Use 1 Buy 1 Challenge 2009

[Brownie518]

Hey ladies, how is everyone today? Im doing good on this challenge but im struggling on my body product challenge. Trading one addiction for another. Other than that im doing well and ready to use up more products.

I seriously need to join you on the body product challenge!! I could (and do!!) buy stuff like twice a week. I did good and got rid of most of my excess over the winter and I don't want to accumulate like that again. Jasmine's is killing me, though! After I get this last box, I'm gonna stay off that site until there's a sale.

Anywho, I went to WalMart this morning and got some Clear John Frieda Luminous Glaze. I have some Espresso and the last bit will be used up when I was tonight. I haven't gotten my reup of Aveda DR poo so I might get some Thermasmooth poo and try that out. Anyone using that?

Ok, y'all, I went crazy (on my brfday as T says) and bought a whole bunch of unnecessary product.

Whew, I am worn out. Gonna go take a nap now ...

Awwww....Glad you had a Good Time. You little PJ!

I hope You bought an extra Suitcase? Be Prepared to Pay. Unless you had the store ship it to your house.

*so.....what were the unnecessary products?....inquiring PJ minds....want to know*

Isn't jasmines the bomb, that is my addiction right there. Im going to have to stay away too.

I'm hanging with the challenge. I'm still trying to use up this Redken stuff and my Jasmine's Moisture Renewal is dwindling. I won't be rebuying the Redken, but DD and I are addicted to the sweet smell of Moisture Renewal.

im almost out of my small bottle of suave tropical coconut conditioner. when i purchased it i didnt think i would like it. i love it and will be buying a bigger bottle this weekend because i cannot be without this stuff. i co wash daily and this is my fav co wash conditioner.

here are some of the products i need to use up:
paul mitchell the conditioner
paul mitchell the detaingler
different vo5 conditioner
suave vanilla floral conditioner
carols daughter smothies (i have all three)
blended beuty curl frixx pudding
blended beauty curl styling butter

those are the products that i really dont like but need to use up. i love the paul mitchell but havent used it since i did the big chop.

I have realized I have stuff that I am never going to use up

Oyin Honey Hemp- tried it once yesterday, I am stubborn to the fact that my hair doesn't like glyercin much. sigh. Scratch that off my black friday list....

Hairveda's Whipped Jelly- My fro is to unruly for this to slick it down, even with a scarf

Qhemet's Tea Tree Pomade: Alas, one Qhemet product that I do not adore. The tea tree oil smell bothers me.

Kinky Curly Knot Today and Kinky Curly Curling Custard: I tried I really did, I wanted to love it!

 

[iNicola]

Hanging in there...just finished my CON condish ....I'm not sure what I'll buy to replace this. Probably nothing at all.

 

[La Colocha]

Good job ladies.

Charz and chebaby yall need to go on and sell that stuff on the swap forum. I might have a few things to put on there myself. I would not use something that i did not like. If its not helping you let it go. Che i know you got a gang of stuff you need to sell and im still waiting.

Is the whipped jelly thin? I was going to order this on my next re-up but if it doesn't have that much hold, Im not going to even bother. Right now im using s-curl texturizing gel in the blue and gray jar. It has hold but does not dry flakey, it reminds me of ic fantasia without the protein.

So, You will retire these on to your Cousin correct?

 

[IDareT'sHair]

The Thing I am really Liking About this Challenge, is that it makes you Stop, Take A Look and Really Evaluate Your Stash.

It gives you the opportunity to Critically Think about what Needs to be Replaced and Honestly what Doesn't. And this has been good for Me.

(Even though I messed up earlier in the week).

I still have quite a bit of "stuff" that I am really taking a good, long hard look at. But I love all my stuff. I really do.

I don't ever think I can see myself using one line exclusively. But who knows?

This is a Really Good way to really Evaluate if you are getting the Desired/Expected outcome. I am Glad we are All Committed to Doing This.

Thanks ALL for Being there For Support.

hahahaha. trust me i was looking at some stuff yesterday and i am thisclose to parting with some stuff. esp. the blended beauty stuff. but i have to prepair myself because getting rid of some stuff too fast can cause serious heart problems

It is really thin, its basically glorified aloe vera gel with some thickeners.

I might get rid of some whipped cream and jessicurl, i have to really decide but im going more twards giving them up.

Chebaby you need to stop playin, all those products sitting over there since 1982 with dust on em. Give them up.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

Another thing I Personally Like about this Challenge is that it has become just a Small, Committed Group. We don't have 50-11 People All Up In Here.

And We Can Hold Each Other Accountable. And Put each other on Blast!

So it's Working For Me.

And I Can Keep My Eye On Ya'll.

We're Going to All Get Through This.

 

[Shay72]

I believe Chebaby loves whipped gelly. I love whipped cream. We can keep these xchanges bw family.

I finished up a bottle of AOHSR tonight. I was too focused because I was supposed to do a protein cowash.

That's Right. We will All Get to Where we Want to be---- Together.

I Believe We will All come up out of this Challenge, meeting our Individual Personal Product Goals.

 

[Charz]

Go ahead shay, i need to catch up with everyone, i only have 1 empty bottle under my belt. If i get rid of these things you will definatly know. I love the whipped cream but it works with the weather because of the glycerin and i hate that.

Hmp. Hmp. Hmp. So.....Is this Part of Your Early Birthday Celebrations? Nah....I'm straight. But You Go Ahead and Enjoy!

So far, I've made it to Thursday and Haven't Had: "The Urge"

*i hope that store in baltimore shelves are fully stocked...it's about to jump off up in there saturday*

 

[La Colocha]

Ahh thanks charz but i don't need anything, i was looking at the body stuff earlier. And i remembered all the jasmines i had. I have not used up enough stuff to get more things, but thanks anyway.

haha they were stocked last weekend. Anyway the only reason I'm going is because I am introducing a friend to taking care of her hair the LHCF way and showing her good natural products.

And to feel the consistency of the whipped pudding. And to smell the Honey wash... and spritz some Juices and Berries......
