Not on here with the new tags and stuff. People tend to be nasty and slick about it. Speaking of blogs did you see americka's she can be a writer.:yep: I could create one through inig ( I think that's what it is) but i would have no idea what to talk about.

Have ya'll seen the Kings of Comedy? Where Cedric the Entertainer says black folx have the "I Wish" mentality. My mom is so like that. Sometimes I am too but in this case I won't be. Meaning rather than saying "I wish someone would put a tag on my stuff or say something nasty..." I will just ignore. My blog is about me. It ain't about you. If you chose to read it, great.

I don't have very many accessories, and jasmines is taking up a majority of my shelf space (its that bad) so i figured i should get one to organize, so it won't seem cluttered. Where do you buy your baskets? I know the craft stores have some beautiful ones for cheap. When i was younger i used to use a hot glue gun to glue fake flowers and stuff to baskets and sell them at the market, I have no idea why i never stopped.

I have separate baskets for body stuff :look:. I've gotten my baskets from a lot of different places. I have Longaberger baskets, plastic baskets with handles, assorted wire baskets I got from my mom or ordered online, and other baskets I've gotten from my mom (can you tell she likes to give me stuff) or from Michael's/AC Moore/Pier 1 Imports.
 
Morning Great Ladies of the Use 1 Buy 1 Nation!:hiya2:

Hopefully, you are all concentrating on what do use-up instead of what to buy-up. JK.:look:

I'm tryna' stay on track w/o getting all the way out there (You Product Junkies know exactly what I mean).:poke: Don't You?

I hope All Is Well with those of You that are Buying your Fall/Winter Essentials and that you are conducting the "Proper Research" on Each and Every Product you are considering purchasing.

So, that You will get the Outcomes and Performance of the Product(s) You Expect.
 
My hair is too soft and moisturized! When I put products in it, I don't get little broken hairs in my hands! I think my hair was suffering from being in a tightly coiled state, too many points of breakage.
 
I really like Shescentit products. She has so many different products in her line, which is great for a PJ like me!

I still am gonna try different things but honestly I think that Shescentit is gonna be my main go to line. And Qhemet.

In any case..

Ms. Americka was sweet enough to send me some Sabino Moisture Block! :grin::grin:

And I got some CHI 44 Iron Guard Thermal Protection Spray off the exchange forum! (yeah that was me)

That's Absolutely Right...........:yep:

If we are going to Lick this thing:lick: (no pun intended) then we have to be making informed decisions on what to purchse & why we are purchasing that particular product, product line etc......

We have to be Smarter. Make Smarter Purchasing Decisions.

And in the Final Anaylsis, End Up with those things that are Producing Goal Driven Results.

Bottomline: "Did this $200.00 Worth of Products, I just bought, get me to more stronger, healthier, shinier more moisturized hair?" Did it relieve Dryness, Breakage, Porosity, Split Ends etc.....

OR

Am I now using it to shave my legs, rinse out my silk scarves, or as a body cream?:look:

I'm looking at everything.:look:

This is why I admire all of the ladies of this challenge. It infuriates me when a $3 or $4 item is virtually worthless, but I can't imagine what my reaction would be to products more than quadruple the cost. I know that it is not always cost effective for the manufacturers, but samples of more products should be available so that (1) we are allowed to test prior to making more of a financial investment and (2) PJism can be curbed to a certain extent.
 
Hey ladies i want to share with you guys how my hair looks with the komaza products. I did not take pics with the tw products i will do that next time. I spritzed my hair last night with the califa care moisture mist, and this morning i used about a quater size of the califa leave in and a fingerful of the califa cream. My hair feels very soft i think this line is a keeper. Except the shampoo:look:.

Here is my hair today, pushed back in a puff, i will never do this again, it hurt so bad, my brain and my sinuses were trapped in the elastic:

Don't mind the big forehead:look::grin:.

But, thanks for the pics. I still want to try the Califa. Your hair looks good. :yep:
 
Ya'll Talking to Brownie Just Inspired me to Go and Pull out all of my Stuff that is 3/4ths Full and Start using it up.

(Which was actually "suppose" to be the Nature of this Challenge) DUH???:look:

So, Imma pull everything out that's open and then Imma Hafta Psyche myself out into thinking those are the only products I own (and have access to).

And I will use them each week until they're Gone. No skipping from product to product. I'm Pulling them All out. And those will be in the Rotation until Gone. *uh....:look:wasn't that what i was suppose to be doing anyway:look:*

I think I can have them all up and outta the way by Novemeber (since I only do my hair weekly).

Hey: If we're gonna be "Junkies" let's at least be Smart Ones.:lachen:

Thanks Brownie518!:yep:

Thanks brownie, i think you will like the line, the conditoner is the bomb and you can dc with it. I love 2 for ones, the leave in and moisture mist is a bit more watery than the conditoner but they all have almost the same ingrediets. The sample set i think is $25 i think. And the cream is pretty nice. Even with coconut oil in it my hair is responding nicely to these products. I just took 4 ibuprofen, as soon as i left my meeting i was pulling that thing off my hair:lachen:.

Thank you t, i wanted to share to show you ladies how things are working for me. And also to document what the products are doing for my hair, these are a repuchase. I have a little of the samples left and im going to use those up this week. Im still determined to do this challenge and buy smarter.:yep: Im too shy to do youtube so ill just share with you ladies.
 
Back to the challenge. Im going to use some silk elements dc today to detangle my hair and plait it back up. Its no where near gone but its time to start rotating and using stuff up. I don't want to forget about stuff. My hair coils and tangles when i wear it out and this is a good product to tame the colochas. It will also give a chance to push using up these komaza samples so ill apply again after i detangle my hair.:yep:

Good Job LaColocha!:up:

I'm determined to re-focus on using up stuff too. That is a Must!

Rotating & Using. That's my strategy heading into October. I've already been out there is Stashville, USA:rolleyes: taking a look and getting stuff ready to go.

So, I'm good. I have some Wonderful Products.........:cloud9:

Good. It Looks Like that thread gave you alot of good ideas about oiling.

It was a really Great Thread and very Popular.

We all have to find our Rhythm and Work It.:grin:

And using up stuff is all part of it.

We have to go into the 2010 Challenge with a completely different mind-set.

At least, I do.:look:
