Use 1 Buy 1 Challenge 2009

[La Colocha]

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.erplexed

Really? My trigger is boredom, when im bored i always get the itch to buy something and it doesn't help that i check different sites everyday for sales.

I think it is different things for different people. I actually like going in there and living vicariously through them. I'm still good with not buying bc picking a cowash condish was a mess tonight. I actually picked one that I have never used before.

My trigger is boredom also. I'm always on the internet at home. The tv is background noise.

Well, as we all know from my *cough* recent transgressions , I too have been in the "What did you buy this week?" thread and I'm always in there looking around, bein all nosey. I see things folks have gotten and I'm like, "Ooooh, I've always wanted to try that!" or "That sounds soooo good!!!" I guess I didn't even think of that. I'm gonna stay out of there, too!

But, boredom gets to me a lot, too. I don't stay on the computer too much, but if I get bored, I get right on there and start cruisin' the hair care sites for sales and whatnot. Gotta stop that, too.

by the end of this week i should be finished with my first bottle of kbb hair milk. the problem with that is i have 4 back ups and 3 on the way(it was a sale). i will also be done with my suave tropical coconut conditioner this week too. im almost out of my honey hemp conditioner but im holding on to that last ounce or two. i cant let it go lol.

I think I'm a cross between Terri and Shay. Some things I see in the "what did you buy this week" thread are so tempting and when I go to the stores I'm seriously considering buying the products. With other products, I simply enjoy other people enjoying them. BTW, I just finished a bottle of VO5. Yay! I've got my staples, now I want to play with them and add things to them like SAAs and other things. In the words of Emeril Lagasse, I just want to kick it up a notch. Ya know?

Brownie! I'm So Glad You Feel Me.oke:

Me Staying Up In There was Causing Me to Spend More Money. Now that I don't visit there as much, the "Urge" to Spend isn't as strong.

I still check in there from time to time, but I'm not "IN THERE" Everytime Someone "Bumps" It --- Like I was Before.erplexed

Yes, Please Join.

We can at least help you use up your Current Stash as you begin to transition to more Natural Based Products (or whatever your Goal is). To Help you scale back or whatever you are trying to accomplish.

I know you want to stick with Mizani & Joico as well as implement Your Natural Based things.

Gotta Warn You......We're all PJ's and sometimes we are not the "Best Influence" at times.

But Would Love For you to be Part of Our Group.

Thanks for the warm welcome and warning Terri. I have been pretty good at not purchasing anything this month - only necessities so far. I have been wanting some stuff like indigo but I thought, "Aggie you're hiding your hair, what you need color for?" So I have been fighting a lot of urges lately. It's a work in progress for me and it's hard.

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

I hate to tell YOU this . It was soooo good, I'm sorry that I held back by only purchasing the sample. The consistency was much thinner than HSR, even a tad bit thinner than Camellia, but still rich and creamy. My rinse out was silky smooth.

Uh oh, here we go!! Gonna get T in trouble!!

(as I give thought to the product in question )

No, really, I'm being good. I haven't been on a single site that sells anything related to hair, or body, even.

 

[Shay72]

Finished the V05 and am halfway through Jasmine's Moisture Renewal. I got another one that I will use up too. I'm sure I will finish both this week or next. The bottles aren't that big, they are liquidy, and as usual I am heavy handed.

 

[Charz]

Finished my Suave Milk and Honey. I will not be repurchasing seeing that it is discontinued!

I decided to break out a pad of paper so I can keep track of the items I have used. I am up to 6 now ! I still haven't made it to Sally's yet. I get in my car and it just drives me home. I think it is trying to tell me something.

So I go to Sally's today and there is no parking. I circled the lot & left. Again maybe it is a sign.

I finished Jason's Biotin Condish today. I really like it but I won't repurchase. Again I am trying to cut down my cowash condishes. I can get the same size (16 oz) Mill Creek Biotin for about $1.60 less. Like I said the smallest thing can get you cut!

Good job, Shay! I finished a bottle of Pantene today. Another bottle is waiting to be used.

The bolded is on my wish list to order for my B-Day in October. I may have to order it a month early to get it on time. I also need to crack open my Mill Creek Keratin poo and con to see how I like them.

Hey che you've been using up your products, are you doing use 1 buy 1. Or are you trying to stay away from buying products? Because you can buy 1 if you use 1.

Come on Che, you can resist that crazy urge girl. Just think of how good you'll feel when you've used up something else to make room for other stuff. I am using some stuff up to make room for some Joico products and that is a good feeling for me. I am using up about 8 things and purchasing 1 for every 8 items I use up/give away. Before long, I will feel so much better and have so much space available for other things I need the space for.

 

[chebaby]

thanx ladies. well i did just sale about ten products. i didnt use them but they are gone lol. so i guess i can justify purchasing one item.
