Use 1 buy 1 Challenge 2009 pt.2

[La Colocha]

I have Vitamin E oil and I heard that grapeseed oil is a good preservative too. Although I'm asking because I'm melting down my shea in a container and accidently got some water in it.

Vitamine e oil is good, you will need grapeseed extract essential oil for a preserve, that's what oyin uses to preserve some of thier products Hth.

girl yes. i was in there like 2-3x a week. one day i was in there when a package didnt come. i was talking to the PO lady like she was one of yall. i was like "my butters aint come and i been waiting"
she was like "erplexed you get butter through the mail". i had to tell her what i was talking about and then she invited me to some party she had about natural living. the look on her face was priceless though.
i know she was thinking this girl come in here all the time for BUTTER???

Me too.erplexed @bolded.

Today, the deud that works in there said: "WOW....You always smell good" Now, he's behind a Glass Counter-thingy (mind you/half way tryna' holla').

I think it was the Jane Carter N&S.

And I was thinking: "Imma wear some JBCO up in there next time and see, "How You Like me Now"

You are so wrong, it does't even smell that bad. He might like that smoke rough smell.

@chebaby- I know you were looking for a bogo from miss jessies there is some info in the black friday sales thread.

Congrats to your sis. There is no such thing as cheating, if your not going to use it give it to someone who will. Don't let it sit there and rot. One of the reasons why i started this challenge is to make room and to not be overwhelmed by what you have. Ive been off track but ill be back on it real soon. I was looking in the archives last night and saw a pj's use it up challenge, they were struggling back in 07 too.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

See........Ya'll Wrong! I just need to stay outta the Post Office for a while.

Imma try real hard next month and into the New Year.

I am there now, still 2-3 times a week for some reasonerplexed

But nothing compared to when me & che was doing our thang!

 

[chebaby]

i think im gonna do a small challenge for myself and see if i can just use shea butter as a moisturizer for 3 weeks to a month. i mean i will still use leave ins and oils but instead of qhemet, afroveda or whatever else to moisturize i will just use shea butter. and then i will finally try my avocado butter, yall know i still havent gotten around to using it?

You have blessed alot of people including me and i appreciate it. Look up you'll have a naked man at your front door on christmas eve.

Yo B! Where You Been?

Girl, You had me looking at those Brownies with the Buttercreme Frosting the other Night!

Those things would have be $40+ Do you know how many conditioners I could buy with that $ !

But they sure were good. (That's why my Freezer is now stocked with Lean Cuisines).

 

[chebaby]

she aint gonna only use no shescentit. aint none of us gonna ever only use one line, who yall tryna fool?

now on to the positivity, i think thats great that she has decided to settle down

I found that the regular butters do more for me that mixed butters or moisturizers. Jojoba is the jam all by its lonesome. Do your challenge and keep us updated so we can encourage you if that's what you want to do.

 

[rosalindb]

so far, i've only tried with oils. maybe i should add a touch of water?

Please do not add water. You will need a proper preservative if you do.

I wouldn't add water unless you have a preservative like rosemary,tea tree or vitamin e oil. Introducing water into butter and oil will make it go bad quicker.

Vitamin E oil, rosemary extract etc are antioxidants and helps to prevents oils from going rancid and extend the shelf life but will not be sufficient to stop your products from going bad.

When I make my hair and body concoctions, I just pure oils and butters

Girl I have been looking in every nook and cranny for BF sales from Shescentit. Her Nov 21st blog entry said that she would have her usually BF sale. Last year it was 25% off. I hope that she has her new products out!

 

[Americka]

I forgot to report that I used up a jar of Pantene 5 minute strengthening mask last night. I replaced it with the Pantene Time Renewal which I prefer. I relaxed today with my trusty ORS - it came out slightly underprocessed. I used a small amount of NTM and CSI before blow drying, but my hair felt coated. So I pree-poo'd with VF and washed with Nioxin #1 shampoo and conditioner, wrapped my hair in a turbie twist to draw out the excess moisture and then added some NTM and John Frieda Thermal Protection Frizz Ease. I airdried for about 15 minutes and then blew it dry. I flat ironed and used a big barrel curling iron to imitate a "wrapped" look. I got swang! I owe ALL of the ladies of U1B1 a great big .

Ok the lady at the health food store gave me the info when i bought my ylang ylang essential oil. She makes body products, she sold me some vitamin e oil 32,000 iu of d alpha tocopherol and she also said rosemary essential oil makes a good preserve but the smell was way too strong. She didn't say for how long it would keep but she says those are what she uses when she makes her things.

I got a BF card and gift in the card from Ms. Terri!

Thank you!!!!
