Use Up Your Stash 2012 - Session 2

[sky035]

Update: This past wekeend I made the following products in order to use up my stash. I really like the fact that this thread keeps me accountable . When I get the itch to pick up something for my hair at the store, I just walk away because of this thread! Thanks OP .

1. Mixed 4 jars of hair moisturizer for my DD. I mixed Cantu shea butter with some natural conditioner. I hope that she will use up these jars by Dec 2012
2. Made 1 jar of ecsema cream for my DD's skin. Used shea butter, vitamin e, lanolin, and essential oil for fragrance. This cream works really well.
3. I recently finished up a jar of Kerasoft Hair gel
4. Used up all but one jar (started with 4) of the Proclaim Argan Oil Masque
5. Finished my DD's bottle of Tresemme naturals. I will not repurchase this for her hair as my ultimate goal in doing this challenge is to fine tune my reggie (and my DD's) and to transition to my own home products using natural /ingredients.

^^^^^Keep up the good work ma'am!

 

[Meritamen]

*sigh* I only used up one product so far this month.

 

[B_Phlyy]

I finally finished up something.

African Pride Shea Butter Miracle Leave-in Conditioner. This was some crap, but it help moisturize my edges a bit. I won't repurchase.

 

[JeterCrazed]

The Belegenza Encore is gone. Jesus wept.

 

[faithVA]

Have 1 to 2 more uses of the Shea Moisture Smoothie. It makes my hair soft. But I think I will try some other moisturizer in the future. I guess after I use it up I will move the the shea butter blend and try to use it up.

Woot Woot, yall ladies killing the stashes.

 

[Ogoma]

I think I have found my HG leave-ins and moisturizers. My search is complete. Now, I will sit back and enjoy using up my non-HGs until the end of this challenge. I have enough of my HGs to last until BF.

Throw the EQ out and use the buttercream as a lotion

What are you doing about your scalp being on fire? It sounds painful?

[Keishadt]

I grabbed up Giovanni Smooth As Silk conditioner while at Target today. Excited to revisit this product.

No it's not too late. We like company.

I broke down and ordered some Burt Bee's Pre-Shampoo. It was on my wish list. I will try to use up the Shea Moisture before it comes

 

[Ogoma]

faithVA: Is that the avocado one? Please let me know how it works for you.

 

[faithVA]

@faithVA: Is that the avocado one? Please let me know how it works for you.

Yes it's the avocado one. It gets such good reviews. And on Vitacost people were saying they used it as a leave-in as well. So can't wait to try it out as a pre-poo pre cut and as a leave-in post cut.

I need something to replace this Shea Moisture which is too thick.

You better! (insert devil face here....LOL)

Did I mention I traded for Bask tapioca, and Yam pudding? Oh, and I tried to get uncle funky's gel, just cause I like the bottle, lol. Oh, I almost bought a sedu, and a croc infraded flat iron, although I have two flat irons I have never used because I am in the no heat challenge. Lastly, I moved and it has taken me a week to unpack my stash; I haven't finished yet. Good news is I spilled a whole jar of babassu oil, and one of honeyquat as well. Bad news, I am going to replace the honeyquat. When I get my stash reduced, I am not going to be a product junkie anymore, unless I can afford for someone else to unpack my stash.

Used up Marie Dean wheat berry, going to follow with a blend of SD chocolate and vanilla silk.

This is how I got started on this challenge in the first place. I was having my house painted and I put a very large box in the shower and filled it with all my products. It was so heavy it was impossible to move it. And then I had another box on top of that. At that moment I committed I would never have that much stuff again

I will never have more hair products than I can put in a box that I can carry myself. Just my personal commitment.

 

[faithVA]

Did somebody say sumin? Naw, must just be the wind.

 

[Ogoma]

Used up Devacurl One.

Goodbye beloved conditioner . Hopefully, we'll meet again sometime in the future.

Moving was one of my catalyst as well. I had to pack just hair products in a trunk and it weighed 103lbs .

Funny, I just asked you about this conditioner in the Cowash challenge. Never mind that question then I got my answer.

If you do decide to repurchase later PaylessBeauty has a decent sale. You may have been the one who introduced me to them

I'm going to wait until after my hair cut to start using mine again. Then I will have just a little bit of hair to use it on to make it last

I just knew once my supplies started spilling into other rooms it was an issue. I have done pretty well, even though I allowed myself to get somethings this month.

I was moving from ny to fl and it was either my cloths or my hair products I gave away 70+ bottles and still had a 100lbs pound bag
