EDA:

I'm working on Qhemet Biologics.

This is way too fun!!

I also put pic's of my stash

If any of you want to do a guest blog spot (Solidgold would you do one on lowpoo's?) let me know! I'm all for it!



This is my first ever blog experience.

It's called The Wavy Tales and here's the link:

http://thewavytales.blogspot.com/

I'll be posting product reviews, thoughts, ideas, etc. If it is even 1/4 as fun, interesting, informative, and just all around great as Jess's or RCC's or Jillipoo's I will be overjoyed!

I thought I'd do my first postings on Curl Junkie products...but goodness knows I'll probably end up getting addicted to blogging like everything else related to CG :):):)

So does anyone have other ideas for what to put on there? I'm not a scientist/expert type like Del and Jillipoo so I thought I'd leave all that good info to them...I just want to post about products and get people's thoughts and so on.

If you would like to give your input on CJ products please post here and let me know which ones you like and why--and if you give permission for me to post it with your nc.com user name or just as anonymous:)

Let the blogging begin!

    Me too! AJJ, you're so good at product reviews. Just keep recording your experiences and experiments and we'll be faithful readers. (And of course, you have to cross-post here to keep the product reviews robust!)

    Awesome Alex!

    Currently I have no ideas on what else to put in your blog. Give me a while heh.

    CJ product notes that I'd been meaning to mention to you anyway: CJ Poo -- I love the smell. At first I was like, what the...? Then the next time I used it I decided I definitely liked it. It kinda smells like this body wash I have. Combo light floral and herb. I really don't like the runnyness. I thought it wouldn't bother me, but after continually not knowing the best way to put it on, it's starting to get on my nerves. Not enough to NOT buy the shampoo again, cause its def one of my faves, but I'm seriously thinking about putting a small amount in a foaming pump to see if that it will actually work this way. I am convinced if someone with straight, not dry hair tried this, they wouldnt' need any conditioner.

    CJ leave in -- earlier this year I couldn't use it. Made my hair soooo frizzy. that and [buylink=http://www.curlmart.com/Jessicurl-Aloeba-Daily-Conditioner-p-104.html?utm_source=naturallycurly.com&utm_medium=text-link&utm_content=curltalk-post-text&utm_campaign=jessicurl-aloeba-daily-conditioner]aloeba[/buylink]. The slip on it was so incredible though, I kept it around. Eventually I tried it again -- before the weather change -- and magically no more frizz. Now its my favorite leave in. Doesn't weigh my hair down, and I have been known to use it as a rinse out. Worked fine for me.

    Haven't tried the rehab. Yet.

    So excited to try the NEW products! yay.

    TOO FUNNY! I just now emptied out an old foamer (Sponge Bob kids soap) from my son to use for product. I might have to try this! It is very runny! That works great in Tahia's hair as her hair is so dense...but for my hair it just runs down my scalp (because there is no other place for it to go as my thin hair isn't stopping it either!!!)

    Re the blog: I'm usually kind of snarky and tend to one liners...but I haven't gotten into my groove yet with the blog. I will though :):):)

    And my daughter DID look at me like I was crazy. I was all pumped with my accomplishment and she tells me she's been blogging for school homework since 3rd grade. Way to burst a bubble! :laughing5::laughing5::laughing5:

    Well to make you feel better, I have to keep up a blog for one of my local community college classes. About half the kids in the class were uncomfortable using the computer to do homework assignments, and several didn't even own a computer. Quite a few of them didn't even know how to use Word. Seriously.

    I feel like the OG in that class. The Original Geek.

    Hey DW---it was a 10% off on Friday.

    However I know a way you can get pretty much the same discount...you can order from www.aveyou.com and you can find lots of discount codes on the web (try aveyounextjump) for them (usually 10-15% or so) and if you order $50 or more you get $1 shipping.

    It is equal to the CJ sale she had :)

    She's got a bunch new products out so you might want to hold off until alot of of get the new stuff which should happen this week I hope! Then you can see what of the new stuff you should try too!

    I've tried several other of the products but I don't have full sizes..I still have to post that up on the blog..blogging takes a LOT of time--I don't know how they do it all the time those kids! Plus I took all the pic's (these are all off my balcony today)...I just got tired after a while LOL!
