Use Up Your Stash 2013 - Session 1

[JJamiah]

Ladies let's use up your stash and save some cash! 2013 is a new year and save some money..... while reducing clutter and waste.

If you no longer want to be in this challenge and see your name please IM me to remove it. If you don't see your name and want to join, Please thank this post; . Thanks Ladies and Lets USE IT UP in 2013

Session 3


Sessions are as follows:
Session 1 - Jan. 1, 2013 - April 30, 2013
Session 2 - May 1, 2013 - August 31, 2013
Session 3 - Sept. 1, 2013 - December 31, 2013


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]

[JJamiah]

I have a significant stash still. I have a feeling my hair will be drinking up products. Last year I did well not purchasing a ton or a lot of products. Like I said in the last challenge it trickled down to various other areas of life. I have goals this year to save and this challenge will help to continue to get me there.

 

[SunySydeofLyfe]

Add me, please. I'm going to work on making a stash list this weekend.

 

[JazzyOleBabe]

[Ogoma]

I am in. I will update the list next week when I am home.

1. What are your motivations for joining this challenge?
To document what products worked, why, and how long products last.

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

http://www.longhaircareforum.com/showpost.php?p=17609995&postcount=35

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

[EnExitStageLeft]

Welcome back ladies
and welcome @EnExitStageLeft nice for you to join us for this upcoming new year.

Thanks JJamiah .

 

[IDareT'sHair]

Oils and Butters:
1 Darcy's Botanicals Pumpkin Seed Elixir
1 Darcy's Botanicals Coco Bean Hair and Body Oil
1 SheScentIt Carrot and Pumpkin Seed Defrizzer (Already in progress, I frickin' loveeeeeeeeee it)
I want all of these gone by July or August (Session 2) . I will exclusively use them until they are gone.

I have 2 or 3 products I'll probably give a to a friend of mine .

EnExitStageLeft

Which do you like the best DB's or SSI's? I've been wanting to try SSI's. I like DB's.

 

[EnExitStageLeft]

IDareT'sHair
Hands Down SSI's.

The DB's is good, but SSI's is far more superior. It has ceramides, it gives a nice glossy shine and it leaves the hair nice and fluffy. I really like it. The DB is good, but it only available on Sage. I think they discontinued it .

 

[southerncitygirl]

thanks for tagging me EnExitStageLeft

i don't have much of a stash and usually just buy 2-4 items at a time to tide me over for a few months. sometimes friends give me their natchal products if they don't like them.

i guess this is a good way to keep track of what i have:
Shampoo in 8oz size:

Giovanni 50:50 and SAS

Conditioners/DC's:
Hydroquench Systems Go Deep
Aubreys HSR & GBP

Moisturizers:
Claudies revitalizer: Isha, Murumuru-Acai, balancing ends insurance and quinoa-coffee balancing

Oils/Butters: some are multi-purpose and i use them for cooking, supplements, or bodycare)
sapote
evoo
evco
east african shea 16oz
west african shea 8oz
jbco (running low on this, may replace it with clear castor)
hemp

Styling products:
DB leave-in 8oz
afroveda whipped gelly 2 16oz jars


I don't plan on getting anymore hair gel till april-may, leave-in until feb-march, moisturizer till feb-march.

I need to pickup castor oil in the next 2 weeks though.

When I get my vitamin shoppe rewards for what I spent over the past year I may stockpile shampoo/conditioner along with some goodies for my internal healthy when it comes in january.


Now if this use up your stash was for my herbal/wholefoods supplements, detoxes and loose leaf tea I'd be in world of trouble I just ordered about $500 worth of detoxes, herbs, cleanses, etc. The stuff will last for 3-4 months though. The sad thing is that I want to place a custom loose leaf tea order with mountain rose herbs for about 5-7 lbs of 3 different teas. I guess I could have a worst addiction

 

[Aggie]

I'll be stalking this thread because I don't have half as many products as I did when I first joined this board but I still have a ways to go though. I just like being able to document bringing my stash down to an acceptable level.

 

[TrueSugar]

I am in I really want to work on using up my stash in 2013, I really did not do well in 2012.

 

[lamaria211]

I'm in this year it won't be so hard because after a few bad experiences my PJism is just about ova!

 

[classoohfive]

Copying and pasting from the third session of 2012. I could have done better in the last session, but I cut back my spending so it works out.

I did add the Henna Sooq / Sweet Honey Enriching Hair Nourisher to my list from Black Friday. Let me be great.

4. What are your goal(s) for the session
Session 1 Jan-Apr: I would like to have finished all of the Dr Organics conditioners and the Matrix Biolage products by the end of the first session at the very least. I know I will always love using lots of different products so I'm aiming for 3 products in each category by the end of the year to have as my staples, that way I can switch up depending on how me or my hair are feeling.

Session 2 May-Aug: I used most of the Dr Organics for mixing pre-poos and co-washing, I have 2 full bottles of this left and 1 .5 bottles of the green tea con that I want to use up. I have about 10 bottles in total I wish to use up quickly, I will be purchasing one bottle per month from my wish list and adding it to my items not included to stash list. I will be adding the Mizani items to my stash. I've decided eventually to use my DC's to co-wash/pre-poo with so I will be running down the items in that list as the weather improves. By the end of this session I will be ready to add the items not included to my current stash.

Session 3 Sept-Dec: I will be purchasing everything on my wish list and adding them to my current stash. As these are the only products I really want to try, I thought I may as well add them to my stash and have a final stash list. I can take my time to work through them and find my staples. I will only repurchase the HG's and staples until I have run down my stash, my goal is to have 3 items in each category and 6 oils. I plan to stock pile ORS replenishing conditioner before the new pac formula is converted to the bottles.

Next year's challenge I envisage I will be in this challenge for another year still working my way through my stash, I would like almost all the items in my stash to be natural/organic except for Aphogee 2-min, ORS replenishing con, heat protection and oil sheen. I want my stash to be between 24-30 items.

Total start count = 76
Current count = 54/76
Used up = 22
Red = gone
Blue = monthly purchase pass
Green = give away
Orange = thrown away
