Product Review!

Posted by Ashley

Hi everyone! I hope you're having a great week so far. Sorry I have been MIA lately... life has been super busy. I want to follow up on a product I recently introduced on the blog. I finally got a chance to try the Garnier Fructis Blow Dry Perfector. I found it at my local Target and it cost about $10-$11. It is definitely an easy process and only has two steps, which is great! Overall, I thought the product worked wonderfully and I would definitely recommend it! The only downside is that the first step (Smooth-It Serum) has a really pungent smell... almost like sulfur. I was expecting it to smell similar to hair color treatments, but it was very different. Luckily, the second step (Heat-Activated Perfect-It Cream) smells great. Out of five stars, I would give this product four and a half.

Once I completed the steps and used the blow dryer, my hair was straighter than it has ever been, even before using the flat iron. Normally, when I blow-dry my hair, it is a frizz ball. Then I end up frying my hair because I have to use my flat iron for a long time (in case you are curious, I use and love the professional tools from CHI - they're expensive, but totally worth it!). This is what it looked like right after blow drying:



And this is after using the flat iron:



As you can see, I didn't even really need to use the flat iron. This product really follows through on its promise! For girls with curly/frizzy hair... give this product a try!!

Straight Hair?!?

Posted by Ashley

Hi peeps!

Happy Thursday to you... the weekend is almost here! I wanted to share something I saw on TV the other day. For those girls who struggle with curly/frizzy hair... what is the solution? I'm one of those girls!! This is my hair in its natural state:

I have to straighten my hair a lot to get it smooth, and even then, it isn't sleek. I saw this commercial the other day and I think it's going to be my next product review for the blog. I haven't had a chance to buy it, but I thought I would share the website with you all. It seems like it's a pretty potent straightening product. It claims to last through 7 shampoos!! I'm hoping to have the official review soon! Check out the new Garnier product for yourself here.

A Little Bit of Pampering!

Posted by Ashley

Hi blog friends!
I hope you are having a wonderful week! I don't know about you guys, but it seems like life is just whizzing by lately... there's so much to do and so little time! With all the craziness of life going on, I wanted to set aside some time just for me. I'm not much for expensive pampering, so I typically try to find inexpensive ways to pamper myself every once in a while. I have to share this new product I recently found at Walmart. As I've mentioned before, I'm a self-proclaimed product junkie and I love to try new things out. As I was purchasing some usual products, like shampoo and hairspray, I stumbled upon this new line of organic beauty products. As soon as I saw them, I had to take a sniff to see if they smelled as good as the packaging looked.



I'm sure some of you have tried organic beauty products only to find that they smell... well... organic. I was pleasantly surprised! The packaging doesn't lie... all the products have a "delicious fragrance." Since I haven't done a facial mask since college, I thought I would give it a try. Nate had a meeting with a fellow ministry team leader last night, so I thought I would have a "girl night" and give myself a facial. I have to say that the facial worked amazingly well! I left it on my face to dry for about 15 minutes and once I washed it off, my face felt super refreshed and clean. I would highly recommend this product... and since it's only $6.00 at Walmart, what could be better? I even thought I'd include a photo of me getting the facial :) Not very glamorous... but super fun! Have a wonderful day!
