[JJamiah]

Good point JJamiah cause i only plan on getting conditioners for washing and adding just one item to that.

I also find that i've to make sure i stay consistent with my vitamins so i can finish the 8 bottles i have and replenish only the ones that are necessary.

SUNSHINE BABY you and me both have to finish the 8 bottles of Vitamins LOL, and they are not even my favorites. I am going to finish my Nioxin, and I want to get my GNC Hair nails and skin again because that vitamin makes my skin GLOW GLOW GLOW, all the facials I get and WOW this vitamin does it like nobodies business within 5 days of taking it

I am on a youthful kick trying to rejuvenate my skin at 33!

Must have been a good week. Quite a few updates this week

 

[faithVA]

Haven't used anything up and not close on too many things. But able to use what I have more consistently. I like my new Zuresh leave-in. Will have to do a comparison with my other leave-ins to see if it is a staple. Love the new Earthen Springs Naturals shea butter mix. It's not too heavy or oily.

Did my twists last night and determined that twisting with just better does not work for me. It leaves my hair too soft and then my hair just looks frizzy. Applying a leave-in, butter and then gel gives my twists some hold. So I at least know gel is part of my regimen.

Will be doing my hair every week in this twist challenge so I should go through product steadily.

 

[Lanea87]

African Royale BRX Braid & Extentsions Spray
Infusium 23 Repair & Renew Leave-In Treatment
WGO
......using these items daily and will be done with the braid spray soon. Maybe I should get heavy fingered with it.

Whenever I get heavy fingered, it seems to last longer

thanks for the update. I love that thing you two do with your username. So cute and so original.

Only 8 of the 12 count towards this challenge and thats not too bad But hopefully you will put them to good use and they are things you actually want to use.

 

[BreeNique]

Pic of the newest editions to my stash!
SOOOOOOOOOOOOO excited to re-work my regimen!!!

In TreseMee bottle, aloe vera.

Ignore Kenra bottle

 

[Lanea87]

Whenever I get heavy fingered, it seems to last longer

That doesnt make me feel good!

 

[faithVA]

That doesnt make me feel good!

Sorry It will be different for you

 

[B_Phlyy]

I used up a bottle of Suave Fresh Apple Blossom conditioner and EVOO the other night. I really want to get the Curls Transitioning Kit but I will wait a while.

 

[Lanea87]

Sorry It will be different for you

You cant change it up now LOL

 

[faithVA]

I've done all I can with this AOHSR and I can't get it to do anything for my hair. I could just as easily put a box on my head and it have the same effect. So this is also going in the giveaway box.

And I tried the Zuresh Honey Gel again on really wet hair to see if it wouldn't be sticky. It is successful at helping me keep my hands out of my hair. Today after it dried, its sticky, sticky, sticky. My mom used this product with no problem so it is headed to her.

 

[faithVA]

Ladies the end of this sessions challenge is next Friday, a week away. So use up what you can and report in and let us know how you did.

We will start the next session October 1st but keep it in this same thread since there are so few of us.

Let me know if you are continuing with the next session or stopping here.

Good luck ladies and thanks for your support.

Lord, I have more products now than I started with this go around. *sigh* Will have to do better the next go around.

 

[wheezy807]

Looking forward to session 3 when i can join in with you ladies!

@faithVA i dunno this thread is kinda long to me. Anyway i can persuade you to start a new thread for session III???oke:

 

[JJamiah]

faithVA I am definitely in for the next session.

I did well, I used up a little and may have bought 1-3 products nothing much. I have to see what is going this time, I doubt anything but I also won't be buying anything much. I am wigging it up until April so, I just break my hair down cleanse, deep condition and put back up for a month. Low maintaining and loving it!

I can start a new thread but this thread has been sooooo quiet. It just seems like a waste especially when there may only be around 7 of us continuing on.

But if enough want a new thread it can be done.

 

[wheezy807]

I hear what are saying. That makes sense, either way i'm in...

 

[B_Phlyy]

I bought a new winter spray moisturizer. But I'm working hard on a V05 conditioner. I hope to be finished by the end of this session.

I think we should have a new thread, just cause lol.

 

[NikkiQ]

I'm rollin with this challenge til the wheels fall off! Haven't been able to use up many more products lately due to stupid busy schedule and wedding/honeymoon, but I'm going hard in round 3.

 

[gigi2011]

Hello there, I'd still like to remain in the challenge. I haven't been updating lately, it just seems to be going sooo slow. I have used up 13 things so far (50 more to go) and purchased maybe 4 items during the challenge. But I did cave into the deals for Aveyou that were circulating and have resigned myself to not use them until November. We'll see how that goes, I'll continue to push forward until then and make sure to update.

 

[Golden75]

I've been quietly updating. Been bad, very, very bad. But going forward I will do much much better. I promise.

I will keep kinky twists in so that buying products will be useless since I can't use. Le sigh. I have to stop. I am a junkie & it's terrible, but I just love hair, face, & body products.

So I will join in October & really put forth a better effort then I did this session.

 

[YoursTrulyRE]

I am still in. I have gotten rid of a lot of products but have added a lot to my stash trying to find my staples. But I have added more staples and I have stockpiled because of the aveyou.com deal. So I will be working to use these and not buying anything else until I get back down to a reasonable amount.

 

[faithVA]

Ladies thanks for your feedback. So please give us your final update between now and Friday consisting of

Starting #
Ending # or Percentage reduced

And I will start a new thread for the next session Thursday or Friday.

 

[faithVA]

Here is my update because I won't use up anything between now and Friday.

Session 1 Starting Count: 24
Session 1 Ending Count : 16

I have 10 items in my give away box that still need a home. I am hoping we have a local product exchange soon. Its' too much to throw away and I don't feel like trying to sell them.
