3. Post a Pic of your "Stash". (Optional) Nope, Not ready to deal with the shame

4. What are your goal(s) for the session

Reduce the stash by 10-15 products. I'll be purging some products soon because I just have way too many styling products that are old, don't work for my natural hair, or just don't need anymore.
 
Do you have that one product in your stash that when you look at it, it just gets on your nerves? You don't think it will ever go away? :lol:

I have this shea butter blend that seems like I have buckets and buckets of it. Ok, its not that much but it seems like it. I tried to use it every time I seal my ends and I swear it looks like there is the same amount in there that was in there in January.

I haven't brought myself to throw it out yet. But I feel so tempted. :lol:

I may melt it down and put it in a smaller container and maybe I will feel better :ohwell:

GOODNESS, YES! I had a jar of Mizani Coconut souffle that I couldn't seem to get to the bottom of. I really was starting to think that Mizani had some trick jar that added a little more product just as soon as I put it away. UGH! finally got down to the end of it after what seemed like a year, lol!
 
I read a review for herbal essence Hello hydration, so I picked up the shampoo, then found out everyone was talking about the conditioner. This bottle has taken forever to go through. Seems to stay in the same spot.

My Nexxus Emergencee - Someone keeps refilling it :giggle:
 
I'm in. Marking my spot to come back and reassess my stash.

ETA: I've got some sulfate free shampoo, garlic conditioner, Skala, and countless types of creamy moisturizers I need to use up. I also have a litre of sunflower oil to use up.

Thanks ladies. I needed that vent. And hearing that something is bugging you too made me feel a little better :look: Misery loves company?

Not sure if I will ever buy another butter again :lol:
 
@xu93texas, your siggy protective style is beautiful. Share PLEASE!

Thanks lady! It's a sew in. I really like it, but I'm kinda bummed out about not being able to use up my stash for the next 6 weeks. I'm in a "KISS mood right now". The only thing I do is moisturize braids every other night, apply jbco or Peppermint Pomade to nape and edges. I cleanse my scalp with TW Moisture Clenz when needed and I plan to go to the salon every other week for wash/style. So my product usage will be zilch for May/early June. :ohwell:
 
Shampoos and Cleansing Conditioners:
Nexxus Aloe rid
Kids Organics Shea Moisture Poo
Giovanni Smooth as Silk Poo
Hair One for Curly Hair
Aphogee Shampoo for Damag

Keishadt, I just got a jar of this LOL, IDK if thats a good or bad thing LOL..... I love the smell of it though :lick:.

Seamonster, I love me some HE HH.

JJamiah, this stuff needs not to run out. The bottle is too dang small anyways and its $15.

It was a decent product for me when I was transitioning, but it just took so long to get rid of. Nothing bugs me more than having a product that I don't love/non staple lingering on. I refused to throw it out or give it away though...:drunk: Now that I'm natural I was considering picking it up again to see how it would work for me, but then I remembered how long it took to use up and I put it right back on the shelf!

@faithVA what you looking at

I have allowed temptation to pass. I am back in control of my senses.
 
I'm down for Session 2. Total Count: 10

Paste the following info if you’re up for the challenge


What are your motivations for joining this challenge?
I didn't get rid of the stash during Session 1 - of course! As I started getting rid of the old stash, I found other products that I need to *disappear* and I also have moved onto more natural (organic) products so I have some new staples to add to the list as well.

- Shampoos
Chagrin Valley Butter Bar Conditioning Shampoo Bar - 7 oz. (2)

- Conditioners
Suave Naturals Refreshing Tangerine Conditioner - 22.5 fl. oz.
Suave Naturals Sun-Ripened Strawberries Conditioner - 22.5 fl. oz.


- Deep Conditioners
Dove Intensive Repair Conditioner - 25.4 fl. oz.

- Leave Ins/Moisturizers
Qhemet Biologics Burdock Root Butter Cream - 8 fl. oz.
Qhemet Biologics Amla & Olive Heavy Cream - 8 fl. oz.

- Oils & Essential Oils & Butters
Sunny Isle Extra Dark JBCO - 8 oz.
Sunny Isle EVCO - 4 oz.


- Other
Fantasia IC Heat Protector - 6 oz.

What are your goal(s) for the session?
Get down to my staples and nothing else. I want the entire stash gone by the end of Session 2.

* HGs/Staples are bolded. Everything else has to go!

I melted down that shea butter blend that was buggin me and put it in a smaller container. I wasn't sure if it was going to fit. If it didn't I was going to throw out the extra. But if filled the other container. It hasn't solidified yet. It will probably take a week since it is very warm here. Maybe I will feel better about using it :look: Or by the time it is getting on my nerves I can melt it down and put it an even smaller container.
 
Made a dent in some products. Didn't use up anything but...

Have 1/8 of a bottle of SM Mist left.
Have 1 use left of SM Yucca conditioner
Have 1/2 bottle of SM Yucca Leave-in.
 
Last little bit of that first bottle of grapseed oil is gone. Used the last of my emu oil as well. Killed off the last little corner of evoo that I had too.
