Use 1 Buy 1 Challenge pt.5

[Seamonster]

Oh my, I applied oils before taking bikram yoga yesterday, and it steamed my hair! My curls are extra defined and lush, I didn't even need a comb. Too bad I am so sore today, I am thinking I bit off more than I can chew. If I stick with the yoga, I won't need a steamer.

Just got the belly butter from MD, and at first whiff, unused it smells like lemon balm eo. It is a full pomade. I am sick of getting whipped products sold by volume. I feel so product rich with this chunky container of 12 oz of solid butter. Yum.

Starting to feel free by the no buy, I really needed this.

Good ealry morning ladies! I guess no one has to get up this early for work, sometimes i hate it but i love getting off early to avoid traffic.

What is the rules of no-buy? If someone runs out of their favorites or want to try something maybe we can swap? chebaby i got caught up in polish because after one of our no buys 100+ later pjism

One pic is blatant in the HYH reveal. I was like .

So I finally watched my Curly Girl dvd. It came with the 2nd edition of the book. I have both editions. Why did I have to take notes ya'll ? I'm sure once I do it once or twice it will become second nature.

Day 4 done. Airdrying right now. Forgot to mention previously my hair is easy to finger detangle with the mud in. Coils seem plumper (is that a word?)...more plump.

To those that arent on a No Buy....Sally's has a great offer on As I Am!!! Buy 2, get 1 Free! You'll need an in store coupon. Going on throughout the month of January.

 

[natura87]

Will be taking advantage of the Sally's As I Am sale sometime this month. I've got 3 of the products and i want to try out the entire line.

 

[Seamonster]

My Afroveda and Purabody are still processing. Mozeke mailed my Grapeseed. The Aveyou order I placed yesterday has been shipped. Online looking at juicers, might pick one up in a month or two.

 

[divachyk]

My AveYou shipped also Seamonster. What did you get (sorry if you already posted).

 

[Seamonster]

Ended up getting Camile Rose, I wanted CJ, but the temptation to try something new overcame me. I will restock my CJ during flash sales. Got CR white chocolate, CR growth oil, CR almond jai, CR Moisture milk, CR Algae mask, and HTN Follicle spray. Paid $3 with the coupon

 

[natura87]

I actually liked the Garnier PureClean that I used last night. Its just that I have so many other..higher quality conditioners that it kinda fell by the wayside. I have one more use of the conditioner. It would be a repurchase if i were in a bind.

 

[bronzebomb]

Seamonster - let me know which juicer you get. I want one. I just don't know where to start.

chello ladie
i have been do exausted lately. i went to bed early and still felt like i couldnt get out of bed today. i dont know whats wrong. last week one day i felt like something heavy was on me and i just couldnt get out of bed. sunday i literally slept like all day long just waking up to do my hair and my moms hair in between. lmao gotta get the hair done.

anyway today my hair was like "second day hair? naw ninja, not today" lmao. my braid out was so limp and messed up. so i deep conditioned on dry hair under my heat therapy wrap for 40 minutes with claudies protein(have one use left so im saving the rest lol) then i shampooed with come clean(i think im gonna make this a staple) then i conditioned and detangled with cj repair me. repair me is so wishy washy lol. sometimes it works for me and sometimes it doesnt. i think im gonna keep it around though.
then i used giovanni direct leave in mostly on my ends and did a wash and go puff.
all my ends still curl up except the bang area but i can tell the curls are a little looser than they are supposed to be.

so im putting myself on another challenge. no more heat until December 2012. and i mean it. its gonna be braid outs from here until the summer and then ill go back to w&g in the summer. ill wear this puff the rest of this week cause i dont have the energy to do my hair anymore. but sunday its back to braid outs.

sunday i will pre poo with warm olive oil, shampoo with come clean and then steam with cj repair me. then braid with dew and shine and define.

@chebaby I was a makeup junkie before even joining the hair boards. You don't wanna go there .

im just so crazy about really nice eye brows. mine are so very thin so ive been watching yt videos on how to make them look thicker and nicer. but i dont have time to draw them on then outline with concealer then clean it up, blend it out, and all this other stuff

Good ealry morning ladies! I guess no one has to get up this early for work, sometimes i hate it but i love getting off early to avoid traffic.

What is the rules of no-buy? If someone runs out of their favorites or want to try something maybe we can swap? @chebaby i got caught up in polish because after one of our no buys 100+ later pjism

i think swaping should be good. im sure we all have something someone else in here needs.

 

[chebaby]

oh another thing about this no buy. once i finish this bottle of come clean im all out of shampoo. except this old arse bottle of kenra shampoo that i hate hate hate. but thats cool cause i can lay off the shampoo for a while and use cj daily fix i think i might have an old bottle of carols daughter black vanilla shampoo but i have to check.

on this no buy i plan to use up:
claudie protein(no back ups)
come clean(no back ups)
daily fix(no back ups)
smoothing lotion(2 back ups)
kbb mask(no back up)
mhc olive you(no back up )
giovanni xtreme(no back up)
oyin dew(no back up)
32oz curl rehab(plenty of back ups)
bee mine moisturizer(no back up)
DM dcc(1 back up)
cj repair me(no back ups)

@Ltown
now you know everybody will make their own rules. People swap all of the time so to me being on the no buy doesn't change that. I plan to buy if I get down to 1 bottle of something within a category. Meaning 1 bottle of conditioner period.

 

[natura87]

I want my hair in mini box braids, but I dont want to actually have to do it. I'm lazy today. Its probably for the best, I have products to use up.

 

[Seamonster]

bronzebomb I am probably going to purchase the old fashion Champion masticating juicer. Based upon my current research, it is very long lasting. When I looked at reviews most juicers seem to break down, but people are selling their old champions from decades ago on ebay. This juicer basically acts like teeth and chews the juice, huge juicer, medium loud, medium juice quality, but outlast the rest, and it is made in the USA. My blender is a sixty year old westinghouse, I like things I can rely on. My mother has had 10 fancy new blender, and I still have Grandma's old westinghouse. Because it chews the food, one can make sorbet, nut butters or baby food with it, in addition to juice.

I will let you know what I think once I get one, my second choice is an omega single auger. The new style machines have a lot of bells and whistle, but I need something I can rely upon. My Jack la Laine was a nightmare, always stopping on me, then died. I only used it a few times. It was only a hundred dollars, but that money is gone as is the juicer.

 

[Seamonster]

chebaby no shampoo wow, you must not use poo that often

I plan to make some products if I completely run out of stuff. Actually, I really do not think I will run out, I stocked up pretty well. Besides, I set aside passes for major sales and major holidays. With that Aveyou Camille Rose order, I might be able to make it a whole year. All the major sales are in the next six months, then I will probably no buy until black Friday with beauty.

Going to finish my vanilla silk today or tomorrow. That stuff is amazing, I am going to do bikram yoga with it, then moisturize with Oyin Hair dew sealed with SD nourish.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

Shay72

What you doing? And where is errbody?

Sounds like the Detox is going well.

 

[Shay72]

I figured out one of my gallons is leaking . I had already transferred some to an empty bottle. It's laying on it's side until I can empty up more bottles so I can empty that gallon.

 

[chebaby]

thank you T

Seamonster, no i actually use shampoo quite a bit. usually once or twice a week. its just that ive used most of my shampoo up and havent repurchased.

 

[Shay72]

IDareT'sHair
Detox is going extremely well. Not doing anything hairwise. Just checking my subscribed threads.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

@chebaby Gell-o Che! Okay so, I was lurkin at werk and now you've decided not to stay straight for Winter uh?

@Shay72 Girl, that's terrible. I hate to spill or waste "my precious-eses"

Girl I dropped something the other day and yes, I scraped it up off the floor & used it.

Oh Yes I did. Thank You very much.

Ain't no shame in this pj game..

*hope you find your empty bottles*

Hey ladies used up a DM super buttercream (no backups)

Brownie518 I do not like the way that CD BV LI spritz feels on my wet hair. It actually makes it a bit hard and it's supposed to be for defanging there's no way I would be able to detangle with that stuff. However, my hair feels soft when it is dry. I'll try it for the reminder of the week on dry hair and see how that works, but it's definitely a no go on wet hair.

Thanks for that info. erplexed I was already skeptical so I don't think I'll be trying that one anytime soon.

natura87 I really like that conditioner; it's a pretty decent rinse out
