I've actually been doing pretty good. I was only tempted when the warehouse dollar store link was posted. This month is going by pretty fast. Although, I have my list of goodies I will get in June.

Today I went to Ulta and all I came out with was a bottle of nail polish.
However, someone on the exchange board has offered me some of my beloved discontinued conditioner. That won't count, right? It's not made anymore. I must get it. If I pay for shipping only it won't count, right? RIGHT???

It was admittedly hard for me today. I saw some VO5 conditioners today that I don't have in my collection and I said to myself, "self, now you know you want those conditioners, go get them and repent later with your sistas on the board". Then I thought, hmm, do I really need them? Well guess what, *reaches back and pat self on the shoulder* I did it! I didn't buy anything! I am so proud of myself.

Also does it count if I get something that I will use exclusively for DD? I'm being serious.

I have failed miserably. I have bought 3 things and we are only midway through the Challenge. I did return something howwever. Lol, I hope that somewhat reconciles my purchases.

I'm still doing good--so far!!
However, I almost gave in and bought some of that Sabino Moisture Block the other day.
My willpower is the strongest when I don't log onto this board. I find that my pj-ism kicks into high gear when I start reading various threads...or even click on fotki links and read different ladies' product lists in their journals.
But I'm doing okay so far.
I didn't even flinch when I read yesterday's sale's paper and saw that CVS has that John Frieda glaze on sale---buy one get one free.
The sale goes off on Saturday---but I'll be traveling.
Give me strength Lord.

I'm going to Chicago this weekend! I might be able to get some dominican stuff! I so could, I so could (despite the fact that I don't really WANT nor need any dominican stuff, and considering their obsession with super straight shiny hair, it's most likely full of cones, and I don't need any good heat protectants and lord KNOWS I've got enough conditioners and besides the cones, the cones!!) but I can't go out of town and buy NOTHING hair related, can I?
*sigh*
*talks herself down*
Maybe a hairtoy?

But if you got something I could use we could trade and then you wouldn't have bought anything.

June Challenge?
oh nooooooo....
I most definitely will not be participating in that one! This month has been trying, but I believe I will make it these next few days.
This has actually been a good experience for me--and I believe it has curbed my taste for buying hair products unnecessarily.
However, I can't commit to this 'nobuy' for another month!
Good luck yawl!

I think I could do another month because I get a day pass to buy what's been on my wish list for this month. I can get those items and be able to go another month easily. Thanks for the day pass honey. I could definitely do and certainly use another month.

Get thee behind me, temptation!!!! You ain't right. 
I'm so in for another month! This month was REALLY good for me - and I actually have a list of what I want/need - it'll be simple for me to stock up on Saturday, and be good to go.
I might get a couple of deliveries in June, but otherwise I'll be good.

Thank GOODNESS!!! I was just about to post that I was gong to have to cheat on the 31st. Now I don't have to!
There are so many things I want to get and try but the tax man has not been good to me so I only have a few things I'm getting on the 30th after noon, unless my check shows up between now and then.

I'm in for another month. I fell of the wagon this month and bought the Sabino Moisture Block Serum. I really need to stay off of the board to get through this.
