if not then i won't get anything

That's what I'm talking about. I ain't "pressed."

For me, it would really feel good continuing to use up stuff.

And make that an on-going habit well into the New Year.

*will definitely keep anita grant close on my radar tho'*

 

[msa]

I always give because i know what god has done for me.

That's why I think it's so important to give. I know y'all do as many products as y'all send out (thanks Terri!!).

So many folks are hitting up food banks right now, it's crazy. It really upsets me to think about it.

As a Small Child My Mother Always Instilled in Us to Help the Poor/Give.

Faith Mission (which is a Local Shelter) I have Provided Thousands of Dollar throughout the Year as well as Clothing, Household and other Items. As well as the Salvation Army etc....

In fact, for Thanksgiving, I made a Sizable Charitable Contribution to Feed over 60 Homeless Families.

I have Fed the Homeless for about 20 years,and also participate in a group called: Project HELP which provide Emergency Shelter, Food, Clothing for Families in Need.

It makes me Angry to msa. In this Country, No one Should be "poor" or "homeless"

You are so right about the bold.

For the last couple of years, instead of giving christmas gifts, I give donations in the person's name to the local food bank and shelters. I buy stuff in bulk in then make a box with shampoo, conditioner, toothpaste, toothbrushes, shower gel, socks, and maybe a couple of other things. Those types of things are especially needed at the shelters for women and children.

They need all of that stuff msa. I am also a Big Proponent of Hats & Gloves, Blankets especially here where it can get down to sub-zero temperatures.

I also think "kindness" should be extended towards Our Seniors too. I will pay for someone's groceries behind me in line or their meal (if I'm led at a restaurant).

I heard on PBS a while back that America is The Only Country A Person Can Work Full Time and Still Be Poor.

And it's so true. And sad. That things are geared toward Corporate Greed.

 

[Charz]

Your hair looks really beautiful.




You have really good eyes, I didn't even notice the baby.



Ya'll are terrifying...I wanted to try some qhemet and KBB stuff, and I can already see that if I'm going to get anything, I will have to order at like the exact moment that the sale starts.

Lol, I am off on Black Friday. I will be ordering at 12am, and then going out with my lil cuz Taylor to camp out at coach or express.

HOLD UP! Qhemet's Starts at 7 a.m.? Correct?

I may have to give you my Phone # so you can Wake Me Up at Midnight!

I might be making a trip to Starbucks for a Redeye!

Ooo I hadn't thought of hats/gloves/blankets/scarves. That's a great idea. It's not like it's freezing in la but it still gets pretty cold at night, especially for those who can't afford heat. And target always has those cheap 3 packs of gloves for a dollar around this time.

And you're right about Seniors. They are doing just as badly as other folks as far as income goes and what's worse is they are generally more isolated. I know during summer out here there's a group that goes around and runs errands and stuff for the seniors so they don't have to go out in the heat and risk heat stroke or dehydration.

Yeah your right about the 7am. I will be back home by then . Last Qhemet sale I was in training in Atlanta, so I just ordered off my blackberry! So if all else fails!

La: I just rubbed in some Olive Butter! I really like it!

You turned me on to the butters, they are so nice and so simple. There are just so many of them. You have to find the ones you like and stick with them. And they are cheap and last a long time. Like the dc that i made was the best ive ever tried and it was simple ingredients. Its not exactly a kiss reggie but maybe a super kiss, ill make up my own.

I am working up my Regimen for This Friday today. My Hair time was cut down last night.

I wanted to do the GPB Under the Heat Cap, Steam longer etc...

BabyBoy said my hair looked cute last night. Since I did my Hendigo, I may just really focus on Moisturizing this week.

Will continue to use the Nutrine Garlic Conditioner for Co-Washing. I really liked the GPB under the Heat Cap.

It felt GREAT! May do this again.

Maybe I'll do that and then DC with Something Moisturizing, either Keratase or maybe AE Garlic (still working on trying to use these 2 up) Will definitely cut open the Butter Treat and use that up with either one of those.

No I Didn't PUSHA! You Originially Brought TNS Up in Here.

I just bought a variety and you just bought like the Avacado & a Coupla' others.

You're Right. There are. They Are. And they Do!

*may pull the sample butter of the coffee i got from che back out*

Be careful you don't over moisturize your hair. GPB is far more moisturizing than it is protein, add heat, and then follow that with another moisturizing dc and you may be setting yourself up for a problem.

 

[Charz]

Now I can get away with washing every two weeks. I need to use less product. My hair feels more moisturized and fresh.

I might have to give up Qhemet's AOHC and switch to her BRBC.

I have learned so much about my hair during this challenge. Thanks LC.

You should try it, i tried the jbco and im ok.

Your right the gpb made my hair almost mushy and i thought it was protein. maybe moisturizing proteins? It was a little greasy too.

Thanks for the GPB tip msa! I always start working through it and by Friday, I almost always completely change out products.

Good to know about GPB tho'.

How many times a week do you add product to your hair? And is the heavy cream too heavy?

You're right! You Tried Jamacian Black Castor Oil!

It's Good too!

I tried the Coffee Butter a coupla' days (and put it away). I may try it again (once it gets much colder) because everyone said can help stave off 'shedding'

I used and Finished my sample of the AOHC I got from you (thanks Charz).

I really liked it. And decided to purchase another "sample size" during the Sale.

It really worked well managing my NG

I have a 'sample' of the Burdock Root I ordered a while back, but haven't used it yet.

I think this is my 3rd week prepooing with it and i do have a little less shedding. I don't know if its the coffee butter, the hibiscus oil or is it from changing my products. But ill see when winter comes. I don't shed alot anyway, but it was less than normal when i detangled.

 

[Charz]

Since I did my twists on Tuesday, I haven't had to add anything to my hair, I have been wearing a twistout since Saturday and my hair is still soft, with just a bit of Shescentit CocoCream Leave-in and Jane Carter Twist and Lock. That's all.

It seems as though the water based moisturizers make my hair feel softer and more weightless then the heavier stuff. I have thick hair, but maybe that doesn't mean I need thick product.

I wanna wash my hair only twice a month, henna once every 6 weeks, and to have a low manipulation regimen. It seems as all the long haired ladies, especially the features of the month have very simple techniques.

No it doesn't mean you need a thick product. I can't remember the thread name but it talked about strands of hair like thick, fine and medium. Like you may have thick hair but fine strands and too much product can dry the hair out as much as using too little. You have to find a medium for your hair type. If i remember what it was i will post the link.
