Well-Known Member
SO HERE IT IS LADIES :grin:

If you don't see your name and want to join, Please thank this post and YOUR IN :yep: . Thanks Ladies and Lets USE IT UP in 2014

Sessions are as follows:
Session 1 - Jan. 1, 2014 - April 30, 2014 COMPLETED!
Session 2 - May 1, 2014 - August 31, 2014 IN PROGRESS!
Session 3 - Sept. 1, 2014 - December 31, 2014

The Rules:

1. Use the suggested categories or add categories of your own, list your stash within 5 days of joining the challenge. If you have a REALLY Big stash, put in a little at a time. But keep your list updated with the products used, given away, exchanged, etc.

Posting a starting pic of your stash is optional. You can then update this "place holder" as we go along with details of what you have used, sold, exchanged and given away.

2. For each category you can include 1 item for a staple. Mark this item. You can purchase 1 staple item per category to have 1 on hand without using a pass. If you stock up on staples anything beyond 1 item must be put in your stash list.

3. Participants are allowed 1 product purchase per month

4. The idea is to decrease your stash not increase it. You are free to swap, sell, throw away and give away products to your heart’s content as long as the stash is "decreasing". The aim is to be reasonable and realize that we do not need to buy so much stuff but rather be more disciplined with our regiments and learn to establish our staples by actually using the stuff instead of continually buying more !!!

6. Also please check in every 2 weeks to let us all know how it is going and to get support so you do not fall off the challenge.

7. If you fall off the wagon, update your stash list and get back in the game. The idea is to encourage better spending habits, make wise product purchases and to gain discipline in our regimens.


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

1. What are your motivations for joining this challenge?

2. List the products you hope to use up in your stash. Use your own categories.

Suggested Categories:
- Shampoos
- Conditioners
- Deep Conditioners
- Leave Ins/Moisturizers
- Oils & Essential Oils & Butters
- Herbal & Ayurvedic Products
- Styling products
- Other

3. Post a Pic of your "Stash". (Optional)

4. What are your goal(s) for the session
i.e. – reduce my stash by 20%
i.e. – to have 1 shampoo, 2 conditioners, 3 styling products, etc.
[Fill in your goal]

I'm happy to have items to report already:

Used up:
*L'Oreal Unfrizz Smoothing Shampoo--not even sold anymore
*Clairol Root Touch-Up--will repurchase when it's time to do my hairline again
*Nubian Heritage Honey and Black Seed Heat Protect Keratin Leave-In Conditioning Cream--I really liked this, but I'm finding NH increasingly HTF. Maybe after I use up some of this other stuff if it's available

Gave away:
* Aveda Be Curly--to my sister, she'll be wearing WnGs this summer. I won't.

I'm in again! I'll post my updated stash but this morning I finished Oyin whipped pudding. I'd been using it as a body cream. It's a repurchase but as a body cream. I like it on my hair but I've got two moisturizer staples already.

I did good last session. Only bought gel, marley hair, and hair vitamin gummies... I think. Lol

I'm happy to have items to report already:

Used up:
*L'Oreal Unfrizz Smoothing Shampoo--not even sold anymore
*Clairol Root Touch-Up--will repurchase when it's time to do my hairline again
*Nubian Heritage Honey and Black Seed Heat Protect Keratin Leave-In Conditioning Cream--I really liked this, but I'm finding NH increasingly HTF. Maybe after I use up some of this other stuff if it's available

Gave away:
* Aveda Be Curly--to my sister, she'll be wearing WnGs this summer. I won't.

I have seen Nubian Heritage at Wegmans in the organic food section for years.

1. What are your motivations for joining this challenge?

I need to reduce my stash. I have spent way too much money and I need to work through it all. To save money and purchase less stuff.. That's right I said stuff
