Transcripts
we talk about this all the time on this
channel and that is viral products these
are the type of products that you will
always regret buying because someone
else showed you that you need it and
then when you buy it you realize that
you don't need it so it ends up in a
cabinet a closet a random box and then
like a year later you look at that item
and you're like why did I buy this
garbage when you need a product or if
you feel like something might be right
for you research research is key make
sure you're answering your own questions
too why do you need this product where
are you going to put this product can
you afford this product is it necessary
for your house like do you have space in
general for this product or is it
something that you're going to just
declutter in the next 4 to 6 months from
now I've talked about this numerous
times and again none of us live a
perfect lifestyle it's nearly impossible
to eat healthy 24/7 but the one thing
that you will regret the most is eating
junk food 20 247 and that is something
that I was doing for a very very long
time until I started to break down the
food that we were purchasing the
processed vegan food processed food in
general our grocery budget is a little
bit higher now cuz we're purchasing
fresh produce now a lot more than what
we weree before but when our grocery
budget was lower because again in the US
process junk food is cheaper than fresh
food which is a big BS I hope one day
someone Chang changes this I feel like
junk food should be expensive and fresh
produce should be cheap junk food is
something that you will always always
regret purchasing because it's not to be
consumed on a daily base having some ice
cream here and there no problem having a
cupcake here and there no problem but
eating this stuff consistently is going
to lead to Crazy health problems
obesity diabetes like this is the stuff
that I had to like kind of have a
reality check onone because I had a huge
Sweet Tooth and it's funny because even
my mom and my sisters like they had this
misconception where they were like wait
car why are you gaining so much weight
when you're vegan don't you eat like
veggies and stuff and they thought
because I was eating like vegan cupcakes
they thought that it was a healthy
cupcake still made with a bunch of sugar
vegan butter just because something is
labeled vegan doesn't mean it's healthy
so I want to put that out there too if
it's labeled vegan or vegetarian or keto
friendly check the other ingredients
that are in that product it could still
have dyes it could still have a ton of
added sugar it could have natural
flavors which again natural flavors is
not what it means it's basically just a
chemical that makes you addicting so
they should like change that label
instead of it saying natural flavors
it's more of this is a chemical that
will make you addicted to this product
thank you for your business too many
cleaning products I dealt with this I
thought I needed all the cleaning
products out there until a couple I
think it was like maybe 5 months ago I
decided to like take out my entire like
under the sink the bathroom and I was
going through some of the cleaning
products we had and I was like you know
what I can DIY two of these products and
the rest I can just use what we have at
home like vinegar baking soda things
like that so before purchasing a table
cleaner and a countertop cleaner and
then a wall cleaner maybe you can have
like a DIY multi-purpose spray recipe
for these areas and you can decrease all
the cleaners you have under your sink or
wherever you keep your cleaners cuz I
guarantee you when it comes time to
declutter most of the time and also the
videos I have been seeing when it comes
to decluttering the bin of unused
cleaning products never ending so these
are the products that you will regret
eventually because I guarantee you you
will not need or use more than half of
them there are certain hair products
that you will regret because of the
amount of damage it will do to your hair
or how expensive it is and it just
didn't live up to the price or the Bold
claims that this product had for me my
biggest regret was the Revlon the Revlon
little blowout thing that fried my hair
one I couldn't get it to work so I was
like constantly going over my hair worst
purchase ever I highly suggest you guys
if you want that like blowout look my
hair is 3 days old old right now I don't
know why I always film on like greasy
hair days but the blowout look I mean I
don't have it now but if you want like
your um your ends to be blowed out and
then your top part I've seen a lot of
girls use the velcro rollers I haven't
tried this method out but I have tried
the heatless curlers so you can use the
velcro rollers here for volume and then
do the heatless curler here you can put
like the heatless curler through one of
the rollers and let it sit overnight or
a couple hours and then you will have
that blowout look without the heat
damage next product you will always
regret is luxury cars I have been
through this route long story short I
ended up doing payments I leased a um a
Cadillac back in 20 I think it was 2013
or 20 yeah I think it was 2013 or 2014
one of those years it was the worst
experience erience ever and it was the
most crappiest car that I ever owned and
I've had a lot of old old cars and this
was the worst car ever and I will say
the dealership was very sketchy but when
it comes to Lux luxury cars in general
like the Mercedes Range Rovers Bentley's
yes they look pretty and that's all
they're meant to do is look pretty I've
never seen a luxury car out last a car
that isn't so pretty like a Toyota or a
Honda or even um what's what's that
other good brand there's another brand I
think it's either Subaru there's another
brand that is really really good and it
lasts long time and again I know they're
not the most luxury vehicle but this is
a vehicle that will get you from A to B
for years as long as you maintain the
vehicle now when it comes to these
luxury Brands I've noticed a Common
Thread with them they never last over
like A1 90,000 mes anyways luxury
Vehicles they're not meant to last
they're meant to look cute they're meant
to be a status symbol be comfortable in
the car luxurious what really lasts is
the cars that aren't so pretty and again
that's just been my little experience
with cars and I've seen family members
go through cars as well and I feel like
a lot of you know with this area that I
live in the cars that you see on the
road is usually Honda Toyota like it's
very rare that you will see a luxury
vehicle like Lamborghini even if you're
in like the fancier areas like Back Bay
you will still see Hondas like it'll be
like the newer version of The Hondas and
stuff but I can kind of see now that
those cars are better for this type of
weather we have here too so like the
fancier cars are not the best in the
snow and they're just they don't have
that longevity in them so you better
getting your money's worth especially if
you live in a Four Season environment
again I know a lot of people are not
going to agree with me with this one but
this is just been personal experience
I've had way better luck with cars that
aren't the fanciest looking and that
don't have the fancy tag to them
compared to that Cadillac that I
purchased or even other cars that my
partner has had that were fancy so we
both have learned our lesson fitness
equipment now I'm not saying all Fitness
equipment is something you will
regret but in my personal experience
this is something that I suck at the
most and that is working out this is the
one thing where I put everything else
first before working out no matter if I
purchase the treadmill the stair stepper
um the weights the belts like the weight
belts no matter if I purchase the cutest
workout outfits the nice sneakers it
doesn't matter what really matters and
what's going to get you motivated is
yourself so it doesn't matter how much
money you spend on fitness equipment at
the end of the day it all depends on you
and I've learned that throughout the
years I've spent a lot of money on
fitness equipment that I end up
decluttering because I just don't use it
or we just go to the gym and use that
equipment there the fitness equipment is
something that I regret over the years
and again till this day is to do with my
lack of motivation which I need to
change that like I said I'm not perfect
and I need to put certain things down
and put myself first I just don't know
how to yet I don't know how to like Drop
work or drop like you know cooking and
doing the laundry like I don't know how
to drop all of these main things that I
need to do in order to do a 30 minute
workout or more and like I said there's
no amount of fitness equipment that is
going to change that it has to be within
myself so I hope one day that it clicks
and the last thing that you will regret
and this is not by personal experience
but this is something that I've seen
other people go through at like jobs
that I used to have and that is time
shares so they often come with hidden
fees and they are very very hard to sell
if you don't use them I've met quite a
few people that have time shares that
bragged about their time shares you know
there were times where they couldn't use
them and they were trying to sell them
to to other people at work and those
people at work didn't have the time to
use the time share cuz you have to
actually have the time to use the time
share and yeah sometimes a lot of those
people ended up losing out on the money
that they spent for these time shares so
I think this is a big regret like if
you're going to go on vacation then book
it that's it like just book it and be
done with it like you do not have to do
these time shares unless like you are
really going to do them on that note you
guys I hope you enjoyed this video let
me know down below what is the one thing
that you regret buying that now you're a
little bit more cautious about
