Because I know you newly natural ladies are on the lookout for some bold pieces of jewelry that don’t break the bank, I’m going to share with you a site I found through LHCF.
The site is called Two Dollar Jewelry…if you have two dollars, you have enough for a pair of earrings, a necklace, a ring, or a bracelet. Shipping is $1.60 for the first item and then $0.55 cents for each additional item. Then, if you spend over 50 bucks, shipping is free.
Now, this jewelry is two bucks and not something you’re probably going to be passing down to grandkids or anything, but for the here and now, it’s a great deal. Especially for those of you who like to have a different pair of earrings for each outfit (you know who you are!). I’ve had all of mine for a few months now and only one thing broke on me.Hence my reasoning for not recommending any of the stud earrings. I fell asleep in a pair and I woke up with them laying on my pillow. The dangly earrings seem to be a better pick.
I have ordered two necklaces which seem to be pretty sturdy thus far. I also ordered two bracelets from this site, but have yet to wear them. They also have some non-two dollar items such as scarves and hats that are pretty cheap inexpensive. I’ve not ordered any of them so I can’t vouch for them.
The delivery was pretty quick, I believe it shipped the same day, and I had to sign for everything to receive my package, so I think you need to have a physical address.
If you’re afraid of your skin turning green, try and get the wooden jewelry which they seem to have plenty of. I got wooden necklaces and bracelets just for that reason.
Just a heads up on possible good deals when you PJs are on the prowl online.
There’s a neat website called Pebble.com that allows you to search for products and find a good deal searching several different online stores.
It also has a question and answer portion for each product where you can get feedback before you buy it. I was just playing around with it since I can’t buy anything (2 more months on the No Buy Challenge!) and I found Jane Carter Nourish and Shine (normally 22.00, not including shipping) for 18.99 using this website. Some products will have several listings under them comparing the prices. Another example: I did a search for the book Going Natural it brought up seven results of varying prices.
It will compare prices from Amazon, The Vitamin Shoppe, Borders, Buy.com and many others e-retailers.
Though I can’t purchase anything hair related right now, I did however find a great deal on a new sports bra that I’ve been wanting to try for awhile. I saved 18 bucks on it! Go me!!
I hope this post helps someone find a good deal, even if it’s not on hair products, I’m all about pinching pennies lately!
Hello, I’m a PJ.
I have a lot of products and they can get out of control.
Hello, did I also mention that I’m a clutterbug?
I tend to have a lot clutter unless I am actively trying not to. Which is most of the time.
So when I started seeing that my newly acquired products were starting to get out of control, I knew I had to do something. Enter my “Master Plan”:
Yes, indeedy, that is a shoe tree. And it fits me just fine for holding the majority of my hair products, along with some of my skin care products. I first saw this in my Mother In Law’s bathroom and thought it a novel idea.These are not all of my products, the ones I rarely use are tucked away in a small storage container under my sink.
Good points:
Cheap to purchase. These are available at the dollar store in some areas, though the ones from Walmart tend to be tougher.
The plastics pockets make it easy to clean with a damp cloth when needed. You can also label each pocket if you really want to organize things. There is also the added bonus of being able to clearly see your supply.
Easy access. No containers to go and open, no shelves to reach up into.
Much neater than products scattered over the counter or tossed under the sink.
Not so good points:
Easy access…for kids. If you have little ones in your house, there is nothing to stop them from indulging in a nice mouthful of KCCC.
Door banging may ensue if your tree gets too full.
Visitors to your bathroom can easily peruse your stash and steal your goodies!!
For this particular activity, you prolly want plastic!
I no longer purchase plastic caps because I have substitutes readily available to me every time I go to the grocery store: a plastic bag.
Modeling a bag for ya'll!
The handles are in the front. I tie a loose knot with the handles, push all of the air out of the bag, and then tuck the knot in the front above my forehead. I sometimes wrap a towel around it.
So the next time you need to DC, just go dig around in that drawer or cabinet where you keep extra grocery bags and plop it on your head! I know plastic caps are cheap, but in today’s economy every cent counts. Also, it’s better for the environment to find an additional use for all of those plastic bags.
If you’ve got a big surplus, remember that a lot of grocery stores offer recycling for plastic bags right there i the store! Happy deep conditioning ladies!
