That's My Daily Mantra Too.
*cough* umm, I must confess that I just sent a PM to purchase two of my staples from the exchange board.
Do I get credit for my honesty?

I thought the the price of the products were pretty cheap, This isn't a no buy, sales or discounts can be taken advantage of
. Its up to each person.IDareT'sHair

Girl, I said something Very, Very Similar that's why it's so Funny. I wasn't suppose to by buying A Thing In July AND August.
And Within a Coupla' Days After I said it: I lost My Mind..it wasn't a pretty sight. I freaked out on the Buying.
That's why I find it so humorous. Like You, I Came Humbly into this Thread Right Away And Confessed my Wrongdoing. And It really Helped. (I haven't bought anything this past week).It is a Process. That's for sure.
But I think, If we Confess it, it Helps us to be Mindful the Next Time.

Yeah, I know. It's all good. I'm trying, though. Shoot, I wanted to get more than I actually did but I stopped myself. I should definitely be okay with all my staples for the next few weeks, some longer. And, I have quite a few more conditioners and stuff to use up.2 Vatika Frostings (don't know how since I don't use it anymore)
1 CHI Infra Treatment (I'll mix this with other stuff, I guess)
1 Dudley's Hair Repair
1 Roux Mendex (which I like so I will def. repurchase at some point)
1 Aphogee 2 minute
1 Komaza Herbal Tea Rinse
1 Oyin Honey Hemp
1 Jasmine Shea Butter Rinse
1 Alter Ego Coconut cond.
These I have out where I can see them so I can remember to use them up.
Anyway, I definitely like the spirit of this Challenge. Everybody's cool and good-natured, the way it should be. Nice

I know just how you feel. With this Challenge, I can definitely

This morning I finished the last of my Blended Beauty Cleansing Conditioner and I'm about to use the last of my SheaAmla Creme from www.mydelouisenaturals.com. I'll eventually get more of the SheaAmla, but not now. Gotta make ya'll proud. Nothing for the rest of the month.
ETA: I just remembered I used the last of my Redken AntiSnap last week. I will surely be reupping on that, BUT not until this month is done. I love that stuff! Excellent detangler!!
Oh, and I finished a bottle of Garnier Sleek & Shine serum but I already have a backup of that goodness.

Hey charz, good job on the aohc. Was this the first time you've tried oyin? When i used the whipped pudding before i loved it and then not even 2 weeks later it stopped working for me. I think that and the conditoner have protein in it.
Yeah, I have tried it every day since I got it on Saturday but you are right. I need to wait like 2 weeks before I buy it in bulk. I did not like the conditioner either, it made my hair feel like straw, prolly from the aloe vera and glycerine.

2 ounces is a Really Nice Size "Sample" Did you like it? Is it something you plan to repurchase?

Geesh! I might as well join this challenge but I can't say that Iwill be buying anything yet. In fact, I used up 4 conditioners all within one week, 2 v05's, 1 David Babaii, and a Nioxin Masque. I had a heavy henna and DC weekend. I will be henna'ing weekly for the next 2-3 weeks as well, then I'll be back in braids. I can't handle my 6 months post hair for too long without braids.
The problem with using stuff up while I'm in braids will take a very long time because I don't use too many products while in braids, so we'll see.

I've been awful!! Oh the shame! Too many sales, so little time. It's not even all here yet. I've been avoiding this thread like the plague, even though I'm like the THIRD person on the challenge!! Thank god everything was on sale.
So I went through this weekend and pulled to the front everything that was 50% or more used. I'm such a junkie, and have SO MANY new things to try, that I figured I'll to a use old, use new, until the old is used up. I wash twice a week, so I'll do a new moisture DC on Wednesday and an old protein DC on Saturday. Next week I'll switch. That allows me to use up some of these old products without putting on hold my new ones forever. And now I'm back on track, but I think I need to do a use 3, buy 1. I mean, I really went overboard.

Ladies Of This Challenge--Personally, You know One thing that Really Helped Me Tremendously? Is NOT Going in the "What Did You Buy This Week" Thread.
It always seemed when I Stayed Up In There, (which I did) I Always Had the Urge to Buy Something. Now, I don't go in there as much, and I am Not "As" Tempted to Buy.
Don't know if that Makes Sense or Not, But That Particular Thread Was Kinda Like A Trigger For Me.
And I know If I am going to Stick to this thing, I Cannot Go Up In There Alot.
