PJ's CHALLENGE: Just USE IT UP!!!

It is soo beautiful out! I want to go to the BSS for lunch & buy the 12en1 rinse:cool: I do...not...think...I...can...r.e.s.i.s.t...the...u..r..g..e..:assimilat
 
I need some clariification on rule #4 - Can I repurchase a great product/staple - even if I have other products that do the same type of thing that are "good"?

As you can see I am a bad PJ & looking for loopholes.:angeldevi

You can repurchase your staples, but can not repurchase a staple and buy another product that does the same thing that is good. If you repurchase your staple, and have a good product that you already have, then try to figure out a way to use up the good product that is not a staple.

I returned a NEXXUS leave-in conditioner and a NEXXUS shampoo yesterday plus two more random conditioners that I did not need. I do not know why I purchased those NEXXUS products---such a pj ! I already know what works for my hair so I need to stop "trying out products".

I am getting ready to go to Wal-Mart and return 3 more random conditioners that I truly do not need and are not part of my STAPLES / Hair regimen system. This challenge / thread is really helping the PJ in me ;)

Ended up returning a shampoo and two conditioners to Wal-Mart. I am sooo glad to finally be happy and content with my staples. I have to admit that I did purchase Freeman Papaya and Lime Overboard Shine Conditioner. I need a good alternate co-wash conditioner that I can rely on and I am hoping the Freeman line of conditioners might work. Right now the co-wash conditioners that work great for me are TreSemme Anti-breakage, Tre'Semme Moisture Rich and Mane-n-Tail. Will try the Freeman conditioner for tomorrow's co-wash.
 
Thanks for the clarification Golden Breeze. I will try to adhere to the rules:)

But I was very bad & went to the BSS at lunch.

TaraGlam: are you using the Mane N Tail original for co-wash? I tried it as a leave in & it made my hair sticky. I was going to give to my sister-in-law, but this may be a way I can use it up:scratchch

Did you buy anything?
 
Gave away two moisturizers to my cousin. Should be finished with another one tonight and I may return some stuff to Wal-Mart later on in the week.

Lots of empty space in the bathroom now.:D

I used up a bottle of VO5 conditioner for shaving and as a in-shower moisturizer instead of using body lotion.

:lol: I like where you're head's at! Now I know what to do with a few of my 'left overs'.
 
I finished up another bottle of VO5, plus a Suave and Tresemme conditioner too. I'm so happy, Using It Up has helped me to get rid of a lot of products that were just taking up space. I can really concentrate on my staples now.
 
Ladies I had a serious overdose!! :(

I actualyl feel bad about it believe it or not.

I had a Sally coupon for $10 off $50 purchase. I got stupid in there today.

:(
 
GoldenBreeze: Yes, I bought many things, I bought the 12in 1 conditioner & sole & canela rinse...Nature's Blessings, & a spray moisturizer...I don't know what happened:confused: ...But I have restrained myself from buying any new products for a week.

:lachen: It's otay!

*sings* We fall doooooown, but we get up....


Who am I to talk, I am such a PJ I still am not even in the challenge. It's just too many products out there to try. I can't commit!:look: :ohwell:

HoneyDew: Don't feel bad...you got them on sale. Were any of them your staples?

:sekret: Not a one!!! :nono:

But, $21 of that was on a Heat Cap which I really needed. I don't always feel like pulling out the hooded dryer for my deep conditions.
 
I am working very slowly on this as well, selling products that I haven't used or don't use. That is because I've found my beloved :love:AVEDA:love:. That was my goal--finding a good hair product line that's right for me, and :love:AVEDA:love: got me there. I couldn't be happier...

So now, I'm just using up what I have and getting rid of the stuff that I don't want or doesn't work for me.

Look for the upcoming Summer sales, ladies! ;)
 
I finally finished that moisturizer (you all have no idea how long I was waiting to get to the end of it).

This morning I returned 2 shampoos and a conditioner. I contemplated buying a shampoo that I now consider a staple, but I think I'm going to wait until I finish more of what I already have.

The GoldnHot Heat Cap? I used to eye that one until I bought a microcap last year for my deep treatments.

I used it for the 1st time lastnight. I don't really like it, but it will do. It does not warm up in the very back. Other than that it was okay.
 
While on vacation, I used up a bottle of BB Oil Moisturizer (staple), Kemi Oyl, Paul Mitchell The Detangler, and a tub of Pantene Breakage Defense. Loving Using It Up!
 
I finally finished up a jar of the LeKair Cholesterol Aloe Conditioner. It felt like I had that thing forever. I also found a quarter of a bottle of Pure Elements Daily Detangler. That stuff is good, and I can't believe I've been looking for a detangler all this tine and had one. Its got good ingredients too w/ SAA and silk powder at the top of the list and NO CONES either. I may have to get more of this.;)

But I did finally get Aveda Damage Remedy poo & cond today. I hope to use it after my relaxer this weekend.

I gave away 2 bottles of Suave conditioner and 3 bottles of hair color.

Then I went in Sally's and splurged, but only to replace staples.
 
Tonight I self relaxed and used up Proline grease as protectant, my container of Silk Elements relaxer (will try ORS lye next touch up), Aphogee 2 min recon. for mid-relaxer protein step and a tub of my staple, LeKair Cholesterol.

Yesterday I stocked up on 2 staples at Wal-Mart, today I splurged on Aveda Damage Remedy set and pomade.
 
Hi ladies!
I threw out 3 bottles of products left over from my natural days and right when I relaxed again. I kept telling myself I was going to get to them, and then when the time came to open them up, it was a no-go :( :eek:

So in the trash they went...

And I re-stocked my 2 staple DCs, I am almost done with the one I am currently using, so I've been mixing them together to speed up the process.

I did buy some s/c but I don't have anything like them, so I think that's ok--well it's gonna have to be ok cuz I ain't taking them back :lol: (Keracare Dry/Itchy Scalp S/C--I've been itching and scratching for too long--now I know what it's like to have a normal scalp :D)

I am currently taking a break from my beloved Joico Moisture Recovery so that I can use up my Garnier Length & Strength S/C. It's not as fabulous as I remember so it's gonna have to prove to me that it's not garbage-worthy in the next 2-3 washes...

And my wishlist has scaled down and been re-organized by "type of product" so when I finish one product category, I can look on my wish list and pick something out from there to check out.

I am stuck in daily moisturizer hell! I will be there for a while, just "using it up"! Esp. since I just bought a new one--Keracare! Darn that Macherie w/her gorgeous hair :sekret:
 
I finished up a 32 ounce bottle of Mane-n-Tail Original Formula conditioner. It is a staple and I will re-purchase after I use up some more conditioners I have on hand. I plan to do a pre-shampoo treatment, shampoo, deep condition and rollerset today.

The Freeman's Conditioner is alright but I definitely will not repurchase. Will use it up as a co-wash conditioner. At least I tried it :ohwell:
