Anyone up for a "Use up your stash in 2010" challenge?

OK, I fell off the wagon, kidnapped the horse and galloped to Las Vegas with it. Translation: I just purchased a gaggle of hair products.

On the positive side, this is the second purchase I've made this year (I bought some Qhemet Biologics creams in February), so technically I'm still in PJ Recovery:grin:.
 
Yay! I got rid of some stuff!

Can I join this challenge? I don't have as much as some of you ladies but I don't like having a bunch of hair stuff because I normally don't use it all..

I didn't realize that the challenge ends June 30. I thought it was year long. Oh well, I'm going to continue using up my products.
 
^^^ Yep it does Lulu - but if any ladies want to pick up the beacon please feel free. Work commitments and my epic failure at controlling my pjism have kept me out of this thread for a minute :look:

That said I have made some real progress and found some real staples which have taken my hair to a new level and at least I am happy with that :lol:

Also my mum is making a trip to Nigeria this summer so my cousins will benefit from some super donations :grin: as I know for a fact that some of this stuff does not work for my hair :ohwell:

So ladies let me know if you want to continue and between us we can set up a new session :yep:
 
Anyone interested in renewing this challenge for 2011? If so I can start a new thread but didn't want to do so unless there is enough interest.
