New Year No Buy Challenge-October 2024

[IDareT'sHair]

New Month!

I am trying to make it through LD w/o buying any Hair products.

I have been on a Lip.stick and Skin.Care "binge" lately but about to put the brakes on that one too.

 

[HealthyHair2020]

Might need to get some products this month so not sure if I'm sticking to a Sept No Buy. Will stick to my hair budget though.

 

[Evolving78]

I’m in! No Buy this month it will be!

@Prettymetty good job!

I'm doing so much better saving my money. my budget is really helping me out!

I keep it simple and just write it in a notebook

I wish I would've had a personal finance class when i was in high school smh

The ULTA 21 Days of Beauty have been tempting me but I've been strong. I did buy some silk pillow cases but I can use those forever so it's worth it to me.

I would love to teach a personal finance class. If I can get my principal to approve it I can teach it.

I want some boho knotless braids, but I don’t like sitting for long. My bff has the most realistic knotless wig. It’s super cute. I might have to buy one.

I don't like sitting for long either. I might just do some cornrows and let the stylist freestyle the design

 

[Prettymetty]

I want a new unit so bad. Nadula and Unice have cute ones. Maybe I can get one next month if I meet my personal/career goals for October.

I actually don’t really want anything now that I’m braided up. I am going to leave them in as long a possible and just refresh the parts

 

[Evolving78]

I failed! Lol
Restarting today!

I didn’t get any hair products, but got some makeup. I keep staring at those pillow cases, but I wear scarves and slap caps to bed.

I've been buying stuff . The Curlsmith day got me good.

Did you do them yourself?

Great way to be self aware. You got this!

 

[Napp]

Did you do them yourself?

No. I got my hair braided with no hair extensions. After I go on vaycay I’m going to add hair and make them passion twists

 

[CoiledOrchids]

used up:
1 jar of African Pride coconut prepoo
3 Palmers coconut oil protein packs

the stash is getting smaller!

 

[Prettymetty]

Y’all I’m bout to get rid of so much stuff. I barely have products these days cuz I stopped buying them. I have an insane wardrobe though. My plan is to clean and organize my room/closet throughout the month of October.

 

[CoiledOrchids]

using up my oils. I'm gonna oil my scalp every day and make sure I wear my bonnet so my braids can stay looking fresh for vacay

I plan on doing hot oil treatments and washing/conditioning my braids as well

gearing up for the last few days of work before vacay. I plan on working out daily, eating lighter, and trying new foods without overdoing it. I honestly just want to go to the beach and lay out. I wanted to swim with the dolphins but it cost like $329 per person. I'll keep looking for stuff to do but otherwise, I plan on enjoying the beach and whatever is on the ship and taking lots of pics of the water. I can't wait to watch the sun rise. I'm excited to try the Blue Iguana and Guy's Burger joint and the fancy sit down dinner.

so freaking excited. Chile, my bags have been packed since noon and I don't leave until the weekend lol

I'm going to commit to 30 day no extra spending challenge. I have an order of items coming in and 1 already planned purchase, but outside of that, nothing except necessities.
