Tip for grocery shopping : Never ever go grocery shopping on empty stomach. If you are hungry you end up buying more snacks which you is bad for your purse as well as your health.

Omg.. A full fledged video about saving our planet from a beauty influencer 😱😍

Thanks a ton for mentioning the issue with mica mining. You are one who speaks truly against cruely free makeup and practice it, and cruelty free should actually be not just animal cruelty, it should be human cruelty free too ❤️❤️

Damn gurl🔥🔥 these days people hardly think so much, this often crosses my mind how we buy tons of the same coloured lipsticks and the same makeup items from different brands . It's totally unnecessary, thank you for putting this thought out to the world 🙏

So every middle class shopping tactic ever? I love how this video says everything my mom's been trying to tell me since i was like 10. 😂❤️ Lots of love!

More tips: try more DIY, I've tried a looooot of facemasks for oily skin but I always come back to the simple green clay mask and I add a drop of tea tree oil. Affordable and easy. Best mask ever. if a product is available in your city don't buy it online just because you're lazy to go/the shop is always crowded. I used to do that and ended up buying extra stuff I don't need just to pay a certain amount to have free shipping... how ridiculous! Just take some time and go shopping! Also use cash when paying in store, seeing the banknotes disappearing from my wallet is harder than using my credit card. And I always carry around a fabric tote bag in my handbag so I don't use the bags they give you even if they're in paper. I have a whole collection of bags from zara h&m and all that I never use after going back home. Love your videos as always! And your hair 😍😍😍

As a responsible human being, we have to do our part, 1. Stop using sheet masks, 2. Stocking up on foundations, skincare bottles,Rather try using the DIY’s 3. Saying NO to huge PR packages 4. NO to wet wipes 5. Reusing makeup products for eyes, lips and cheeks 6. No chemical products Let’s do this and take this concern to next level Love you jovita!💓

Wow....that's what I'd call an "Influencer" ! Thank you for this Jovita !!

I agree with pretty much all of what you say and I’m so happy to see you talk about it! I think, as a disabled person, the straw issue is a little more nuanced but I do think anyone who *can* use alternative straws should. I do use metal straws myself but I am probably more aware of the difficulties faced by people who have tried the alternatives but simply need to use plastic straws. That being said, the people I know who do need to, will keep them and wash and reuse them, so small steps! Wonderful video!

Great going. Some ppl just think this topic is just a casual one. And never think that a small step can make a big difference. Avoid plastic. Avoid unwanted fashion. 🙌

I do the same when i buy a foundation... i go thro all the videos related to that product😊 so that money wont be wasted...

Can't thank you enough for making this video. Jovita... Extremely thoughtful. I wish more bloggers would spread this word.

wow! Somebody spoke about it finally! I am a minimalist and I have just 10 sets of dresses altogether. Unless it is torn beyond wearableness, I don't get a new one. Thanks for saying this. Sharing this right away!

Wow!!! Out of all the people here in this beauty industry here you are talking about actual problems which many influencer lack actually...you have put out what I actually think of everyday when I watch videos...thanks for being honest and putting this up on your channel😍😍

Thanks Jovita for using your channel to spread across this vital message regarding consumerism , dangers of using plastic . People still don’t get it unfortunately but it’s amazing that you decided to speak about it

I'm already considering this idea since last two months and it feels so nice when you know you are producing lesser waste than you would have done. Even i avoid online shopping as they contain unnecessary plastic packaging.

I completely agree with you. I have slowly started doing all this but it's difficult. Still.. everytime I do not buy something i want I feel really really good.

Thank you Jovita. This was so informative. I too have started my baby steps towards a greener earth by switching from sanitary napkins to menstrual cups which will last me a lifetime. 😍

Your the only consumer friendly KZreadr Jovita!😍 And I say it from the bottom of my heart!🌹

Hi Jovita, I just discovered your channel, and I cannot tell you how great i feel. I am not a youtube junkie but all other youtubers that I have watched (especially make up bloggers) have never ever spoken about any substantial issues like - animal cruelty, sustainability, and consumerism. All this is so relevant in this day and age. Thank you for creating stellar & conscious content ❤️

So true jovita. I was mad about clothes and when I shifted to a new house, I got exhausted just looking at the mountain of clothes...i promised myself I will not buy more until I use up all these. We madly buy without realising. Thanks for bringing up this much needed topic.

True, agreed and we do not require all that chemical on our face clogging the skin. Just a simple one will make u look very pretty

It’s so great to see influencers talking about this issue which is so urgent. Thanks

"Dharti pe bojh" ppl will dislike this video!! 🤣😎 Loads n loads of love to you Jovita for spreading sch a lovely msg through this video.. Do tell us more on this topic. Ur genuine fans will watch evn 1 hour long video. Tell us more we are listening. Also, thanks for these tips. ♥😘😘♥

Indeed ! One should focus on necessities rather than accumulating everything ! Your perspective is so much refreshing . Tysm Jovita for this lovely video and keep spreading your thoughts ❤️

Oh my goodness. This was such a needed message. I am guilty of buying so much stuff nowadays. The tip you said where to think of the top you are growing to style with and then buy it. So much helpful. Thank you! Do I really need another red lipstick when I have more than 5? No! ❤️

This is so authentic and something I so badly wanted some KZread to be doing. I am glad you did this. The trash is killing the planet and the Earth deserves better. We all here are doing kind of almost nothing additional to prevent the situation from worsening. The least we could do is not adding on to it. And the most important point that you mentioned is asking yourself "Do I really need this ?" . This is the most important question that one needs to ask themselves over and over and over again. The middle class people may save upon things because they can't afford many things....but that is what has kept things better. If everyone on this earth becomes a mindless shopper, we don't know what might happen. Hence, this needs to become a mindful practice people need to start making by themselves..... for themselves..... to CHOOSE to live without certain things. Instead pay attention to little things that we never really care.... like being attentive to our breath and our thoughts throughout the day. Also , get over the feeling of "What would people think ? " . Just let them. Repeating a certain cloth multiple times is not a matter of embarrassment, but being conscious. The Earth needs our mindfulness of our decisions not only in consumerism, but also in our thoughts, our actions..... much badly than to comply to all the "stylish" tag from some people. If anything, people need to find excuses to add value to their lives in the form of new skills and such things and not make our lives all about the stuff we own. Since the last 2 years, I have been watching makeup tutorials on YT....and earlier it made me really eager to buy all the stuff I could, even though I knew I never really used even a single store -bought lip balm.....let alone makup. Still the "I should have that too " mindset made me buy tons of stuff, which has just been lying around since then untouched. Not only was it an unconscious decision but also a foolish one..... So I have decided to be conscious and aware of every single purchase I do. And reuse as many things as I can....for as long as I can before buying one. One can always rent heavy clothes if We only wish to wear it once. Also, use DIYs. The bottles and the tubes we buy in the name of "beauty products" aren't really so for the Earth.

Researching (esp. makeup .. but, everything else, too) works ! Earlier I used to buy so much stuff .. and half of it went to waste. Now .. (even if I have been able to control just maybe 1% of what I used to waste earlier) , but I am slowly trying to get what I need at the moment, than what I want 😏

I love it. speak your truth. I have been incorporating more sustainable items in every aspects of my life so I appreciate you speaking up about this. Every little change that is made will make a diffidence for our world!!

I really used to advise same thing to others and they called me a stupid who is not willing to spend money, but today I saw ur video and I was amazed. Thank you for ur message and also I don't use any makeup or anything on my skin other than shikakai and soap nut to wash my hair and skin at least these doesn't come from hard labor of small children like mica and other things. Thank you

I needed this video in my life. Like I do not know the concept of self control when it comes to make up and I'm not even a beauty blogger. Every time I shop I feel like killing myself. That's why I have decided to uninstall all the shopping apps from my phone hoping I dnt by anymore stuff and finish up the products I already own.

Finally ! I am so glad to see a KZreadr who talks sense and talks about preserving the priceless . I am so proud of your girl for making us understand difference between wants and needs . In the digital world full of influencers , you are an inspiration Jovita !

Great respect dear first time saw someone speaking for saving .. Saving our nature..

‘The world cannot take anymore trash’ so true!! An alarming situation indeed.

Love it! You are really using your platform to make a difference in this world. Integrity is tough to come by in the industry these days.

Way to go lady! Bang on! I always wished that someone who is as influential as u should talk on these topics. We as a family have been taught the same since our childhood, 1) think twice, do we need it? Does this harm anyone? And be humble!! . And so glad that my husband thinks the same and our kids simply follow us. Think about the planet! Be doers of good! Because we want our children and their future to have the best and it involves giving them the best place to live in. X

Loved it.. much needed.. i buy things only if it's a yes for following qns 1. Do I need it 2. Do I have a place for it 3. Does it fits my budget If anyone is no, then I won't buy

Thank you so much for this video I send this to my sister 2 weeks ago since she just can’t stop buying and it has really helped her 👍🏽👍🏽😁

The world needs ppl like you , love how you talk about stuffs that most em refuse to talk ! Influencers like you are much needed to constantly remind ppl abt certain things ! Thankyou jovita 👏

This was a very good video. A while back I wanted to say same things.. Stop using the disposal plastics. Words from an influencer brings so much worth.

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU Thank You for talking about this. Its a much needed topic to talk about. We are all indulged in something unnecessary which could be avoided for the benefit of the planet (our only true home). You are the only beauty influencer who shade light on it. Thank You, now, I won't feel guilty anymore of not buying which is only a beauty to the eye.

Jovita you should make a series about it! You are literally one of the FEW youtubers out here on the platform who is speaking about the issue!

This really means alot 💞 I think youtubers should stop doing haul videos That would really make a difference . Just saying!

This is a great topic, Jovita. The world needs to slow down on mindless consumption of things they can do without. Plastic is indeed causing great trouble to our earth and voiceless animals, birds, marine life. It is just sad. I am glad you made a video about it. More beauty vloggers need to address this.

What I really needed to hear. Can't thank you enough for saying it out loud. I applaud you to say these. You are a beauty influencer, who suggests products, and still you said the sensible things. So much love to you and RESPECT

Nice idea and specially to reduce use of carry bags made of plastic.. if we all start using bags from our house to grocery shop or any shopping.. it saves a lot on environmental disasters...

Thanks for talking about this, Jovita! We need to be conscious about what we buy and how much we accumulate and hoard. It's absolutely, totally, completely damaging to the self and the environment. Love you!!

Already did jovi.. it really important to discuss and implement it. I have tried updating my kitchen with glass ware. And then started taking steels spoons with me. Completely agree with plastic straws.. yeah its not about US or australia or India. Its for our own Earth.

I'm so proud of you❤️Finally someone has the heart to come up and actually talk about it. We really need influencers like you to inspire all to buy less than is actually needed. Thank you so much sweetie for your wonderful initiative. ❤️

I am so glad that as an influencer u made a video on this , this topic needs to be heard louder and taken seriously asap because with the rise in trends and fast fashion we are creating more damage and waste in our earth . The fact that more than 400 Million Tons plastic waste is produced each year and only 9 % is able to recycle is really alarming .

Also, planning to start project pan where I arrange products I intend to use on a daily basis in a tray right where I can see them and not buy anything similar until I hit the pan ❤️

Came across this on YT..loved it absolutely. Thanks Jovita. You're a gem. This was so helpful. We need this. Girls need it. I needed this today. I was binge shopping. But also I could relate, because I do these things before I shop. I think a lot before getting!

Great video Jovita. Very much needed to give us a perspective. And you spoke from heart. Love your channel.

Why can't every you tuber be like you hats off to you and your genuineness

Very important topic, Jovita. Appreciated. 👏👏👏 We all should seriously focus on cutting down unnecessary consumptions and reduce the stress on our planet and on ourselves.

That’s awareness at peak !! Way you go Jo ❤️❤️

Every KZreadr should really make this video and we all need awareness about saving resources... You always surprise me with your out of the box videos💕👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 Before buying anything I offen this “Do I really need it??” And many a times i drop the idea of buying useless stuff...

Great video !! I have been doing this of late. Asking myself "Do I really need this?" I used to fill up my cart on the 30th or 31st of every month and buy things as soon as my pay came on the 1st and almost finish all my pay. I ordered from every app, Nykaa, Amazon, Myntra, Shein, Purpllee... But this month I really asked myself "Do I really need this?" I waited for a few days to order, I would remove something from my cart each day. And eventually end up with an empty cart. Which made me realize, I didn't really need any of those things. So, wait it out. And keep asking your self, DO YOU REALLY NEED THIS?

Omg finally thank you 🙏🏻 thank you for this. Now a days everyone is under pressure to like own more. Like bloggers or women who are passionate about makeup needs tonnes and tonnes and they wouldn’t even use it. If I don’t use anything I either give it to someone who would really use it or there are pages on Instagram that help sell your excess stuff which really makes sense.

thank god somebody on youtube talked about this....i am already practicing this being a environmentalist....no impulsive shopping....living a simple life is definitely need of time....no want can be more than the need of mother earth....

I dont understand how can anyone dislike this kind a video... Pains my heart with such hatred for our own planet.. anyway, kuddos to u Jovi... real real inspiration... All my love to u

Your efforts are very appreciative. It's high time we took responsibility for our own actions.

Thank you thank you thank you for mentioning the mica mining issue!!!! One mention from you goes a long ways when it comes to spreading awareness on the issues. And as always great video!!!

Hi Jovita , lots of love from Fiji. I loved the content for today . I'll just add a few more tips. 1. Carry your own reusable eco friendly bags when you go out shopping . 2. You can always sell clothes/ items which you don't need anymore online . You get a few bucks and also don't waste 3. Please stop using plastic wraps as covers for containers and wrapping vegetables. 4. Since some people don't like metal straws , like my mom . She says it gets too cold so instead you can use bamboo straws. 5. Switch to using bamboo tooth brushes , millions of plastic tooth brushes are polluting our oceans. I'll also like to ask you if you can maybe create more content in terms of eco- friendly makeup brushes .?

So proud of my own self for following those 5 tips for a long time. Before buying anything I ask my selfie 100 times. If a dress or shoe doesn't fit me i generally send them to my village and give it to the ones who need it.also i have stopped using straws sheet mask. You should always think twice before buying something. We actually dnt need so much of stuff.

Dis is by far one of d best vdeo,someone ever discussed about...thnx for d tips

Probably the only one who talked about such an important topic being a beauty blogger ... So proud of you 😍🤗 especially me who buys clothes and then don't even wear it .. also creams then they later expire and boom into the dustbin.. trying to change myself now ..

HUGE respect for speaking about this topic. Period.

Such a great video. I was really tempted to buy a new foundation recently but then decided to finish my existing ones :)

I'm so glad an influencer spoke about this. It's the need of the hour, and I am sure it would have touched some people today. Kudos to you!

You as a person are a Gem 💎 I'm glad you came up with this video ! 💕 Thank you for talking about it and giving us all a reminder!💕 I hope more people are inspired to cut down waste generation.

This video is the most needed on the internet today ! Much love 💕

It's high time that KZreadrs should come forward and talk about this!! Thanks for this one Mr. George.

Love that you're using your platform to share this positive message. Much much needed and appreciated 💚

u r absolutely correct we should not do unnecessary shopping ....just dumping ur home with things

True, we buy many unnecessary items and waste a lot of money..... Utilisation is good of any product but underutilisation is just a waste of everything.... Thanks for the helpful video.....

I totally agree with you. KZreadrs and influencers like you should be talking about issues like this and it is definitely appreciable. I too follow many of these tips .I would also like to add another point, when you do online shopping pl order more than one item at a time what I mean is make a list of all the things u want and then buy them together instead of ordering them one by one to reduce packaging materials. Also carry your own water bottle (steel or glass)instead of buying onetime use plastic bottles.

I think rarely there r any beauty blogger like u who bothers about environment and humanity side by side.. Proud of ur act 👍 really inspiring too😊

I totally do the same thing to try to get a good foundation shade online !!! It works !

In a world full of beauty influencers luring us to buy almost everything available in market ..girl ur honest insights are goals ❤️❤️

Omg Jovi, it's nice of you to make a video about this. You are not only a beauty influencer but also a responsible person. Please make such more videos in the coming days. A lot of us know what we are doing , but just not able to practice ways to minimize our shopping urges. I usually follow the need -want method because that is one of the easiest ways to know your priorities. Makes you a responsible consumer. Also, I was totally able to relate to people getting offended easily these days 😂😂

Today my mom wanted something to wrap and was searching for something. When i asked her what is she looking for.. she said i wanted some kinda paper as u have told that poly bags don't decompose so yeah .. That's the kind of mindset we need as a community. Try refraining if can't get rid fully. Find alternatives... and kudos to you love.. great video ❤

We needed this video. Also for youtubers or other platform creators who end up hoarding products unconsciously because of pr and the things you willingly buy, you can gift them to other creators who are small or who are different from you if you and they are both fine with it. For eg: Lipsticks that brand send all shades of, you guys can gift it to someone with a different skintone or undertone so they can swatch them and it can be a collaborative effort + a lot of people will benefit from this. Just a thought

I’m proud to say I’ve been a minimalist since I was a teenager since my family taught us that way, I’ve always learned to save and only spend when I need to, esp on makeup/clothing...this vid is helpful to see the reasoning in understanding to minimize the waste in order to save our planet❤️

This is really what the world needs to see. I wish we reach a stage of self awareness and empathy towards our planet. Thank you❤

So so rightly said about consumerism. I was thinking about how many people are really thinking about it.. when I saw your video and that you're sharing on this platform makes me appreciate you with my whole heart.. Great going girl!!

It is just a video. That you all youtubers do and forget about this.youtubers influences people to bought stuff.youtubers do try new makeup and skincare with luxurious packing and all on daily basis.you do buy clothes or get in PR to make hauls.so firstly the youtubers community have to decide that they want to make money or they really need to stop this and help their planet to survive. This is the difference between need and want.i hope your youtube community will get it. This is not a hate community Jovi.just trying put this out that the youtubers had made this change to our planet.

I respect you so much for this Jovie!! Though it might directly impact the 'influencer' lifestyle, you're advising something so good for the earth

This was a much needed message!! Reuse Reduce Recycle 😁 ... that's basically the best thing one can do for a better future. Thank you for that! 🤟🏼

Absolutely right, thanks for reminding. Sometimes instigation is really required.

I have been instilling this into.my.lifestyle and the method u said abt buying online cosmetics, I already do that with multiple videos on swatches and reviews. Also mindful consumption of products is something Im adopting ever since I got into buying make-up for myself. Thanks alot for touching this topic. I hope we all can bring some change with these methods and practices. Everything starts from changing ourselves first.

Much needed video. That's very Responsible and Sensible. Happy to be part of Jovian Family. You rocked it Jovita

Wow! Brave of you to venture into this arena Jovita! Have realized what you have spoken about in your video.In fact I live right next to a mall and used to inevitably end up buying so much stuff that I eventually used to regret buying later.So...simple...just stopped going to the mall...instead...have begun channelizing my energy into working out at the gym in my apartment...going for walks etc. In fact....one day I sat myself down & just emptied my make- up pouches of whatever lipsticks I had & swatches all of them on my hand only to realize that I had a total of 50 lipsticks of all kinds! And...no place left on my arm to swatch.That too replicas of the same shade in different brands! That was when I decided....NO MORE IMPULSIVE BUYING.I realized that I had become a shopoholic.I now practice the 5 question therapy before I give in to my impulse or urge to buy either make up or outfits.....Do I really need it? will I want to buy it after a day? How badly do I want it? Will I regret buying it later? What else can I use that amount for which is real value for my money. This has really helped me cut down on unnecessary expenditure and save my money for better long term purchases. Am sorry if my comments have bored u or seem too long but I had to say kudos to you for voicing ur opinion for it did touch a kindred chord in me. More strength & power to you girl....keep rocking as u always do....muaaaaaah😍😘🤗🤗🤗

Hey love!!

U touched my heart Jovi. This is the main reason y I don't shop much bc I care about the planet and my pocket too. Before buying anything I think several times and more. Like do I really need this this? That's y so many things I wanted to buy but I never purchased. Things that I wanted to get I got after a year. I never anything extra with me. Once I finished one then I bought another. Thank u for making this video. This lesson is priceless. Taking this msg to masses we can really help others.
