She has added black pepper essential oil to the Vanilla Almond oil. This is the description on her site "Black Vanilla & Sweet Almond Oil - a delightful union of sweet and pepper spiciness to tickle your senses"

I got quite a few samples but mainly facial and body. I did get a sample of cassia though which has been on my list of things to try for about 2 years :)

LOL - I knew you would say something :lachen: :lachen: I buy ingredients and make my own stuff these days such as my JBCO, organic VCO, shea butter, black soap etc apart from my beloved aubrey organic conditioners. This is the first time I have bought any products since February 2008.
 
ive been feeling my braids and why do they feel hard?:perplexed
like moisture isnt getting through. and i know ive been moisturizing twice a day with some good stuff so i dont know why it feels this way. my hair feels yuck lol.

anyway im about to go eat. ya know...take a trip to mcdonalds lol.
 
None of the stuff I want to buy is on sale at Hairveda but I still gotta wait too....

Now ya'll know that Vatika Frosting was $5.00 for a looooooooong time. Oops it wasn't ya'll that said something about vatika.

Uh Huh.....:look:

But Ingredients cost $ and etc.........:lachen:

Sometimes......Making your own stuff can sometimes add up to just as much (if not more) than flat out buying product. Especially if you buy exotic oils, EO's, VO's, silk aminos, honeyquat panthenols, guar gum, other additives & base. IMO: That can also add up.

Okay....Now I get it, instead of a "Product Junkie" You're a "Making my Own Stuff Junkie"......Now I See.........:look:

Honestly Che, You may need to Clarify. Supposedly: 1) The Moisture is not getting through? 2) Hair Feels "YUCK"

A Sure Sign you may need to Clarify.:yep:

Lol...as you can see I joined in June...our names are similar though.

And I do like coconut oil and water :yep:.
 
Speaking of Coconut:look: I have Several Cans of Coconut Milk.

I will find a way to do implement them into my Co-Washing Regimen. And I also have a Couple Cans of the Coconut Concentrate.

In Fact, I may look into doing on of these 'rinses' next wash day. I will be 12 weeks post next week and needing all the additional help I can get.:look:

Good Stuff.:grin:

Coconut milk and molasses shole do sound good. I wish i could use it.:lachen:
 
i like coconut milk and honey. add whatever oil you want (olive is best for this mix IMO) and you got yourself a treat.

I have Plenty of Honey & Oil.:grin:

Hey: What did you think about us saying you may need to Clarify due to your inability today to absorb moisture and your overall feeling of yuck? You use an awfully lot of daily styling aids. Do you think some of it could be 'build-up?'

How often do you clarify?

I've been busted :lachen::lachen::lachen:

Seriously, it could work out much more than buying your own products but I try to keep things simple - I just stick to butters, oils and EOs so lucky for me it does work out cheaper which is a good thing as I am redundant at the end of this month :look:

I also try to get multiple uses out of my ingredients, for example I use pure rosewater to spritz my face and moisturise my hair. I also dilute black soap with rosewater and use this as my facial wash, body wash and earlier this year I started using this as my main shampoo. So after I have used up my AO WC shampoo, I will not repurchase. Also the oils I use in my hair oil are used in my body butters also

As I said earlier in this thread, I did start to have butter mountain and oil river at one point. I found it overwhelming and what has really helped is that I now share my hair oil concoctions and black soap/rosewater concoctions with friends. I also share my body butters with a guy at work but plan to start sharing with a couple of other friends too.

I do have a few expensive oils like monoi etc which I have yet to experiment with and there are things I would like to get but I'm being good and not purchasing anything else apart from staples.

I have wanted to buy jasmine and rose essential oils but they are extortionate so I decided to treat myself to a sample of Anita Grant’s rose and jasmine oil. It has been a such a long time since I purchased anything so I decided to get about 10 samples and to be honest it was really nice to treat myself today :)

About Being "Busted" It's all Good Though. We Know You.:eye: We (I) Already Peeped that.

Girl, She An Oil/Mixin' Junkie!:look: Now Americka Come On -- You Mix.... So, You Know How much that Stuff Can Cost????? If you buy your base, Lanolins, etc..whatever you're using to make your bases.....Any Oil and Essential Oils alike Cost $ !

And the Good LAWD Know Butta' Ain't Cheap. I got the Bills from Texas Natural Supply to Prove That!:rolleyes:

I would 'fare to say' if I were to make my own 'Poos, Conditioners, Oils, Face/Bath/Body Products.........I'd be spending alot of Cash. Perhaps more than buying products outright.

An Oil Mixing Junkie. I said it!:lachen:

LOL @ Oil Mixing Junkie :lachen::lachen::lachen:

Seriously I almost turned into one but could not do it at all which I think is why I am drawn to this thread. I found it so overwhelming and I absolutely hate having a stash and gave so much stuff away.

The fact that I have 6 bottles of AO WC conditioners really disturbs me even though they are my staples. That is another reason why I want the AO WC to launch in the UK as then I would only get a couple of bottles at a time.

I'm off to bed now but I will PM you another time :) I need advise from the master
