Day36
I've gotten my bentonite clay from a few places--Whole Foods, Vitamin Shoppe, and from the swap board on here. I believe you can also get it from Amazon and Vitacost.

Rhassoul is morrocan mud. I got mine from Terra Organics. Then I got the cubes from Anita Grant. Now I got the cubes for my hair but I will check her webstie to see if I can use them on my face too. Just checking to see if she added additional ingredients I wouldn't want on my face.
 
Shay72 im starting to think other whole foods are better that nyc's. I NEVER see all these clays and butters in any of them. Im gonna ask next time, but im always searching to no avail. :( thanks for answering though girly!

Oh yeah about the bases. I don't give a flip bc I am way too lazy to be making products. Besides I know I can't make it like they do. They make it look easy but to me it ain't.I have these freaking additives staring at me now like "what you gone do :look:?" I love convenience. I will pay more money for convenience. That's why I love ordering online bc I don't have to leave my house. Target was smart to partner with those "for us by us" companies bc they already get a gang of my money and now they will get more :lachen:. So Target and the online companies have me covered.

I understand this philosophy if they were actually "mixing" stuff up. From the bases I've seen.. they don't add anything but scent oils. Okay so you buy a dropper bottle and some scent oil...swirl it in a jar... DONE.

That's all most of them are doing.. IF they even add the scent... if you all want the unscented.. easier for them. Throw it in a jar and be done. Hell I'm queen lazy.. but pay 60% mark up.. hell to the naw.. I could be using that money towards something else.

Before I found out about the bases.. I stupidly thought they were all making their own products... so yeah I didn't mind waiting ( a reasonable amount of time) and paying a little more. Some add stuff.. some don't..but I am gonna be smart with my money. I guess I'm not that lazy after all.

But to each their own.. I am just like wow.. you make 10 orders for the same stuff to wait 3 weeks when you can get something direct... I just think that's crazy... and will never do that again for things that are bases when I can cut the middle man out and get it faster and fresher.

And again HV is not like the others because they are reasonably priced... but hell for a bucket of sitrinillah.... hmmmm...

Hell with two degrees and a certification .. if I can't put a dropper ful of something in something ..then I need to be ashamed... :lachen:

I have yet to try any of her body products. Jasmines sent me a Shower Gel w/My Order. :grin:

It smells Delish!:lick: I may hafta' check out her/their body products at some point.

Once I get this Hair thing rollin', I can concentrate on Body Products *watch out*:blush:

To me her products don't have that fake smell or plasticky after smell, even though i know they are scented it smells very natural. Not loud and cloying but soft and sexy. Like when the wind blows and a man says damn girl what choo got on, lmao:lol: . Hairveda gives me all of that with her body products.

thank you La. I am going to try one of these as soon as I can get to trader joes. The only one i have is coconut and it can tend to make my hair tad greasy so I am going to try one of the other light oils you suggested.

I think the brand is aura casia(sp) something like that. You can pick it up at any health food store.
 
I really like HV scents. They are better than all the other natural companies to me.

BTW, my HV order arrived yesterday.

As always you are on point Fab. Different strokes for different folks. I know myself. I would be wasting money by buying bases. I'm paying them to buy that base and the oil and put that one drop in that bottle so I don't have to. And I'm paying it bc I can. Covenience is my priority. When I get it I don't want to have to add this, and that, and measurements, etc :nono:. I can do it. I know we all can but no thank you.

Of course this not an across the board issue for me. I don't buy prepared salads but buy the ingredients to make them myself or use the salad bar. I self relaxed for 25 years. It depends. If I want to do it I will, if not I'm more than willing to pay someone to do it.

Oh and practicing for my Level 2 graduation from :poledancer:

Girl, these chillrens 'bout to break me! B-Fast was about $30.00 and then they wanted to get a game a piece for their DS or whatever them thangs are......*rolls eyes hard*:rolleyes:

And then I heard them in the other room scheming about tryna' get to Chuck E. Cheese.:rolleyes: not happening today, anyway, maybe tomorrow before I take them home:rolleyes:

Girl, tomorrow can't come fast enough.:rolleyes:

Get that Steama' together ASAP!:lick:
 
I would not mind buying a conditioner base because i use so much of it. I know they have some ready to use and you just can add oil to it. I could do that.

That place is more than a Notion. :look:

Maybe tomorrow, before I take them home.:ohwell:

I just don't feel it today.:nono:
 
I finally got around to reading Qhem's response to T's questions but what messed it up for me is that Silk lady's post. She is a mess. She worked her products into her post :nono:. She's getting on my nerves.
 
T, I can't take Chuck E Cheese, I work my way out of taking my kids there for parties as often as possible. There is just too much going on there. It makes my nerves bad.
