprarthana8121]

Nice video, Saloni Any tips on how to know whether an online course is really worth the money. As there are too many courses available these days, how to know which one is good?

[@superposition]

Let's get started

[@snehaavinash9649]

Can you please tell me which camera u use and the lightings

[@Megh6675]

It actually is surprising to know that u too r a prey of fomo... Someone who seems to balanced n thoughtful n mindful n inspiring in life decisions could also experience such things... 😃 To tell u honestly... I felt proud of myself that i am not at all a fomo person... I give a lot of thought before purchasing anything... N if i happen to purchase something that lies unused... I ensure to use it for some time before discarding it... Temptations are inevitable... But knowing oneself, one's liking, one's temperament well before a blind purchase is really very important... If in doubt about a purchase... Better not venture into it than regretting it later... When i started morning walks... I didnt buy expensive shoes at first... I walked for 3-4 months regularly n then rewarded myself with a good pair of walking shoes, as i didnt want the shoes to sit in d shelf unused.

[@PriyankaYadav-qp9bf]

Saloni, I love your transparency.

[@rosemurgesh]

OMG! I can relate to so many things you've mentioned, I'm feeling guilty now 😂

So much related to the video very good 👍

[@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 ❤❤

[@lipisharma8]

That's such a relatable video and that gym membership even I took which didn't work out...🙈 I personally feel I have made a lot of purchases with courses and community memberships and they were great but I just couldn't manage things well till last year & I am not a pro this year too... but this year I am cautiously picking up every purchase & I am doing it only when I know this investment is really going to be something I want to be invested in with my heart and with my schedule too... 😇

[@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 ❤

[@shikhakumari0818]

This was so relatable my worst purchase was 1. Makeup products which I am surely not into I realized I am more of a natural beauty side rather than following steps to look beautiful 2. Clothes which are not comfortable but look beautiful I regret this but its OK to experiment and know yourself❤ 3. Kitchen stuffs and home decors which I rarely used to cook and decorate Would love to participate starting a KZbin channel on lifestyle blogs I would be grateful to win this camera as it would help a lot :)

[@sona123_69]

[@apoorvasreekantaswamykeept1270]

Such an amazing video and u made me realise to chose things wisely 😊 But on influencers people who recommend the products one thing i understand that they are promoting because 1. Product suitable for them 2. also that would be source of income. But as a viewers v need to be more cautious and make a right decision.

[@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!!!

[@LifeAndLeisure03]

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