Things I'm Not Buying in 2025 (to live more sustainably) | NO BUY 2025 Challenge

[@JanessaLynnae]

What are you cutting back on in 2025? I'm so curious! 👀

[@wandacarr-jones5537]

I will be using all the products in my house until I run out.I am going to try and curve my mindless spending, no eating out, growing a garden along with fruit treesI am also going to read books I havent read and watch movies I bought 3 years ago and also complete 3 of 4 things I haven't completed and get more into KZbin,

[@TianaEteaki]

Im not eating out this year and no more "random" amazon hauls!

[@agnieszkaadamkiewicz4747]

my books are my friends, I can't even borrow a book, because I can't give it back :D but I'm like - only one book a month :D I think I have enough lipstick and perfume to 2030, I lost some weight, so I need few clothes, but I hope to sell or give away some too large now - I try to think that one new comes in place of one old

[@wandacarr-jones5537]

That gets rid of clutter,saving money on needs vs. wants, just minimizing all together.

[@JanessaLynnae]

@@wandacarr-jones5537 yes and less clutter makes you more creative!

[@iforgoties]

To help me avoid eating out, i think about where i would go, pull up their menu and make the thing i would order... Usually my issue is lack of variety so this helps , and as you said, i make it better at home anyway

[@JanessaLynnae]

@@iforgoties everything is better when it’s homemade 👌🏽

This video was much needed 😭 thank you. I just started canceling subscriptions and I am promising myself to also read the books I have before even thinking about buying new ones 😅 (the 4.99 kindle books have been my downfall since they add up so quickly), wishing you a great 2025!

[@JanessaLynnae]

I’m right there with you! I don’t have to buy a single book 😅 I went hard buying in 2024 (not reading, buying….😂😭)

[@domingo8882]

Totally with you on this. I need to use up stuff before repurchasing.

[@JanessaLynnae]

Yes! We all have that problem, I'm looking around my home like yeah I don't need ANYTHING 😅

[@teresalowe271]

A google spreadsheet would be great! I’m getting back on my low buy lifestyle. No more makeup, skincare or hair care items until I use what I have.

[@JanessaLynnae]

Yessss I’ll have to make a template for ya 🥳

[@davidthescottishvegan]

Another awesome video Janessa and yes eating at home making your own recipes is much cheaper and more sustainable. Good not to be too materialistic because buying too many material things affects our spirituality and is ruining the planet. Love 🥰 the video and love 💕 Janessa & Ava.

[@JanessaLynnae]

@@davidthescottishvegan thanks for watching! 🫶🏽

Mine is eating out. When I get stressed or anxious eating is my comfort. However, I’ve learned when I preplan my meals I’m more disciplined to stay on track 😊

[@MotherEingana]

I like seeing these videos. It's helping me figure out where I can still cut back on. I did upgrade to a new iPhone just before the New Year. But ONLY because I'm going back to school and iOS stopped updating on my iPhone 8 a while ago. I couldn't even download outlook for my student email because I needed at least iOS 17 (iPhone 8 stopped at 16.7.10). But I intend to keep my new one as long as it receives updates. And I think I will still be guilty of having an extra product on hand of my main essentials, too. I tend to buy certain things when they're on sale, or I avoid having to run errands too often. So it saves me more money, time, and resources when it comes to some things. I stopped subscriptions last year, but I did get spotify premium again today since with a student discount it's half the cost and includes Hulu (with ads). I really didn't want to, but the free version of spotify is less usuable than it was years ago. It's been kind of sad not having a smooth listen of music while I drive without having a subscription to something.

[@JanessaLynnae]

Yesss keeping Spotify for workout I cannot be bothered with commercials 😂

[@ghostbuster5263]

1.I intend to find one simplistic perfume that is enough to make me smell clean. I don't want a perfume that projects very heavily because I want to keep my scent to myself. I don't want to be the person that smells 'sooooo gooood' but just a person who maintains good physical hygiene and does their laundry and is well put together. 2.I want my jewellery to be extremely minimal in fact I want to stop wearing jewellery altogether because I always stress about losing them or damaging them. 3.I want to stick to simple outfits with no unnecessary layering involved. Outfits with a very neutral colour palette no bright colours or extreme patterns. And one purse that goes with every outfit. As I grow older I am starting to prioritise practicality over aesthetic

[@JanessaLynnae]

Same, I have my one LV wallet and purse and I take it with me everywhere 🥰

[@RelaxedFunction]

With these new tariffs, that’s a great idea. I think 2025 is gonna be pay everything off year for me.

[@JanessaLynnae]

@@RelaxedFunction 🥳

[@RelaxedFunction]

@@JanessaLynnae thank you so much your videos have motivated me to finally have the courage to be a content creator. Believe it or not I have been contemplating for about three years but no longer 2025 is going to be the year. Again thank you your content has true value!😊

[@JanessaLynnae]

@ amazing! You got this 🥰 happy I could help in some way.

[@KelliBennett]

Love this video! Thank you! Yes a Google spreadsheet sheet to help track expenses or how to make one would be great!

[@JanessaLynnae]

@@KelliBennett thanks girl 🥰 what are you cutting back on?

[@KelliBennett]

@ We already started some of these that you mentioned and are going to continue into 2025. We’ve cut back buy coffee out and eating out. I just bought containers this week to help meal prep.Which I’m doing this weekend! I will make 15 meals for the two of us 🤓 we will see how it turns out! If it’s a hit I will continue. I paid off 4 credit cards, will continue paying off the few I have left! So I like the not buying any products till empty! I’m adding that!

[@ThatsSoSusie]

For the record, I LOVED your nails when you were doing them yourself 💅 Pretty sure I commented on the video when you first showed us❤

[@JanessaLynnae]

@@ThatsSoSusie thank you!! They last so long too! 🥰 excited to do them myself again!

[@JanessaLynnae]

I’m not sure about that, but just ensure it has autofocus

[@TheMsSepi]

[@JanessaLynnae]

@@thesamalexis love my Nespresso! Highly recommend 🥰

[@helpanimals-]

I bought a separate milk frother and have drip coffee machine and a Nespresso. It's amazing, 100% better than anything at a Starbucks

[@JanessaLynnae]

[@wandacarr-jones5537]

What kind of camera was that?

[@TianaEteaki]

Hi There! I have been following you since last year, bought TRM from you and have been stuck in the "studying" phase! My goal this year is to stop f**kin around! LOL! So, Im taking your advice and going to buy a camera and just start unapologetically and authentically start documenting my life. What camera would you recommend for a starter camera (that isnt my phone) that won't break the bank but will help me get started? Thanks! Looking forward to more from you!

[@JanessaLynnae]

I love your energy! 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽 Let’s do it!!

[@alenarohava3009]

I'm sorry, it's the first time I see any of your videos and at first I thought Eva was your partner 😅The "Toys" section got me really confused..
