bronzebomb This 6 month No-Buy will be good for me. And Imma try to stick to it too.

I really need to do this. And I hope I can do it. I think if we are all committed to doing it, it should really work. (For Real).

I gotta decide if I'll keep up the "What Did YOU Buy This Week" Thread, or turn it over to someone else. But it usually bumps itself.

I'm thinking on that.
 
hmph, i aint taking the blame for no bodys addictions lol.
but yea wes gotta do better in 2012. its the first 6 months right??? thats a long time:look:
 
Turn it over to someone else. Not everyone wore 2011 out!

I hope we can come up with a new thread for us Junkies.

maybe:

Junkies Unite
Addicts Anonymous
use it up before it goes bad!
 
bronzebomb No, I'll keep it, but won't be posting. It usually takes care of itself.:yep:

chebaby Yeah, we gone do this. And yes, it is a long time. I wonder how much stuff I can get through. I have alot of stuff to dig in to.:lick::
 
We should just keep the same name. We know what we're doing in the thread.

I don't think we should start something with a new name.

The Thread is fine. And it keeps out randoms.
 
I'm wondering if 6 months is too ambitious (sp?)? That's a set up for failure. We want to at least try to succeed right :look:? Maybe try for 2 months, then 2 months and finally an additional 2 months. Make goals for each 2 months and revise as needed.

Let me know about the Shi Naturals. It seems Brownie518 likes them and our hair likes the same stuff. I'm looking to you bc I want to know you don't get irritated by that grapefruit extract.

I make use up lists once in a while but I'm going to make a big one like I did before. I think I'll make it a Use by March 1st list. I should get a lot finished in 2 months time.

I can't wait to wash my hair. I like trying out new things.

Brownie518 so do I. My use up by Black Friday list has now turned into my use by March list lol...unsuccessful! :ohwell:

Good evening ladies! Im so tired! But I made it to the mall today to finish up my shopping now Im drooling over a sick B. Makowsky handbag that I saw at Nordstrom today. Im praying it will be there when I go back next week. Do any of u ladies like that brand?
I liked my hair today. I wore it half up and half down. I will moisturize with Donna Marie buttercream again tonight and wear it the same way tomoro. I decided not to take off tomoro since I have so much to do at work :nono: and I have a birthday party to go to tomoro night. Guess I will be doing my hair all day Saturday. Gotta work on Monday an on call shift from 4pm to midnight....smh
 
Most of you probably are in bed as I should be. Been a long day.

IDareT'sHair, know you said you were planning to keep it but I think you should turn over the what did you buy thread so you won't be tempted. :up:

Got my TU today. Still to early to tell on how it turned out. I did see a ton of hair in that comb when she was detangling after relaxer rinse-out. :perplexed
 
Shay72 - I'm not signing up for the 6 month stretch. No way. I'm going until Valentine's Day and then I will reassess. See if I need to reup on any staples or anything.

And that Shi Naturals prepoo is the bomb.com, as ya'll say!! Creamy, rich, buttery goodness. And the Grow Potion feels really good on my scalp, too. I got the 'heavy' formulation.

girl, I know. It just sounds better to blame others.

But, 2012 is going to be good for me! I'm not giving my money away. You gonna have to earn my money! 25% + free shipping! otherwise, NOTHING!
Click to expand...

I agree. Im gonna just haul my staples on BF or when there is a good sale. And only try new products when there is a rlly good sale, like da Pura body:lick:

If the 6 month is too daunting, then maybe we can break into 3 month stints. Imma stick to my guns though and soldier through the 6 month

My Vendor List for 2012
In no particular order:

Hairveda
Ayurnatural
Curly Kinks
Silk Hair Dreams
Garden of Wisdom
Oyin Handmade
Qhemet Biologics
Shea Moisture
Hairitage Hydration
Shescentit
Claudie's
Ambrosiahair
Terressentials (haven't tried yet but plan to order today)

l'm willing to add 1 more vendor. It's looking like Kyrah's Ultimate or Shi Naturals. I'm leaning towards Shi Naturals because she has more products I'm interested in.
 
Good morning!

I don't understand why you all goung on no buy for 6months? We been in this thread since 2009 and it don't work long. PJ that we are like to try new things, i'm a little more controlled now because i'm trying to get my length back and want to focus on a staple which i had before breakages.

IDareT'sHair, i said it before you like it so why put a burden on yourself:look: you always buy backups that why your stash is so big, buy less then as we know more new vendors finds that comes out you can try without guilt:blush:

I have a stash but its a mixture of gifted Ms.T:hug2: mostly butters/hair rinse.

I'm try to go back to 2010 regimen of ayurveda but teas not paste, i should of brought some when i posted the sale for ayurveda natural go figure:nono:

I have alot of oils to use originals that i may make some infusion but if anyone want to try grapeseed, avacodo, almond let me know.



Brownie518, thats more doable then 6 months, i don't think some made a month:lachen:

LOL LTown its EXACTLY because this thread dont work, why I need to go on a no buy :lachen:

there will always be sales, I can pick up back after Im finished with the no-buy. Sometimes I just need to do things to show myself I can do it :yep:
 
I'm keeping it. The "What Are Your Weekend Hair Plans" went through 4-5 different OP's before I took that one back and kept it regular.

So, No, I'm keeping it. And I will make sure it's bumped (w/o me buying stuff to bump it).:look:

I keep forgetting to post what I have used up :look:

HH Sprout--will repurchase at some point
Enso's Protective Mist (I think that was the name)
SSI's Fortifying Masque--Plenty of back ups

I'm thinking of tossing whatever else I don't want by the end of the year. I was really happy to unload alot of things at that swap. The ones I have you can't read the labels and that was one of the requirements. I think it is only like 2-3 things if that. We'll see.
 
I forgot about the pomade shop on etsy. Let me go take a look. As you can see I'm hardly working today. A little less than 3 hours to go :woot:!
 
Shay72

Longtime lurker here. Just emailed the Pomade Shop yesterday:

ThePomadeShop sent you a conversation on December 22, 2011.

Do you have any type of christmas discount code?

Hello! We are going to have an after Christmas sale (20% off all products excluding samples) from December 26-29. No discount code needed; the prices will be automatically adjusted.

IDareT'sHair

Their pomades have Castro, Sulphur, and Emu Oil. Good Stuff! :lick:

Been using it on my edges but haven't been consistent enough to give a good review :perplexed:

Oh well. Back to Lurking.....and working :spinning:

@Shay72

Shay, have you ever bought anything from the Pomade Shop via Esty?
Click to expand...

Nope, I went to look and I just expected more. Ya'll know I love pomades and I was looking for a variety with a bunch of different scents and types. I'm not interested.

I did convo Shi Naturals on etsy so I can go ahead and place an order. The pre poo butter creme wasn't listed. I'm getting that the Henna Gloss & Strengthening Conditioner, Garlic Conditioner, No Poo Wash, and Scalp Detox. I was a little interested in the detangler but my hair works better with creamy detanglers.

And why did I realize I only have 2 staple dc's. I need to remedy that quick! I've plenty of Sitri & some Shea Moisture to get me through but I need at least one more staple dc and it needs to come from my list of 2012 vendors.
 
Shay72 Yeah, you betta' tighten up that DC'er List!:giggle:

I may get that Peppermint Pomade to try on my Scalp. Especially at 20% off.

Rosemary makes my Scalp Itch, so that's a no-go.:perplexed

Brownie518 gave me a good list of Shi-Naturals to try. When I ordered last night, I didn't know what to get so I just got the Pre-Poo Creme.:ohwell:

I may get more Shi-Naturals before 12/31.:look:
 
IDareT'sHair
What messed me up in the moisture dc category was Jasmine going out of business and Komaza discontinuing their Intense Moisture Therapy :nono:. At some point I will try Silk Dreams Vanilla Silk...I think is the name.
