(((hug))) It's ok girl, I'm still trying to go strong, thinking about whether I should use the pass on may 10th or not, I've been doing really well. This is really hard:nono:
 
Ok. So I used the pass on may 10th:look: and bought 3 conditioners from Creme of Nature on Ebay, the CON shampoo (red label) and one product from the Redken Heat Styling collection. That's it:). At least I went three months without buying anything ;-).
 
I used my Mother's Day pass to buy hydrolized keratin, cocoa essential oil, a non-formaldehyde Brazilian Keratin Treatment, after care products, swine flu masks and safety glasses with sides. I couldn't justify purchasing a fume extractor because the cheapest one I could find in 220V was 90 British Pounds. I asked my SO to make one using my old vacuum. It just sits in the basement since I bought my new one. He thinks the big window in the bathroom and 2 fans will be sufficient but the PJ Techie Geek in me wanted a fume extractor. I couldn't talk him into one though. Darn!

If this is Current -- I am Officially Signing Up ! Ya'll I need a Serious Intervention or the Laying On Of Hands or Something Up in this Piece !:help:

It's actually quite Sad when you Finally Realize, you are a Serious Hard-Core Product Junkie and Not Just a Recreational User:nono: And You Got a Hair Monkey on Your Back
 
Hey ladies anyone is welcomed to join, I know its probably not the norm but im not doing names this time. For the new people start date is may 30th - june 30th. Just come on in and post. Thank ladies.
 
I want to join. This is going to be so hard but I really need this. And having a Walgreen's,Rite Aide and Four BSS within walk distance is not going to make this easy. Oh yeah and a Family Dollar. Everytime I leave the house my SO is asking me where I'm going.:eye: then he questions me so much I don't wnat to go. I think he'd be happier if it was another man. At least he could argue with somebody how can he get mad at my hair. Poor thing. I'm in.

:look: Well im not very motivated to do this anymore but ill do it for my girls. Whoever wants to join feel free to just post whenever you like. I guess this is the sign i needed to slow my roll. Girl makeup doesn't count and body product don't count either:look:.
 
Do you think its alright for my father's day pass be exchanged for a June 6th pass?
Cuz umm Qhemet is having a sale, and I am replenishing some of my staples but I also want to try some other products from her.

I know, for shame, for shame.

:look: Go for it, You gotta do what you gotta do.
 
We have about two weeks left and I want to say that I didn't buy anything that was needed. I have learned that my staples are:

-All things KeraCare
-Nexxus Phyto-Organics (for a change)
-Aphogee Keratin Two-Minute DC
-Oils for prepoo (but I have tons of them)
-Flax Seed Oil pills for my terrible scalp
-My inventory spreadsheet (it helps me plan my shampoos in advance)
-Constant advice from my favorite hair care sistas......
