Anyone use Jasmine's facial moisturizers? I think I am going to get the night time one. Neither has any sunscreen and I need that for a daytime moisturizer.

I have the nighttime cream and its thick, I have to use it on my body.

Eta- In my blog under october i did a review on what i had and tried to describe the scents.

Thanks Colocha! :grouphug: So her vanillas really smell like vanilla then? That's a pet peeve of mine when they say it vanilla but doesn't smell one iota of vanilla :lol:

:yep: Yes they do and your welcome. Every scent i tried from her is on point. I recommend her body products to everyone i know.
 
I Just finished Moisturizing and using my MT mixture of MT, Conditioner & JBCO focusing specifically on the Crown Area. Hopefully, I will see some noticeable improvement in that 'troubled' area.:perplexed

Before Bed, I will probably rub a little JBCO all over in various areas. Already Thinking about next Wash Day's Regi.:look:

I am thinking about how to successfully incorporate/add 'Ceramicides' into my Current Regimen. Either, as a Final Rinse or before DC'ing. I may use it before DC'ing.:yep:

I used jbco last night on my scalp and edges, im hoping in time to see improvement in the thickness of my hair also. I use jbco in everything. Ill know what im going to do to my hair for wash day by wendsday.
 
today im gonna deep condition on dry hair with oyin honey hemp and jbco. i shampood yesterday so i wont do that. then ill put in some more braids using heavy cream. i hate taking braids out but everytime i do my hair looks longer and longer.

i still havent purchased anything yet but i do want wen so well see.
 
I would also recommend the Monkey Snacks scent from Jasmine's. I know it sounds crazy but it smells :lick:. She has a page on her website that describes all of her scents. Okay let' see Monkey Snacks--banana, coconut, lime, orange, grapefruit, bergamot, and cloves.

I have given Jasmine's as a gift to quite a few people and they love it. I was a BBW fiend for years (I acted a fool at the June & January sales every year) and everyone always knew it was a no fail gift for me. Then I decided to go natural and switched over to Carol's Daughter then I wanted natural but more for money so now there's Jasmine's. She's the best IMO.

You Appeared to Remain Cool, Calm & Collected :cool:

and honestly, I did sort of wondered why you weren't saying much. About any of the Lines i.e. AfroV, HairV, SSI, Qhemet, Etc....

WOW! I am impressed. You made it through a very 'tempting time' and you were on too. The only way I prolly could have gotten through it would be to stay logged off until Tuesday.:lachen:

Honestly, You Did Great! You should be proud of yourself.:congrats:
 
La Colocha said:
I need one of those:look:. But im going to start to enjoy using what i have.:yep:
Click to expand...

Me Too La! I have such Great Products. (IK I say that every time) and Honestly, I do.

So I really need to focus on them, and when Spring Gets here, I will have given what I currently have an Honest Assessment and I will Know what I want to continue using. And start trying to build a Solid Regimen with "Staples" instead of 50 million things.

This will be good for me.:yep: And I am actually looking forward to it.

T, are you going to buy twice a year too? Like Shay and La?
Click to expand...

It 'appears' when I go to Stashville, that I shouldn't buy anything until 2011 or even 2012:look: except what I use up i.e. Porosity Control, Fermodyl, Giovanni Nutra-Fix etc...little stuff like that.:rolleyes:

I'll just catch Sales Here & There but at this point, I just Refuse to keep adding to My Stash.

I will probably keep buying daily moisturizers like Qhemet as I need them...but everything else will be drastically cut.:ohwell:

I have got to get through some of that stuff to make a determination what's in & what's out. And to keep adding more stuff, is not affording me that opportunity.

Unless there is a Sale that's too good to pass up. And if Che did it, I know I can.:lachen:j/k. I know that was HARD.:blush:
 
How many staples have you all found so far?
So far this is what I have found:

Deep conditioner: HV's Sitrinillah
Cowasher: Yes to Carrots
Wash n go gel: HV's Whipped Gelly
Twists gel: KCCC and AV's Whipped Gelly
Oils: HV's Vatika Frosting and Cocasta oil, Avocado oil, JBCO.
Leave In: Curls Quenched Curls Moisturizer, KC Knot Today.
Protein: Anything Aphogee

I am still looking for my go to butters, moisturizers and shampoos. :ohwell:

I am bored, my family is out so I am just posting away.

Anyone twist out on dry hair? I wonder if that will yield better results for me. My hair feels great today but I am kind of bored.
 
i agree with T and La. i need to enjoy what i have. now i wont say ill only purchase stuff a certain amount a year because i know im an emotional shopper so i cant do that. but i will cut back a lot. like T i think i have good products, 90% being all natural so i dont need anything else. honestly im just not interested in shescentit. im tired of afroveda. dont wanna wait for the 2 products i actually like from hairveda. can get qhemet locally. and cant remember my password for etsy lol. so unless its new(and the new stuff lately hasnt cauught my eye) i wont even look. i still love kbb but i dont wanna pay $25 for her hair mask. i think im just all purchased out.
 
mkd, the only difference i notice between wet and dry twist out is that dry twists are longer and not as fat as wet.

I think I am too. @both bolded.:yep:

And Now I need to Focus on the ALL stuff I have and Healthy Hair Care Practices.

You can have the greatest products in the World but if your hair still looks a Hotmess:ohwell: So, I need to focus on some other things right now.

And trust me, we've (I've) been through this 'phase' before and then it was right back to buying stuff like a mad-woman, but hopefully, not this time.:rolleyes:
