Use 1 buy 1 Challenge 2010 pt.1

I used up an Elasta QP Mango Butter this morning. I have one more to finish then I can try the new formula!

I must be strange, I have eczema but I also have oily skin :lol:
 
In June as a treat to myself for curbing my addiction I am going to get myself some Alter Ego Garlic Conditioner, I know I should Already have had this in my stash, I wanted the Alter Ego Cren drops even more at the time. I have used up and not replaced things, but I still want to push this as a June treat for behaving. :) I have already earned myself one ORS Replenishing pack I haven't cashed in on yet. :)

Morning,
My 6 year old just got his first bout of eczema, I gave him an oatmeal bath and I now have to keep cortizone in the closet. I also have him use Oil of Olay which helped my other son and his has yet to return. It soothed his eczema so far and I am just waiting for the scaley look to go away. :(

Poor baby, I have been through alot of medication and the best thing you can do for him is to find what is irritating him. Now back in my day it was not allergys eczema is unknown but in the past 10 years they are finding more irritant like: dust, pet dander, mold, perfumes, wool, grass, and weeds. I have had 2 allergy test and all of those came up positive. My family did not/would not believe I was allergic to the belove pet. What you'll find as he get's older he may grow out of eczema but something will trigger a response. I can go into someone house and after couple of hours start to itch, unfortunetly for me it dusty, moldy house. If you have carpet it hard to get rid of dust mites, or get rid of it out of fabric furniture. Ok, I'm sorry to rant but it my passion to tell others with younger love one because it been lifestyle for me and I just want to share. Try Eucerin calming cream, oh that is the best at night for itching. When it's too hot we itch and scratch at night, and get some claritin it helps too. Ok I'll stop, PM me anytime. Kiss him he really can't help when he itch.
 
Morning Ladies........:grin:

Hope everyone is having a Great Day today. I just got finished massaging in some JBCO.

Will hopefully be relaxing on April 2nd. My Regi is all written out. So, I am ready.:yep:

Since that major Salon set-back, I always get a little 'nervous' & 'antsy' when relaxing time rolls around.:blush:

That's one reason why stretching has been good for me. (At least now, the Salon is out of the equation):rolleyes:

This is me too! For my last relaxer, I covered the relaxed hair with John Freida Frizz ease, argan oil, and vaseline. I no longer put oil in the relaxer because it leaves me woefully underprocessed and I switched relaxers.
 
hi ladies.
i am about to pre poo with ors replinishing, evoo and honey.
i used the natures brew hair butter last night, i just tookoff my scarf and my hair is soooo soft. its a keeper. aloe gel is the first ingredient so i bet it would be great for twists.

I'll stretch out a twist when she washes it out and twists her hair up tonight :).

She doesn't DC, only uses shea butter and twists her hair every 3-4 weeks. She trims her hair every 2 months while it is in twists, she doesn't like the crunchy feeling.
 
i didnt use evoo in my pre poo because im being lazy.
i have been so tired lately, idk why. i go to sleep like 4am and still for some reason wake up at like 9am. idk whats wrong with me. for the past 2 weeks i just cannot stay sleep.
so besides doing my hair im staying in bed all day.
 
Hey ladies. Whats going on with everyone? Che, sorry you cant sleep :kiss: Nervous or stressed about anything? I hope not. Perhaps, a change in your routine? Or, I know if I take my vitamins too close to bed time, I'll be up for a looong time
 
nothing much is going on over here. Im trying to decide if Im going to go to Target. They have Garnier shampoos for $2.75 and some other shampoos on sale. I really have to keep on keeping on with saving my money. I might have to stop buying products online for a while!

Robot, why wont you use the Sabino? Didnt work well for your hair?

OT: saw your post in boingboing's thread and just wanted to say that I use Alba products too. But, I have used the cleansing milk, the scrub she posted, and the sea moss moisturizer. I love them. Constant use of the products (along with rotating my own mask) has helped my face greatly. I think Shay uses them too.

I do and I love Alba. I have extremely dry skin too. For a cleanser I use african black soap and it is not drying at all. I am thinking of trying one of Jasmine's cleansers to have a creamy one as an alternative.

LOL @ you and your bunch of sabinos when youre about to get a baldie. lol. I think youd look gorgeous with it though. Whatever you choose to do, I think youll be alright. :)

It is a milk consistency. Well, not really. LOL. It's thinner than jelly but not as thin as cow's milk IMO. I think you'd appreciate it. It's about $9.99 @ whole foods for about 6oz if I am not mistaken. I like it. I dont use it every day as I also do masks and scrubs. I bought it in October and still have a good month or so out of it. It is very gentle on my sensitive, dry, acne prone skin. Yes, my skin is confused.
Oh and a cheap alternative cleanser is AV jelly, honey, and olive oil. I do masks with this mixture. I aim for 3x a week (alt with scrubs), but you know how that goes.

I will give this cleanser recipe a try too.

I finished a bottle of shikaki oil and a I have a few back ups. I also used up a sample of Jasmine's Babassu Cream Xtreme Conditioner.
 
Hey Ladies......What Ya'll Doing???:look:

Wondering what Imma use up within the next week or 2? :sekret:

Hopefully, something...:ohwell:

Imma Push it in April to get a few things up & outta here.....:bye:
 
i just rinssed out my pre poo. i didnt shampoo or co wash it out, just rinsed and then slathered my hair in vatika frosting. thats new for me. i never put oil on wet hair before a leave in, infact i didnt even use a leave in. i just wanted to try something new.
i also decided that instead of using oyin s&d im going to use the natures brew hair butter. i might mix it with qhemet gel if it doesnt have hold.
ETA: the hair butter doesnt have water in it so im kind of nervous to use it without a leave in but people use shea butter without a leave in so it cant be that bad.

I remember some time in college I used BT religiously. One day I had my hair pressed and I was like....wow...thats my hair? I stopped using it because of the smell. Im trying it again and so far this is week two. I smelled it last week and my co-worker did too :blush:....I just blamed it on something else. I used it on Friday and since I dont smell it anymore, I added more today!.

BeeMine Smells Good. They have Kiwi and/or Strawberry in the Serum w/Sulfur.

I don't know which 'sample' Che sent me (I think Kiwi) but it smelled good.:yep:

IK you said you want to cut down on On-Line Purchases, but I'm telling you, that Lucious Balancing Creme is :lick: and the serum is wonderful too.
 
must.resist.the.temptation.to.make.more.online.purchases...

after I finish the njoi creations ayurvedic butter with sulfur, Ill give the BM a try.

Im interested in NTM products. Im going to see if I can exchange my HV cocasta oil for something in the line.

I'm bout to go under the dryer once my mother is done with it. I just washed and detangled my hair. I used my Denman and I took out 4 rows of the teeth. This makes my Denman experience so much better! I think it's a keeper!

I will be doing a protein treatment under the dryer.
