Use 1 Buy 1 Challenge pt.4

Hey ladies, its late, just wanted to check in with yall! Been doing pretty well on the no-buy for April, I have done ONE swap - I don't count swaps as a violation of no-buy bcuz they just fall into my lap, they're not pre-meditated lol! I think I could spend the rest of the year doing a no-buy every other month! It would work out perfectly too - I would only be buying in May, July, September, and November - those are ALL major sale months too! Enjoying my sew-in, yet hoping I can really make it until June 1st with it! Its getting really hot here too, so I don't know how my hair will hold up with this Houston heat and humidity. I am definitely done with twist-outs until November. Been thinking of only wearing my hair out for a week after I take down this install, then getting a weave cut into a bob and wearing that for 2-3 weeks, then a week out, then getting my kinky curly install until September. We will see!

Today I re-organized my stash overflow (the products that are not apart of my weave care arsenal and the ones that don't fit on my over-the-door organizer). I had them in a plastic crate but it was overflowing and I was getting very overwhelmed so I decided to use a clear drawer. I threw some stuff away and gave away some stuff too! I feel sooo much better, just gotta get that weave stash down and I will be a happy pj lol! I will attach a pic of the natural hair products overflow.

I also went to TJMaxx HomeGoods tonight and got the prettiest comforter! Its not black and white like I wanted, its a spring green and white and I will pair it with grey or Tiffany blue sheets - looks great! Thanks IDareT'sHair for the suggestion to go there!

I have only a few more items on my list of products to try and I feel like I will be delivered from pj'ism lol! But I did see someone's video on Carol's Daughter Healthy Hair Butter and now I want to try it along with the Mimosa Hair Honey and the Some of Marguerite's Magic. I have about 4 things from CD but never use any of them, but for some reason I feel like this time will be different lol! Any reviews on any of those?

Good morning ladies, it so nice outside this morning. I went out with my cup of tea and watched the sun come up, thank you lord for letting me see another day. Nothing going on hair related today, i'm going into work early so just relaxing and getting stuff together. Mom is leaving to go back to cali this afternoon, please send up a prayer for her to make it home safetly.
 
Mornin ladies ... I have great news

my mommy BCd,

well I did it for her. she transitioned for 8 months and at first she said she was also gonna stop dying her hair (she didnt dye for the 8 months) but after we BCd I noticed she looked a bit down- I automatically assumed that it was because she didnt like hsr natural hair and I kept telli her it looked cute (it really does look cute) but she still looked down

anyways later on in the day she confessed that she couldnt deal with all the grey hair LOLOLOLOL --- she's so vain -----LOLOL so I went and got a box colour to cover them, then she was all happy again :lachen:

I made her a care package with some of my precious doo doo drops, shea butter mix and some BRBC and showed her how to use them

yesterday I sent her to my stylist to get her first natural hair do


here are some pics:

shay, i have a vitamix you can make protein, green drinks, smoothies, juices. etc great investment.

By the way i brought french mesh rollers they are large, sturdy and great investment that will last a long time $30 really for something that will last compare to the conditioners i brought:rolleyes: I just did my roller set best ever! I used to have some good mesh roller but got rid of them, kicking myself. Like hair products if you hold on it might work another time:lol:

:yep: I got a Vitamix the last time QVC had it as the Today's Special Value. I mostly make smoothies right now. I will branch out at some point.

Shay72 ,I just add spinach or kale, the brand i use is called syntha-6, i get it from gnc. A guy at work got me on it he coaches football on the side, i like strawberry and vanilla ice cream, not chocolate so much, and banana is good. I don't add fruit because its sweet enough on its own. It has 2g sugar. I drink one after workout and one at night at work as a meal replacement so i won't crave the food there. If you decide to try it ask your trainer the amounts you need so you won't bulk up.

I don't think I could do it errday, but I guess I'd get use to it.:yep:

I went out and removed some stuff from my Flower Bed. My neighbor's yard is always so "Pristine", so I can't let them show me up (even tho' neither of them work...both retired):perplexed

I need a Rake and some other Yard Tools.:sad:

Hmp. Wonder If Lowe's or Home Depot will Swap some of this HTN or CJ for some Yard Stuff.:lol: .......... :look:
