[@NayanaPremnath]

[@fazalmohammed7934]

Hi Nayan I am Zanaand iam now 60yrs in trichy whatever I did in my life from my teenage you are doing the same but I am very proud of you to do these things in 2o24 today itself I saw your post and keep on going my dear

[@NayanaPremnath]

Thank you so so much Zanaand. It means a lot to hear such kind words from someone who’s lived their life similar to how I live it today☺️☺️😍😍

[@sri778]

Grateful to the people like u.... who has inspired me in my Minimalism journey! I've stopped buying most of the things that u told in the video..Keep inspiring😊

[@NayanaPremnath]

I’m so happy to hear that Sri.. keep going on your minimalism journey! :)

[@shilpasrinath5411]

Totally agree... menstrual cups are a revolutionary product...it was life changing. Though I took a few day to adjust to it, it was totally worth it. I have been using the same epilator for 25 years now works like a charm. I have saved tons of money on waxing.

[@NayanaPremnath]

Exactly.. waxing can cost you so so so much over time and you waste so much of that plasticy cloth also. Epilators are a one time purchase that can be used for such a long time.

[@payalgoyal9173]

Can you tell name or send the link of epilator

[@divyagupta1784]

Shoewear Storage cases Perfumes Nail paints Potato masher ...😅 Non stick pan Bags Namkeen bhujia Fancy stationary

[@deepakonduru]

Love your simplicity. Can see your love for nature and respect for everything around. Lots of love 💐keep going girl 💐💐💐

[@yutikakaslay9062]

I could relate to almost all of the items u mentioned. I had collected few glass bottles to try crafts on them but dint find the time. Only thing i am doing is not paying someone to wash my scooter daily. That way i am savjng water daily and 1200 rupees per year. I do dust it weekly myself. People eye me like "what she cant afford to pay that ?( lost my job in 2020) but then why waste money on something which i have used only 3 times in the last 2 years everyhting i need is within 5 min salk for me since i dont have to travel 1 hr to any office.? N whats the issue with any women trying to wipe her own scooter? If i can ride it why not clean it myself. Who decided its a guy thing ? Hehe..

[@sanskrutihebalkar6839]

Hi Nayana, firstly, i haven't come across an eco-youtuber/ content- creator as genuine and relatable as you. Your content is easy to understand which makes it all the more easier to incorporate low waste tips and tricks in the routine. I look up to you. I also had a question - you said you'd only give in to buying from fast- fashion brands if you see any monumental change and clarity regarding their method of production or such. Have you come across any such fast- fashion brand yet? And what are your views on faux leather?

[@NayanaPremnath]

Sanskruti, that is one of the sweetest things I’ve heard today. 🥰 And regarding your question, no, none of the popular fast fashion brands have really shown any real progress towards sustainability other than a lot of greenwashing. I’m not a fan of faux leather and leather. One is harmful to the environment and the other is harmful to an animal.

[@debadrita23]

While watching your videos I just realized a lot of the items from ur list I have stopped buying also... Additionally sheet mask face pack scrub cleaning wipes... I have made bio enzyme with all the citrus peels from last winter... Have been using it for floor cleaner.... Btw.... A video suggestion - how to not waste water and use it consciously

[@growwithdeepali]

Hi Nayana, this was a gem video. I have stopped using ketchups/ mayonnaise in my kitchen. We have also switched to making bread at home instead of buying one.

[@NayanaPremnath]

Thank you so much Deepali! So glad to hear about the sustainable changes you’re making 😍🥰

[@tweshagetsbored8465]

Love this! I stopped buying sanitary pads too! Menstrual cup for the win ❤️

[@NayanaPremnath]

Yuuuuuuussss… Menstrual cup for life!!!!

[@Pas-t8z]

I just started this two months ago. But I still need to go and learn more about minimalism. Thanks

[@scienceislove2014]

Try retinol serum.. your skin will love it.. but yeah.. stupid good vibes products are a big no no..

[@SarahSafar-me2zh]

Love this! Thank you for this video.

[@NayanaPremnath]

You’re very much welcome dear!😘😘😘

[@ramadeviparamkusham5224]

Ohhh, so you bought iphone second, i thinking myself too. I mean iphone is no joke when comes to buying a new one common let's be honest, that's so pricey. So how did you bought an secondhand iphone, i can't remember a website where iphones or any phones are way cheaper, iphone are literally at the range from 15k to 30k or so, can't remember that website though. But nonetheless, how did you purchase one ?

[@kavya1102]

Please do a what’s in my bag video!❤️

[@NayanaPremnath]

Haha.. will definitely do it super soon! 😬 Thanks for the suggestion.

[@vanaparthiveeravikram8588]

The best thing among all is to stop buying is sanitary napkins for women and diapers for kids. Instead use menstrual cup and washable diaper. My wife is very eco conscious and now I am too

[@NayanaPremnath]

You got that right Vikram! So glad to hear that🤗🤗🤗

[@rashmicr5410]

Madam after seeing this video I realized that even I am a minimalist

[@NayanaPremnath]

Wow. That’s amazing Rashmi! So proud of you🙂🤗

[@ashwini3696]

Hi nayana I'm almost same what things u r not using. I'm not using or buying since from 4 to 5yrs....

[@NayanaPremnath]

[@shamsundar1997]

You're Welcome Nayana Mam😊

[@asifosman]

I had over a dozen suits. Gave away most of them. Haven't bought a new one in over 7 years.

[@Bhoomika-Gowda]

Very informative I’ll appreciate ur effort

[@NayanaPremnath]

Thank you so much.🥰

[@rinkyrawat3784]

U e great ..i just wish someone from north india also do vlog on these thing in hindi so that my parents generation can watch and get aware about sustainaibility bt anyways their generation is not fast forward bt slow n so indirectly they r sustainlble

[@NayanaPremnath]

yes,, our parent’s generation was generally more sustainable back in their days than we are today. I’m sure they’ll understand when you try and talk to them about this, telling them that we are going back to their old times practices.

[@Sumi_sheku193]

Me too i love minimalist love to your visuals

[@NayanaPremnath]

Thank you so much

[@asifosman]

Welcome to minimalism. Great video👌

[@ad_rawshow5699]

Nailpaint and mobile pop I find verrrryyyyy useful. :)

[@NayanaPremnath]

How is nail paint useful? It’s just aesthetic and even has been known to cause damage to one’s nails, while also being harmful to the environment. :( And mobile pop socket, it’s highly unnecessary I feel, as it doesn’t do any more work than our hands can already do.

[@ad_rawshow5699]

Pop socket helps while watching utube(ur videos) while lying in the bed(no need to hold phone in air). Thats how I find it useful. Just like nailpaints, in today s time, there are n no. Of things which is causing harm(almost evrything), (just like lipstick make u feel more presentable , lively and add color to life) , nailpaint is the same. :)

[@navyab]

Hey Nayana, I really appreciate your list of things that you will never buy. Most of our list coincide except for a few: 1. I use a razor (the old style ones) instead of an epillator. 2. I don't mind first hand clothes provided that they are of a very good quality as I wear them for years! Also, I stick to only cotton clothes over the synthetic ones. 3. I do have a constant need to buy pens and notebooks as it as an essential item for me as a student. 4. I still stick to diary (glass bottles that are exchanged like in the olden days over plastic packets) as the vegan ones are expensive plus I don't have the necessary tools to make them myself. 5. Still a fan of junk jewelry, however, I limit my purchases. I only buy piece that I can style in more than 3 ways. 6. I will never buy glitter and party poppers as they are just plastic. 7. I've been experimenting around with different toothpastes apart from the conventional ones. Hence I might never buy those conventional plastic tube ones ever again. 8. I was obsessed with stickers but now that I know that they're just plastic, I give them a miss. 9. Wouldn't buy biscuits and chocolates that come packaged in plastic. 10. And, wouldn't buy anything tetra pack inspite of it being recyclable as it is a lot of work to clean them and send them for recycling. (It's almost 3 years since I've had anything from a tetra pack)

[@likithajana8183]

What are the vegan alternatives for diary products mam

[@NayanaPremnath]

So stay tuned Likitha, I’ll soon have a video showing a lot of vegan alternatives. Hopefully that should help you out ☺️

[@kajalgurnule673]

Hiii mam, I am not buying any conditioners, body wash, serums and trying to add more things in this list

[@NayanaPremnath]

That’s great.. keep it up gal! 🥳

[@mrsameer2877]

We share so many simila

[@NayanaPremnath]

I’m glad to hear that :)

[@rohanvyas9887]

bhagwan aap k jaisai wife sabko de... 😅😊

[@NayanaPremnath]

☺️☺️☺️

[@divyagupta1784]

But fake plant is in your background 😅😅😅

[@NayanaPremnath]

So? Should I throw away a plant I bought 6 years ago?

[@deeksharajput126]

I think in a journey to be minimlist to reduce unnecessary item again but if we already have and in a good condition then we should keep it with ourselves😊😊😊😊😊😊

[@NayanaPremnath]

@deeksharajput126 Exactlyyyy…. Throwing away something we already have which is in a good condition is counter productive :)

[@sanjanapremnath790]

I also bought myself those Earth Rhythm makeup removal pads. Works incredibly even with water ✌️

[@NayanaPremnath]

They’re a beaut without any doubt 😍😬

[@scienceislove2014]

Try retinol serum.. your skin will love it.. but yeah.. stupid good vibes products are a big no no..
