The hair bag is all mine and now that I bought stuff at Christine Gant, the body bags will be mine too.
Che and Charz, I know you and Che are bored with AfroVeda but do you like the cocolatte still? I think I want to order that and ashlii conditioner.
I Love the Ashlii but the cocolatte stank! I couldn't deal with the smell, it kinda has the same consistency has the Shea-Amla but more oily.
LOL!!!!! Yeah, I remember you whispering in your review that it doesn't smell like chocolate.

My Hairveda is here! Hopefully I can pick it up from the condo office in the morning. They have gotten in the habit of bringing it out to me. I was hand delivered my Jessicurl box this morning 
.
My hair is ssoooooooo soft. It's always soft but this is a different type of soft. I have been using that sample oil Darcy's sent and the TW mist for the past few days. I used up the Afroveda Prana Green Tea which makes my hair really soft too so it will be a repurchase at some point.

WOW! You Used that Up Already? Good Job!
I am definitely implementing your practices in the Deep Conditioning Challenge
(That's Why I decided that Use Up Your Stash Challenge didn't make any sense, For Me.
)I Can reach that same End Goal, if I do what you do and Just use it up.
Che, PM me if you decide to sell them. What all do you have?
I just used up a pump bottle of Aussie Moist. I have another pump bottle and a regular sized bottle that Fab sent me.

Go Try the Wig On and See. Of Course I didn't
I bought it and "quickly" left the store.
And You're Right, it does sorta make you feel self-concious.
I didn't have it on the other night when BabyBoy came over. I may have to get a real long one for that(Fun Times)
But, Imma Do what I gotta Do (For Now).
And See where it gets me.

mine smells like chocolate but not as good as oyin whipped pudding and coco tree detangling ghee. i smelled them all the other night to compare and oyin def. smells the best. coco ghee smells almost like oyin but the smell is fainter. but cocolatte has an undertone of something else i do not like. i mean it smells like it ALMOST smells good if you understand what im saying lol

Everybody seems to have a Good Amount in Their Stashes.
That's extra incentive to keep using it up, evaluate, analyze (make notes) and trade or sell what is not working for them as we all head into the New Year. Both with Better Knowledge and a Some-what Lighter Load.

Im trying, i want to do better next year. I want to increase my savings in all areas and decrease my spending. I want to do a sale too but ive gone through the cycle so many times. Im really thinking about it though. If i do one it will be sometime this month because i go back to work next month (hopefully) and won't have time to run to the p.o. But im going to be all about using up my stuff with the option if i use 1 then i can buy 1. If i see a really good sale on a staple i will take advantage and i mean really good. 10%,20% off is out of the question, i need something good for me to buy.

this is exactly how i feel. i want to use everything up just so i can start in on everything i call a staple. but i will have the option to make purchases based on sales or using up products.Im trying, i want to do better next year.

my thing is when i say my staples, its still a lot of products. but its what i can get locally(for the most part) and what i KNOW works.

i love jbco but i cant give up my coconut oil or evoo. to tell you the truth i only like evoo for pre poo because i feel like its a treatment all on its own.Your right che, because when im done with mine im sticking strictly with jbco as my oil.

Me Too Girl! We are soooo >>HERE<<
Time Out for Not Doing what We signed Up to Do in this Challenge.
If I want to buy that Ojon Restorative Treatment @ $55.00 I will.
And Not have 1,000,000,000 other Conditioners sitting here too, not being used.
It just isn't practical. And it's Sorta Scary!
Imma be alot Smarter about Spending My $ in 2010.
And that will be after I make a Significant Dent Using Up my Current Stash.
I just need maybe 2 DCs that I like. I like AOHSR and AOWC but I don't love them. I definitely want to keep banana brulee in my rotation and I want 2 others. After that, I am straight. I think I will have my staples then. Like Che said, I really wish I could get stuff locally but there are only a few select things I can find.

Girl ain't nothing wrong with that, and like you said we have the option and i like that
I have some evoo in the cabinet that i rarely use for cooking, i may try it. I bought that bottle last year and barely use it
. I used to mix it with suave coconut conditioner to deep condition with before i found the hair boards. I should have stayed my tail off the innernet and yes i said innernet.

This is the biggest problem for me and i think a majority of us, i live in the middle of corn fields so yall already know
. Im trying to get some natural products here but i really don't think they want to sell them. Now hear me out because im going left field. If they started selling natural products or even decent products, and women get their hair healthy, what will happen to the bss? And i can't speak for no one elses bss but the only good products ive seen there are mizani,kera care, and a few other lines, some of that stuff in there isn't fit to put on a dog but people are buying it because that's all they know. Alot of women don't know about quality products, hell i didn't know before i found the hair boards and its sad. Sorry so long.IDareT'sHair

Its taking me so long to use things up right now, what with washing once a week and using the same products each week. I got rid of so much extra stuff and now that I am back to using the same products consistently, I see my hair responding. It loves it!! My niece is going to visit some of her friends at college in VA so I gave her a lot of stuff to take. That helped get the stash down a little more. I'm going to do another 'recon' on my stash this week while i'm on vacation, see how much extra I really have now. I don't think it will be too much. (fingers crossed)
I'm going to do my hair Wednesday night, and I think I'll do it again on Sunday night, since I'll be off. Get into the swing of the Deep Conditioning Challenge!!
