Oh my, two days, I can do this, I am feeling a tiny scared about the no buy. Just got to get over that first hump and I can do it. It will be interesting to see who cracks first. Hope we all at least make it through the month of January. Paypal is going to have junkie withdrawals if we make it six months.

I went to my local beauty supply and didn't buy anything, it felt real strange.
 
IDareT'sHair - the only comfort I find in this AV delay is that we're all impacted by it so that means it's not an isolated event where someone's package got lost in the mail. I contacted them one time previously (earlier this year) about shipping and was given a nice note about standard ship times increase during big sales. :blush:

bronzebomb, I love all things Mary J. What is it that you're getting.

Tonight I did an informal length check and tell me why I gained no length this past TU period. Boo!! Oh well.
 
Seamonster, I think we're all prepping ourselves. I had the intent to go to Sally's today to polish shop but I talked myself out of it. I need to slow my role on polish shopping also.
 
Hello ladies! Happy birthday chebaby - it's still ur bday in Texas!
robot. I love your hair! Get it gurlie! I remember when u bc'd that's awesome progress!

Y'all up in here making progress and such - we ain't sitting in here luxuriating with all these fancy products for nothin lol.
Hello ladies! Bout to go to bed. Tonight I cowashed with Darcy's Pumpkin (used it up) and moisturized with Claudies Isha and sealed my ends with a little KBB butter. I'm so proud of myself for using up two products this week! I used up BRBC yesterday and I have one backup. I also have 2 16 oz. backups of the Darcy's pumpkin.
This weekend (Sunday) I will detangle with Curls coconut sublime, wash with Shea MOisture, do a protein treatment with Claudie's Complete, DC with KBB and do a twistout with DM buttercream and Dm miracurl Gelly!
 
chebaby Chello-Mi Chelady!:grin:

Well, my Kyra's Pomegrante Pomade came and my order from Shi-Naturals.:yep:

Brownie518 That Shea Lotion is really watery/runny isn't it?:blush: That's interesting. :look:

I'm going off your recommendation on that one.:lol:

I thought it would be more of a Lotion. I hope I like it.

IDareT'sHair

I've never used the Shea Lotion. That was on my list to order, which I did with this last sale :yep:. I have the Creamy Leave in. It's in a jar but I think it should be in a bottle. It's creamy but not thick enough for a jar. I love it, though! :yep:

So, the No Buy starts on the 1st. Bask beauty opens back up on the 2nd and Claudie on the 5th. I'm going to get more Sweet Manna from bask and more Frappe from Claudie and I'm done. My stash will be set...:look:
 
@bronzebomb

That 25% & Free Shipping is thebomb.com

But Nope.:nono: I ain't getting pulled into no durn Curol's Baby Daughter.:lol:

@chebaby Get Off that Site!:lol:

Where Brownie518 at?:look:

IDareT'sHair

I'm all late...had a date night last night. :eyebrows2: but I am just about to go to the CD site and get:

1 Black Vanilla shampoo
3 Black Vanilla Smoothies :thumbsup:
1 Chocolate conditioner
1 Black Vanilla conditioner
:look:

chebaby

I hope you had a great day!!! :birthday2
 
Figured out ShayShay done caught a 'tude since I told the world she is fine and not thick :nono:. It seems the flakes more like white dots is just too much product. When I just do a spray leave in and seal with oil I'm fine. It's when I do a spray leave in, creamy moisturizer, and seal with oil it's too much. Now is the perfect time to go full Curly Girl Method :yep:. I will do it for the month of January. Which is perfect because there is a meet up at the end of January and I can give up all of these poos I have there if Curly Girl works for me. Also just looking at my pics I'm pissed about looking at my coils when I first bc'd and now. I gotta get ShayShay happy again bc she has been showing her a$$ lately.
 
I finished a Silk Dreams PRE and 4oz HTN Growth Lotion.

I got my Carol's Daughter so I'm set on that for a minute...

Black Vanilla Smoothie duo
Monoi masque
Chocolate conditoner
Black Vanilla set with shampoo, cond., smoothie, and that heat spray or whatever

Ltown

LOL! You're so right! It's a mad dash to the end of the month!! Gotta get last licks in.
 
I can see I won't be doing anything again today. I'm the only one here right now.

I picked up my Terressentials today. I'm thinking of doing the detox the proper way especially since I will be home for 4/7 days needed for the full detox. I don't know about not using any other products during that time period. We shall see. Let me go read the thread.

My Shi Naturals hasn't shipped and I need to cancel my Julep membership.
 
Mernin' Divas to the 10th Power!:hiya3:

Getting ready to get started on my Hurr. I'd like to be completely finished by 1:00.

I should use up something. Maybe Enso Cacao DC'er. I should be able to finish that Jar. Have 1 16 ounce back-up.

I should also finish up 1 HV ACV Rinse. Have back-ups & tryna' order back ups to the back ups.

Not sure if I'll get anything today? I sure hope so.:lol:

Brownie518 Lawd...I thought you were saying the Shea Lotion! You meant the Creamy Leave-In.

I bought the wrong thang. We'll see how it works, I guess.:ohwell:
 
I did a HOT last night with hot 6 oil. Will be tackling my hair this afternoon and will:
Clarify, Protein (probably Ion Effective Care), and DC. Will finish off a couple of jars that only have a tiny bit left in them -- SitriNillah and Jasmine's A&S and put back in rotation, SDH Vanilla Silk. Got some post TU shedding and will be breaking out my AE Garlic also.
 
Yeah I might be hitting up Walgreen's, Target, and Sally's today. We shall see cuz ya'll know I'm lazy :look:.

So the plan for ShayShay is:
1. to do the 7 day detox with Terressentials then I would alternate it with the Shea Moisture Purification Masque 1x monthly to clarify
2. Full Curly Girl Method for 1 month and if it is a success I will continue with it
3. Moisture, Moisture, Moisture
4. Growth aids, growth aids, growth aids
 
Good Morning,

Since I got my MD, my cabinets are full. I would have trouble squeezing another product in. Of course, I do have a garage, I could start to fill, :grin: This no buy is right on time. Having that silly I don't have enough stuff feeling just because the no buy is about to start, and I am serious about this one. I want to be successful at it.

My final rush is all Ayurvedic Stuff
Clay, Herbs, Alcohol, and Vinegar
Some more combs, I lost my Mason Expensive Mason Pearson Tail comb. :sad:

chebaby :birthday2:birthday3::happybirthday2::present: :bday5:
 
I know I'll get some ACV and maybe some Horsetail & Nettle tinctures today at the Health Food Store (if I feel like going out).:look:

Under the Steamer with Enso Naturals Cacao. Not sure where my Marie Dean is? It says via Fed-Ex it's still sitting somewhere in Cali. It hasn't been updated.:ohwell:

Won't finish up the Enso, but pretty darn close. Maybe next wash day.

I cowashed with Oyin Honey Hemp. I just Love that Stuff! I remembered just how much!:heart3::heart3::heart3:
 
Imma go make up my real list of stuff to use up in the 6 month no buy. I'll have my nieces today, we're going to cocojam (like chuckycheese) they also want to hang out by the pool but Im trying to talk them out of it 'cause then Imma have to deal with 2 heads of hair to wash :look:

this picture was from back in July

Have you figured out how you Gone Haul all that Haul back home yet?:grin:..:look:
 
Hello ladies. How's it goin? My day so far has been interesting to say the least.:nono: I'm at the bus station waiting for my bus, apparently they sent me to the wrong door so my behind sat there for 2 hours only to find out I was at the wrong door all along. They refunded my money but still. I'm a little irritated. Hopefully the day gets better.



Still rocking this puff.
