I am looking at a ING CD, the interest rates are pretty good, and it will help me not to touch it, lol. But if you know of a good MMA, please do share

Hello,
I am a shopaholic
* I want to limit ALL purchases
* I want to shop my stash
* I want to give my self $1 a day for hair purchases for the year! meaning $30 a month
* I want To shop my stash (again) because I have a box at the foot of my bed that is full of all the hair stuff I order because my closets are full!
(hands head very Low)
I want half of this stuff gone by 2011 if not more. I am playing a game with myself to finish all the stuff that just has a smidge left in it.
* I want to go 90% sulfate free this year ( SMILES)
when I think of more I will be back. Happy New Years Ladies!

Confession, I just bought some Qhemet Biologics
No its not bad, they are staples
I just wanted to make sure you were in here
**slowly walks back out**
Welcome ladies, i hope that this year is as good as it was last year. I used up a bottle of tw mist last night, i have 3 left and a bottle of jbco. Starting off on a good foot. Im hoping that i can stick to my budget this year. Last year has taught me a few things about sales, for hair the good sales are on black friday and for makeup the good sales are after christmas. Ill see what this year brings as far as savings on things that i purchase.

Im using Chi Iron Guard right now while flat ironing my hair and I LOVE it. I no longer need this Fantasia IC heat protector serum.

I was going to ask what you will do with the bolded but i just saw your other post.
So here is my Pledge:
“I Pledge to use up the current products in my stash as per the terms of the LHCF “Use up your stash in 2010 challenge”. I will limit myself to one product purchase per month only OR any EMERGENCY purchases that are needed.
I will save the 50 - 100 GBP or so I would usually spend per month in a separate special fund. With the proceeds of this fund (which I estimate to be about 300 GBP at the end of June 2010), I hope to purchase a stand up steamer and some Halley’s Curls/Extension Plus hair.
I also pledge to stick to my challenges (below) this year in a bid to hopefully attaining healthy APL by December 2010.
I am currently looking for a permanent role after being laid off last year so it seems ridiculous to continue to spend so much money on hair products and appliances which I do not need.
My Forfeit in failing this challenge will be to donate 100 GBP to charity, which will be split between Sickle Cell Anaemia and a Cancer Research.”
Tis all and here’s hoping I can keep my pledge.
Very good post, i pray that you find another job soon.

I would set it aside for now, how long have you been using chi?

today was the first time I used the Chi heat protector and I love it. The Fantasia serum was a sticky greasy mess and my flat ironed hair suffered a lot.

You just saved me from a potentially bad purchase...everytime I go to CVS or Rite Aid, I stand in front of the shelf, asking myself if I should get the Fantasia Serum. I have the spray and love it, but you know how PJs do...
But now I know not to buy it. Thanks!

I really didn't find it was a 'bad' Serum as far as Serums go.
And I have 2. The Clear (Frizz Buster) and the Pink (Heat Protectant).
As with all Serums, you do need to apply 'lightly'. If you do a Search on Serums/Heat Protectants, you'll see that IC Fantasia Heat Protectant ranks right up there with some of the best on the Market.

This year I'm not going to buy a darn thing unless its really truly a must buy, like a relaxer and neutralizer. Only buy a new product if I'm replacing a product that I feel most likely will be an improvement. Like Silicon Mix with Silicon Mix Protenia de pearla
I realized that I have more then enough product to make do, if I'm still not seeing the results I want, the problem exist in my technique.
I also try to make a point to my self that, if I do buy a product that preforms better than what I been using, it makes me feel guilty and irritates me.
I have also made a journal to write down what I did to my hair and how it turned out that way I know, what to to do with my hair, this will help me justified not buying something else. I'll say to me self, well what I have already works, why do i need to change it up.

no problem. I always did the same thing. I always stood in the hair aisle at these stores and wondered if I should buy the serum. Big mistake. I thought it worked well because it was the only thing I had, but now that I have the Chi, I will no longer use the serum.
maybe the serum didnt work well for me. maybe it will work for you?

okay ladies, i'm here!!! i really need a breakthru...DH is starting to question all of the boxes i am receiving in the mail. Last month i went on a joico frenzy in ordered 9 bottles of products totaling over 150.00. i knew i was coming and here to put a end to my madness, so i quickly ordered some kinky-curly hair products to try and hairveda's whipped gelly(luv it). also i have been ordering/buying fitness stuff because i'm desperate to lose weight. i think i spent about(getting the calculator) $260 last month on just fitness stuff....i ordered so much, i cant remember everything i bought. One day i'll just receive a surprise in the mail...i love surprises.......also, when i placed my hairveda order(just like 1 min
)for the whipped gelly. i decided to order some whipped Shea buttercreme....and dang it, that mess was sold out. My feelings were hurt, i was just trying to get more for my shipping!!! Now that creme is gonna be forever in the back of my head until i get it. wow, i just remember i bought some carols daughter hair products too.. A crap load of hair ties,clips,organizers, and a satin headband....omg i just remember my other purchases MSM and EVCO...also bought biotin.
oh my goodness, somebody stop me i am thee worst!!! i am so ashamed to post this, but its the truth.....
okay here's my pledge, very simple because i lost my damn mind in the last 6 weeks..
-buy absolutely nothing in the next 3 months for my hair or for weight loss(unless those pills work, than i will have to replenish fa sho)
-work on using up my stash and finding staples within it...i will celebrate each time i have an empty bottle to throw away(with a happy dance
)
-maybe trade a few products here and there!!
-I will recycle and reuse my old wigs for the next 3 months.
Ladies, it helps if you don't post products name....because folks like me will google the name and next thing i know i'm putting in my paypal pw..... i know i posted some names up above, but i had to rant...lol don't go googling anything now.....

LC girl I thought I was gonna have to come up in here cussin 
Happy new year to all my fellow pj's!
Umm, seeing as how I am no longer employed (even though I don't act like it), I have to TRY to cut back on my spending habits. With this in mind, in addition to the fact that my stash is embarrassingly extensive, I could comfortably shop my personal bss for at least a year or more. I'm going to fall back from the forums. That way my pj flare-ups won't be so bad. You know it's bad when u order something and completely forget until they send you an email apologizing for the delay
Hell, I already know what works on my hair so I'm not in search of anything. I just like collecting stuff.

I found some Pantene Pro-V Relaxed and Natural Breakage Defense conditioner under my bed , 2 bottles so that's 2 more thing I gotta use up 
I also found 2 jars of Elasta QP Mango Butter. I gotta clean under my bed, Lord knows what elses is hiding under there...
So I cowashed with the Pantene and liked it it smells really good, reminded me of this white girl back in high school who washed her hair everyday and stayed smelling like Pantene.
I moisturized with the mango butter, I also massaged my scalp for 10 minutes with my JBCO and sulfur. And sealed with Avocado oil.
I'm mad because my NYE manicure already chipped
and it was a hella expensive bottle of polish so this stuff should have worn like iron.... so I gotta repaint my nails tomorrow *sigh* It's never ending the quest for beauty and grace

Oh man 
I was soo ready not to purchase any new products in 2010 and then I receive this announcement from QB; ‘Although we don't have a date, a lusciously rich deep conditioner will make its appearance sometime this year!’

Ok I was a pj when I first started this site but I have gotten good at talking myself down..
But my pledge for the 2010 is
No challenges at all..see to me hair isn't that important..and if Im wasting too much time on hair then Im not doing the world any good.
I will however stay the heck out of BSS for the next 3 months..see I like to go looking around and then find stuff...
Leave all walgreens and cvs alone
Revamp the 20 plus wigs i have
Really use and play up my hair with all my headbands..
Keep doing my weekly wash and weekly cowash...unless Im in a phony pony..
Keep it coming ladies..
