Pantene Miracle Rescue Collection

This post is sponsored by Pantene. All thoughts and opinions are my own!

Let’s talk hair!

Keeping up with my hair has been a constant struggle until now! I am always putting my hair up, using heat on it, and braiding it in crazy ways which I noticed was causing my hair to become damaged. See photo below for an accurate photo of my damaged hair in a braid.

Currently, I have been using the new @Pantene Pro-V Miracle Rescue Collection to repair my damaged hair! That way my hair is always #ReadyForMore of me living life. The Miracle Rescue Collection truly works as well as a $60 treatment thanks to products like the Deep Conditioning Treatment and Intense Rescue Shot!

Below are actual photos of my hair before, during and after using the Pantene Miracle Rescue treatments. For reference the last photos were taken outside which is why it looks lighter. Aren’t the results incredible?

Now let’s talk about the products in detail. The Pantene Miracle Rescue Collection include: the Miracle Rescue Deep Conditioning Treatment, the Miracle Rescue Moisture Mix-In, the Miracle Rescue Multitasking 10in1 Spray and the Miracle Rescue Intense Rescue Shots. I have not used the 10-in-1 spray, so I will not be talking about it, but I have heard it’s amazing.

To begin, I use the Pantene PRO-V Daily Moisture Renewal Shampoo which is not part of the Miracle Rescue Collection, but still a super awesome product that complements the others!

The Miracle Rescue Deep Conditioning Treatment

It is an amazing weightless conditioner that provides intense moisture to your hair while prepping hair for a faster dry time! The formula has pro-vitamin B5, strengthening lipids, and protective antioxidants which provide amazing moisture to hair. I use this one every time I wash my hair to keep it hydrated.

Miracle Rescue Moisture Mix-In

This amazing mix-in adds an extra boost of hydration to hair. Just add this formula into the Pantene conditioner you use regularly. It will help rebuild and restore most dry, damaged hair.

Miracle Rescue Intense Rescue Shots

The most concentrated Pantene Pro-V formula that has an intense nourishing power. These shots help repair signs of hair damage turning hair visibly healthier, shinier, and stronger!

All of these amazing products from the Pantene Pro-V Miracle Rescue Collection have really helped repair my damaged hair! See below for photos of how my hair looks in braids after using these products for a month.

Period-proof Swimsuit!

About a month ago I was gifted a Ruby Love swimsuit and all I can say is that it’s truly amazing! Ruby Love is an amazing company that is known for having period-proof items from underwear to pajamas. I have only tried their swimsuits which is what I will be focusing on.

Each swimsuit had a discreet built in absorbent organic cotton liner. Can be worn with or without a tampon or menstrual cup. These swimsuits are truly amazing because you don’t have to worry about stains, leaks or odors. AND they have the cutest designs! I love my one shoulder ruffle one piece.

Each item is sustainable and made in the USA! For reference I am wearing an XS/S. I have found whenever I go on a vacation I always happen to be on my period which is why this swimsuit has been a life savor. I feel so comfortable and confident wearing this one piece!

Have you ever tried a period-proof swimsuit? You can grab a pair with my code AshSwim10 for 10% off your entire order!

NBC Good Girls

Today I’m partnering with InfluenceHer Collective and NBC to talk to you about one of my favorite shows Good Girls! Season 3 returns to NBC February 16th so you can now watch it!

Spoiler alert!

This show is about three women–Beth and Annie (who are sisters), and their best friend Ruby. The three of these women get fed up with playing by the rules and not being able to afford what they need. Beth’s a stay at home mom with a cheating husband who finds herself in financial ruin. Ruby is happily married to a police officer but can’t afford to pay her daughter’s medical bills. Annie is a single mom who is in a custody battle with her ex and can’t afford it due to working a minimum wage job. They decide to take control of their lives and hold up a local grocery store where they steal a bunch of money. After this they find themselves very deep in the crime world where they keep trying to escape.

Season two ended on a huge cliff hanger, so I am super excited to watch season 3! It should be a really awesome season after everything that has happened! So make sure to watch season 3 now on NBC! If you have not seen season 1 or 2 you can find it on Netflix.

Here is an awesome video in which Kelz joins die-hard Good Girls fans Leli Hernandez, Brittany Hampton, and brandi King as they dig into the crimes on the girls’ records.

Let me know if you’re already a Good Girls fan or if you’re about to go watch it!

Airbnb Dream Home – The Funky Loft

Who’s stayed at an Airbnb before? Chances are most of you have. I have stayed at various before, but I never thought much of any of them. That is until I stayed at The Funky Loft which is located in Brooklyn, New York. It is honestly the cutest, dreamiest, most bohemian place I have ever seen! Not to mention there is a swing! I mean can it get any better? Also, the women who live there are seriously the sweetest and provide complementary breakfast. They had Lucky Charms which is hands down my favorite cereal. There is music bumping most of the afternoon which consisted of mostly oldies which is my favorite!

This amazing Airbnb is located in Brooklyn and is super close to a subway (About 5-10 minute walk). I stayed here with my friend @michellemakingmoves. We got a 7 day subway card and went to DUMBO, and walked across the Brooklyn Bridge. We also went to Times Square, and the Flatiron building by taking the subway. This is a great place to stay at when visiting New York because of how cute, convenient, and cost friendly it is. Make your Instagram New York dreams comes true by staying at The Funky Loft next time you’re in New York! @thefunkyloft

Galentine’s Day Party

Today’s blog post is sponsored by Vanilla Gift Cards.

Are you looking to throw the perfect Galentine’s Day party? I just threw one and it was a huge success!

I started off with decorations which I picked up at my local dollar tree. I was able to get a blow-up LOVE balloon with a bunch of heart balloons. I also picked wine glasses, Valentine’s Day cards, and a bunch of candy.

I then went to Target where I picked up a heart shaped waffle maker and heart shaped plates. I picked up a bunch of cookies, and macaroons there as well.

I got my charcuterie board and laid out a bunch of candy, cookies, and macaroons. The girls absolutely loved it! (And so did my husband lol).

GIFTS! The perfect gift for any party is definitely gift cards. That’s why this this Galentine’s Day party I used Vanilla Gift Cards. They come in a variety of beautiful styles to pick from as shown. These gift cards are honestly the best because they are super cute and allow each guest to spend it how they like it. As we all know women are super picky with what they want, so these would be a huge hit! You can use code Ashley for no purchase fees!

I hope this blog post gave you some inspiration for what to do at your Galentine’s Party. Remember to get the perfect gift by getting Vanilla Gift Cards. Let me know in the comments below how you are celebrating Galentine’s Day.

Heritage Store’s Rosewater Products!

Hello! This post is sponsored by BabbleBoxx.com on behalf of Heritage Store! Today I am talking about Heritage store’s rosewater products. Heritage store sells timeless effective self-care products.

A little background about the company–Heritage store was established in 1969 in which the store draws from the natural wisdom of Mother Nature, and the heritage of world healing traditions to create effective self-care products. Heritage Store believes that beauty is self-confidence that emanates from the connection of mind, body and spirit.

Let’s get into my three favorite rosewater products. I received the Rosewater & Glycerin Spray, the Rosewater Ritual and Rosewater Facial Toner.

Rosewater & Glycerin Spray

This is an amazing product that can be used various different ways such as a face and body lotion. It can also be used to add shine and vitality to hair. Use as a setting spray after applying makeup, or use after the gym for a cool down. I personally love using it as body lotion because it hydrates my skin really well!

Rosewater

The next product is called Rosewater and is my favorite of them all. It is all-natural, cruelty free and only contains rose hydroessential Oil and water. This spray can be used as a perfume, body splash, and setting spray. You can also add it to your hair rinse or body bath! I personally love to use it as a perfume because it gives off such a natural and fresh smell that is perfect to use all day long.

Rosewater Facial Toner

Lastly is the amazing rosewater facial toner. It is an oil-free hydrating formula that gently removes debris and residue to help keep a natural and healthy glow. It helps combat dryness, and diminishes overall appearance of fine lines and cleansing pores. I use this every night after I wash my face by putting it onto a cotton ball and applying it all over my face. It’s become a staple part of my daily nighttime skin care routine.

All of these Heritage products can be purchased online, as well as in store at Whole Foods, Sprouts, Lucky’s, Fresh Thyme, Natural Grocers, local co-ops, Target, Ulta, and Urban Outfitters! Be sure to check them out when you get a chance! If you buy any of the products be sure to let me know what you think about it!
