Use 1 Buy 1 Challenge pt.5

Hey luvs. Just arrived in Toronto. Hope y'all are doing well.

I scaled alll the way back on ny already small BF list.

So far I only got:
SSI Sugar Peach Conditioner x2
Jakeala Prepoo Butter x1
APB UCS 16oz x1
APB Simple Serum 4oz x1

I may get another SLAP cap and a satin bonnet from Eboni curls. That's it.
Hey hun! I thought your scaled back cart was going to look like @rileypak 's :giggle:.
Oh wait, that was just her APB cart lol...
 
I just bought some Kreyol Essence HBCO. I asked a friend for it a few weeks ago, but since her BF broke up with her by proposing to another girl, I made an executive decision and decided it was best to just buy it :look:
Oh wow. Well, my ex did that to me 13 years ago. Never saw it coming. :(
Haven't been in a successful relationship since, I think it has still scarred me.:confused:
 
I'm sorry to hear. That's a bad experience. Makes you extremely scared to commit always wondering about the double life.

I know the guy. I refuse to even speak to him.
Yeah, I do need to move forward and stop giving him that much power. I wanted revenge for so many years then I realized that revenge was being successful.
Wouldn't hurt to do a drive by tho :auto::rofl:
 
Okay I reorganized my room. I feel better. I tried that app for keeping up with my stuff but I think I will follow @rileypak's example and do a spreadsheet. Now is the time before it gets crazy. Also it will ensure that I focus on what I need when I purchase stuff. In December and January I plan to buy from: APB, Naturelle Grow, Curl Origin, and Bobeam. Bobeam will be skincare products. I may buy from Sarenzo too because you know she is always having sales. That would be bath & skincare too. Ya'll have talked a lot about skincare in the past few days. If any of you are up for it, it would be great if you posted your routine with products pretty please.

I'm actually going to do my Sunday hair routine today.Haven't done it in a while. Been lazy and doing on Monday mornings which you know means I took a lot of steps out. I'm hoping to do 2/2 this week and do my Wednesday routine too. Daily routine is never an issue. I always do that.

Oh since I asked you to post your skincare routine here is mine:

Skincare:
Daily:
Using a small non motorized face brush I cleanse with Boots Botanics Softening Cleanser. I should finish this this week and then I will use Shea Moisture's African Black soap. Oh yeah before that I want to use up a sample I got from Naked Beaute. It is a Chamomile Cucumber Facial Cleanser.
Shea Moisture African Black Soap Problem Skin Toner with Tamarind & Tea Tree Oil
Shea Moisture Coconut & Hibiscus Spot Correcting Serum
Boots Botanics Nourishing Night Cream. I ran out of the day one and I figured it wouldn't hurt. I'm working on using this up and I'm not sure what I will use. I have some time to research and figure it out.

Weekly:
I try to do a face mask 1-2x week. Right now I rotate through Bobeam's face pastes
I also have a Shea Moisture African Black Soap Problem Skin Mask with Tamarind & Tea Tree Oil that I have not tried yet.

Notes:
I have Olay's Pro-X which I never use.
I also have Neutrogena's Microdermabrasion System that I never use
I don't have any acne issues. Never have. I do have a dark spot on my cheek that I just realized today is fading. I'm thinking that's the tamarind in the toner helping with that.

Bathcare:
Shower with an all natural body wash (right now using Trader Joe's)
While skin is still wet apply creamy oil (right now I'm using Jakeala's)
Try to remember to use a body scrub 1-2x week (right now I'm using one of Sarenzo's body polishes)

Hey ladies!
I'm trying to get together a solid skin care routine. I'm currently perusing facial cleansers, toners, serums, and moisturizers.
I'm getting ready to purchase from the Cultivar Skin Care Line and get a Vitamin C Serum from Mad Hippie.

My goal for 2017 is to focus more on skin care.
