Stockpiling, New Gel to Try, and My Ever Patient Boyfriend


Today I had a bunch of errands to run for the mother unit. Among the stores I needed to stop at was Kroger, which has recently expanded their CG friendly stuff (yay!). I was looking for a gel when a red sticker caught my eye. Much to my dismay, I saw a sticker under my beloved L'oreal Vive Pro Nutri Gloss for Medium to Long Hair that's Wavy/Curly that said "Close-out On This Item Only!" and it was marked down to about half-off ($2.49/bottle). I wanted to cry, but I decided to get 4 of the 7 bottles that were there. This way, if the "close-out" means that L'oreal is trying to empty their shelves so that they can reformulate it with 'cones, I'll be prepared for a couple of years (I have 3 bottles stockpiled at school as well, so I now have 7 bottles and I don't go through it that quickly) while I look for a replacement.

In other news, I was looking at reputed CG gels (the herbal essences gels, some of the aussie gels) when my eyes wandered to a blue bottle. I knew L.A. Looks Sport Gel was CG, but I didn't know that it had such a big bottle and I didn't know it was under $3 for said big bottle. Honestly, I think I could get a good year out of it. So here's hoping it works. I'll give it a try when I get back to school.

And finally, I'd like to thank my wonderful patient boyfriend, who has been sitting with his arm around me while I've been typing this short little entry, waiting to take me out for mexican food (yum!). Actually, we've really been waiting to see if the stuff that's in the dryer will be done before 5:30, but that's another story. Anyhoo, thank you darling for being patient with me and my curly hair obsession! Love you! :)
