Okay yall. I think I have turned my man into a PJ. 
erplexed
You know how he asked me if I had any of that Kenra Moisturizing shampoo and I gave him my liter of it?
Well, last night I decided to take the liter and fill up the smaller bottle of it for him and sit the Liter size under the sink for later. Well when I looked under the sink, he had 2 bottles of Loreal Vive Smooth Intense shampoo and 2 bottles of Loreal Vive Smooth Intense conditioner - the big bottles with 33% free in them. I was like
Why did he want my shampoo!!?? Anyway, I did not say anything to him (yet
)and I am just going to let him keep it, but dang!

What could he say when you finally ask him?? "Er, um, they were on sale, baby, I know you like this stuff..."
That is too cute.

Oh, I almost forgot...I've been ghosting around the search engine this weekend and had a temporary laspe of PJ-ism...I went to Sally's and the Asian BSS! I'm so ashamed!
I got Porosity Control and Doo Gro Deep Down Penetrating Conditoner for my DCs. HOWEVER, I noticed the pH of PC is 4.5, and my Joico Conditioner's pH is 3.5 ...So should I return PC to Sally's?? I haven't used it yet.

lol. I have just cut up so bad this month on buying stuff and I haven't used up enough of nothing. I had a F a few weeks but I just kept going and buying and buying and buying. So I figure, I have moved down to the negative grades now. lol Negative F.
But hey, I am ready for May. I am going to use up all kinds of stuff. I am going to make myself worthy of this tread again. Right now, I am not worthy to be here.

I got bit by the Porosity Control bug too! I bought the 32 oz. size Porosity Corrector by Creme of Nature this weekend. I used it back in the day and picked up some more because of the latest discussions.
However, I did use up a bottle of KeraCare Conditioner (1 more bottle to go) and my CON shampoo and conditioner. I have Keracare and Aphogee poos to use up next.

In the last few weeks, I have managed to use up a truck load of conditioners. Right now, I am working through my last haul of cheapies.
But I have slipped up a lil' bit in terms of purchases. While out of town, I found the elusive LeKair Shea Butter Cholesterol, and promptly picked up 3 tubs. I bought Salerm 21 when a local BSS suddenly started carring it. I stocked up some Tresemme and MNT conditioners that went on sale. And today I bought some Hollywood Beauty Carrot Creme.
All in all I am okay with a few teensy pj relapses, I just never ever want to have a closet full of 20 cheapie conditioners. Those multiples drive me bonkers!

I've officially went from an F- to a G. But I refuse to completely withdraw.I bought some Elasta QP and Kids Organics products, but I think I am finished purchasing stuff, seriously. And since I'm trying to go sulfate-free, I'll be giving away most of my shampoos.

sareca, great job. It does feel good when you meet a challenge. 
b_phlyy, you have nowhere to go from here but up. Next stop, D+.
Okay, so I didn't by the DB. I decided that I wanted to reward myself for doing well in the fitness bootcamp, so I'm going to do a little clothes shopping instead. That should bring my grade back up to D+
Letitia, just look forward to May. April is a lost cause.

I have not done very well on this challenge at all. My haircare wishlist is still growing (Is their hope for a PJ?) but I plan to kick back into gear on the use it up pj challenge. I am pretty well stocked on my Staples for a while so here goes.
I plan to do my hair tonight and I will use up the rest of my Fantasia IC Creme Moisturizer conditoner as a pre-shampoo treatment. One down---sooooooo many more to go !

artemis_e. said:I am seriously considering giving away all of my moisturizers--I don't think I will be able to get to all of them in this lifetime. I have to use them all so sparingly...*sigh* the life of a PJ, indeed
I was thinking the same thing about my conditioners. I always go back to useing my Mane N Tail so I have all of these conditioners that I just don't use. But, I am a haircare pack-rat and I am having trouble getting rid of them.

I have redeemed myself, a little bit.
I finished up my bottle of L'Oreal for Women of Color Shampoo, my Sunsilk Hydra TLC 24/7 Cream, and a bottle of Suave Citrus Smoothie shampoo. I gave away 3 bottles of conditioner to my neighbor and returned about 7 items to Sally's and only exchanged them for 3. I threw out an old jar of serum and I'm giving a few moisturizers to my cousin for her baby. Tomorrow I'm going to return some items to the grocery stor in exhange for store credit.
Also, I made some space by pouring multiples of items into larger containers.

When I feel an urge to go to the BSS, I just go shopping in my bathroom, pulling everything out and looking at it. That puts me right back in my place. I've been doing pretty well during my stretch, but now that I did my touch up and I see new growth, I wanna get more stuff for my hair to "celebrate".

I finally finished up something.
V05 Milk Moistures Strawberry and Cream. Love it! I dont have to buy any more. I have 2 or 3 bottles waiting for me.
Quantam Moisturing Shampoo. Hated it! I am so glad to be finished with that mess. I even started shaving and showering with it. It was the liter bottle. Took me awhile to finish that off. I have more poos so I dont have to replace this either.
Almost finished with my Dudle Hair Mask. One more wash and it's out of here! I am so darn overjoyed! I am on a use it up roll!

Good job Letitia, you'll be NOT failing in no time
While I was enjoying another yummy bowl of mac'n'cheese, I got an idea for my moisturizer problem...I'm going to pick one daily moisture product and put it out so I can see it, and put all the rest in my linen closet (my products are normally under my sink, hiding behind each other). So once I'm done w/#1, I'll move on to #2. That's the only way I'll make any progress, I think. Looking at them all at once becomes overwhelming...I'm proud of me for thinking of it. Also, if I ever get the itch to buy something, I'll just look in my linen closet and shut that PJ right up .

Daggit! By the time you posted this I was already in Sally's!!! I did not do good at all. I decided to get the Caruso Set, then decided - I may need to get a heat protector just in case - Proclaim Glossing Polish Color & Heat Protection - then decided I may need to get the extra rollers too - then decided, well while I'm here let me see what they have with caster oil - 2 jars, then I needed a brush and then.....
It was really bad. I'm going to take some stuff back but has anyone used the Proclaim before? the Glossing Polish & Heat Protection is in the pink bottle. Or the Natural 7 Oil (w/ and w/o olive oil)? or BB Castor Oil? or African Pride Miracle Creme?
