She has a 5% off coupon and she is closing up shop from september 1-15.

I wanted to buy this in time for my birthday, which is 9/25. I was worried :perplexed.

I was gonna buy the new iphone for my birthday which is 400 dollars even with my equipment upgrade. But my job gave me a blackberry lol. So I think that this present to myself is better. :lachen::lachen:

*runs outta thread rationality screaming*

Yeah. I didn't pull out the Big Guns i,e. (Food Processor) when I was a Mixtress. I used the Blender for everything and it worked well because of all the different speeds. The Avacado Stuff I was making and the Banana Stuff. I even did the Lime, Honey, Coconut Milk thingy too. Not to mention, Yogurt, Molasses, Conditioner, Egg etc....

Chile' I stopped all that Mixin'......it was getting to be too much like Cookin':rolleyes:

What are you planning on Mixin' Up?

I used to mix too. I felt empty inside because i like trying new products.

Its like getting your feet done (which I don't btw) You can do your own pedicure, but its such an experience for someone else to do it for you, to be spoiled :grin:.

Well.....she says on her site that then she will start processing the orders she receives during that time, first come first serve. And the time she would get to mine it would be too late :perplexed

:giggle:

I, myself, am holding out for the HTC Touch Pro 2 to come to Spring. :look: Should be around Sept. 3.
Soooo, 5%, huh?
 
I'm not allowed to buy Afroveda. I've got too many of her products here that I haven't even used yet. I shop like you Char. I do a haul. I'm buying everything I want at once from a site.

I reassessed the Sitrinillah situation and I will try to hold out until she comes out with hydrasilica and the acv rinse. I'm trying to cut down on shipping costs and number of orders too.

I just finished a jar of BPT Wheat Conditioning Cream. I had to dig into my 1 backup. I will repurchase. My hair always feels soft but strong after using this. I need to do some research. I only have a handful of products that I don't get from the what I call the "For Us By Us" Coalition (Hairveda, Jasmine's, Qhemet, Afroveda, Oyin, Njoi Creations, etc) and I'm trying to see if I can get this handful from only 1-2 online retailers. We'll see.
 
im planning on mixing bananas, honey and coconut milk or oil. i may even add in my avocado oil because im tired of looking at that too so it needs to be gone lol.


i cant wait to get home and use my shea and coconut oil mix. im really in love with that stuff man. i should have added honey. oh well.
actually the mix is still soft and i have 2 jars so i may add the honey to the less full jar just to see how it does. yep, dats wat im gonna do yo(wth lol).


ETA: i ordered my two afroveda butters and i didnt know about no 5%. oh well. thats just her way of trying to get me to make another order. but i aint fallin' for it afroveda lady lmao.

This challenge has really changed my ways and im glad. Im pondering not ordering off the net any more but we will see. I love hairveda:look: so this is going to be a long thought.

I know! I wanted to try the Methi Sativa and had my order ready but I really need to wait until Vatika Frosting season. And depending on the ingredients the new products she is gonna offer too.


Guilty as charged. I don't think I will ever not be a product junkie. But really what is the definition of one? Because I use all of my products up. I mean yeah, I buy sometimes allot of stuff and I am very heavy handed and curious but really?

Can you guys tell me what a PJ is? Is it bad when you hair is your hobby and you spend money to fund that hobby?

It's funny you ask this. I was watching Traycee's new video on yt. I believe she was updating her regimen. Anyways she stated she believes there are two types of pjs. One that buys any and every thing and the other type that stocks up on what she really likes. I know I fall into the last category. I'm a researcher too and I only try new things that I feel my hair needs. I think you & I are the same in that way Char. I wish I knew more about ingredients though.

I absolutely think there is nothing wrong with spending money on your hair hobby. As long as it is not a detriment to you or your hair I say do you. I will do me all day every day. Shoot the girls at my job are always trying to do interventions. Asking why I buy so much, etc. But you don't hear that talk when I'm giving stuff away :rolleyes:. One of them will not have to buy Patene for a good 2-3 years because of me :lachen:.
 
^ Thank you Shay. If you want I can help you in regards to analyzing ingredients.

I know that natural products are expensive but think of all the health care costs that you will save down the line from avoiding potentially cancerous/harmful ingredients.

For Example, ever since I took sulfates and mineral oil/petroleum outta my life I have no dandruff! I used to have to scratch it out everyday with a fine tooth comb! I guess it was my body's sign to stop and detest,

When I did a no buy for hair products, I started buying tons of other things like makeup and clothes which I have never spent much money on before. So I guess my shopping money has to go somewhere....lol

With haircare products I just make sure I don't buy stuff just because there is a rave on the forum or because a person with long hair uses it in her regiment.

In doing my research I can get my handful of products from www.vitacost.com and www.beautyofnewyork.com. They both have fast shipping and we have a discount code with Beauty of New York.

LC--I see Beauty of New York has a 32 oz of S-Curl for $9.99. The discount code takes money off shipping.

Shay (and/or others): What is the Discount Code for BofNY? I may need it in the future for my Salerm 21 B5 and my Alter Ego........Thanks:yep:
 
Beauty of New York (www.beautyofnewyork.com)
The promotion code is LKNGH385DE (for discounted shipping amount of $5.95).
Discount applied towards purchases of $80 or more.

There is a sticky with discount codes on the top of this forum section btw.
 
I Used up a 12 pack of Fermodyl 619. It took me 2-3 months, seeing how I only do my Hair Weekly. On a couple of occasions, I did my hair 2 times a week.

I already had another 12 pack waiting in the Cut.:look: This is a Staple.:yep:

*Big Shout Out to Vatika Frosting..Why did I wanna reach for a Spoon*:lick:

I thought so too but I tell you when you read blogs you are always finding out about new products to try. I still need to try Darcy's Botanicals, some people on etsy, and I have my sample from Hydratherma Naturals to try.

ETA--I will probably be ordering from Claudie's today.

See the link above for Claudie's. Brownie says you order by e-mailing your order through fotki. They then send you a paypal invoice. I plan to order the protein deep condish and the edges balm. I hear the edges balm is the bomb!!! Edges have always been an issue for me because I used to get braids back to back. Also when I growing up I would always get those braids with the beads on them too.

From Darcy's --Madagascar Vanilla Styling Cream, Coconut Lemongrass Transitioning Cream, Daily Leave In, Herbal Leave in Spray. Che did a review on her blog about the Vanilla styling cream. She likes it.

I have been at this place for a while. See my problem is that i can't use coconut oil or proteins so i am very limited on what i can use. Everyone uses coconut oil in their products and that leaves me with really no other place to go. That's why i love hairveda because she customizes product for me when no other company would do that.

I am boycotting certain product lines like KBB and unnatural ingredients so I am too limited.

It's really nice that BJ will customize stuff for you.
