:yep: Me, too!! There was one point in time where I was ordering from Jasmine's almost weekly (for myself as well as friends and family :look:). I love Dana!! She is so sweet!
But, I sure do love me some Verbena. :yep:

I already got my Njoi that I ordered on Black Friday.

I can tell this was an Implusive Purchase for You.:look: For one thing, You'd Neva' Buy CVS Gel 2@ $5.00. Next time you 'feel' something like that, buy a pack of Gum:lachen:

See..that's the kind of Stuff Imma cut out. I went in Family Dollar today @lunch to get a 'cheap' gift bag for Baby-Boys little Burf-day gift, And Ended up with Mane N' Tail Conditioner in My Hand:blush:

I left it at the Register, got my bag and left. I like the Conditioner, but I certainly DON'T NEED IT!:look: Not in a Million Years.

*that's because i was lurking at work and was in that m n t conditioner thread*

yes girl. im really cutting back on buying just because. i still purchase but i think about it and question if i really need it and if its something i'll keep using over time. the only reason i bought the gels were because everyone kept talking about curl definition and curls popping and all that jazz but im a 3c lmao. my curls are always popping unless i do something to screw it up. so the gels are not needed.
im proud of you too T. i know we know we dont need anything but that doesnt always stop us. so you are doing very well.

I wanna hear more it seems like you have it all planned out.

Not yet just brainstorming but i need all of you to help me keep it going. Like for example i want to include things to help all of us while were using up products. Videos, blogs on transistioning, stretching for relaxed and naturals. Someone needs help with something like a style or they can't make a decision on a certain product to puchase. If you ladies have any ideas put it out there. We have this forum for info but many times i see we post questions in here for each other instead of starting a thread. Its still use one buy one. I just want to get more in depth with it.:look::lachen:Do you think its too much?

Aww Thanks Che!:kiss: (But Not Really:look:) BF Got Me!:lachen: The only thing I really shoulda' bought was JBCO. All that 'other' stuff was a Splurge. Oh, and maybe my Qhemet = :love:!

I just came back from Stashville.:nono: I am looking to put one of those "goodie boxes together" for a fellow U 1 B 1 Challenger.

And.....I didn't feel totally overwhelmed because I could put my Hands on exactly what I needed to get to.:yawn: Thanks to Organizing Better. But it Still doesn't make any sense.:rolleyes:

I had promised a coupla' 'posters' fellow U 1 b 1 challengers, I'd hook 'em up with a coupla' thangs.....So, Oh Well, I did my part to Stimulate the Economy and help our BB's:yep:

But Come 01-01 It's On! And there's no turning back.:look:

Imma Stick to Da' Plan! Imma Downsize these products as best I can. I have about 5 more Wash Days to "Clean Up My Act" (no pun intended).:grin:

Imma Strictly be focused on Using Stuff Up for the next Month.

I can't believe tomorrow is Already December 1st!:nono:

Anyway, Next Year, My Focus will Totally Shift. Health, Retention, Technique.:look:

I am SO on product overload.:rolleyes:

Look at it this way...even if you don't use up EVERYTHING you want to use by 12/31...you'll be much closer than when you started. And you're much more conscious of where you want to be, which is not mired in endless products.

Oh and once you start focusing on technique...products will definitely take a backseat. Learning how to style is super difficult...the good thing is, you won't need to buy any products to help you out because you already have some of everything.

No, Not at All.:ohwell: Like today when Shay reiterated how she told us to stick to that one product and finish it up. That's the stuff I need to have repeated. To help me get through stuff. *Helpful Hints/Tips/Advice*

Brownie shared with me a while back how you can use a Leave-In as a Rinse Out.......Stuff Like that, that I would have never thought of........:blush:

Yeah, I Love Hearing about & Participating in "SALES" As much as the Next PJ, but I need more assistance in Health. Retention. and Technique. As well as going through my Stash.:yep:

WOW! You're Such A Sweetie!:kiss: Thanks!

I am determined to Shift My Paradigm!:yep:
 
Oh, I used up my Affirm 5n1 and Aveda DR poo. Both are staples but I won't repurchase until I can use up some of this other s**t I have first. If I have them, I won't use the other stuff. I'll wait until January, I think.
 
Washnset you are not cheap at all. Shipping was why I didn't order hairveda on friday. I ordered grab bags for people that I need small christmas gifts for. If I was just getting one bag, I wouldn't have ordered.
 
ooooohhhhh i forgot that too T. about leave ins=rinse out. cool. but i still dont co wash as much as i used to so it doesnt help me too much lol. maybe during the summer.

I agree. I don't play that high shipping mess, either. I got a few bags because I know there will be stuff in there I can give as little gifts (and maybe keep :nono:) but I feel you on the 6.90 being too much for one!!

I think you would need to change the name. Honestly it really should be named the PJ Support Group Thread, PJ Recovery Group Thread, Product Junky Challenge, We're PJs We Can Help You (j/k about this last one) something like that. We can focus on the following:

*product reviews which can be done in the thread, blog posts, youtube videos with links provided

*alert people to sales

*continue to focus on using up, analyzing, saving, helping others to do the same

*new products

*mixology

*organizing your stash

*managing your stash

*comparable products

*Got a question about a product

*Got a question about a vendor

Styling I'm not sure about because I think the focus should be products. Honestly we do all of this now....you should just change the name :lachen:.

So Seriously: Why Buy the Other Stuff?:look: If you'll just end up pushing them aside to use the Affirm & the Aveda?

And I am not trying to be funny.:ohwell:

So, when you use up the other stuff, will you just stick to Aveda 'Poo and Affirm 5n1?

I like these shay:yep: your right. I was going to do the pj support group or pj anonymous at the start but i saw bhm has a thread as the same thing. I did not want to be accused of stealing someones idea so i thought of something different. I appreciate your input. I want to know what you all want out of this too.
 
To build off your idea related to stretching, transitioning, relaxed, natural-- We've all tried a ton of products and can speak to how it helps when transitioning or when relaxed or when natural, etc...

Also what I want out of this is what I already get:
fun
laughs
support
a serious reality check

Also girl thread names are not trademarked,copyrighted or patened. Use what you want.

It's not anything I've purchased recently. Just crap I'm trying to use up. Things I've wanted to try or whatever. The Aveda DR poo is my fav and the Affirm I will always use. It lasts long since I don't use it often. At touch up time, and when I feel I need it.

Hi Ladies!

I've been spending time with the fam.... I didn't buy anything aside from jbco, I actually found this in the store.

I am going to organize my stash, I know some stuff needs to be thrown out or given away.

I see you all have been having a good ole time. LOL
