Use 1 buy 1 Challenge 2009 pt.2

I want to go but a plane ticket for the weekend would probably run me $800 bucks, i love yall but :look:. We are all going to have to meet up some day.:yep:
 
I have hand in hair syndrome today. I did an amla tea rinse followed by that Shikai Everyday Condish last night. I can't stop touching my hair :wallbash:. I went to Safeway and cleaned them out of that condish today..well I did leave 1 there :giggle:.
 
Anybody know about black tuesday? I posted it in charz budget thread. Isn't that the online sales day?

They had some good black monday sales last year.

La, I was thinking about getting a case of JBCO, too, but the one bottle lasts me soooo long. IDK...

I finished a bottle of Aphogee 2 Minute tonight. After reading La's post, I DC'd with my Elucence and it was wonderful. I fell asleep watching the Cavs and the Heat and it came out great!!!

Hey ms b. i thought everyone was asleep. Im trying to get dh to use some jbco too so i can have an excuse to get a case:look:. I need to know the shelf life also. I don't want to buy a case and have it mold or go bad, that would be a waste. Im glad that you liked the elucence to dc with it is some good stuff. Next time you should try it with some jbco, i just put some on my hand with the conditoner and it was easy to apply.
 
:yep: Yes, ma'am. I used a little JBCO with my DC. I do once in a while. I use it for everything, it seems. :grin:

Hmm, I wonder what the shelf life is???

The monday after Black Friday is usually called Cyber Monday, I think. My SO wants a mini laptop like mine so that's the only thing I'll be looking out for.
 
man i cant wait to deep condition this weekend so i can add some jbco to it. yall got me thinking about it now lol.

tonight im gonna run a little giovanni direct leave in through my hair with some coconut oil. then im gonna put in some chunky braids using ohm sweet hair pudding and hope my braid out turns out as cute as it did last time. it wont be as defined since im doing it on dry hair but still....
 
So I am really thinking about cutting my hair into a short bob. I had some breakage over the summer and the whole thing is so frustrating. I am going to try and hold out until March to see what happens but I had a dream that I cut it myself into a cute bob. LOL.

I just need to find a pic and someone to cut it.

I called SAMS last year and asked what the shelf life was but all they said was that it does not go bad so I looked on FNWL site and the shelf life of Castor oil is 2 years so that is what I go by. Another site stated that it has a shelf life of 3 to 4 years. I err on the side of caution and use the 2 years as my rule. If you manage to find anymore information please let me know

I add it to pre-poos, hair oil concoctions and I also often use it to moisturise my feet especially the heels. I have not tried it in my body butters yet as I have loads of coconut oil to use up first but plan to try them in body butters sometime in the future

If you can, share the case with other members or friends. I have just ordered my 3rd case and each year I normally share with 3 other members on NP but this year two of them said that they still have enough from last year. I have shared it with friends in the past also but if they do not want the spare bottles I have, I will offer them on the Exchange Forum for UK ladies here to buy
 
I finally used up my bottle of Aubrey Organics White Camellia conditioner. I love its thickness and moisture factor, but detest the scent. I will only repurchase if I can find it locally.
 
Re: The Shelf Life of JBCO: I tend to agree with RoslindB. It is actually a 'medicinal' product and not so much a 'food' product....so I think the Shelf Life would be a bit longer?:look:

It probably has a shelf life of a regular Castor.:look:

You actually may be able to get it cheaper at vitaglo.com rather than locally.

Their shipping is super cheap and their prices are cheap too. Check them out and compare first.:yep:

You would probably be able to get it locally from: GNC (not sure), The Vitamin Shoppe, Whole Foods, Trader Joe's or speciality Health Food Store in your Area etc.....

But I would call first and get a price and then look it up on vitaglo.com:yep:

Thanks rosalind i tried to google the shelf life last night but could not find anything. I was going to try sams but you already checked. It has to have a shelf life because i think it contains water. I was going to mix it with some of my butters to make hair butters but if it contains water they might go bad. Ill just stick to mixing it in my hands i don't have any preservatives on hand so i don't want to waste anything. It might be a good idea just to get a few bottles and not a case.:yep:

Good job americka, keep it up. and as t said check your local natural food stores. I have one here that is not a chain store but they carry all of the aubrey organics, actually there are 2 stores here. That is how i found the desert jay and the gpb. I tried them before i joined the forum.:yep:

Ill go with rosalinds suggestion also because on the sams site it says that the jbco is not mass produced but im seeing a few companies carrying it, the tropical isle brand. I don't want to call the man a lie but:look: you can find that brand on 3 or 4 different sites and i know some bss carry it. And we don't know how long the bottles have been out there. 2 years is a very safe bet.:yep:
 
I am going to use cassia tonight, DC with AOWC and then twist my hair. I am determined to perfect my twist out.
 
I do the twist and curl method La. My ends don't stay twisted well.

I wanted to try the ayurvedic herb poo bar from chagrin valley. But I wanted the carrot milk and honey too. It was out of stock until today but now the ayurvedic bar is out of stock. :wallbash: I ended up ordering the carrot milk and honey and the babassu and marshmallow :perplexed

Did it state a date of when it will be back in stock. It should not be too long, she probably has another batch curing.:yep:
 
Ladies crown essentials has some fast shipping. I don't know if its because its already ready or what but i just ordered my jbco and it will be here today.
 
I got my jbco yay, it was wrapped secure. I saw my mailman too. I love him:love:. He said he was ready to retire. I told him he can hold on for a few more years:look:. The other mail people suck:lachen:. And he is fine too:lick:. He better not go no where.

La, I think it will be back in stock Dec 12, I may get it then.

Yep i know ida has a good buisness and you won't have to wait too long. She just may not have anticipated the response to the ayurvedic bar. Get you a few when she gets them up again.:yep: I try to get a few of somethings that i like so i won't run out or have to wait if its oos.
