Oh! And to further discourage your habit, write on your wall, in bold, red paint, the exact amount you spent on this batch of product. And then give them all away, so you are forever regretting spending all that money only to be a government handout..
I would like everything on that list please.. :)

It's okay, you had a good time and you got what you wanted! So.....put up your card and enjoy your products and when you get an urge......Point at yourself and say, "NO MORE HAIR STUFF" and stay far far away from the BSS, and if you do go leave your card at home and have very little cash. You can't pay for something you don't have  .

Just saw this  And what exactly will be the thesis behind your research, may I ask? The handwriting traits of a product junkie, right? I'm in deep, yall. Pray for me @ Lizette & femmemuscle : the day after I posted this, I added two more items (Keracare humecto cream conditioner and Triple moisture deep recovery mask) . I was nowhere near a BSS for these purchases, I made them online. And I only have one credit card. I'm a danger to myself, I need to be stopped.

Now JP.....tell us why you ordered the (Keracare humecto cream conditioner and Triple moisture deep recovery mask? Is it somethiing you couldn't live without OR you just couldn't help yourself? Are you getting into debt because you are reading about HP's on BHM? Be careful you will max out your card before you know it trying to keep up with what ppl on BHM are buying for their HJ. Just always ask yourself, "DO I REALLY, REALLY, REALLY NEED THIS PRODUCT?". If you see something you want to buy, think about it at least over night, more than likely the "URGE" will pass. My rule of thumb with CC is: If I can't pay the amount in full at the end of the month, I stop right then and add no more. Enjoy the products that you purchased this week, and then add as you go, but please don't max out your CC for hair products, they will be there if you want to buy/order later on. No more products for at least 1 month (you promise?), I will be waiting on your response  . Liz

I'm one but I have one rule that keeps me in check.
1) You can't use any new products until I finish one , I don't like to waste so this help me stop buying things because every time I get the urge I think of the drawer full of unopened products.

Because I've been looking for these two products in the past but couldn't find them where I live. Until I went on amazon.ca. I was so excited that I started getting auditory hallucinations. I kept hearing that deep masculine seductive voice crying out to me "HUMECTO! HUMECTO!!!!" So I broke down. And then I needed a second item so that they would waive the shipping fees, so I got the Triple Moisture to "save" on shipping Is it somethiing you couldn't live without OR you just couldn't help yourself? I knew it was wrong from the get go. But my fingers would not sync in with my brain, they just started dancing on the keyboard compulsively Are you getting into debt because you are reading about HP's on BHM?

Gulp... I promise, Liz. It's gonna be a struggle, I ain't gonna lie but I'ma be strong and make ya proud. Taping the bill on my computer desk with a cautionary note: "Say no to mindless consumerism or get ready to file chapter 11"
