Use 1 Buy 1 Challenge 2009

One day, one day.....There's this product I want to buy that I have the ingredients for but I'm too lazy. Really I'm just spoiled bc I think why make it when I can just buy it?



Were you the one who gave me the idea of purchasing products semi-annually?

I stole the idea from La Colocha :grin:

That total is not bad at all if you plan to buy only 2x/year.

I think she was because we have talked about it. Buying in bulk before winter and then again in the spring. 2x a year.

I'm still planning to do this that's why I want to get this stuff I want to try out now and make decisions. That way my list is set once Black Friday rolls around. My condo people will start making little comments again :lachen:.
 
To the first bolded girl are you serious?:ohwell:

Yep, came back and said she didn't like it :rolleyes:. It's gets like that with Hairveda though. People get all caught up in the hype and lose their minds. Eisani be calling people out too like "I hope I don't see you selling this on the exchange forum later".

I have a spreadsheet template that you can use if you would like :grin:.
 
hey ladies.
the way i have been using my shea butter and coconut oil mix, one jar will be gone soon. granted i do use it all over my body too. i love that stuff. and it makes me glad to know that if for some reason i cant get my hands on products like oyin or kbb i'll still be able to get my shea butter and coconut oil.

Charz you wrong for telling us about the cococream. its on my mind like summetime lmao. i know, corny right.

Im still going to do this too. Its going to be either hairveda or my own ingredients. I only ordered the smallest sizes of butters so i can try them out. I will make my decision in a few weeks. I think i have until labor day to decide.

I saw that one time and i choked on my water:lachen:. Gangsta.

I got the mixing itch from you, im glad that you like your mix. Are you going to continue to make it?

yep. that is a mix i will always keep on hand. and not only that, i will only make it it with the yellow african shea butter. i thought all shea butter was the same as long as it said unrefined but that is not true. im sure they have the same benefits but they do not act the sme on my hair. the unrefined shea butter that is tan in color leaves my hair ashy. this yellow african shea butter already has a shine to it and it just melts into an oil. i love that stuff. i even made my SO buy some and had him in the kitchen mixing and stuff lol.

That's good that your going to stick with making it. I made something today but i had to cheat, I don't have my butters yet so i used some suave. I made rinse out conditioner.

1/2 cup suave
1tsp of glycerin,
1tsp of sweet almond oil
1tsp of apricot kernal oil
1tsp of avocado oil

I have it in my hair still so i will see how it works when i rinse it out. I bought these oils based on their moisturizing properties. I plan on making a rinse out conditioner, a dc and a moisturizer. Only enough for a few uses because i have no preservatives so i don't want it to go bad. I will update here if i make something good.

Girl preach, we ain't havin none of that mess up in here, we come here to relax and enjoy ourselves. Were here to help and support each other. And on to other things i bought some butters from texas natural supply:look:. I thought id slip that in there while yall sleep:lachen:. mango, avocado and aloe for dh. I have an itch to be a mixtress right now and i have another week before i go back to work so:look: im going to play betty crocker and see what i can come up with.

I want to get some oils from them: almond, avocado, castor, coconut, and cherry kernel. I might get a couple of butters to try out. I also have a purchase I need to make from Lotioncrafters.

Im gonna warn you now shipping is high and its fedex. There are 2 choices $11 something and $14 something but i think it stays the same no matter what you get. Bostonmaria had a thread in the vendor forum. I just bought my butters from them and got the oils here on the ground. There are good reviews on the avocado butter, that's why i decided to bite the shipping charges. I also wanted to try the peach kernal oil. I wonder if it smells like peaches. I have apricot kernal that i bought here and it doesn't smell like anything. Sorry so long.
 
Hey t, glad your here.


La, I was just thinking the same thing! :grin:



So, I found a bottle of Lenzi's Request oil with about 25% left. Last week, I started doing scalp massages with it like I used to. So, I'll be using that up soon. I finished a jar of mydelouisenaturals SheaAmla, which I will repurchase in the future, once she gets back up on the 31st. :yep: Can't wait. I'm at work right now, debating on whether or not to purchase the new Coco Creme leave in and some Seyani Butter. :perplexed
 
Oh lawd *screams* cheeeeeeeeeeeeeee noooooooooooooo:lachen:.
hahahaha
i went and looked around. i didnt order anything though. i think im good because i ordered me some books froma amzon so that should keep me covered. i love to read so i pre ordered eric jerome dickeys book which comes out tomorrow lol. i could have just waited one day but you know me...

This works for me, my hair feels nice. If i can pimp out some suave i can do anything:lachen:. Its not a wow omg feel but my hair is noticebly (sp?) softer. And big up's to texas natural supply i ordered last night and i just checked my email and fedex has my box and its on its way. That is what im talking about fast. I can't wait to get my butters, i might add a dolup or 2 to this recipe.
 
Okay I need to stay away from youtube & blogs now. Why are there so many natural product vendors out there???

OT--I am so happy I went into that thread where the girl was upset about her steamer bc it was defective. I figured out I was putting the water in my steamer all wrong. I am sooooo happy now. Shoot I was happy before so this is even better.

Speaking of steamers, lucky's momma was selling a table top for $50.00.
Hmm:scratchch:look:.

At some point I probably will purchase a table top steamer. Yah now I gotta prepare for when I have a man in my life again :look:. See being a pj can come in handy sometimes. I would have enough products to have a stash at his place & mine :blush:.

Look my ex called himself complaining about all my products then was all up in there looking. He did tell me my hair was looking healthier. I ain't go lie he had me greasing his hair too :rolleyes:. I'm terrible with hair types but he is in the 3 range. He also began complaining about me spending too much time on my hair.

The new man will know what's up from the get go.
