See, this is why I wanted to go to the health food store - because I knew, KNEW if I ordered online, I'd talk myself into getting a bunch of stuff, instead of JUST the short list that I wanted.
So, me & mountainrose herbs just had a good ole time together, and I ended up with:
8oz Horsetail (Shavegrass) organic (for the MoeGro recipe)
8oz Nettle Leaf organic (for the MoeGro recipe)
1lb Fenugreek Seed powder organic (for some extra slip)
8oz Hibiscus powder organic (I'll have to look up what this is for, but I've been wanting it for a while)
8oz Irish Moss powder (another 'slippy' agent)
8oz Cobalt Blue Jar (I got two of these, to store stuff in)
1oz Amyris essential oil (It's supposed to smell like sandalwood - I want to add this to my homeade leave-ins to give them some aroma)
1/2oz Lemongrass essential oil organic (also to give my leave-ins some aroma)
16oz Castor oil organic (Soooo much cheaper than the CO from the grocery store, and I'm going to use this for the MoeGro recipe..)
8oz Neem Oil (Yeah, I just got this. :lachen)
8oz Amber Screw Cap Bottle (to infuse my MoeGro Oil in)
*wiggles nose*
Plus, I went to Ulta yesterday, and I actually did really good. I got some Good Hair Days pins (which - ohmygods, those things are FABULOUS!!!! Super hold. SUPER HOLD. I didn't think a hair pin could hold so well), some of that 'temp' haircolor stuff in the mascara bottle (which I think might be really fun), and a 2oz thing of Ojon Ulta Hydrating Conditioner (which smells SOOOOOO good. SO GOOD), and I think it will make a wonderful leave in.
And! I found my do-rag, so I didn't have to buy one......
I think I'm ready for July!

No, I got a pack of ten for - 2.99, I think it was?? VERY cheap considering I can twist my hair up, and use ONE pin to hold it (and I mean HOLD IT!) in place, vs. the 50-11 bobby pins I had to use before (that would still wiggle out).
I'm using two to hold my conditioner soaked hair up - which AMAZES me, as they haven't slipped, at ALL.

Congrats to everyone who made it through June. I didn't buy a single thing for the month - nada. Anyone up for the month of July? I've decided I'm not going to buy anything - except for some Kinky Curly hair gel today (I love this stuff all over again - I'm having the best hair days), until I use up all of the stuff that I have. I have soooooooooo much stuff that without buying any condish for two months I still have tons of it left. I have (had) a problem.
Ah well, that means I don't really need it, eh?
