oh! i got my body serum from bask... eh. i had really high hopes for it but that bottle is too small for what i spent on it, and that little BF discount didn't make it worth it either. doesn't smell as good as i thought it was, nor does it moisturize. i did try it as a sealant for my hair and my twists were plump and soft. i'll probably use it for that, but i originally wanted to use it as a body oil.

eta: i want that HH blackberry sage but someone bought it! grr :lol:

beautyaddict1913 and SimJam - Alter Ego Garlic; great product for shedding. I order mine via ebay. I think the vendor is BlueBeez(sp). In times past, I found their ebay prices to be slightly cheaper than buying directly from their website.

Just bought my sis a plane ticket. Grrrr, that was NOT in my budget!

Eisani - where you headed (sorry if I missed that already).
 
divachyk No, I bought her ticket to come home for Christmas. When I first told her to look, tix were just over $400. Now, nearly double. I could choke her.
 
Hey beauties!!!

I have my regimen down now for the winter. The past couple of weeks, my hair has been doing well in terms of moisture retention.

1) I'll cleanse my hair twice a week, using either a clay mixture, shampoo, or diluted castile soap. I don't want to rough my cuticles up too much by using shampoo too often, so I'll switch it up with the less harsh methods.

2) Deep condition 1x a week, alternating with Jessicurl Too Shea for moisture or Curl Junkie Repair Me for protein. I also like smoothing on a layer of oil on top of my conditioner for extra softness and slip. My mid-week conditioning would be w/ TJ Nourish Spa. Detangle w/ seamless combs.

3) For a leave-in, I would use either Qhemet CTDG or CJ Smoothing Lotion and seal with an oil or butter mix. Put my hair into about 10 or so twists or 8 braids and let airdry overnight (twists seem to dry faster).

4) In the a.m., band dry twists to stretch them out, while getting ready for the day. Before leaving: remove bands, unravel twists, apply shea butter to each section, pin hair into a bun.

5) Re-twist/braid or pineapple at night. Smooth a bit more shea butter on ends.

I'm thinking of making myself a moisturizng spritz (such as a water/glycerin mix) to mist on my hair on non-wash days when I want to maintain the moisture before smoothing on more shea butter, especially on nights when I've been in the sauna at the gym for too long.
 
oooh I got and email for purabody naturals it was just a mixup of email notofications and my order shipped today

yay.... Im still thinking of getting another order to try the murumuru leavein (or whatever it name)
 
I wouldn't mind doing the 1/2 year 2012 No-Buy with you all! I should have enough product to last me 6 months. The only thing I may need to repurchase is another protein condish if the CJ Repair Me runs out before the challenge is up, since I don't have a back-up protein conditioner. I'm straight on my oils, but I do want to get some sweet almond oil to use as a lighter oil for the spring. Everything else I should be fine with.

ETA: Are we going to allow ourselves a pass for sales?

According to track & confirm my SSI, DB, and Silk Dreams is at the condo office. That means I'm only waiting on Claudie's & Hairveda.

I'm up for doing the 1/2 year no buy. I plan to hit up what I didn't do on BF in Dec if there are some decent sales so I should be set.
 
Got my AfroVeda today! She is doing a little better with the shipping!

A "sale pass" is what did us all in before black Friday lol! I think A (as in one) pass would be cool for sales. We also need to make provisions for staple products, although I highly doubt these haulers would run out of a staple *side eye*. It's a great chance to actually use up some stuff and revisit some oldies.
 
chello ladies
so i was lazy last night and didnt do my protein but i did trim. i put my hair in a bunch of twists and then clipped an inch off every twist. then i slathered my twists in vaika frosting as a pre poo. today ill cleanse with the mud wash and condition with nexxus kerafix and naked wash and go with a little juicy leave in on the front.

i really dont need any more products before the challenge but im in a buying mood so ill just get it out my system before then.
 
I am going cold turkey! No passes for me. No sales, no staples, no anything!

Charz set us up for success last year, and I failed...in the first month.

I am not purchasing anything until BF 2012. That's my challenge. Pray for me.

I need to get some processing caps and a spray bottle before the new year.

I would like to get either Pura Body Naturals or KBN Butter too. But there is only so much butter you can use under a weave.

I remember what set me off last year, IDareT'sHair talking about that Pimento Oil! chebaby talking about how good the Creamylicious was, @PompousBlue talking about the Miss Bhree. EllePixie and the KBB Vanilla Latte Jojoba Oil. I couldn't stop and soon I was all out of passes!

Well, I purchased everything and I am not interested in the new lines. Too many popping up without any "Mixtress"/chemistry experience.

If I can only get toa certain length (Whoissugar on YouTube, DenimPixie, or Charz) I would be so happy!
 
chebaby I told my old stylist I was going to trim myself again. She's making a special trip to trim me up talking about "we" don't want to cut off too much. Is it our hair now? She's at an all-white salon now and said it feels weird. She's white but only had two clients that weren't some type of colored.
 
I've been on a conference call since 1 :pyro:. I just tried to put on my headset (hate the in-ear type), but it won't fit over my hair :lol: It keeps popping up.
 
E, thats so funny that she said "we: lol.

so i did do my twim which i love but if i dont do my protein tonight im gonna go crazy. my hair is still wet:nono:
 
so tonight after i do the aphogee il detangle with smoothing lotion and then braid for a braid out with dew and naturalista juicy leave in.
 
Hey ladies. I will watch yall from the sidelines with that "no buy" . I'll pledge to buy less though.

Eisani That's why I haven't hit "paynah" yet at pura I Think I will just make one huge order.
 
Evening Divas to the 10th Power! The Queens of All Things PayNah!:lol:

Under the Dryer with Dudley's Creme Protein. Will steam in a few with Marie Dean (or Tiiva) probably MD tho'.:look:

No packages today, but my Nounou order will ship soon and they are having a Christmas Sale! YAY!

I'd like to have CR Algae Masque and maybe another MHC Buttery Soy!:lick:

Other than that, just chillin'.

chebaby Chello Che!

chebaby Whenever my Ends start looking Raggedtay!:lol:

I was getting a little carried away with the scissors for a minute.:blush:

Eisani You're right.:yep: I don't need a "Pass" unless it's for something little like Plastic Caps.

I have back ups to the back ups and what I don't have, I'm pretty sure I have a similar product that does the exact same thing.:look:
 
@chebaby I can't wait to bust out my Curls Coconut Sublime. I wish I woulda' gotten another Liter with one of those durn Groupons.

SMH. Lawd knows I had enough of them.:blush:

What are you buying next? We might as well go out in a Blaze of Glory!:lol:

I may pick up those KBB Masks if I can get through the force-field at werk:look:
