Hello! About Everlane, I agree. They don't have any certification about there claims of beeing sustainable, they have a lot of pieces made from cotton but only a few are organic cotton; also some of the ex workers from the company exposed the unfair way that they were fired among other things about that topic. I'll leave a few links that helped me realice this. Certification: th-cam.com/video/x47di-8jt8I/w-d-xo.html Overall: th-cam.com/video/xivXEnROGmM/w-d-xo.html I really recomend her channel to learn more aout sustanability. Ex workers: instagram.com/everlaneu/?hl=es-la
I used to be really against Everlane...and I know all the issues around their brand. So in general, I won't buy from them, however, recently I needed to replace my most worn t- shirt. I only purchase organic cotton. I have been searching for literally years. I did not find just the right one...in organic cotton. Mostly they weren't right for style etc. Because I know what I want. But, when it came down to it, my choice ( due to style and price point), was going to the mall, aka 'fast fashion' OR Everlane. So, I chose Everlane over 'fast fashion' and the t shirt I bought from Everlane was certified organic cotton. I don't agree with so many aspects of the business and brand...but I have eased up a bit on my ' dissing' Everlane Though I do disagree with the Everlane culture of buying new trendy ( yes, they really are so trendy) items, hauls and all the big volume stores, huge TH-cam marketing and I am still so upset / MAD that they still make all their sweaters with some PLASTIC ( aka synthetic materials) therefore won't buy them...but I do feel like IF a person actually 'needs' an item and they can't find it for a reasonable price from a sustainable brand, then they are a 'better' choice then fast fashion in my opinion. But definitely NOT my 'go to brand'. I will try every other truly sustainable brand I know of before Everlane.
Change your routines. Avoid spending triggers. Sit with your feelings. Many women shop when they are lonely, sad, excited, or bored. Avoid friends that encourage you to shop. Congrats on saving a ton of money! 😘👌🏽
My husband was one of those people buying coffee everyday before work. When you put it like that $1000 a year is insane!!! I make his to-go coffee and he’s gotten so use to the taste that he no longer buys them, he rathers my homemade coffee. Woohoo!!! More money in our pocket. 💗🙌🏼
I have been pretty good with money but I still need a lot of improvement. My tips -I don't shop on sales -Every time I buy something I ask myself a few questions: Have I tried buying this item before and if I actually ended up using it? Is it worth the money? Do I actually need it? -Saving account is a must, I put 30-50% of my salary on savings -Stop chasing trends and luxurious items unless its an actually good purchase - Don't buy cheap shit ( still struggling) - Change your mentality -If you cant stop your ''emotional'' shopping. Have a list of all the items you actually need. Like for example a new pan, or nice curtains you always wanted. Usually, we just need that satisfying feeling to fill our holes, so it can be done with any item. -Learn how to dye your hair, do manicure/pedicure, waxing, and all that stuff at home. TH-cam is full of tutorials and everybody can be a pro.
Saving 30-50% of your income is intense though. Good for you if you can do it! I currently save about 20% of my income monthly, while living alone and having to pay mortgage etc.
@@mcwmulkens excatly. I don't have a mortgage yet, no children, and I live in a country were I probably get paid more than average (maybe my education helped too)plus my boyfriend gets paid well. It's not about how much you save its about discipline and doing it regularly. I think 20% is great! In Europe we don't have student loans.. I bought a pretty expensive car but only after saving for 2 years, i try to avoid loans if I can. But I know that one day I'm going to have children and home. So I'm preparing myself :) P.s I live in Iceland, we get a support from our labour unions if we want to study while having a job. I haven't paid a penny for my 3 years uni. Only books and stuff we get money to go to the gym, we get all kinds of refunds for glasses, sportswear. But we pay huge taxes.. my boyfriend is Canadian, he always complains how expensive is this country, like very very expensive..
I’m obsessed with your videos !!!! The coffee tip is seriously game changing. I LOVE coffee and lattes etc. So I bought a used espresso machine on Facebook market place for $60, and now making drinks and homemade drink syrups has become a hobby that I love! But you inspired me to be more strict, I’m gonna try for NO cafe drinks for the whole month of February.
The coffee one is so true. I started making my coffee at home 2 months ago and I was out running errands the other day and was like hmm let me grab coffee on my way home and then I was like no the coffee at home will taste better.
Fantastic tips fir young people with disposable income... SAVE SAVE SAVE, Enjoy the sunset, your friends, family, make your own coffee, etc. so much hard earned money gone to waste for VERY temporary pleasures! Wish someone told me that in the plentiful 80s!
Loved this video and hearing your tips! I especially loved the one about reverse engineering your goals and figuring out what you can do now to get where you want to go.
you really helped me out by mentioning that you spend more money than you wouldve to begin with with “sales” ever since i’ve watched this i tell myself that when i see them and avoid sales!
Great tips! I bought very nice quality stuff in second-hand shops,few days ago grey coat and 2 sweaters,those shops are awesome! I go by the list when go shopping but if I see something that is on sale I will buy,if I can handle money lol keep up the good work xx
How exciting that you found nice quality items when you went thrifting for winter and yes they are awesome!!! Second-hand shops have some serious treasures! 😊😍
The one thing I dont agree with is not buying coffee out. I find it really nice going to cafes and meeting friends or my mothers group and enjoying a coffee. At the moment I'm on maternity leave and I find it a cheap outing. Particularly because in the pandemic we weren't allowed to have people in our homes. Also it's very important to support small businesses! Its definitly about balance, a few coffees a week wont blow the budget. I think you've given lots of other great advice. I'm just sick of hearing about the latte factor
I like to support the small businesses in my city (Seattle) instead of Starbucks, that are really cool and vintage I do it every now and then but I do love making my coffee from home I genuinely enjoy it I really don’t think it’s a big deal if you don’t do it every day as part of your routine and it is something that u find enjoyable and worth your time & money Like u said, it can be really great to get outside for your mental health and meet up with family/ friends
I was doing so good until you mentioned cutting out Target lol. OMG Target is my happy place and that will be tough for me but I'm going to try. You have inspired me.
Did you ever lose friends when you switched to a minimalist lifestyle? I’m on my journey to minimalism and I find myself losing friends since I’m no longer interested in the things they’re into like going to bars all the time. Any advice?? Thanks!! 🤍🌿
Those who mind don´t matter, and those who matter don´t mind. The real friends will make time do to something that´s free. Meet up, drink at your/their apartment, watch a movie, go for a walk and all the other free or low budget things. The ones that you lose now, aren´t friends they are only acquaintances. I know this is very honest but I mean it with the best intention
@Sarah Peterson hit the nail on the head with this one 🥰🤍 @Jenna Manson i definitely went through the same thing, I started to say no to my friends that wanted to go out to the bars all the time because I didn’t enjoy partying and drinking. Many of them understood why and we still found other ways to hangout, whether it was going and grabbing a coffee or hanging out at someone’s apartment. Just like what Sarah said, those that care for you will try to understand and make it work and one thing that really helps nurture my friendships is being the one who initiates that hangout and makes the plans 🥰
Hey! I love your channel soso much! I may have missed it if you've already spoke about it and if I did I'm super sorry!! Butttt.. how do you make your own creamer? I'm struggling with buying store bought right now. Thank you so much! ♥️
thank you! 🥰 I didn’t mention it in this video but I do show one of my creamer recipes in my spooky self care day video. Right now we’ve been making this hazelnut mocha one: 4 cups non-dairy milk 1 can coconut milk 1/4 cup cacao powder 1/3 cup hazelnuts roasted at 350 for 8 minutes 1 tsp vanilla extract 3 dates - All ingredients blended on high until smooth 🥰

Ever lane is not sustainable. I would suggest everyone look a little deeper into their business practices.
oh no, how come?! Can you share some articles please? 🤍

Thank you so much for these! Goes to show how much research we need to do to find actual ethical brands 😞 such a shame.
@@ReneaDominique they are also anti-union!

Oh, you are so lucky to learn this at 24. I’m 48 and just now seeing the light. You should be very proud of your progress!
Me too... starting the process of saving and all that comes along only at 45...
Its never too late 💕
I’ve been trying to break my shopping addiction and so far I’ve been able to put away $430 in the last two months ❤️
Change your routines. Avoid spending triggers. Sit with your feelings. Many women shop when they are lonely, sad, excited, or bored. Avoid friends that encourage you to shop. Congrats on saving a ton of money! 😘👌🏽
Major props to you for talking about passive income and investing! We need more women talking about $$
I'm happy I started transitioning my content to really help my African women especially full time moms built multiple streams of income❤
It brings me joy to put money into my savings account. It feels so good to see it growing 💗

I like how you call it “spending” your money to put towards savings! It really is a mind shift.

If you are in debt, I'd consider payments to your debt as part of "saving" because it is also increasing your net worth!

I need stop going to thrift shops to buy things that I don’t even need. Loo
Very helpful advice and also not related but I absolutely love the color of your hair and how well your face goes with it. Not many can pull it off
These are really great suggestions and its such an important topic to be discussing right now, I really enjoyed the video!
I totally agree! I'm so happy you enjoyed the video, thanks for watching!
“money is the root of all evil” I can’t tell you how many times I heard that growing up 😳
you would do a good job at podcasts!
Would love to start a podcast one day! Thank you for this sweet comment 🥰🤍

Going out for coffee a couple of days a week is okay I agree with you. But everyday is crazy expensive.
The coffee is the most basic illustration for the masses.

Speaking from my experience, owning a menstrual cup, saves a loooot of money!

why is it so hard to resist sales?! 😫
Cuz the marketing is too good but I’m over it especially since I’m studying marketing I realize what they’re doing now 🙈🧐
@@tracy_cakkes hMM spill the tea! 🤓
Great tips! Thank you ☺️
Just discovered your channel and loveeee it 😍
If you have more time can you make in depth video about budgeting
Did you ever lose friends when you switched to a minimalist lifestyle? I’m on my journey to minimalism and I find myself losing friends since I’m no longer interested in the things they’re into like going to bars all the time. Any advice?? Thanks!! 🤍🌿

I loved the few clips of you and your boyfriend/husband together! So cute hahah! I just found your channel, subscribingggggg 🤍
great video! i just found your channel + i'm excited to watch you grow! xoxo
Aw thank you! 🤍 Your Corgi is so freaking cute by the way! 😍
What resources do you have for adhoc budgeting? Seems like a simple google search leads to it mainly being used for companies
can you make a video on your favorite sustainable clothing brands
I use the same French press!!!!!
Hey! I love your channel soso much! I may have missed it if you've already spoke about it and if I did I'm super sorry!! Butttt.. how do you make your own creamer? I'm struggling with buying store bought right now. Thank you so much! ♥️

1/4 cup cacao powder
1/3 cup hazelnuts roasted at 350 for 8 minutes
1 tsp vanilla extract
3 dates
- All ingredients blended on high until smooth 🥰
AND most people who spend money on coffee spend double what you said. Most drinks at starbucks are over $6 now.
