If you are a hardcore PJ or in rehab, the quickest way to kick the habit is...

[Artemis]

to log all that mess into Excel!! Trust me, you will never want to buy another product

4 hrs later, and I just want to throw most of it in the trash. And I haven't bought any hair stuff in months...

 

[BostonMaria]

I actually miss being a PJ.. the high one receives when receiving a package can only be compared to a crackhead high LMFAO

BTW ... how much did you spend so far?

The last item I bought was a bottle of Suave 2 weeks ago and that's it. Nothing turns me on anymore. I think I need Viagra for hair.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

Have a Mini-Stash Sale and then Lugging All that Stuff to the Post Office.

I think that was a real eye-opener!

 

[nymane]

I was a product junkie until I found ALL of my staples...

Just for the sake of not giving myself a coronary, I'm going to not answer the bold I collect hair products, make-up and nail polish, and have been doing so for 5+yrs. And I am a brand/label whoooore in each category. So does that help

I put $ amount in the make-up Excel I did last year and vowed to never include that field again. But I do have it mixed in my renter's insurance policy, lol.

Hey girlie!! *hugs*

Yeah, that'll put anybody on the road to redemption quick, lol

 

[Optimus_Prime]

I took up a bit of gambling . Just scratch tickets and lottery. mostly.

 

[Shay72]

...to BC . Seriously I'm like I will never get rid of these products. Now I understand what dime size of product means .

 

[Artemis]

Lol Shay, that's a good one. My SO would agree with you

 

[La Colocha]

For me i thought about our financial future and how does all the stuff that i have purchased really benefit me and my family. It doesn't, you can't eat it or pay bills with it. Just looking at the big picture has slowed me down alot. I still buy things every now and then but not like i used to.

Hey Artemis!

Thanks to all the Lovely Ladies that helped me diminish my stash. They were great!

My last mini-sale, 4th of July Weekend, one poster bought almost everything I had.

So, that made it nice. 1 Big Box of Stuff.

Seeing how many Duplicates of Stuff I had, was also an eye-opener.

Nice! Yeah, I've been saying I'll do a sale [for a while now] but never get it done. This year might be my year. Somethings are just more important that that new product, y'know like what La Colocha said...that and the fact that I feel like they all work the same. I'm glad though that I've been able to experience such a wide variety of items lol

 

[IDareT'sHair]

There's Still some Pretty Good Products out there! And I love acquiring them.

I just have to learn how to be satisfied with one (or two) of them. Not 5 or 6.

That's been my BIGGEST problem.erplexed I tend to buy Duplicates. Right now; I'm loving alot of these Natural Handmade products. and I have to be cognizant of the shorter Shelf-Life and not buy too many of them.

 

[Artemis]

Ah ok. I can't have dupes. It must be one of each--typically one of each of every brand or range or collection. I feel guilty if I have even one back up of something because I could have had one new of something else. Haha I'm a weirdo lalala

 

[Artemis]

And yes, I think about shelf-life all the time. Liters are illegal in my house. I give them to my SO so he can use them on clients at the shop

Actually that's not 'weird' that pretty smart!:scratchch

This thread may actually teach a hardcore PJ some newcore tricks.....

Like how to beat the PJ system, surrrrrre. Shoot, you still have to use it all. That part I haven't figured out yet. And I stay letting that Korean girl cut my hair so...*shrugs* lol

Girl, I ain't gon' lie...it's hard! But I managed to beat:
1) Perfume
2) Make-Up
3) Lotions/Potions/Bath Gels & Scrubs
4) Shoes
5) Purses
6) Coats
7) Household Items

So, I gotta' be able to whip this thing too....

 

[Artemis]

Oh then you're good then. Last of the PJ Mahicans hahaha

 

[IDareT'sHair]

Last of the PJ Mahicans hahaha

Yeah, that's what I keep telling myself.

But when you hang (on the board) with a bunch of PJ's *sorry Ladies* It makes it that much harder.erplexed

Cause they'll be talking 'bout stuff they love, I'll be talkin' 'bout 'stuff' I love and it's a Lose/Lose situation. Before you know it, it's clicked 'n shipped

But, I'm having fun! It's harmless. And we swap stuff so it's all good.

Starting in 2011, we will be investing in Pre-Paid VISA's for the Year for ALL our Hair Purchases *a new challenge* and once that card is done, you're done.Either $365.00 for the year OR $500.00 for the year.

Heck naw at "clicked n shipped"

That pre-pay idea is a good look, for real. *writes it down on a sticky note*

If you ever get 'bored' come on over in the Use 1 Buy 1 Thread. We're really not that bad..... We do use up stuff, I ain't gon' lie, but we buy alot of stuff too.

That Pre-Paid is gon' be the Joint next year!

 

[darlingdiva]

I'm not a PJ, but I do have a weakness for designer handbags.

To help myself with my "addiction", I have started ignoring the handbag section. As hard as it's been, I've been walking right past it without browsing for even five minutes.

Hang in there, PJs'--YOU SHALL OVERCOME!!!

 

[Coffee]

Mine PJness seemed to just stop on its own; the urge just left cold turkey. I can look at stuff in the store, but have no urge to purchase anything, same for reading about new products. What made me realize I was really cured is I have a $25 gift card for Sleekhair.com and haven't used it .

 

[Artemis]

Cold turkey is right. I permit myself to taking breaks whenever I need to. Y'all be getting a girl in trouble with her wallet. LOL.

But seriously, it's good to be back on here laughing with y'all. It's been a while since I've been really in the hair forum (or really on the site period)...Life.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

Girl.............Coffee Ain't Quit Nothing!

 

[Artemis]

Dang, she called the girl out. Watch out there, now HAHAHA

I don't know how to kick the habit. I love it, but I need a new organizational system. I'm starting to forget what's in the inventory. But it is a pleasant surprise when I see something.

I look and say "WOW" I have Label.M, I didn't know I have this. I'm so happy and grateful. LOL
