The way wash day flows with everything in one cabinet at arms reach. Sooooooooo nice. Why wasn't I doing this earlier, when I first got the cabinet installed?
Miss
Making a first-time purchase from Etsy's anjeupendo on May 17th and not seeing ANY MOVEMENT until June 1st . . . aaaaaaaaaand that movement saying "In Transit On May 31, 2017." It's not looking as if I can replace my Shea Moisture body and face care products with this vendor's products. It's all good: I probably need to be investing in The Ordinary ____ (whatever it's called) brand of face care, anyway.

First impression, exciting hit:
Hit:
Miss:
J.R. Liggett's Moisturizing Shampoo Bar (I ordered samples from here).
This performs almost EXACTLY like the 22nd Century Shampoo Bar, except it's not oily and it leaves the hair springier.
I am so elated: I can get this on the ground half an hour away, and I will not be needing to order the 22CSB.

Hit:
Anjepuendo's Pure Luv Coconut Soap from here at Etsy. It's large, and I feel like I have lotion on post-shower! I literally need no lotion. The ingredients are the bomb.
Miss:
Anjepuendo's shipping/service. She was really communicative and sweet and upfront about it, and there apparently was a reason, but the products shipped VERY late. I imagine I'll purchase again, and then I'll see how shipping fares.

Sephora Play? I have samples of these but have yet to try them. How does the ghost oil smell? I haven't removed the seal just in case I decide to swap it

You asked at the wrong time lol I have a cold, can't smell anything. It's not a strong smell I know that much
Eta: My smell/taste is back. It has a light sweet smell

Hit: Deva Curl No Poo and Deva Curl One Condition.
Really wanted to hate these products so I could return them, but they are giving my WnGs life, even after swimming in chlorine, like nobody's business.

Super Hits!
*Homemade flaxseed gel. Hit on both wet and dry hair.
*Using my homemade body balm that I made specifically for my face, lips and body on my hair. It's as easy to make as 1-2-3! Throw a few butters/oils in a mason jar on top of my candle warmer to melt, let them cool until solid again...and enjoy. No messy whipping. I'll never whip a butter again! It all melts down to a liquid anyway once you emulsify and rub it in.
I've been going to town on this one!
My body and hair is in moisture and smell good heaven. I scented it with pink grapefruit & tangerine EO's.

Hi, @IDareT'sHair. I tried going to the site to check out this product but didn't see it. I must be searching incorrectly. Do you mind providing a link to the product?
I know you said it's great for cowashing. Is it the type of product to just sink into your hair and soften it? Do you think it might also be good for steaming? What's it smell like, and what are the ingredients?
Thank you for any help.

@Sharpened I've never tried that but it sounds like a great combo. I'll test it out next go round and let you know. Aloe gel is bae already...might as well test it with the balm.

I have been layering it on (aloe then oil) after oil rinsing for my twists. Strands, too schooooove. I wish I would have know this years ago!
