Use 1 Buy 1 Challenge pt.4

What ????? :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

I Hate That! :rolleyes:

Me & Elle Ain't Got Nothin' Yet:nono: That's terrible.:sad:

I wonder if Hanan Got Hers?

Thanks, T. No KBB yet :pyro:

eta: Everytime I've ordered, there was no shipping notice. Matter of fact, my orders in Aug and Sept still say processing on her website. This one will just come as a surprise like the others.

I used the BFH shea almond coconut DC. I love her conditioners, my hair feels so great. I really like the asian cleansing pudding too.
 
I think I'm finally getting sleepy. Trying to get back on a day/night schedule is hard.

Going to rinse out this DC and then let my hair air dry. Will retwist in the morning. Some of them were coming out in my looser textured areas.
 
Had to play catch-up! Finished reading 20 pages....

Hair products used up:

8 oz. myhoneychild.com Organic Shea Butter Hair Paste
16 oz. hairveda.com Sitrinillah deep conditioner

Have one more use of an 8 oz jar of Karen’s Body Beautiful Hair Butter (It’s now called Butter Love). I bought 2 back in May when they were still 8 oz. I love, love this butter. Too bad she decreased the size and raised the price. I have one more jar left and YES, I would buy it again if it were 50% off. And it would be a staple if the size and price was right!

Still have not received my conditioners from KBB nor received a shipping notice.

The no-buy is going fantastic. I had a few panic-twitches 1/01/11, but I’ve calmed down since then and haven't any cravings for anything! Just waiting on ayurnaturalbeauty.com to have a sale--- if she ever has a sale....wanna get the red pimento oil....

That 10% off Ori is a joke.....not that I was ever gonna buy anything from her again!

Hopefully Karen will have the Butter in another Flash sale and you can stock up. :yep: I think this week its the Jojoba Hair oil.
 
I got my crates. I need to sort through the stash. I saw a 16 oz of goldwell instant silk fluid in the store, it was $50. I left it in the store.
 
Good morning ladies, i tried to stay away until friday but i can't:look:, yesterday was a bit hard for me. I got a few things done that i had wanted to do but i still have more. I called into work last night because i just didn't feel like going:nono:. I will still have to limit my time on here but i can't go cold turkey. I haven't purchased anything and don't have an urge. Going to co wash this morning with bfh yarrow conditioner and dc with bfh mango macadamia.
 
Welcome back (so to speak) La Colocha. I had to limit my time on here, too. I've been sooo busy at work that I'm somewhat exhausted when I get home.

Also, I'm committed to getting ultra-organized before the end of the month and so far, devoting, two hrs a day to this resolution is succeeding.

No-buy is still going great. I received an email from ayurnaturalbeauty.com this morning about her sale. 20% off today only. 15% off Jan 13 - 14, 2011. I'm using my pass to purchase the red pimento oil from her. Newyear20 is the code

Thanks blue, i tried and did it for a day but like i said it was hard. I didn't even lurk i felt like i was banned:lachen:. Good for you on your no-buy, i think we all are doing a great job.
 
Y'all, who in the world is Ori?!?!?! :lol:
Ori is oriorganics.com. All of the drama with this vendor occurred in the previous thread. Poor CS, not replacing spilled or lost products. Replacing spilled products by shipping 2 oz. of product instead of a new product/container. All sorts of shenanigans. Poor attitude.

That 10% off is sorry!
 
Hey ladies, nothing new with me but school. I'm made ayunatural had sale after I place my order.
Charz, nothing like sleeping in you own bed!
Pom, La truely understand taking breaks from here, being tempted to buy is easy in the hair thread.
Hope you all enjoy your KBB, I read about the packaging problem.

We just said Happy New Year and two weeks left already so those of you in 1 leg no buy will be done already.

T, stay out of the carts.

Brownie, what happen to my oil, did it get lost in the snow?

We did not get even 1/2 of the snow they said thank goodness but sorry Brownie I see you all did. Everyone be careful!
 
Finished co washing with bfh yarrow hibiscus cleansing conditoner and oh my gaw was it nice. It didn't really clean my hair but it was so moisturizing and thicker than the mango dc. It makes a great co-wash, will be getting under the dryer with the mango for about 30 minutes.

Oh, really? Interesting.......:look:

La, I'm glad you decided to pop in before Friday!! :yep:
 
Morning Ladies.

Just getting in from shoveling out my car. If I can say anything about it, it surely is a workout.

About to start retwisting my hair. Going to use Mozeke Sweet Almond Pudding and Babassu Twisting cream. I won't be repurchasing Mozeke this year. Just not built for the drama with vendors.
 
Hey La...I understand needing a break from here. Glad to see you popping in

Charz glad you are going to be able to go home. Nothing like having your own space, but still being able to go home to your parents.

Pomp thanks for posting the sale. I was just on the site last night and there wasn't even a hint of a sale.

Henna is a staple for me so I'm going to stock up for the rest of the year. I may try the new henna she has but I'm definitely getting the Karishma henna.

Thanks ladies, it is hard to break a habit you have been doing for so long, this is the only forum that i have been an active participant for 2 years. I lurk other places but this is like a home away from home.
 
I would really love to become a vegetarian or a vegan, but I am too picky to survive and I love chiggun, cheese, milk and shrimp!

I don't eat beef, pork and turkey already...

I don't like vegetables, soy/tofu or beans FAIL.

The Butter Love is the only thing I like from KBB. I wanted it in the discontinued scents (Hibiscus, Sandelwood, or Rose Petal) I hope she offers this
How is the pimento oil? I'd like to try it.

I love Mozeke's products, I'm just afraid they will go rancid before I get to use them. These two are my favorite.

Do you like all seafood? Maybe a Pescetarian (sp)

Yeah, she's been talking about a sale since Oct/Nov but was having problems with Customs holding up her orders.

I wanted to wait this morning before placing an order 'cause I wanted to see if she would add an additional 5% or so for her Facebook Friends. But she didn't; she only posted about the 20% off sale TODAY only on Facebook. So, I just placed my order for 5 jars of Strong Roots Red Pimento Oil and some rose petal powder. This stock should take me through 2 legs of the no-buy. My stash is now complete! Won't need anymore passes....Thank Gawd!!

I really like the bentonite or rhassoul clay masks with rose water or rose petal powder.

Yeah, I'll be on and off for a month or two 'cause there's some things I want to achieve. But I promised myself yesterday I would not get behind 20 pages and try to read them all at once....LOL....So if I'm not here actively posting, I'll be here in lurk mode:lachen::lachen:sharing the joys and sorrows of a PJ......Thanks all for taking this journey with me....

This is exactly how I feel. I love the babassu twisting cream but :nono: can't deal with drama.

That butter love works so well with Miss Jessie's Stretch Silkening creme or Oyin's Shine and Define. My twistouts are so defined and slightly elongated. The ingredients are normal butters, but I thinks it's her whipping and consistency that make it special for me. It really is a wonderful sealant keeps my hair very moisturized w/out the greasy feeling. Since she changed the size and price, is the formula/consistency the same? Does anyone know? I haven't ordered from her since the change.

I love the Strong Roots pimento oil. I know I could probably make it myself one day; but I don't want to be bothered with it right now. I think there was a thread about it and some people leave it on their scalp (Lita said she did). The directions says to apply it to scalp as a pre-poo and wash it off. I do that. If ever I have an itchy scalp or some such, I apply this, let it sit for a couple of hours and my scalp calms down. I love this stuff! As you know my concern is always about shedding. This is purported to help with shedding. Seems to be doing its job, too. No itchy scalp or excessive shedding.

And yeah, I've been thinking about trying the Pescetarian regimen. That's something on my list to try during the 2nd qtr. I'm trying to lose a few pounds. And I do love, love, love veggies and seafood!!
 
I love Mozeke's products, I'm just afraid they will go rancid before I get to use them. These two are my favorite.
I've never had a problem with her products going bad the 3 times I ordered from her the most recent during the BF sale. It sits in the crisper of my fridge and has done fine. I check them before i use them and they all look and smell ok.
