Well done on your reflection. Do not throw out 9 months because of one moment. No one thinks less of you. One day at a time!
Thanks so much lovely xx
So pleased to have found your channel! It has inspired me to begin my own No Buy Year from August 1st. You make such great points in your videos about retail 'therapy' and how it doesn't actually help anything (in fact, can make things worse). I am increasingly aware of how insidious advertising and consumerism is, always telling us we need more when, in reality, most of us who live in first world countries already have more than enough. Thank you for your insights and keep going!
Thanks so much lovely! That’s so exciting, best of luck with your no buy august 🙏 you’ve got this!!! Xx
You most certainly did not fail. We are all human and I feel like when we begin any new habit it’s often 2 steps forward and 1 step back, progressing to 3 steps forward and 1 step back. It’s always progress. Fair play to you for being so honest and vulnerable. I’m so proud of you 💕
I did a “low buy” year a couple of years ago to still allow myself the grace to buy a few things throughout the year but limit my environmental impact, and I did really well. I don’t think it’s realistic to never buy anything, at least for me. I’ve noticed I’ve continued to “low buy” since, and I think I’ve only purchased 2 clothing items so far this year- a dress and a silk scarf. I think you’re doing very well! 💙💫
That’s amazing! Well done you 🙌 No I don’t think it’s realistic to buy nothing in the long term. I just wanted a real kickstart to some better habits. Xx
Hiding shopping is probably like me with my sneak eating. Thanks for your vulnerability and transparency. Creating a healthy relationship with shopping is a great aspiration.
Thank you for sharing too lovely xx
I don't know how you've managed 9 months, 9 days is hard for me. Don't beat yourself up. I love just listening to you and hoping that I can curb my own shopping habits.
This is a helpful and honest video, thank you. Whenever I try to make changes in my life, there are setbacks and slip ups, but there is still progress overall. I think that’s normal.
Of course
Thanks lovely! Of course, life is full of steps forward and backwards xx
Don’t be so hard on yourself! For me, bringing a new shoe automatically gives a new vibe to what I already have 😊❤ You’re doing great so far ! I’m also on a “no buy” July, but without any form of guilt. I bought one mesh flat too 😂 although it’s winter here In Brazil 🇧🇷. Im making progresses
Thanks lovely! How did your No buy july go? Guilt free is the best way to do it! ✨ xx
@@gemmaamclean it went great!! Putting up looks using what I already have 🥰
@@marciagarcia8486 amazing!!! Well done xx
It happens! Dont worry about how others might feel about your slip up - you love your shoes and got a shirt you needed and it’s fine. Heck I can barely go 3 weeks without my impulse control going out the window.
Thanks lovely, I’ve been in that place too where I couldn’t even complete a month. ♥️
I think you’ve done brilliantly! Even with this xx
Thank you so much 🙂
It’s ok. One day at a time. I think 9 month with no buying is already a lot.
By the way, I also have similar thoughts to regards of the leather shoes and their vegan alternatives. I buy leather shoes but don’t eat meat. I don’t buy leather bags or other leather items. But shoes are an exception because they’re healthier in my opinion. But I’m beating myself up in my mind for buying them anyway.
Oh don’t beat yourself up either, it can be a tough choice when choosing between ethics and sustainability. In an ideal worn we wouldn’t have to choose between that xx
Omg i love how you dress, are you a soft autumn? It looks like your outfits are my new inspiration
Thank you lovely! Yes I would say an autumn, possibly soft autumn xx
Dont be so hard on you ❤❤❤❤. My dear Gemma it happens to everyone !! It happens. Keep going on. Dont blame yourself . Sometimes we need something new ! Its in our DNA it helps our soul. Pleaseeeeee i felt so sad... Dont feel like that . Just keep going and keep that frame of mind of buying nice cool things that will help to create even more different outfits....shoes are one of those items ❤❤❤ Otherwise lets be using a school uniform😂. I understand your point ofview but dont be so harsh on you. An emotional purchase is good for the soul. We are women.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ Like very much your channel and i watch many many other accounts where ladies buy without a second thought. Well Done Gemma Be U.
Thank you lovely! ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
