why do you go around...asking for the impossible?

are you proposing a 12 step progam with meetings?

a support buddy?

I'll need phone numbers of people I can call when I get that midnight itch to go to Walgreen's and by their newest hairdini. :look:

I already know I cannot do this, so I'm out. LOL

ETA: If I can go on a shopping spree tomorrow then maybe I can last a month. Does that count?

rofl @ one last binge before rehab....

its NOT IMPOSSIBLE... think about ALL of the UNused stuff ya got.... it SURELY can get ya thru 4 short weeks...
 
Having buddies is advisable....

We can support each other too... it wont be easy for me... I will probably walk past a Korean BSS and get the shakes... but Im determined!!

you're a mess.... I actually do use my Shikakai bar on my face.... I somehow think you will have a hard time with this challenge... How about you aim for a week, the 1st week of the month and we go from there.....

okay! I can do a week. Let me put my game face on (starting may 2). i do have to buy some small stuff when i get to monterey cause i don't wanna pack bottles of liquid so i have to deal with a spill from the plane ride.
 
This made my heart skip a beat just reading it. What If I run out of conditioner....?:nono: Those other 20 conditioners I have dont work as well as my new one.

okay...I guess I mean business!
I decided to add my first ticker to my signature---just to remind myself! I guess this is my self-imposed Step Three to Pj recovery.

Step One was actually opening this thread and two was signing up.
I'm still breathing hard.
:blush:
 
Those of you who think this will be hard, may need it the most. I started a personal buy nothing challenge in june of 06. I am still attempting to use up products that I have.:ohwell: I had way too much stuff.

I am so in!! Today I'm going to buy some hair trimming shears and then on Thursday it'll be on--or off:look:--I won't be buying anything else! Besides, since I joined the Nail Fanatics that's where all my money has been going.
 
i'm in!!!

i just need to stock up before the 1st :lachen:

just kidding. i need to use up everything i have. this will be good for me :yep:
 
I have one purchase to make myself... I want some Mizani perm... JC penney didnt have any today so I gotta get it tomorrow elsewhere... Im planning on perming my hair mid-May

then Im buying NOTHING for a month
 
I will commit to this challenge...thanks to intervention from mastercard and visa. They are forcing me to do this. The customer service rep said I must have hair down to my butt because I purchase alot of beauty products. :ohwell: No where near that! I NEED A New Flat Iron ASAP! I withdraw...June is better for me. I will add a week in June to equal to 30 days.
