@chebaby Lawd....Getting Rid of Packing Peanuts is such a Huge Hassle.:rolleyes:

I hate them. I need to get rid of some of these boxes too.:perplexed

But as soon as I do I'll need one to mail something out.:ohwell:

thank goodness right now i only have 3 boxes filled with peanuts. i keep the boxes under my bed and out the way so i dont have to look at them.:lol:
 
Ugh, just as expected Fedex has shuffled my package around to 3 different locations in NJ and my expected delivery date isn't until Monday, 5 days for a 2 hour drive :wallbash:
 
Hey Ladies - got my Tiiva Oil today. No smelly smell. :grin: I also got my Pink Sugar Kisses hair perfume delivered. It smells okay. I only spritzed it in the hair; hopefully the smell morphs into something delicious on the hair.

Prayer warriors - send up some prayers for the dh. It's time for his routine PET/CT scan (stomach cancer survivor). We go in the morning. Will be an exhausting day!!
 
Hey ladies!

divachyk I will be praying for you and your husband
bronzebomb I have been stalking ohm and sage website for some sweet hair pudding. I am really hoping they get some soon.

Tonight I cowash with CJ daily fix. This stuff is the bomb. I love how clean and fresh my scalp feels. I also love the smell. It reminds me of Giovani TTT but its not as strong. If groupon is still working next week I will def purchase with chebaby. I am in heaven with CJ daily fix. I think it might be my only co cleanse. Until my wallet go to speaking maybe I should look for an alternative but its worth the price tag.

I also dc with silicon mix. Why did I have to try this. The scent is so strong it makes me cough and want to gag. It does work on my hair. I used elucence mb con as my leave in. This con does wonders for my hair. Love it as an leave it.

I finish using BFH yarrow and hibiscus cleansing con, jasmine a&s. I will not repurchase either one. The jasmine does its job, its just too thick for me. I only got 5-6 uses out of it. I also don't think I will repurchase the shea rinse as well. I have only tried it as a leave in thus far. Its great at detangling but it does not give as much moisture as elucence and doesn't leave my hair as soft as elucence. I am going to try it as a co wash and I am hoping I like it because I have a lot to use up.
 
destine2grow - thank you much and I believe Nix08 was/is deep conditioning with silicone mix. She also thought it was smelly! I've never tried it personally. From the sounds of it, might not want to either.

Yes, I normally use Silicon mix to detangle in the shower. I don't detangle in the shower anymore so I tried it in my DC. The smell was too much for me and even after washing and applying my leave ins the predominant smell was Silicon mix. Further more, I found that my hair dried out faster the following day...I don't normally use mineral oil in my products....so maybe that's what it was:ohwell:

bronzebomb....tell me how you like this. I've been eyeing it for awhile.
 
13StepsAhead - I think I'm done for real this time. This is ridiculus!

I'm cutting back on LHCF, Facebook and YouTube. I'm limiting my Internet time to 30 minutes per day!

I'm on to the next goal, better health! I purchased a couple of Groupons for Kickboxing and Bikram Yoga
 
Thank you all for well wishes; we at the dr now; makes my stomach knot up but I am a prayer and believer.

bronzebomb, I go through periods when I refrain from all things electronic. Sometimes it just becomes too much. I might be on a hiatus soon as I have some things I need to accomplish and social media time is hindering progress.
 
Thanks again ladies; we're home now and I took a nap; was exhausted....it's about to storm so I'm just hanging low today. Dh is on the couch resting, surfing the net on his laptop and of course I'm sitting by him doing the same.....

Hope everyone is having an excellent day!
 
I couldn't decide what I wanted from cj and I kept putting it off so now I have nothing new to dc with tomorrow:ohwell: If i wasn't strapped for cash I would have gotten everything on my wishlist. Tomorrow I'm gonna prepoo with AOGPB It's been a while since I've used that. I'm no sure what I'm going to steam with yet
 
What yall buyin? I mean doin? I'm not doing anything, just purchased SSI's Curly Girl products. I threw a fortifying and okra in the cart too. Might as well make it count.

hey ladies
so last night i had a tiiiiimmmmmeeeee with this here hair of mine:nono: i was trying out HV whipped gelly for a wash and go and that stuff is as bad as kccc when it comes to keeping the hair wet so long. i used it over giovanni direct and it formed white bits on the front of my hair. so then i had to shampoo again:nono: im all out of aphogee shampoo so i used kenra moisturizing shampoo(NOT!!) and had tangle city. so i detangled with my trusty cj smoothing lotion. heres the thing about the smoothing lotion. this is a good example of how something can soften your hair without moisturizing it. so the SL instantly softens the hair making detangling a breeze, but its not moisturizing for my hair. i kinda knew this before but didnt really know until last night when my hair was dry dry dry from kenra.
so i tried the whipped gelly again, this time alone. and i loved how it made my hair look i just dont like sitting around with a wet neck forever.

so today i cleansed with daily fix and conditioned with honey hemp(this always does the trick). then i used giovanni direct as a leave in and cj honey butta on top and this stuff makes my hair look just as good as DM DCC. so while im purchasing all these cream gels honey butta is a dupe. only thing is honey butta is like 2x the price of dcc. i dont mind though. i have another honey butta on the way plus this dang near full jar i have now. groupons:lick:
 
while i was going through the blues with my hair last night i realized i am so tired of trying out new products and battling with my hair. so im honestly truly sticking with what works. luckily almost everything i have works just fine. but yea, im sticking with the basics.
 
chebaby :woot:

:wallbash:yeah, I'm tired of the PJ Blues. I'm jealous of all the curlies that have their staples.

EllePixie and Charz lucky devils...:beach:

If I can stop purchasing, :badgirl: I'd probably have my staples too

you know whats even worse? ive had my staples for well over a year:look: i just like to buy and try new things which usually isnt a problem. but when i start getting tangles and such its a wrap:nono:
but im sticking with giovanni direct, kckt, oyin dew, and cj honey butter as my leave ins.
ive never had many deep conditioners and co wash conditioners that id call a staple. as long as i have great leave ins im good.
