When this challenge is over/ when I've used up my Organix and shampoo, I think I'll treat myself to some of that Giovani everyone is talking about!!!
I'm just about out of a protein, so I'll re-purchase the NTM Masque. ANY SUGGESTIONS ON A PROTEIN CONDITIONER???
I typically don't do heavy protiens/ Aphogee, I feel I'm okay on that. but still up for suggestions!!
Pic of my stash!! green is staple

I have been mia. Even with hurricane Irene we had Happily Natural day in Richmond. And I had planned to purchase products regardless of my stash which I did. Fortunately there weren't many vendors there so I didn't have a lot of temptation.
Since I started using the Terresentials mud wash I have eliminated most products with synthetics. And vendors at the shows typically are making their own products so it works out well. I ended up buying products mainly from from the Zuresh line. I purchased a conditioner, a leave-in, a hydrating mist, a gel and a twisting creme. I also bought a leave-in from one of the other vendors.
Going to add these to my stash. I am finished with my purchases for the year. I will probably make anything else I need.
I am definitely ready for a product swap. Maybe I will look into selling my wares on LHCF.

Yeah, I don't think much is going on for anyone. The thread has been really quiet. Maybe I will send out a feeler at the end of September and then let the thread just ride out until December.
No matter, what I think many of us will use up some stuff between the start and December. So its all good.

I used up some Suave Fresh Mountain Strawberry condish last night. I'm working on some EVOO and some Suave Cucumber Melon conditioner for the end of the month.
I really liked my braids for a protective style but it definitely kept me from using as much product as I could. I'm on a personal daily co wash challenge for this month so hopefully I make a dent in something.
I haven't bought anything though. And I've been quite tempted.

Keep going ladies. Let's finish the year off strong.
I have a little ways to go. I still want to find a moisturizer for my twists or make one. And I want to use up the AOHSR which is not one of my favs. Going to try it in the kimmay tube leave-in mix to see if I can use it for that.

Hi faithVA
I have been a frequent lurker on this thread and have been following the challenge on my own. Wanted to let you know that using the AOHSR in the Kimmay tube mix is a great way to use up conditioners that you really don't care for as a stand alone. I used it in the mixture and it really turned out nice. Back to lurking.

I seem to be adding more to my stash 
but now it isn't as random as before. My purchases are more thought out. I am still looking for a good moisturizer for my twists. And I still haven't found one.
Bought some products from the product exchange
2 bottles of jojoba oil (for oil rinsing)
8 oz of shea butter : going to make some shea aloe butter
8 oz of cocoa butter ... not sure what I'm going to do with this
1 shea butter mix ... like this
1 castor oil blend... will also use this for oil rinses and as the base for my on oil blend
and I bought a bottle of the Shea Moisturize Coconut oil and hibiscus mist. I tried it last night and its sticky. But I have to try it again earlier during the day to see if the stickiness last. I put the shea butter mix on this morning and my hair feels soft but not sticky.
Out of the Zuresh products I like the conditioner, leave-in and butter. The gel and mist are toooooo sticky and I hate sticky. Going to hold onto the gel until the spring and try it on wet hair for a wng. If it doesn't work then I will get rid of it. The mist I will just blend with AVG until it is diluted.
I am still on the hunt for a moisturizing product for my twist. But besides that I am done with purchases for the year. I have enough of everything to make it.

Still working on decreasing my stuff even though I did buy some new things. Been doing some cleaning and I found some more products that had been stored in random places! AHHHH! And there are some conditioners and gels that I want to try too but I'm not allowing myself to until I cut this stash in half.

Glad to see you are still hanging in there and working through your stash no matter how slowly. Hopefully by years end you will see a dent and stop finding hidden stuff

I doubt I will use up anything much for the remainder of the year. I won't be buying any products though (maybe Wen Pumpkin & Pomegrante). I have more then my fair share of everything else though LOL
I honestly don't plan to wear my hair out for a long time until April so maybe then I will get some use. I might as well cancel that other Gallon of Wen coming as I won't be done or half way done with the one I have already. Plus if I purchase the others that gallon will definitely hold me round to the next year.
I wish the body cleanser came in a gallon. I love that and have requested all gifts contain atleast this product.

Good point JJamiah cause i only plan on getting conditioners for washing and adding just one item to that.
I also find that i've to make sure i stay consistent with my vitamins so i can finish the 8 bottles i have and replenish only the ones that are necessary.
