Whole Foods carries lots of good stuff. I"m glad its kinda far from me so not to tempt me.

The Natural store also has great stuff. I know I can get some oils there rather than online tho the price is higher.

A PJ can't go anywhere and not be tempted

They are far from me too.:yep: There's a Trader Joe close to me tho'. (Never been in one).

But there is a WF fairly close to my job:ohwell:
 
Wegmans started doing there cooked food by container size, which helps. The regular size is $6 and you can taste test a few dishes that way. The sushi at both places is good and reasonably priced.
 
I like TJ but its small and the stuff is a lil more expensive than Wegman's or WF. I do stop myself from looking at hair stuff there since ppl swear by it and I don't need to get hooked on there stuff and food there as well

And that's exactly why I've never gone in. Although folx tell me all the time: "You would love it":nono:

And That's the reason why I've never gone in.:lol:
 
I feel that way about online vendors too. As much as I would love to try stuff and support ppl esp after great reviews it takes great restraint to not view the webpages and look at the products.

Tjmaxx, Ross, and Marshalls are other dangerous places too.

Definite HOT SPOTS:blush: ................ :lol:
 
A lady at church reminded me of those places when she got gifts for $3-5.

That used to be my fave place to shop for clothes. Brand name clothes for cheap prices.
 
Hi ladies, just checking in won't be on long. I am so mad right now, dh let me sleep allllllll damn day smh. I went to bed at about 5 this morning and just got up about an hour ago. I had stuff to do and now i have to go to work. I'm like i could have been in there dead, he said well you needed to rest, fool i have been sleep all weekend. Im going to see if i can get on first shift, this is no way to live. Anyway sorry for ranting, mama t i will keep yall up on the flash wendsday, i need more hair mask. I like the bfh dc's but the hair mask is better.
 
Hey, ladies. I'm just sitting here at work, seein what ya'll are talking about.

We had a nice big 'town hall' meeting at work on Tuesday about 'rebuilding trust' in the company....then they turned around and laid off mad people on Thursday.:ohwell: The meetings were insane, though. Folks were going off, cussing the man and whatnot...:nono: And there will be more layoffs to come in the next few weeks, I believe.

So, anyway...I can't wait to do my hair this week. I want to use the HV Methi step 1 again. :yep:
 
Hi ladies! My weekend has been so busy. I probably missed everyone.

T, WF oil selection is crazy, they have every kind of oil imaginable.

Does anyone have any experience with diffusing?
 
Hey M!

Sorry I've never done it. I've seen some yt vids on it, My understanding is that its blowdrying without disturbing the curls and not as much direct heat as regular blowdrying.

Beauty: What did you think of Claudie's Protein Rx?

(And No....Thank You):grin:

i loved it! i'm going to place my own claudie's order...i need to continue on no-buy but its so strict lol...i like the ends insurance too...i put some on my ends last night!

my twist & curl looked a mess at church today lol...i twisted with dm twist & lock pudding tonight. we will see how it turns out in the morning!
 
Good morning ladies, well it looks like there will be no more good sales on the kbb hair mask, and the reason i say that is she is now starting to limit the bogo's to 1 per order, smh. Why did i fall in love with this stuff, its still not on sale this week.
 
Hello ladies and lurkers.

I am going to do my hair later on today, I am pooped. Yesterday was my (24th) birthday, I worked a 9 hour shift and I then had to move so I'm not really going to do anything until I have to.I'm getting old.:ohwell: I still have to unpack but I moved it so thats as far as I'm gonna go for now. I will DC with the Argan Lustrasilk, poo with the Giovanni Wheat something or other and cowash with the remainder of a Burts Bee's conditioner.


I finished an Aussie 3 minute miracle on Friday night.
 
I mixed up my Cassia/Henna mix and applied. I leave on until about 12-1pm. or whenever I feel like rinsing.

I added:

Left over Henna mix
1/4C Cassia
1/4C yogurt
2 eggs
1/4C water
Splash of ceramide oil mix

That seems odd. Usually if people do this they let you get at least 2-4 per order. Well at least at the grocery store it's like that. I don't see the point in limited quantity if people are willing to spend the money for a good product. I understand the fairness of limiting amount but why even do it then if it's limit 1.

Exactly gurl! These folks don't know how to make money! Thats how I felt when SSI removed the free shipping for orders over $60 during that tired v-day sale...thats why I didn't participate. Its not a deal if Im paying $10 to ship 3 items! I would want people to feel obligated to spend a certain amount of money for my sales...30% off plus free shipping over $75, now thats a sale lol! 20% off and $10 shipping....really? is that for us?:nono:

Good morning ladies...I am on a break from training...I started this position in November and Im not done with training until April lmaaoooo....gotta laugh to keep from crying...this is so strenuous....my DM twist and lock twist out turned out nice, it smells kind of loud to me but there's hold and no crunch so we will take it! If it holds up after my work-out tonight, I will just flat-twist the front with some DM buttercream and moisturize with it and band the back...I think I am going to do a scalp massage with jbco/co/vitamin e oil/peppermint oil tonight...hair looks and feels nice...not shedding, so I can stop freaking out...I guess what I saw on wash day was normal for 3 weeks without manipulation...but I was certainly in a panic!

Where is T this morning? I know she normally stops in!

I am so simple sometimes :look:. So I decided to pin my hair while it is airdrying so my hair will lay down. Of course it worked. It still needed some help so I replaced the silver pins with some cute decorative black pins but I could have been doing this for a while now. I am so tired of my crazy looking wng's because my hair is longer in the crown so this will work for a little bit.

Lmao, girl that sounds like a plan:look::lachen:.

Happy b-day natura, hey ladies nothing up with my hair today. Im going to up my co washes because i am going to the gym again and joined a walking group also. Getting ready to leave soon and will be back later on.
 
Happy Belated birthday Natura87

Re KBB, she did it just to tempt new customers - if people really like it and consider it a staple, then they will re-order. She could at least offer Buy 1, get 2nd 50% off and personally I think she should then definitely remove the limit that you can buy.

KBB does too many messed up things (change ingredients, change sizes, prices, etc) and has wishy-washy service to make me keep them as a staple vendor. I know things evolve but KBB is doing too much for me. I know she stays in this thread...hey girl
 
happy birthday natura. im in the 24 yo club too lmao.

my bun feels so soft. giovanni is a keeper. im going to use it this weekend to either do braids or twists. that bun thread has me scared of messing up my ends. so far so good but ive only been bunning for 3 weeks. when i braid or twist this weekend im going to use the giovanni direct by itself to see how it does alone.

oh and im thinking about going back to henna:look: i miss it and what it did for my hair. its either that or aphogee 2 step which i need to do anyway.

so heres my plan for sunday. i will do a henna gloss using napur henna. the conditioner i will mix it with will be kbb hair mask. my mix will be henna and amla in equal parts, and kbb mask. maybe a tiny bit of evoo but im not sure yet. and im only going to leave it on for an hour or two.

i dont think i have any vo5 left so i dont know what i will rinse it with.
