I fell into the same hole. I was shopping and shopping never really using the products I “thought” I needed. YT played a huge roll in that addictive behavior. I’m now in the hole financially. It’s a difficult pill to swallow knowing I did this. I grew up in the church and I know my Lord has extremely patient and waiting, waiting for me, the gentleman that He is. I know that God is the only one that can satisfy whatever I need. I’m fairly new to your channel, i know why I happened upon your channel. It was for this day, this video I needed to hear this. Thank you for sharing.

@@9023rsd this is such an encouragement to hear! The enemy knows how to get us in the most subtle of ways but the Lord is always fighting for us. Keep up the good fight and know that the Lord is always trying to keep you close! Happy to chat more over on IG. ❤️

Hey Jami super proud of you for closing the account 👏👏👏 sometimes you just gotta quit stuff cold turkey to help, I totally have an addictive personality so I always am watching out for things lol. I was using makeup shopping/yt vids/thinking of it as a coping mechanism as well (chronic pain/anxiety). Being on a no buy ended up with me obsessing over my wishlists and now that more time has passed and I’m busy with other things I think about wishlists less and it’s been way easier. I’m allowing myself to buy stuff after my no buy is over but no longer overthinking about it. Picking up another hobby can be helpful, for me school is taking a lot of my thinking space lol. I’m catholic and for lent you give up something you like for 40 days usually people do meat or soda, this year I gave up KZitem watching. Idk but somehow it helps that you make a promise to God to let go of something. Other people also make promises about alcohol for a year not necessarily during lent etc. Anyway good luck to you!

@@MakeupCleaningAndCats thank you! Keeping busy is definitely such a great way to keep those tempting thoughts at bay. Panning is a huge space with such an encouraging community where there is never any pressure to purchase or try new products. That is quite a feat to quit YT for lent. I tried a few times but am too attached to it. I'll have to try again sometime. With God all things are possible!

Thank you for sharing. I understand bc I started obsessing over makeup too. As a Christian I would say well I don’t drink, I don’t club I don’t smoke. My hobby is makeup. What I didn’t realize was that makeup had me. I had made it into an idol & it became a coping mechanism instead of bringing my pain to the Lord and letting him heal and restore me. I still like makeup and it’s hard to get away from since I’m an MUA but I notice I’m not obsessing over makeup and I have been curating my personal collection by project panning & decluttering. A also remind myself I don’t have to keep testing new products if I already have a favorite product in that category. Or I think about my collection whenever I’m tempted to buy something. I’m also amazed at how much self control I’ve had over the last two 21 Days of Beauty Ulta has at the moment.

@@LisaVegaMakeupMUA thanks so much for sharing. Being a Christian in the beauty space holds a special tension that the Lord can only help us navigate. May He help you have a healthy and joyful relationship with makeup and give you opportunities to worship the Lord through the way you serve others.

I will say when 2020 hit and I didn’t do all of the Ulta purchases, it was freeing to not get the status anymore
