    At the end of the day, I made this video for fun, and you don’t have to listen to anything I said! It’s totally fine to buy the things I mentioned in the video-for me, it just becomes a financial problem when you buy too many. As long as there’s moderation and you’re being realistic with yourself, all is good, y’all! 😅😅

    2:31 i think buying *one* water bottle can be good. i bought a stainless steel one 8 years ago for around €20, it's still in great condition and i don't have to buy plastic water bottles anymore. so it kind of pays itself after a while. plus i can use it for different beverages, it keeps temperatures for longer (especially cold water) and i'm not drinking microplastics lol

More so when I remember how much I spent on them👍 now I don't use any perfume or try to finish up all those bottles that I don't even enjoy anymore😭 and my friends and family aren't near so I can't even gift them.

    I absolutely love these videos! Something that’s helped me is if I think I want something, I make myself wait *at least* 24 hours before I buy it, usually several days. If I forget about it in that time, then it wasn’t that deep. Only exception for this is if I’m traveling or thrifting. Finding hobbies help too, a lot of people shop just to fill the time.

    2:43 tbh, I have spent R$429 (73,85USD) on a 40oz Barbie Peaches ‘N Cream Stanley cup bc I’m a Barbie fan and I was in need of something to give me motivation to drink water at home (for some reason, I have no problem to remind it outside, so a simple sleek bottle works for that). The fact that I drink from the straw helps me to drink more water than I could if I was tilting the cup and having bigger amounts at once. I’d only swap the plastic straw to a glass one (bc it accumulates less “taste” and I prefer glass over steel bc you can see the inside when cleaning it). The fact that it is Barbie themed also made me happy to get it (as I grew up a Barbie doll/ related items collector and had a bad person to ruin my collection of years). I just have a consideration: on the bottom of my cup it says “(ethically) manufactured in China”… I didn’t see it being clearly mentioned on their website and, honestly, I think it would impact my buying decision! They do claim it is “ethically”, but so do other companies like, for example, Shein. I don’t agree when some ppl say you need one of each thing bc I think it depends on the type of use for the buyer… The cup was a great purchase to help me go though the average 2L intake (and I also use it as a measure reference for water intake), but now I’m planning to buy a “thin” sleek bottle that I can take in my backpack when using public transportation/ walking (if I had it first, I’d steel buy a tumbler cup, regardless of brand, bc it serves me a “different” purpose)!!
    But I don’t like to see people hoarding and promoting it as something ok and not harmful!

I wanted it, my friend knew I wanted it, but going back to what we were talking about earlier, he pulled me out of the store. We thought "whoa, that was close" and said our goodbyes. I went back to the store and bought it. One thing you can never tell me not to buy is stationery.
