Between last night and today I used up:
1 jar of nourish&shine
1 ao gpb
1 ao wc
1 oyin honey hemp
I used my bone comb just now to detangle. I'm not sure if I like it yet. I think I have to use more oil and smaller sections. That tw mist is looking better and better to me because it's hard for me to be gentle while detangling and I need all the help I can get.

Yeah msa: You have to "report" what will be a possible repurchase and why/why not!
Whoops forgot that important point
.Nope not repurchasing right now...I have another jar of nourish&shine...as well as another bottle of GPB and WC.
Once I finish the jar of n&s I won't be repurchasing that in the future...it smells yummy but I don't need it...coconut oil works the same and it's cheaper.
WC is becoming a staple so I'm sure I'll repurchase that in the future. GPB, not sure yet. It's moisturizing for me so I don't feel like I really need it in my regimen...I need a real protein so I'm going to try out gelatin soon, maybe my next wash. Honey hemp will not be a repurchase since I like WC much better.
I have 2 half full bottles of AO conditioner I need to use up (island naturals and rosa mosqueta). After I use those I'll allow myself to buy the tw mist...at least that's the plan

suuuuurrrrrreeeee come on and celebrate with me lol. everyone can have in on the fun.Ermm Umm...what happened to: "I am on a spending freeze until my birthday and then I'm buying some Anita Grant?"

i want some too, thanks to Charzboss.
but really i felt bad about buying the oil for several reasons. im not really into things that say they will make your hair grow and i really dont like putting too many things on my scalp. but it just looked so darn good to me. and i realized that this week i will use up yes to carrots conditioner(for detangling), giovanni nutrafix( i plan on using this tomorrow and if there's any left i will finish it on saturday or sunday) and vatika frosting for a HOT. my ojon may be gone too but im not sure yet. if its not gone by sunday i know it wont last past next week, that little bit sure is hanging on though lol.
the reason i said i would do a spree in december is because not only is that my b-day month but by then i will be done with my kbb deep conditioner, kbb hair milk, a nother vatika (maybe) and maybe more. so im trying to stay on track but yall know me
. its hard out there. i feel like these natural lines just be calling my name lol.

I'm trying to keep it simple...emphasis on trying. I really am serious about going into 2010 with only staples so I have to use up all this other stuff first.
I really hope I like the tw mist. Detangling is where I get ALL of my breakage since I'm not gentle enough. I need the comb to just sliiiide through my hair in order to not have breakage.

Charz what were you thinking of getting? Did you look at some of the ingredients. They look good but they are so simple to cost so much. Im going to email her and ask why.

We all need to refocus on our plan......and KIM..... Work Your Plan.
I mean, if you are replacing things you've used up....then it's all good.
But you prolly got 3-4 mo' jars of the same or similar items already in da' stash.
Let's just continue to use (and only replace our basic staples) and wait until the New Year to try "New Product Lines"
Unless something is extra specially "On Sale"
Let's try to keep either using, giving, trading stuff until the end of the year.
And Only Replacing those Staples that are "Must Haves"
And All Start 2010 with a Whole New Perspective.
*runs outta thread*

Actually.....It's Still Quite Fun!
Yeah... I do agree, Che,
about All the "random" miscellaneous purchases. It just doesn't make sense.I love having alot of Staples too. But like you said, It's the "random" items that we need to get control of.
Going into 2010, We should keep our focus on Stuff we really, really want i.e. Anita Grant, whatever it is that we 'truly' enjoy.
And then Plan to purchase those "special" items.
Whether we decide to purchase In Bulk, or However, we all have to go into the Next Spending Cycle with a Plan.

let me know how you like the myhoneychild Shay. i tried some of her stuff a while ago and it was ok at best. i order the afrococo cream and it was watery like more watery than coconut milk. i was like wth? and i had seen a youtube video on that cream where it was actually creamy.

I Just used Anita Grant as an 'example' of stuff you may really, really want but keep buying other stuff instead.
With all the random purchases, IMO, you could just buy what you really want.
erplexed Or Buy a Gallon, Liter of something you know really works for you.
*re: AG ---- yeah, i ain't even gon' fake it, i want 1 or 2 things*

I washed out my dc and the twists will stay. Not one unraveled. They are still holding on. So im going into winter with twists as a protective style. I will prepoo, wash and dc in twists and redo them on wash day. Im happy about finding products that my hair loves. Im going to try and stick to those things. I have switched staples many times and im tired of going around in a circle. As long as my hair is benefitted i need to sit down somewhere.

OT: I was slightly "amused"
at how everybody was running & buying all those silk scarves from NY & Co.
First being: I got a couple about 3 weeks ago actually for $4.99 and gave them to a couple friends as neckerchiefs.
Didn't keep any for myself.
Because I knew I'd end up using it on my head.
Second: I love MY Prettywrap and Can't NO silk, satin scarf ever touch a good night's sleep (unless you're buying the scarves to wear out).

You are so lucky your twists stay in...I'm jealous!
I'm glad you have a regimen and products in mind going into this season
...it always feels good to have a plan of action.I seriously love my prettywrap. That thing doesn't even move at night. And after 2 nights of sleeping with it, I now realize that my hair was drier than it needed to be in the morning when I woke up...now I wake up to super soft hair
