[song_of_serenity]

*okay, now that I got the random inflammatory thread title out of the way to get your attention...

which of y'all New York City hefflets...bought up all the HESH Shikakai Powder in Little India?!

When I told the sweet Indian lady behind the counter, I knew who was responsible for the sell out of the powder...she gave me a look...

I was muttering under my breath *saying this is some bullsh***, walking the cold streets of New York..

How y'all ain't gonna leave a random box on the shelf?

Dang. Ayurvedic gangstas...I know it was folks on this board....I KNOW...IT....ain't no way this was a random sell out...

Wait, what? *cancels tomorrows trip*
~*Janelle~*

This is like when I went on FNWL and I saw that all of the Avocado Butter was ghost. I was like DAMN LHCF!

I wanna thank my ladies for sharing a laugh with me...we can all relate to the scenario of when you're looking for a particular item ...then you see it's all gone...and your mind goes right to thinking about this doggone board...

it's all good though....I'll do a drive by lurk around the stores in another week, I'm sure it'll be re-stocked by then...

 

[caribeandiva]

you're too funny! Ayurvedic gangstas? I'm having the same problem over here in Tampa.

 

[MonaLisa]

Okay...update...two weeks later....

go back to the same store....

look at the shelf again....still clean in the Hesh Shikakai powder area..

(the young indian girl made sure she subtlely let me know I was pronouncing it wrong...she understood Hesh though..)

either there was no restocking over the past two weeks or ....well...we know how it is in these parts...

But let me just share this embarrassing moment....

Something said..not to do it...stick with the store you know better...
but nooooooooooooooooooooo....

I went to check out this other store I had went in awhile back...stuff not as current...so I'm looking around...cause they've moved everything around.. I'm the only one in the store (figures cause they ain't got ish) and I'm being watched like an extra in Boyz in Da Hood 2...

so I finally go back to the area where I knew the Hesh powders were before...

So the man asks me can he help me...

I say, I know what I'm looking for but I don't see it...

then I say....the powders....

Then he mutters something...

Then I say....Hesh, Hesh....

Do you know I think homeboy said not to talk to him like that and to get out of his store in some type of broken Indian type ...talk...
I mean his grill was dead serious. And his Indian sidekick on the side ice grilling too....I'm like...wtf just happened here?erplexed

I still have a question mark over my head...but I know my brown arse ain't E-VA steppin back in that particular store..

Girl,
What part of town were you located? Perhaps he thought you wanted some other "powders" and that's why he went off . Girl, you know you need to be specific- he sure isn't Nikko's cousin!!!

It was an Indian store on Lexington , I think it's 27th/28th - again I don't look at the names, I just go in by sight...and the one time I went before...there were customers in there - shoulda known when I didn't see anybody, I should've just turned tail back out... oh well...

just sharing another ayurvedic mini-tale...

I didn't cause a scene or go off....cause I realized that there was a language barrier/comprehension - miscommunication issue...so I just let it go... man must've thought I told him to shut up or something..

 

[Pam Pam]

Whatnt me. I would be the hefflet that bought up the Shikakai and Amla powders in Chicago on Devon...

Please PM me and tell me what store. I would hate to go up north and "search" when I can have a good lead already.

 

[BrooklynSouth]

I bought plenty but left plenty out in Queens...I did think of others or I would have made a bigger haul.

It could be one of the lurkers. Somebody's going to pay $5 to tell you first come first serve Mo.

 

[DivinelyNappy]

I would show y'all a pic of the chick on the train that I took that looks like Biggie Smalls...but if she was to be recognized here..that would be ..um...awkward... quote]




Girl, you CAN NOT make a comment like that and not think your not going to have to come over here and pick me up off the ground and wipe these tears from my eyes. OMG, that was hilarious.

Do you have to walk down a few steps to enter that store?? If so, their Amla oils are expired anyway

 

[sikora]

I live in Queens and so far the store I buy from seems to be generally undiscovered by LHCF

 

[MonaLisa]

Yup, I went down stairs (still don't know the name though - doesn't matter cause I ain't EV-A going back in there ...).

I have that pic on LOCK on my cell phone along with some others....I'm a pretty decent aspiring writer...but my skills are not THAT good to describe some of the people I see on the train - so I have to have proof to show people...I even showed the sales clerks when I bought my furniture and they fell out..

I was warned by my peeps to cut it out before I catch a beat down on the NYC Subway System...

 

[Miss*Tress]

MonaLisa, you are too much. So not even full-grown heiffers, but hefflets!

The competition might actually be East Indian ladies. In recent years traditional hair care had gone out of fashion, but now the young ones are going back to mom and grandma's tried and true methods.

If the shops are still empty, try Hesh Herbal on amazon.com. They're having a special on shikakai powder - buy 5, get 6. That should keep you stocked up for a while.

This thread is funny because I feel that someone here in Louisville is buying up all the MN 4%!!!!
