End of HHJ Obsession/ Devotion

I've considered so many other areas of my life that could use this devotion. This is my goal deadline. I will have to purge all of my unused products and devote my time an energy to the betterment of another area of my life. MBL is my ultimate goal, but I have no idea where my hair will be come December 31, 2013. That will be five years of being hair obsessed.

My PJ Splurge

I had to end my pj rehab a little early, but no problem, the official challenge starts October 1st. I had been cruising the hair boards looking for deals before I go into this challenge again and I came across great deals from members looking to get rid of goodies. I re-upped on a few staples and was able to get alot of stuff off of my wish list for cheap prices. I even have a few freebies. So this is everything that I purchased in the last two days off of my fave hair boards, some new and some gently used. I paid through paypal for all of my transactions. I haven't had any problems thus far, I am a frequent pj exchange offender. Not to mention, I have a product that I am looking to get rid of and exchange. I don't want to sell it b/c it is the only protein product that I have and I might need it. I am trying to get rid of the Aphogee 2 Min Reconstructor. It's new, never used plus I didn't like the sample. I would like to trade it for either 1-15oz Motions CPR Treatment Conditioner since they are the same price and I have the 16oz. bottle of Aphogee or 1 Joico DPR those are the only two protein treatments that my hair likes. I've learned not to play with protein or shampoos, if my hair likes these, I don't plan to stray. I bought this Aphogee in Mar. 09 before I was ready to start claiming and restocking staples.

Back to business, this is what I purchased yesterday and today:
H2T Length Check T-Shirt
Macadamia Oil
Wild Growth Oil
Wild Growth Oil Lotion
Duck Bill Clips
3 pkgs of grey and purple magnetic rollers. I think I should've upgraded the size of my rollers awhile ago.
Design Essential HCO Leave In/ Blowdry Lotion
NTM Silk Touch Leave In
Hollywood Beauty Castor Oil and another one that I am not sure of the name
Salerm Leave In
Alter Ego Nourishing Leave In
ORS Creamy Aloe
JMR Shampoo-1L/$10- Couldn't pass this up.
Oh and, how could I forget Linange Relaxer Set

Freebies:
africas best liquid hair mayo leave in
finishing mist by wave nouveau
silk elements mega cholesterol
and few more that I don't know the name of

My New and Improved Wishlist-Surprising, but this is really it.
Pibbs Dryer
Steamer
Nature's Way HSN Vitamins- this has everything that I look for in my multivitamin so that will cut out an extra vitamin.I'll probably need to repurchase my vitamins soon, I am down to half a jar. I take a multivitamin, garlic and an HSN vitamin.
MSM powder form or capsules- I liked the results I had with MSM, I ran out so I will look for a better quality brand instead of Wal-Mart brand, I didn't have any side effects but I hear it is possible with MSM if it is poor quality.

And yes I will do another inventory in December.

Now for the good news my 6 month stretch is almost over. It ends October 20-something. I'll be taking these twists down on the 10Th, they were fun while they lasted a very cute style, but I miss my hair and I need to make sure my hair is properly prepped for relaxer and a thorough trim. I will be using my H2T length shirt as well, to track my progress from this point out. I will also post NG pics before I relax and before/after trim pics. I want to go with a u-shape/almost blunt cut trim.


DISCLAIMER- Whether my review is good, bad or downright ugly, I am in no way affiliated with any of the aforementioned products. I am a consumer and I purchase all of the aforementioned products with my husbands hard-earned money. I am a self-made pj without any reimbursement or acknowledgement from any product companies.

You have some great buys! I want to try the Macadamia Oil too. Is the Macadamia Oil thick? ...lol...You know what don't answer that...I'm trying to calm my PJ ways, AGAIN! :)
Also my sister swears by that HB Castor Oil, it makes her hair feels soft.
