Will they even have any left?? Stick to your guns..you can do it!!

@CurlyMo: I know I'm one to talk considering I had a set back, but I think you can pass. There's usually some sort of BOGO sale w/ Organix which would equal/be better than the Albertson's sale.

So today I purchased the Giovanni Smooth As Silk for my protein treatment that I will be doing later this week. I hope it works. I have added it to my stash list.

I am proud of myself. While I was in Target picking it up, I didnt even go down the hair aisle. I saw "PRICE CUT" tags too! It was mostly because Hubby was with me but I still take a little credit.

@Lynnieluve: We have to claim even the smallest of victories.

I happily crossed some things off my stash list today. I also decided to extend my challenge a couple of weeks.

I cant seem to post pics of my HAM [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.] ...maybe its for the best...

In an attempt to use up my stash i did my moms hair.

OK I am in (after having my arm twisted)

I gotta get my list together'

Yay! Glad you decided to join us!

OK, well I have been using my stash. I was about to give my MJ curly meringue away (after only 1 use) but decided to try it again. The first time I used it for a WNG...which was a HAYLE NO! I have been using it this week for my BNC and I LOVE IT! It smells really good and provides me with definition.

Last night I used Samy's for my BNC. It's not bad today. I didn't like Samy for my WNG! I am still gathering products to bring with me to the Curly Meet-Up this weekend. I don't plan on swapping for anything (keep your fingers crossed)!

i was just minding my business coming out of Barnes &Noble and i looked across the street and saw a brand spankin new Ulta! that was a major test of strength the PJ in me wanted to go in there and see what all the hype i've been hearing is about...i just kept it moving and got in the car and drove the other way lol...but as soon as my PJ challenge ends i'm going on a mini spree lol

The less I buy, the more satisfied I am with the products I already have. I'm really starting to see the waste of money and time in always buying new products. Some things have only been used once or twice-- ridiculous.

I am so happy to be able to scratch another product off my list. Tonight since I had to retwist my hair anyway and my shea butter mix is running low, I decided to use the KBB Super Silky (sample size). I figured since it is not for my textured hair anyway I may as well use it up. There was just a little bit left so I just added it to my spritz.

**headed to update my list**

wooooow lynn, your hair is growing like fungus, lol. it's so funny seeing how far we've all come with length. i've been around for the past 4 months and to see you guys growth is amazing!

since i FINALLY took my twist out, i can enjoy my products already listed. im still itching to try the CURLS line but i want to feel like i accomplished something when i finish the challenge (esp for my oyin shoppin spree this spring), so im just gonna enjoy what i have!

one thing i know i dont need is anymore GELS!! i got eco styler, IC, qhemet and koils by nature! IM GOOD!!

Well...I am very proud to announce that I haven't purchased any products in a week. I did purchase Oyin Handmade products last week, but I did indicate that I would be purchasing those items when I joined this challenge. So technically I'm still good!!! Right?

So...I went to the store Monday to pick up a few things...cheese, spices ect...and what did I discover next door? Yes...a new BSS that I hadn't been in. I really thought I had covered all of them in my area. Sooooo......in I go.

I looked for products, I promised I did...and then I remember what my goal was for this challenge. So , I am proud to say that I didn't buy any products!!!!

However, I had to buy something y'all. I purchased a small brush, a satin sleep band, and a silk scarf. Just a few accessories~does that count?

I'm sorry....but I must confess "I am a Product Junkie", but I can say that I didn't buy any products on the 20th. That was my original routine..I purchase products on the 5th and 20th that I have on my products to purchase list.

I guess what I'm trying to say is....I'm still a work in progress.

lol, kinky; we're all works in progress! i dont count accessories unless i really NEED it. i almost spent $5 on a satin pillowcase in target but i put it back. lo and behold i just use my extra pillowcase from home and bring it to work with me (for now).

[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.] That is too funny!!

You dont need anymore gels and I dont need anymore shampoo. I only shampoo my hair once a month (sometimes twice if I use a "bad" product). When I do shampoo, I only used a little bit so if I had to guess, I know I have enough shampoo to last me for next 3 yrs. LOL!

I dont count accessories unless you are an "Accessory Junkie" too. [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.] for being one week clean. LOL!! No more hair products.

yes lynn, i agree; i definitely dont need anymore poo's! esp since i discovered dr. bronner castile soaps. i got the big 32oz bottles (baby mild and another scent) but you can use em for any and everything so they definitely last long!

@Nubie: I love, love, LOVE your new avatar!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Beautiful!

@KNH: I had to put myself on a no buy challenge w/ accessories too. Since I wasn't buying products, I felt like I HAD to buy something for my hair. So, don't count the accessories and hair tools like bonnets, etc. unless it starts to get out of hand!

I'm adding a product to my list today. I didn't buy it, it was sent to me complimentary to resolve a previous issue.
