I am extending a previous challenge. I didn't see one for 2011. I kept most of the original rules but made some minor adjustments.
USE UP YOUR STASH CHALLENGE 2011
(April 1 2011 - June 30 2011 for 1st session) - CLOSED
(July 1 2011 - Sep 31 2011 for 2nd session)

Sign Up: I don't do cut offs. it may be totally unmaneagable but I will hope for the best.
The Rules:
1. Participants are allowed 1 (Yes ladies 1 product purchase per month). So you see its not that Bad !!!
2. Participants will also get 2 x "Emergency" Free passes (notice the emphasis on the word emergency) to replenish i.e. stock spilled in an accident etc.
3. Participants also get a 1 item pass for their birthday. And a 1 item pass for each hair length goal you reach. (I like to celebrate)
3. The idea is to decrease your stash not increase it. You are free to swap, sell, throw away and give away products to your hearts content as long as the stash is "decreasing". Remember you can also raid your kitchen for supplies. The idea is to be reasonable so be as creative as you like in how you use up your stash. You are also not bound to use products which clearly are not working for you. 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 reggies and learn to establish our staples by actually using the stuff instead of continually buying more !!!
4. You have 5 days (grace period) after you sign up for the challenge to make any VITAL purchases that you know you will be needing in advance. However be reasonable here otherwise you will be defeating the purpose ...
5. Ladies, please reserve a "place holder" and list your stash (Required) within 5 days of joining the challenge. If you have a REALLY Big stash, just try to get most of it in with the 1st 30 days.
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. The aim of this challenge is to actually give your hair a chance to find out what it likes by encouraging stability of product use and held curb our PJism at the same time !!!
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. This challenge will be split into 3 sessions (April to June, July to Sept., Oct-Dec). You can join 1 or all 3 at any time. The idea is to not make it so difficult that people will give up. This way it is more manageable. The idea is to encourage better spending habits and realise that product purchases is only half the answer in a healthy hair journey. The other half is discipline in our reggies !!!
Paste the following info if you’re up for the challenge
1. What are your motivations for joining this challenge?
2. A list of the products you hope to be using up in your stash? Include the ones you buy in your 5 day grace period. Use your own categories.
Suggested Categories:
- Shampoos
- Conditioners
- Deep Conditioners
- Leave Ins/Mosturizers
- Oils & Essential Oils & Butters
- Herbal & Ayurvedic Products

- Other
3. Post a Pic of your "Stash". (Optional)
4. Which session(s) you are joining. (go slow ladies and be realistic)?
(If you sign up, I will be updating the list every 2 to 3 days)
