This site is taking over my life. I am on it all day at work and all day-night at home. I think that I am going to start limiting my web surfing to only during work hours aka 9-5 (yeah I know )

I need to use my bootleg Rosetta Stone in German again, practice makeup and play my guitar.

you and i have so much in common. i wanted rosetta stone to learn spanish(not as good as id like to be), and i found an old guitar i want to learn how to play. i need to save money for lessons.

 

[chebaby]

i like curls products. the milkshake is the best product they have to me. the whipped cream is always iffy. one minute it works the next minute it doesnt. the shampoo is great but the conditioners are just ok. i love the quench moistrizer too.

 

[Ms_CoCo37]

Same here! That jar would las me a year and some change.

I need some more EVCO and that's a good price! I've just never heard of the NSI brand. I usually use Nutiva but for the price, I'd be willing to try.

 

[Charz]

I've realized that I hate ordering in bulk. I get too bored and never finish it.

Me too

 

[Ms_CoCo37]

you two are hysterical! But you speak the truth!

Oprah would tell us that we are trying to fill a void. Maybe we were dropped on the head as babies LOL

I would tell Oprah that I'm just trying to stimulate the economy. Obama needs me!

 

[Ms_CoCo37]

Please stop!!! You're making my head hurt!!!

I'm an addict too. I can't get enough of this board!

[Eisani]

Thank u Chaos!! I need the evco cuz I use that all ova my body and you can't beat $20 for 54oz. At least SOMEBODY understands me. Hmph.

 

[Sade']

This is nuts...I went to the store on Tuesday Wednesday and today and purchased 10 different hair products. This week alone I prob spent just under 100.00. I have a bag full of stuff at my desk right now with the receipts...it's going BACK! I refuse to do this to myself again this year. I have checks that need to clear the bank this week and at this rate they are going to be bouncing from here to Mexico! My DH has no idea b/c i carry a big ole purse and hide my bags in it then smuggle everything str8 to my bathroom. I know the folks at CVS have me on camera as a suspect. I am in the at least twice a day casing the joint for new oils and conditioners. My next job will not be in close proximity of a cvs or bss. SERIOUSLY.

 

[JJamiah]

Ahhhh, Ordered the Steamer, still have to wait until 1/30/10 for it to get stock but atleast I know I will get it. Excited!

 

[BostonMaria]

I am seriously contemplating replacing all my natural gels, like HV's whipped gelly and KCCC, with Ecostyler gel. That stuff is soooooo cheap. I want to try the Olive oil one. A 32oz is only $5... vs. 16 oz of KCCC for $30

Ecostyler & Prostyler gels are the BEST GELS EVAHHHHHH
I just recently purchased a huge jar of Prostyler black gel for $2.99. That would last me months, but my stepdaughter curls her hair almost every day.

I didn't even know there was such thing as broccoli seed oil.
Hell, I didn't even know that broccoli had seeds.

But in Eisani's defense, there is only a little bit of EVCO left.
You can't be without the EVCO...and 19.99 is an excellent price for 54 oz. Does anyone know if it's a permanent price or a limited time offer?

I know, but I thought this was a PJ support thread and we're supposed to stop people from buying!!!

Congratulations!!! I get mine on Monday! Oh Federal Express man, where art thou?

 

[chebaby]

i pre pood overnight with amla gold oil and then washed today with black soap. then i conditioned with curls coconut sublime conditioner, starting to love this conditioner, then i put the rest of my kbb mask on my hair and let that sit. i used oyin honey hemp as a leave in followed by jbco and cocasta oil and then slicked back my puff with almond glaze. my hair is still damp.

i think its good to find product twins in your stash. for example. i only have one 4ox jar of kbb hair mask left and was gonna repurchase but then i thought i still have some afroveda aslii conditioner in my stash and to me they are twins so i can hold out on repurchasing kbb right now.
also i dont need to repurchase hairveda almond glaze yet because i have oyin pomade and aveda anti humectant pomade.
i also think jane carter twist and lock and miss jessies baby buttercream are twins.

 

[redecouvert]

@lacolocha: oh yes...let's not even talk about Ruchita here. I am very patient, understanding but wooow....that was really bad. As soon as I said I was going to file a dispute, I got a shipping notification within minutes.I was tempted to blast her on my blog/ youtube but that's not me. I just decided to take my business elsewhere

@Chebabyh yes. I let it infuse for a few days before using it as a pre-poo. Some do the whole double boiler method, a little bit like Moe's growth oil. But I am too lazy to do all that work. I usually infuse it in grapeseed oil/sweet almond oil or fractionned coconut oil or whatever I have.

edit
@chaosbutterfly: in case you're interested in trying broccoli seed oil, Oyin burnt sugar pomade has broccoli seed oil.

I've been using karess krafters hemp hairdressing as a body butter to use it up quickly. I looove the smell!
finished 2 KBB products yesterday

 

[robot.]

i FINALLY did a whole head of finger coils and it took maybe 3 hours, with breaks here and there.

and i'm almost finished my trader joe's conditioner and my afroveda gelly is about halfway finished.

 

[Eisani]

BM this aint no covert no-buy, this is support to help make informed decisions on purchases and halt the impulsive tendencies some of us have . Yall know a true junkie can flip some ish in their favor Yes, I have plenty of oils but I want more coco for a couple reasons. When I first started my journey, evco and jbco were all I used and my hair grew just fine. I wasn't using all that xtra stuff so I know I don't really need the others. Secondly, its my only moisturizer in the summer. My skin stays moist, supple, and I end up with a lovely warm glow

Oooh, do kiss and tell when she comes

 

[Shay72]

if amla tightens the curls then i need to use some lol.

if i buy some, is it ok for me to just add some into a conditioner and co wash with it? i dont wanna go through all the making pastes and straining for oil and stuff.

Yes you can just add some conditioner. Or just make a tea. You can get heat sealable tea bags from FNWL and some other place else that I can't remember. My best results happen when I do tea rinse without rinsing it out, use heat cap for an hour, then load my hair up with condish (use something that encourages curls) still without washing the tea out and put on plastic cap for about 15 minutes, then wash the tea and condish out.

Your whole post sounds like me missvee, ive been killin the makeup, i need to stop. I really wonder if pjism is linked with other compulsions. For me its food, hair stuff, makeup, books, purses. Is anyone else like this also?

Hey red, did ruchita get you too. I hope not, that is insane people should go to jail doing mess like that.

Yep ! I'm focused on clothes, make up and feening for some midcalf black suede boots right now. I will most likely order the boots tonight.

About Ruchita I ordered from her twice but didn't have any issues but didn't want to chance it anymore. I ordered from Ayurnatural this last time.

Oh Shay, what type of container does the gallon of WDT come in? Is it a big jar or a pump top? Seems like it w/b too thick for a pump.

Pump top, but I think Lamara answered this . It took me a minute to catch up.

Update about my steamer--Cleaning out the gook did the trick. It's acting right again.

Awww Thanks Che!

And Ladies......Tryna' Keep it Real. We're All Here to Fulfill Our Hair Goals.

 

[BrownBetty]

I love Amla! I buy mine locally, but whatever I can't find around these parts I get online. Ayurveda Natural has cheap prices and their shipping is pretty low.

Oh wait this is a no buy thread....

So anyway I bought 2 coats today! A gray one and a short black one.

Missy where are you buying Amla? I need to reup.

[mkd]

I gave my sister a bag of stuff today. I am glad to get rid of some stuff.

Good.

 

[chebaby]

mkd doesnt it feel good to get rid of stuff you know you arent gonna use?
i would love to give stuff to my friends but they arent into hair. i remember about a year or 2 ago i gave my god-sister a bag of products like elasta mango butter, CON shampoo, some natural oasis hair butter ect... some really good stuff. i dont knwo if she used it or not but i know she is faithful to the salon so i cant see her shampooing her own hair lol.

 

[mkd]

Che, my sister has really thick beautiful hair but she totally is not into hair at all either. She washes and shampoos with whatever, usually something from whole foods or trader joe's but she never deep conditions. I keep telling her her hair would be hotness if she gets into it.

 

[chebaby]

i cant wait to do a second day puff tomorrow. i hope it'll be extra big. im gonna sleep in a high puff tonight with my scarf and bonnett. in the morning i'll just sprits with water, add shea butter and be out the door.

do any of you know how janet jacksons hair looks in it natural state? how its so thin looking? thats how my front bang area looks. i dont know how it got to be that way. atleast its only a small section but still. no one else might notice it but of course i can

 

[mkd]

Che, what did you decide about cutting your heat damaged area?

 

[IDareT'sHair]

Well, I've written out my Regi for Saturday, and if I stick to the Plan, I should be Using Up a Few(3-4) things and moving on.

Unfortunately, I still have alot of Open, Half-Open, 3/4th Opened Products of all kinds.

That Stems from Being Product A-D-D Or Some Kind of 'Sickness' to Open errthang at once.

Another Good thing has been Applying/Slathering on these Creamy Moisturizers before Putting on my Wig.
I had alot of the Creamy Conditioning Daily Leave-Ins and I can now actually see myself using alot of those up.

I decided to put my KBB away (thanks Che) and revisit that one in the Spring/Summer. I have quite a few that are currently open that I can hopefully get rid of this winter while under this wig.

I think the Support for Me (like Brownie) will still be Use 1 Buy 1 although I didn't do very good with implementation during the First Challenge, I will carry over that same premise into my 2010 Goals and This Time Sincerely Focus on Using Stuff Up.

Hey Eisani I miss you on Blackberry. My upgrade deleted all my contacts. Send me your pin # again. I stopped using coconut oil for like 7 months and then revisited it back in the summer. I don't know why I ever stopped.

Have you ever tried Jasmine's Shea Souffle Natural Body Butter in Ice Cream Cake fragrance? OMG to die for and makes my skin so moist. My DH goes crazy when I wear it. I hide it from the kids LOL

Missy where are you buying Amla? I need to reup.

Ayurnatural Beauty for $3.25 when I can't find it locally

I gave my mom a jar of conditioner last January because her hair was falling out. I was in her room a few days ago and noticed the jar still had conditioner in it. I was so disappointed.
