Use 1 Buy 1 Challenge pt.4

i think mine says karite on it but no olive. its supposed to be just shea butter but i aint never seen shea like that before.
i keep it in my purse and use it on my hands or face if i forget to moisturize my face that morning. or i use it on my lips before i apply a gloss. i does boo squat for my hair.

Girl that stuff is a joke
I think its the shea butter that they watered down with vitamin e,if i'm not mistaken. I sampled it in Sephora and just rubbed it all over my hands. I never thought to use it in my hair though.
I do like the shea mask that they have though. But that "pure" shea butter they are pimping is not a good deal.

This is what I have.

Good Strategy. This little personal no-buy (along with those Property Taxes) had me slowed down on alot of different stuff.

This time of year I usually stock up during the after Christmas Clearance Sales on a bunch of stuff. I haven't really purchased anything.

I spent a Grip November/December so this was a needed break.

I have another $10 Gift Certificate from DSW, I may pick up a pair of pumps before it expires.

Yes this year i am focusing on saving and investing, also i have my grans house that needs major work that will take a few years but we are in the process of working on that so we can have our own home.

Hey Ladies!!

I started my wash day. Sitting here with a HOT on.

I added a ton of EVOO to it since there wasn't much left and I just bought a big 1 liter bottle for cooking and hair. I will add the rest of the HOT to my cowash condish.

Back to catching up on the topic at hand.

I bought my plane tickets. I'm madd that I kept on going back to check other options and priceline and expedia kept on raising the price of the same flight. I mean from 1200 to 2200. they were tripping, so I tried it at home on my work laptop and of course it was back at 1200. what scam artists. looking through my cookies and cache.

Also I had a choice of having 1 stop and a 16 hour layover or have 3 stops....i picked the 16 hour layover in Belgium. Cuz I'd be damned if I had to get on 4 flights in 24 hours.

Shay: You Said 8 of the 11 were conditioners....Have you Upped your Co-washing? OR were they a Combo of DC'ers and Cowashers?

11 Products gone in such a short amount of time is really inspiring.

One was a dc and the rest cowashers. I'm a daily cowasher.

 

[natura87]

I dropped out of the no-buy a few weeks ago and im doing my own now until april 1st.

What? The nobuy only began a few weeks ago....

I dunno, that sounds like a good idea though, yanno if for whatever reason the spirit forces itself upon ya.

 

[Priss Pot]

Wow, Charz, I didn't know those sites did that, kept tabs on one's cookies and cache. I guess it would make sense to clear that stuff out before looking at flight prices, huh? Learn something new everyday!

Girl where have you been? I am not worried about the spirit, i am determined to not fail.

I dont know...I think I...I really dont know what I was thinking.
Knowing good and darn well I have a problem..going cold turkey for 12 months (even though I should) is gonna be hard. I'm not sure if I can do it. I'm gonna put forth my best effort.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

I didn't do my hair tonight like I thought I may.erplexed

Decided to wait until Friday.

We're Cheering All of You On!

 

[natura87]

I might do my hair tonight.

 

[mkd]

I am doing my hair tonight but I don't feel like it. i don't know if i can roller set. I am tired.

 

[beautyaddict1913]

Good evening ladies! No hair plans today, I may try a dry braid out tonight, but Im not sure...Im just ready to wash! I think I have decided to get my hair sewn in earlier than Feb. 25th, as I have done an excellent job of using up a lot of stuff! However, I think I am manipulating my hair more than I would like to! I have been weave free for 3 months now and it feels like forever! I will let yall know what I decide!

Also, in my office most of the ladies wear weave and relaxers. However, Im in a training class right now and 4 of us have natural hair. Everyday when I come in the classroom the ladies ask me "is that a twist out or braid out? what do u use on your hair? who do you luv on youtube?" lol. O its heavenly! Its like being around you guys all day lol! There are 2 other ladies who are aspiring to go natural but are having a hard time and ask me for advice or about how I achieved different styles. They ask me all kinds of questions about my natural hair journey and regimen! I luv it! Its awesome when people embrace ur hair instead of labeling you because of it. I AM NOT "millitant" or "afro-centric" or "pro-black" I just don't know how to take care of relaxed hair, so natural hair is the best option for me. Period! Its funny how people perceive you solely becuz of ur hair. weave = ghetto or fake; natural hair = weird! Ughhh stop it! Thanks for letting me rant and rave all in the same post!

 

[beautyaddict1913]

Beauty, you are making me want to try Miss Jessies.

Im just now seeing this! I think you should try the pudding and/or meringue, best twist outs ever! They are worth the price to me bcuz despite the less than natural ingredients they really do something for me that no other product does and thats what a staple product is supposed to do lol. I get great results from a banded wash and go with the curly pudding too!

ok Im tired of seeing my face back to back in this thread, dont yall hate to be the only one posting? lol But I have a question mkd, how do you rollerset? What products/techniques? Are you ponytail rollersetting or classic 48 rollers roller setting? What kind of results does this yield, as in whats the finished look?

 

[Vonnieluvs08]

I just finished a BFH Mango macadamia and a skala G3. I thought I would finish the Mozeke Avocado Cleanser but I have 1 more use left.

I splurged a lil today and bought some BK (with a coupon) and some Dark chocolate Acai raisin like things. I bought a coffee ($1 at WaWa) and a breakfast sandwich. It's these purchases that I cave on.

I'm content with my hair products right now. I don't think I'm even trying to use a pass for this leg of the No Buy.

I can't buy anything now since they just upped my student loan payments so any extra money I could have for a pass is now gone.

 

[chebaby]

Yall I am so scared. A hammer fell from ontop this thing they are building and come 2inches from hitting me in the head.

I rollerset in the mohawk way Beauty. Right now, I am using magnetic with the snaps because I can't get the roller clips right. I love setting with mesh rollers and hair pins. I get phenomenal results but they get really tight and I noticed some breakage. I get really big waves when I comb out the curls. If I want tighter curls, I re roll them on flexis. If I want straighter, I wrap it at night. I use some kind of leave in (KBB hair milk, dew, SSI coco creme) and aphogee leave in spray and aphogee green tea and keratin and some paul mitchell super skinny serum. I dont think I like the dew for roller sets, I just used it and I think its too heavy.

I like the KBB mask a lot. I don't think I would pay $25 for it though.

 

[Vonnieluvs08]

Naw Che. You need to have them move you. Workmans comp isn't enough for something easily preventable. Isn't that against the law or something: having civilians in work places.

 

[chebaby]

I don't know but I'm scared as heck. They put these nets up over my desk but I heard them arguing about how its not a safety net.

Can you move and sit somewhere else Che?

 

[Vonnieluvs08]

I think I'm going to sleep in this DC. I'm getting sleepie and I said I wouldn't stay up all night.

I don't know what I'm going to do with this mop top tomorrow. I'm still planning to henna on Friday. I think I'm going to use my curlformers after the henna. All this rollersetting talk has got me itching to do it. I just need bigger snap curlers so I have to use the curlformers for now. Stupid No Buy.

 

[chebaby]

moved to ait in a door way because it has a thick ledge over it thinking that would be safe and that's where the hammer fell and bounced off the side and almost hit me. I'm just ready to go.
