As the one year anniversary of my no-buy year approaches, I've been thinking about how its effects have played out. In this video, I revisit my three goals for my no-buy year and discuss whether shopping again in 2019 has challenged them.

THANK YOU FOR WATCHING AND BEING WONDERFUL!
Hannah I just found your channel and was particularly interested in your no buy year. I thought you did a tremendous job of explaining how it changed your life and this video of your no buy one year later was so authentic. The PR section did have me thinking that whilst it didn't replicate the shopping cycle addiction you addressed via your no buy, PR for me, kind of influences viewers to buy things they may not necessarily need or are able to afford and therefore is more of a challenge for them than the receiver of the PR. Just my thoughts no criticism intended.
So many good things here, as usual, but the one I put in the notes on my phone: "numbness to the specialness of our own lives." Hannah. HANNAH. So freaking good!!! I am so glad you are sharing your journey with us. Preciousness in all the turns.❤️
Truly, this may be one of your most poignant, positively impactful, wonderfully executed and meaningful videos to date. SO much acquired wisdom to carry you through this journey. Nothing, absolutely NOTHING, can compare to the loving, calm balance settled into the heart when you 'finally get it' about gratitude. Joe. Sadie. Your life. Your work. Your contributions. YOU. Brava, Dear Hannah.
I think our lack of gratitude can sneak up on us. I remember my talking to my Aunt years ago and complaining about my job. She told me I should be grateful for what I have. I disliked my job a lot and resented the comment. I later thought to myself while stewing about it, what do I have to be grateful for? When I really thought about it, I realised how terrible that was. I have a great family, the kind that many people have looked at and said to me, now that's what family is - I wish I had a family like yours. I have a great home, a car to get where I need to. That thought in my head showed the lack of appreciation that I extended to those hugely amazing things, especially my family and the home I had with my family. I thought about why and realised I was taking them for granted. They were a given in the equation of my life. I love them, but I wasn't fully appreciating the value they brought to my life. I think it helps to think about and remind yourself of the things you're grateful for regularly. I used to pray nightly and put that in my prayers. Someone once told me you're not supposed to pray to make requests but to give praise, to thank God. This line of thought is a good reminder to myself to get back to that :)
@@kimberlyallen4620 Thank you, I'm glad it helped you.
Here I am at the last video. I started watching this a few weeks ago intermittently, as I have occasionally heard you make referrals to this life-transforming year and was curious. Then I got ill for a solid week and this playlist of yours kept me company. I found the whole thing fascinating and could see the growth happening for you. As your year started to come to an end, and you felt yourself turn a corner, so did I begin to feel better, sit up straight, and take solid, deep, uninterrupted breaths. Thank you for your company, and the thought-provoking content, which I will be mulling over for weeks and months to come.
As a woman whose middle name is "Ennui", that last bit about being able to create the circumstances in which you could cultivate true gratitude is... Fucking massive. I hope to get there soon. 🖤
this top is literally perfect! I LOVE it on you!
Hannah you are truly a gift to all of us! I can’t express to you how much joy I’ve gotten out of watching your videos. You’re so inspirational. And I can relate to so much of what you have to say. I’m happy to hear you’re in a better place. At the end of the day, we all have to remember to “just keep swimming”. Merry Christmas to you and a happy new year 🎄
So I've decided to do a no buy on most things (not clothes because its not a way I overspend these days), and what is interesting is my wife's commentary on the no buy after overhearing me listen to you for ages and ages (also, as she says, "the swedish lady who is like your poet Hannah"). She's seen me struggle with budgeting and finances and feeling like my brain is not wired in a way to manage money/desire/needs. I kinda expected her to tease me about it, because #youtubemademedoit, but she had such a wonderful perspective about how youtube influencers are next level personal development groups. Which is an idea I want to consider. What if the influence is not just great skin care (hello new retinol cream that is half the price of my current retinoid), but cognitive behavioral tricks. In one episode, you too can learn to blend shimmer shadow and not waste your forties obsessing over buying skincare, but instead relearn french and delve deeper into the art of storytelling. I dig it. (But I am a little scared to lose my favorite self medication).
I'm toying with starting a no buy year for 2020, and I am also sad even THINKING about the idea of giving up my favorite form of self medication! That's a great way to describe it.
Hannah, I have watched almost all of your videos and have especially loved the ones that are introspective and follow your journey through shopping, overspending, budgeting and analyzing your love of beautiful things and your relationship to them. I feel like I have too many thoughts and feelings to describe them here, but I want to say that the few seconds where you touch on gratitude and being able to actually access the feelings to express It, really struck a deep chord with me. I will be thinking about this a lot in the coming days and into 2020. I am so glad that you said these words in this way and planted a seed for me. Countless times this year I have thought that I need to be more grateful for the life and things that I have, and if I could just remember that on a daily basis I would be happier. But it never occurred to me until you said it - how our culture is casual about pulling that out of our back pocket, etc.- that it is easier said than done. It may be more of a way of being - a journey of awareness, a muscle to be exercised.
Loved the video! And I miss you! Been so inactive lately due to stress, felt nice to listen to your soothing voice!
Sometimes in your philosophical videos, I find myself just being completely startled (in a good way) by what and how you are phrasing your thoughts. It feels like I stop in my tracks and must find a seat! even though I'm already seated! This video is one of those, well thought out and so provoking. Need to watch again. !
I think it's the essence of consumerism to keep people wanting things. Other goals become superseded by that craving and trying to satisfy it. I think it's bigger than you, although one's personal psychology is inevitably implicated. It's the tinsel and glitter effect, literally. One gets caught up with wanting glitter on everything: glittery newness, novelty, a buzz that eventually becomes a substitute for true fulfilment. I guess the optimum is to have a healthy balance between worthwhile aspirations, which demands a degree of discontent with the present circumstances, but enough self-fulfilment and joy to be able to live in the here and now.
Wow, I think this might be my favorite video of yours. From minute 30:30 I was just blown away. Congratulations to you and what you've achieved through hard work. I found this so motivating and inspiring and what a great time to hear it. Thank you
Have you thought about writing a essay on your experiences the last 2 years? I feel like their are echo’s of the Joe/Sadie essay in what you’ve gone through. I wonder if they would be interested in a follow up essay. I feel like what you’re talking about is incredibly timely to how a lot of people are feeling with consumerism and healthy shopping habits.
On gratitude, I would really recommend getting a little notebook and trying to write down a few things you’re grateful for each day (or every other day when you remember). You naturally train your brain to look for the positives, and the bonus of writing it down is that you have all these things you’re grateful in one place if you are feeling down. So it’s a great pick me up as well
Happy Holidays, Hannah & family! You have inspired me to do a replacements only no buy next year so I can save money to go to college and take ballet classes :) I appreciate your content dearly.
Came for no buy advice. Stayed for getting my latent existential panic soothed.
I'm excited to see how channel morphs in 2020! I'm sure whatever you decide you'll do it with grace and it'll be fun to watch. You & your channel has made it cool to not blow money on makeup and still love it & beauty related youtube. I appreciate all that you share and love the way in which you share it! Merry Christmas, Hannah!!
I so appreciate your honesty around this topic!!!
I can’t wait to see what next year is going to bring for you. I feel like it’s going to be your year of exploring and finding balance
Love this. Self-awareness, healing the inner child and being mindful is so important in everything we say and do. It gives us the ultimate power instead of letting other things control us. X
I love hearing your reflection Hannah! x
I'm reminded of the principles of mindfulness so often when I hear you talk Hannah and that you have moved from mindless to mindful practices when you shop. I often think you should write a book called The Mindful Consumer about these experiences because I think so many people could relate x
Love the way you explain these things. Exactly my thoughts and feelings. I am trying a no buy 6 months
I just finished y makeup inventory and I am astounded by the sheer number of items I own. I've decided with complete certainty on a strict $30 a month budget for makeup/skincare. I can roll over unused money until I reach a maximum of $100, then any roll-over must go directly into my savings account. I've hemmed and hawwed over doing a no buy, a low buy and a higher budget, but I have decided the buck stops here and now. Also, gifts and gift cards do not count. If I really need a skincare item and its over $30, I must use money from my personal budget(which is $25 per week).
Your comment about gratitude really made me think about the role of gratitude in my own life and I think I've come to the realization that what I've been mistaking for gratitude is actually guilt over having the necessities that other people don't.
I've been contemplating doing a No Buy year, for almost 3 years now. This year I am finally making the jump- and I'm so encouraged by all that you took away from your year, and everything that you learned. Thank you so much for sharing this journey with us and inspiring us all!
Wow. I'm blown away by the thought put into this video. Great job Hannah! All the best for 2020❤
After giving it much thought I decided to start a No Buy year in 2020, and I’ve been rewatching your videos and the experiences of other youtubers to make sure I approach things the right way. Thank you for being such an inspiration! Especially when you state that things might get worse before they get better :)
Another aspect I saw was how reflective you’ve been of the whole process because you have a YT channel. So one thing I’ll do for myself is journal about my No-Buy, do monthly check-ins with myself to evaluate how I’m doing, what’s working and what isn’t, in the hopes of having material at the end of 2020 to track my own evolution through the year. Can’t wait to start and also to see where your own path takes you, thank you for all the wonderful content and I wish you very happy holidays!
Also, if compare it to food: I don't see any videos on RUclips of people decluttering food from the fridge as it should be consumed not thrown or given away.
In my experience, any meaningful change requires that you cannot have your cake and eat it too. You cannot expect to change if your lifestyle hasn’t, and with support too. All good things take time as you build habit on habit.
Your top is amazing. I've not seen one like that before. Would you share where it is from? I am heading in to a no buy year for 2020 because your journey has shown me so much about myself. I'm literally tired from being so stressed and worried about money because of my spending and debt. I want to become a healed person. Thank you for sharing your journey.
Great video! It sounds like you need to write a book about your healing, and about having a collection of beautiful things, breaking the fantasy of your life, and restoring reality of the gifts you have through gratitude. I believe that you can help other people build new habits and ethos to buy back their peace of mind.
The ways in which you have come to know your soul has to have an impact on your writing. No? Win/win?
I relate so much to that I wasn’t addicted to having more products but to the cycle of shopping choosing agonising all that.
Fruitful and joyful-yes. Your videos always have me thinking about habits that I would like to change.
So, I am new to your channel but I really really respect you and I am proud and happy for and of you for creating this amazing change in you. I believe that you WILL be who you are seeking because it is in you. Thank you for sharing and God bless you! ❤
I'm so excited to hear what your new project is going to be for 2020! thinking about setting my own project too! I'm leaning towards a no buy low buy hybrid, maybe switching between them each month, not sure yet
I really appreciate what you said about gratefulness. I’ve got a great life -it’s not perfect and there’s a lot missing from it -but looking at what I’ve done and what I am building for myself with my career, and what I’ve achieved and the kinds of friends I have, I have a lot to be grateful for. But it’s hard to feel grateful when I feel I missing on other things (ie dating or having a family of my own) or when I am feeling dissatisfied with myself; that feeling can be consuming. So I get it’s really hard to feel and be grateful in the truest sense of the word. Doing a no buy or beauty budget isn’t going to fix that for me as I don’t have a shopping addiction but I really like the insight you have in your situation, and I really have watched you grow so much which has been great to see. Definitely going to try to practice gratefulness in my life more.
I feel gratitude is like a muscle that needs to be worked. Writing a gratitude journal has helped me focus on my thankfulness for even the simplest things and in doing so, gratitude becomes more of a natural daily process. As with anything, the more focus we give things, the more they become apart of us.
I am grateful for this channel, and for your willingness to share the spiritual/mental/habitual struggles of your shopping life. Merry Christmas. 🥰
you have really helped me take a look at my own relationship to shopping. i'm entering a new phase in my life. i think i found you at the right time to help enhance that. i love the vibe of your videos
Where is your shirt from? 🤩
Thank you for such an honest way of speaking to the issue of gratitude. It’s not something you just pull out of your pocket. Is is something to work toward embracing daily. It’s not something widely taught in our culture. It does take practice!
I did not watch the whole video yet, so I don't know if you are going to touch on this later on not. I'm currently at the 10 min mark where you are talking about how the shopping experience now is so different from the obsessive behaviour your were displaying in past years and I thought back to the video were you talked about buying that sweater from New Zealand and obsessively (at least it seemed that way to me) you checked every boutique you could find in the middle of the night. I am not trying to criticise here, simply to try to put in a "new perspective" (it's not new if you've already thought about it this way) the act of buying that sweater. Was that experience different from how you used to shop in the past? Again, I'm not trying to criticise, I'm genuinely interested. Regardless, your channel is an inspiration for me and I've watched your "how my no buy year changed my life" every day for a week in a row. I've already started a budget in August :) Happy holidays!
HLP talked about how it was. How she was in high spirits from the holiday, decided she wanted the thing and then had to spend time finding it and buying it. Last year, during her no buy year, she would talk about how she would agonize about a thing for days or weeks or months. I don't see this as obsessive. She decided she wanted it really fast, she was just determined to buy it. It's hard to describe and I get your point. For some reason I can feel the difference in how she talks about it, but I can't explain it. Its a queasy pit of the stomach versus pleased that you accomplished a task feeling. Or that's my interpretation :-)
The thing is the sweater was sold out at so many places and she did have it on her Christmas wishlist and when she realized that none of her family was going to be able to get it for her and realized that she really wanted it she tracked it down herself. It probably was a little obsessive (but maybe not for Hannah. She'll have to speak on it herself), but also if it is the one nicer beautiful thing to her why shouldn't she buy it as long as it is in her budget?
Just a quick thanks for your NBY content last year. Inspired a RONBY for me in 2019 which was been 100% successful and an incredible overview of consumerism. I’ve learned so much!
Yes ! Being grateful is life changing ... for me it got better when I did project pan Two years ago and it has been enhanced by completing my no buy year for sure ! ❤️
Omg I constantly feel like I’m gorging/ so full when I’m shopping and I feel icky
I truly enjoyed this video and as someone who's also trying to modify my relationship with shopping, I have to say this and many of your other videos have been a constant reminder of what I want to do and how I want to feel. Thank you for being open and sharing your struggles and being good at verbalizing them. 👍👏
This was very nice to watch. I did my own version of the no buy year. But I relate a lot to what you're saying and the change in habits and all that.
Thanks for sharing as always ❤️
I want you to know that your projects have really helped me love the stuff I already own. I've had a rough year in regards to relationship issues and career changes, and now I find myself valuing the things I already have and the people I keep in my life so much more. I also dont seek things out to buy anymore (or as often.) And helping me looking at the things in my own life that need to be changed. Thank you for being a constant role model and inspiration in my life.
Also I'm excited to see what's in store for next year. I'm here for it
Also... weirdly enough I've replaced shopping with music in a way. I'm just starting to realize that
So Hannah.. I finally bit the bullet, and i'm doing a no-buy (replacements only) in 2020. I'm so anxious, but also excited to change. I have told my partner and my family, and i am always referencing this community, and thank you so much; I am pretty sure that without your channel I would not have dared to change, and wouldn't have known how to do it.
Your channel is my absolute favorite, and this community of kindred spirits. Have a great christmas, and thank you for being you
My Prediction: HANNAHGEDDON 2021: HLP unravels the beauty industry from the inside! XD
Challenging and convicting. Thank you. Also, as a lover of art and beauty, I would love to know how you locate your clothing pieces. In a world of fast fashion, I really want to walk away from that and have the pieces that are amazing on me and speak to my style.
I can relate to this SO much. You put it into words so well, you described exactly how I used to shop and how I find myself defaulting to at times as well. So interesting.
These are my favourite videos Hannah. Even tho I am very fortunate to never have been in debt (except for my mortgage), I still want to change my compulsive shopping behaviour. It’s like a sedative to me. I def do it for emotional reasons.Your videos are really helpful. Thanks.
I started a 12 month no-buy after Black Friday, this year. I will only purchase replacement products.
I can’t stop looking at your top! Where is it from?
You've inspired me to try the whole budget thing in 2020!
I started watching your videos as you were 1/2 way through your no buy year...i admit...I didn’t watch many of your low buy year...as I know...you really like beauty products....homewares are not as important to you...
But, it was hard to watch...
I tried not to buy things in 2019, for 3 mos...I don’t know how you did it in 2018???
There were items I told myself not to buy...and I did it anyway...I have a problem with shopping in general...clothes, makeup, planners, notepads, earrings (I don’t buy expensive things, I’m cheap)...
I’m doing it again in 2020....I’m going to pick 3 things & do it for one month...
I also am going to set goals to do things & set routines & i am doing a point system...if I get so many points, I will reward myself with certain things that I need/want...so I have to get things done & get a reward...
Kind of working & getting paid with items that I want/need...
To some it might be weird...but, it might help with my spending & also help with getting healthy, setting up routines, & getting rid of stuff in general...One of the things I’m striving for in 2020...
So grateful for this video and for your channel. I hope you continue to find creative no buy/low buy challenges throughout the years, as you are setting foundations for me (and I'm sure many others) to grow upon! 💛
That shirt looks so good on you!!!
Love your top!
I can relate to so many things you say! I am thinking about doing a low buy, as I know, I could not succeed at a no buy. I hope it will have similar effects or do you think only a no-buy can achieve those things? I have phases where i dont buy anything, but when i need something and i start looking, the cycle you describe, begins and leads to other beautiful things I discover and then want as well. :( idk what to do. maybe start with a no buy month?
I truly admire your ability to express your thoughts and feelings in a way that resonates so much with other people's experiences. My goal is to be as inspiring to others as you.
What really changed my shopping perspective was Ipsy plus. I just ended up with too much stuff I don't use. I stopped my subscription in October. I literally was burned out on random stuff. I gave myself a limit and I just stuck to that. I did great until black Friday... Oh boy. I'm doing my slow buy.
In 2020 I'm going to try buying myself a gift card and that's my budget for the month. For me to just get what I want.
Tracy Frederick I got the Ipsy Glam Bag as a Christmas gift last year and I feel the same way! It’s just too many things and while some stuff is fun to try, it’s too many things that I haven’t selected for myself. I found myself changing my preferences to lean more towards skincare by the end of the year just so I would receive samples that could be used up.
These videos of yours are the ones I appreciate most. I am looking forward to your next project. Also, what advice do you have for those who have fallen of the wagon of their no buy?
I have seriously considered a no-buy challenge. It would be interesting to see how far I could take the project, especially when I spend so much time on RUclips. TFS!
My favorite content!
loving that top! edit to add: yes i know that was a frivolous comment to a very thoughtful that i appreciated.
I feel like when you started talking about the cycle of shopping at 22 something minutes you could have been describing me. 😭😱 Im still changing my behaviour, leaving shopping carts full of stuff without buying them left and right here... postponing för 24 or 72 hrs, thr delayed gratification really challenges that behaviour, but Im still browsing like crazy. just learning to abandon ship much sooner.
Great video, Hannah! Thank you for outting such perspective to things, and making us think of therapy and the ways each one of us needs to heal themselves. Enjoy the holidays!
For me one of the most impactful videos I’ve watched this year.
Hannah you speak to my soul ❤️
Oooh I've been waiting for a video like this. Am looking for a project for me to do in 2020... but I think I will choose a health/food related project.
Marie Kondo writes about having a personal Hall of Fame of books. This video is in my personal Hall of Fame of videos. I loved it so much. Keep inspiring, Hannah. Your work in this world is changing lives, mine included.
I find that time spend on accumulating things equals time spend on rehab. So that's that.
Can you please do more fashion videos? This is yet another top that it's so GOOD! 👌👌🏿👌🏽
I love these introspective videos. I too, am more about the shopping than anything else. It’s something about the Hunt. I am doing a No Buy in 2020 to hopefully break that way of thinking.
thank you great video :)
Where is your beautiful top from?
What a beautiful message on gratitude 💜
I thank you Hannah that you invited us into your journey. I think that first year of No Buy was a decision and something that was very hard for you to do but you had us to help keep you accountable. If you had not had us, would you have been as reflective and gone as deep as you did? We love that you included us and we love you. It is hard when you are young to find your place between fantasy and reality. We all have those dreams of what we want to do when we "grow up". Your's was writing and creating "beautiful things" We all have the fantasy of how it will be when we finish college or get that job. We will be able to do this or that or buy this or that. We will be married and have someone who loves us, a house, a family of our own. We may want fame or having fulfillment in what we choose to do. But there are a lot of thirty year old women who reach about thirty three that it doesn't go the way we planned. No husband, we aren't doing the work we wanted to do, we do not have the financial security we thought we would. Many become disenchanted and feel like failures. When I reached that age and was not married, nor was I really independent like I wanted to be, it was really hard. The older you get and it still doesn't happen, you have to do a lot of self reflection. One thing I can say is that appreciating what you do have and not looking for something to happen in the future and being dissatisfied and frustrated with life is not a way to be. People often fill life with empty pleasures and things like shopping and spending money. You have realized these things early. You have worked out your relationship with shopping and with things. It is a struggle every day and many days we may fail, but one thing, we have to get right back up on that bike and keep going. Keep pursuing peace and satisfaction and knowing our priorities. Family and friends are the most important because they go with us through life. Things and possessions do not. Cherish each moment of life while you are young and enjoy the journey.
Happy Holidays Hannah et al!
Hi, Hannah, your reflection about gratitude reminds me strongly of Kurzgesagt - In a Nutshell's video called An Antidote to dissatisfaction. I highly recommend that channel.
I love his channel! And that video in particular was great.
I need that top! Love you Hannah. I go to bed with your soothing voice in my ears. Lol.
I love hearing about your journey!
Thank you for your videos Hannah
23 days into my replacement only low buy. Holding strong..but.. Did have to get more mossimo balls for fish tank because they had half as many as needed for nitrate control. I didn't make rules for unexpected needs.
What an inciteful video! Great content!
Your musings are so intelligent and thought provoking I love to listen to you and thank you for sharing your wisdom with us. I think one of the things that keeps us constantly striving is that like you said we forget to be grateful and we are unaware sometimes that we are being told to always seek out the next thing. Somebody said comparison is the thief of joy and its so true. I have been doing this lately with makeup and its allowed me to be smart about my purchases and give myself a pep talk. I now need to do that in other areas like my spending in general but its grappling with mindsets, its being willing to be uncomfortable with myself or ourselves so we can grow. And our culture tells us to numb those feelings and to numb the intelligence that goes into not allowing ourselves to live out of a life full of instant gratification. It's hard work.
Thank you! Merry Christmas from Sweden🎄🎄🎄
Your makeup is beautiful.
P R E A C H 👐👐👐
❤️❤️❤️
Hannah I congratulate you because you made a progress finantialy, but if you are receiving PR and constantly decluterring and giving tour used products to your cousin, your mom, your friend, you are still in a cycle of shop adiction, just you are lying to yourself.
You can’t live hand to mouth and have a $200 budget for beauty. That’s not how it works.
She means paycheck to paycheck with little savings, not nothing to spare.
I think there is a way to come across less aggressive in your comment, and I did not interpret her saying it like that at all. She is just saying that she was living pay check to pay check, it's not that deep.
Most of America is living paycheck to paycheck with little to no savings because of the economy, stagnant wages, and lack of affordable healthcare. You still deserve to get yourself something nice every now and then as long as your bills are covered. Life is already miserable and hard enough.
If she can pay her bills/afford food, afford to run her business, put money into savings, & stay out of debt EVEN WHILE spending $200 on beauty/homewares... Why shouldn't she?
$2400/year is a lot of money. "You still deserve to get yourself something nice every now and then - Life is hard enough" - sounds like the exact rhetoric at the core of empty consumerism, how people get into huge debt and so on.
Hannah, you are not living hand to mouth. Please stop saying you are.
What do you know that she doesn't? Do you mean she has money to budget? She could be in debt.
Christina living hand to mouth means you have hardly enough for food to survive. The fact that Hannah can spend money on luxuries such as skincare and make up demonstrates that she isn’t living hand to mouth.
I'm excited to see how channel morphs in 2020! I'm sure whatever you decide you'll do it with grace and it'll be fun to watch. You & your channel has made it cool to not blow money on makeup and still love it & beauty related youtube. I appreciate all that you share and love the way in which you share it! Merry Christmas, Hannah!!
