That's great, T!!! I'm going to get some stuff together this week that I have not and will not use and pm those ladies.

I just had a near-miss!!! It's sooooo freaking hot here in NY that I can't sleep (work 12 hour nights). So, I'm laying here and decide to crack open the laptop. Next thing I know, I had 4, yes 4, tabs open in Firefox, all with full shopping carts!!! I was being redirected to paypal when I just stopped and was like wth!!! Granted, most of the items were products I actually use, but I surely don't need them right now. I had to get a grip on myself real quick. That's what happens when I get bored and/or restless. Ughhh!!!

You's a Just Sweet Little PJ Aren't You?

I will be doing the same. It Saddens/Shocks me when I hear somebody say: so..."I threw it out" as they say: One Man's Trash Can be another Man's Treasure.

Girl, All The Support from Fellow Recovering PJ's...We can do a Quick Intervention Like What.:eye:

We are All Doing So Much Better.

You know the "funny thing" yesterday when I bought that One Origins Conditioner, I could actually feel myself wanting to Buy More Hair Stuff.

It was the actual "buying" -- not the "looking" that almost had me totally relapsing. I was fine "Looking" but once I made that initial Purchase, I could feel myself Slipping...........

I'm good 'cause I didn't buy anything today. You know how it is when you Fall Off the Wagon, I thought today would be One Big Hair Buying Blur But it wasn'terplexed I didn't buy anything.

The bolded is soooo true!!!! I knew if I hit 'Submit order' just once, it was all over! But at least I made it and didn't get anything. I'll hit up the BSS this week and get some more CPR and see if they have any more of those huge bottles of S Curl La Colocha was looking for. I've gotten them for my aunt, real big ones, real cheap. I don't use it up but I can hook a sista up, you know

You did good t, i though i would go crazy today, i only struck out looking for a large bottle of s-curl and i found 3 little ones on sale. But i did stick with what i was looking for, there were a ton of products i could have bought but i didn't. We are doing good indeed.

Aww Thank you ms. b but you didn't see my post. The dollar general was going out of buisness and i found 3 8oz bottles of s-curl for $0.50. So im good for a while. When i get low though im gonna throw up the bat signal.

I woulda' tried to buy up everything they had. Which doesn't make Any Sense.

And justified it because "they were going out of business"erplexed and I got all this for $10.00 (or whatever) even if I used it or not -- That's the kinda thinking that landed me here in the first place.

I know i saw alot of products the ladies talk about on here, not salon stuff but bss stuff, that would have been a temptation for anyone.

 

[La Colocha]

Hi ladies im still here, not doing much with my products. I do have a little green tea butter that i want to get out the way so, im going to incorporate it with my s-curl into my baggy until its gone. I hope everyone is doing well.

I skipped my usual wash on Saturday and I am regretting it. But, this is my last night of work so in the morning, I think I'll use some of that Lustrasilk Shea cholesterol with my CPR prepoo so I can work on using that up. I found yet another opened bottle of Aveda Nourishing concentrate (this makes 3, I think) so I'll work on that, also.

I looked around the other day and I have a lot less than I thought. I guess I gave away a lot more than I realized. I'm getting some more stuff together to give away tomorrow.

I don't remember if I mentioned it, but I finally ordered some of Claudie's stuff and I am loving the Ends Insurance 2 and the Revitalizing Balm. Those will be repurchases for sure. I gave my sis half of the Ends so I'll have to reup on that soon.

Not that new, I don't think. Not sure, though. It's Claudie's Hair Revitalizer. Here's a link:

It's HARD to stay away when they go to whispering those Sweet Nothings...........

Maybe when they have a Sale?

I know my mouth watered a little. If they have a sale i will get samples maybe, just samples not 5 bottles like i used to. But they look good though.

Good job che, i know its a repurchase for you, i seen how much you like it. I loved that conditoner too i just went on to other things. But it is a very good product.

 

[Brownie518]

i finished my kbb deep conditioner.

Did you get the email about the $25 of $75? Not a bad deal!

Code is 'indulge'
Sale ends Thursday

LC--That protein condish from Claudie's has been calling my name for a minute. Brownie518 how do you order? Do you e-mail them?

I finished Shescentit's Green Tea & Hibiscus condish. This conditioner is aiight. It could be thicker but is moisturizing. It smells so good but it doesn't really stand out for me.

I know those products look good, claudies and hairveda sounds good in my mouth.

Good job shay, i missed seeing you. So im guessing the conditoner is not a rebuy? Do you like banana brulee that looks good on the site.

 

[Charz]

I can't wait for my birthday and for labor day sales. I already have my carts ready for Afroveda and Hairveda.

I am getting the methi sativa and cocosta oil from Hairveda.

And from Afroveda I am getting every butter and styler that she has other then the curly custard because I already have it. And another Ashlii Deep Conditioner.

I think my hair doesn't like being rinsed everyday. I think that my hair is much weaker when wet. I do not wet comb anymore and I have lessoned my breakage during my detangling sessions.

So I think I will try only wetting it every 3-4 days and see how it goes. So that means I need less DCs and more moisturizers/leave-ins.

The Nu Milk conditioner I got I ended up selling because it smelled so bad and had no slip. So I think her conditionerss are a no-go with me.

No I am not repurchasing the Green Tea & Hibiscus. No need to try the Banana Brulee bc I am set on my moisturizing dc's (Sitrinillah, YTC Mud Mask, and CD's Black Vanilla Smoothie).

I've missed being here. Yeah, um its been a minute bc my laptop is acting up at home and I feel I need time away from it so I haven't even called Dell yet. It's been acting up since Sunday. They have such a quick turnaround. They come to your home and it is free. I will call this weekend bc I'm starting to suffer from withdrawals. I'm also thinking of buying a mini.

Also I was busy running my mouth on my cell phone last week and the atm ate up my debit card .I got a temporary card that same day but went to the atm and did the same exact thing again the next day . I didn't realize that my subscription was tied to my debit card through paypal. I thought I paid through my checking acct through paypal. So when they ran it through it didn't go through bc that card doesn't exist anymore. So since Monday I have been able to read and not post . But I'm back now!!!!!

i am going to the hair cuttery tomorrow to get my hair cut. its getting on my freaking nerves for real. the top bang area is so heat damaged from before i did the big chop and i dont know what else to do besides cut it all off. the only style i can wear it in now is pulled back into a cute puff and im so sick of that today i was either going to cry or throw up or both. i just cant exsplain to you how upset i am. im either going to get it shaved or just cut down but either way the majority of it is gonna be gone.

anyway all that was just for me to say that my products will be lasting a heck of a lot longer now lmao. for the most part i think i will just use coconut and shea butter and then when it gets longer continue on with my kbb products. my hair grows pretty fast, maybe because its summer, so it shouldnt take longer than a month for me to get back to my regular use of products. also like Charz said, i wont be co washing daily anymore. maybe 3 times a week but not everyday. it was good for my hair at first but i noticed my hair doesnt like it anymore.

also i think my hair is acting up because i colored it twice. once with semi and the other with permenant. i wont be coloring my hair at all this time.
