I am coming into the full realization of these words of wisdom

"Be in this world as a traveler" (-Muhammad)

Because it is easy to bring something into your life, but a struggle and hardship to get it out! This goes for relationships, books, makeup, skincare, car loans, mortages,,,,,yada yada yada. I'm not going to be frustrated though because this did not magically appear, I just wish it would all disappear without me lifting a finger to move it (except my DH!)

That's why I put crates of "free stuff" on my stoop outside.

Today I am going to the used clothes store and sell of suits & career wear. All other things I haven't worn in 6 months are also getting bagged up for resell/Goodwill.

...bagging my hair this morn.

 

[mkd]

I am going to give my sister my AOHSR and AOWC. The only AO conditioner I am going to keep as a staple is GPB. The others just don't move me like that.

I think I need to declutter my house and space like Hijabiflygirl. I am going to pack up and give away clothes and shoes I don't wear anymore. I can't make room for new things in my life if I hoard the old.

 

[sharifeh]

I like it a lot. I just want more product for my money. It's $12.99 for 8.45 oz which isn't that bad but I only get two uses out of it. So I'm moving on. It leaves my hair very soft and moisturized. I tried the condish and hated it but really liked the mud mask.


Same thing Isabella said.

wow 2 uses? do you have a lot of hair?

It's hard to be like a traveler in this world isn't it??

I am going to Cancun next week for 5 nights (Got a great deal at a 4 star resort for $65 a night too!).

And I have no idea what to do with my hair products/regimen. Help!

That's great! I like cancun, I wish I was going . If I were you, I would wash and bun. If I was going to actually be in the pool and ocean, I wouldn't co wash, I would have to actually use shampoo.

ooh! Have fun!
are you planning on swimming?
don't bring too much stuff unless you wash/co wash everyday
It is nice washing your hair in a hotel bathroom though since you don't have to clean up after yourself too well.

I don't feel comfortable wearing a bun yet. When I was relaxed ponytail holders caused breakage for me. I remember a hair stylist asking me if I had layers in my hair. They weren't layers, just breakage from having ponytails

My bangs are 1 inch too short as well

Lol! I try not to leave to much of a mess

Oh heck yeah I am swimming! I love swimming!


Do you think my steamer will count as a carry-on?

 

[Eisani]

Random thought: I wish Jasmine's would bring back the $5 sale bin!!

I also need more Shea Souffle. My skin is LOVING that stuff this winter.

 

[Eisani]

Charz, take u a clarifying poo and a good conditioner that can multi-task as a cowasher, dc and leave in. You can grab some lil travel size bottles for oil and your favorite moisturizer. Take some headbands and a few bobby pins and KIM!

 

[Bun Mistress]

Ok had to run in and confess. Just broke my own no buy for 6 months challenge. Qhemet had products in stock I wanted to try on my air dried hair even though I already have air dry products and I'm not even air drying current cause its too cold. I think I need help.

 

[Eisani]

I wish I could find something stateside that's comparable to Anita Grant's Pink Grapefruit Kissi Oil. My skin loves this oil and I'm running low. I mean, I suppose I could make it since it's just pink grapefruit EO and pure Camellia Kissi oil, but I don't wanna! I want Anita's!

ETA: I just looked @ Camden Grey's site and I can order cammelia seed oil and pink grapefruit eo for a fraction and play with making my own. Maybe I'll try this first because 3.38 oz is $31.92, not including shipping. I can buy the raw materials from CG for $25, including shipping. $25 is for 2 oz of eo and 8 oz of oil. Or was it 4 oz of oil? Either way, it's more for less!

 

[JJamiah]

Need to gather Resistance not to order a Maxi Glide. I actually watched the HSN video, I likely, but I just bought a flat iron a while ago for $150 and another for $50 almost a year ago huh!!!! I am suppose to be limiting my heat anywho.....

I guess I reasoned with myself LOL

[♥Lamaravilla♥]

But a wig isn't something to use up though. I need one!!!!

Do You Have a Blender or Food Processor? If you have either, they should have a button that says Puree.

 

[IrrationalThoughts]

Mortar and pestle? and a lil water/liquid to make the paste? How fine do you want it? Blender maybe?

No, I was reading through some of the earlier Posts.

Yes, I Agree, You Do Need a Wig.

Girl, they look so good now....It's Unbelievable!

Last night when BabyB was over he was telling me how much he liked my hair.............

I said, really? You want me to take it off (and I think I kinda scared him).

I think he thought that was My Hair.......... Po' Thang.

Yeah Girl, Wigs have come a long, long way.

That's what I'm talking about JJ! You Got a Ton Of Stuff Over there. And Look you Pulled out some Emu Oil from 8 Months Ago And You Loved the Results. Emu Oil is a Great Product. *8 months*

Girl, Use up some of that stuff before You buy More. Anyway, You are getting your Steamer Soon. And that's A Good Thing.

Just keep using, giving, trading, purging, releasing so you can make room for all the New Stuff.

IK, For Me, alot of it was/is from Boredom, and it's Fun to always be "On the Hunt" for New/Better Products but I really do have enough especially since I only do my hair once a week.

Imma stop 'Hoarding' even though I give alot of stuff away, I have alot. I read one of the earlier posts someone was talking about 'Releasing Stuff' i.e. Not Hoarding it. Blocking My Flow.

So, I am going to put that into practice too and keep working through my Stash. And Genuinely Focus on Healthy Hair and less on Products.erplexed

yeah, i have an old blender, but it doesn't have a "puree" option. i did try it and it is getting paste-like, but still grainy. i suppose i just have to keep at it longer. thanks for the suggestions.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

I want a wig too.

IK. It was all messed up

And That's My "Work Wig" So I can't be having it all smashed up and lopsided. Looking Crazy.

Imma have to get a Long One for Fun Times. So I Can Be Swanging It Errwhere.

You should go look at them. @bolded. They are so lightweight and really unobtrusive.

I wouldn't be able to handle it, if it was bothering me all day.
