okay SO. just two weeks ago i was the person who had work hair ties, home hair ties, and car hair ties. i typically buy a pack of 20 hair ties maybe... 3 or 4 times a year. not the WORST (considering my friends' habits) but its definitely not good. i am typically a bit of a germophobe but because of one of your recent videos where you said that you picked a hairtie up off the ground, disinfected it and reused it for over a year. i decided to try and reduce! ive made it a sort of challenge but im super happy to say for an entire week i have not reached into my hairtie drawer to get a new one and i have just kept the same one and washed it every time i've washed my hair. oddly, this has really worked for me! just wanted to share some good news and say that this really only occurred because i saw your recent video! so thank you! i know its small now, but i hope to make larger changes in the future!

"Use it up, wear it out, make it do, or do without. " It's amazing how many resources, especially money, are saved by following this little rhyme. I've also made it a point to train my mind to look at something I'm throwing out and ask myself if I have another use for it. A lot of the time I do but sometimes I just don't.

I find it helpful to research the website or brand if I'm not familiar with it... even something as simple as checking the brand on GoodOnYou or simply Googling "is BLANK sustainable/ethical?". Most legit brands will have an "About Us" or "Our Story" tab on their website. If they're using ethical and sustainable methods of production, chances are good they'll mention that there!

I've found waiting before I buy stuff has been one of my most life-changing habits. You mentioned in a few of your videos that you have an instagram account for things you want - since then I made an album on my phone where if I want to buy something I take a screenshot and store it there, then when I get paid I look at that album and see if I really do still want that thing. Having that distance helps so much with the spur of the moment "I want it right now" feeling and has honestly stopped me buying so many clothes!

calculating cost per wear/use is such a good habit goal. I struggled to buy the expensive full priced baby carrier when my first was born I bought structured one when I was pregnant because I was living with my sister who hada two year old and had got rid of the carrier which was expensive but not ergonomical made kid feel heavier not lighter but I had wore a baby before I knew about ergos all my friends had them I knew it was worth getting and I had got it at a huge once a year half off an item that never goes on sale and by the fallowing year I would already need to have one so I got it super early. but it was hard to justify buying another carrier for only a few weeks or months so I went cheap it was safe of course but it wasn't well fitting it didn't work and my first baby wouldn't let me put her down the second I picked her up she was happy this was at less than a week no trickery no spoiling she just needed to be vertical and cuddleded all day. I ended up getting the other most popular brand one that I knew I could trust and it really wasn't that much money. I was thinking about days and weeks and months and it seemed so short and never considered hours per day. I never considered factoring in that I was wearing it three and four hours a day for 2 to 3 months times 2 kids with the moby wrap $40 instead of $24 and then multiple years for the ergo. $70 on sale normally $120+ used almost daily for three years before having to replace. so maybe 1,000 days. 2 cents an hour the other one the other likely having close to a ten cent per hour I have fewer pairs of shoes than clothes to wear I haven't been tracking accuratly but buying quality shoes you can' get a lot of cost per wear but fashion dress shoes how often can you wear that shoe. creating somewhat of a capsule or a dress code or uniform or color pallet paramats has helped me. everything should mostly go with everything. and my shoe would go with almost everything I owned I like chocoas I feel I can wear them with anything and for years I stuck with black and black and dark grey became my nutruals then I decided since Imoved to an area wear it is really hot in the summer and also since I am not as fearful of light colors now that i have a more saustainable more reliable period products I changed what color of chocoas I get but still try to think what goes witheverything. when I have to get closed toe shoes I get them second hand

HUGE FAVOR: what were those sneakers called that you tested and loved?! You showed it in this video, I remember you saying they're so soft you don't have to wear socks. For the life of me I can't remember what video you talked about it in and I want to order a pair. I'm a nurse so I'm still working right now, and my feet are killing me!! Thank you in advance. Second: Something I started doing was shopping with the "Dollar Method" (Not sure if this is an actual thing, just something I do) for me, each use/wear is $1. Example, there's a super cute dress I want, I think its perfect but its $50. Would I wear it 50 times ($1 each wear). If I can't see myself doing it, I won't buy it!! This has helped me save so much money & encourages me to shop second hand to find something I want/need for a lower cost!

that is very simular to calculating cost per wear. just backwards. the only problem I see with that is fast fashion finding a cheap something for $8 fast fashion and saying oh I woulld wear that 8 times. but maybe not there are so many pop up holiday fashion things that I see and think how many times could a person even wear that how many days of the year can the person wear that holiday thing really some things I can't imagine wearing more than 3 times and that is sad. I like 40 to 50 wears out of a second hand item meaning roughly weekly for a year or 2 years for seasonal. I rearily make it that far with everything but that is the goal.

All birds is the shoe I’m pretty sure. I’m in healthcare too and I just got a pair of their shoes recently. LOVE! They had a discount code “healthcarehero” I hope it still works for you! Saved me my feet and 30$!
