Dove Intensive Repair Haircare Review
All of
my life I’ve been obsessed with Dove products. I’ve used Dove body bars and
body wash as long as I can remember (a 12pack of Dove body bars is usually in
my cart every other Costco trip I make). Multiple dermatologists have told me
that Dove’s Deep Moisturizer body wash is best to use for my eczema, so I use
it pretty religiously.
Over the
years Dove has really expanded their product offerings. I recently tried out
Dove’s Intensive Repair hair care line and really liked it! Its creamy texture
is just like the Body Wash. It also has a
really clean scent just like the body wash.
Dove
Intensive Repair Shampoo and Conditioner system contains Keratin Repair
Activates, and according to Dove.com, it “repairs proteins at the cellular
level.” I know, super scientific, so let’s break down the other benefits…according
to Dove.com, this line:
- Strengthens hair and prevents split ends
- Leaves hair silky to the touch and easy to manage and style
- Contains gentle everyday moisture and doesn’t weigh hair down
After using
Intensive Repair Shampoo and Conditioner my hair not only felt clean, but it
was super soft and manageable. Normally I struggle getting a comb through my
towel dried hair, but after using this conditioner and towel drying, the comb
just glided through my hair.
Since I highlight
my hair I like to use hair products that are geared for reviving tired and dry
hair. Dove's Intensive Repair line is focused on fighting breakage and split ends, basically the most intense damage you can imagine. I definitely feel my hair is in good hands with this line.

Dove
understands that having beautiful, healthy-looking hair gives you the
confidence to feel your best. Whether your hair is dry or damaged, Dove has a
tailor-made solution for your hair care needs.
After just one wash hair is shiny, healthy-looking and full of life.
Thanks to Dove, you can look and feel beautiful from the inside out.

Outdoor Workouts
A physician's assistant (and friend) once told me that the shape you're in when you're in your 30s has a direct correlation to what you'll be like 'fitness-wise' when you're in your 50s and beyond. I don't know if this a scientific fact, but it makes sense, and is why I prioritize fitness so much in my life. Not only does working out make me feel good, but I want to be able to set good examples for my children some day by living a healthy, active lifestyle.
I travel a lot with my current job as a sales account manager, and sometimes its hard to find time to fit in a workout. Even worse, sometimes we stay in hotels that don't have gyms or if they do, it's one treadmill. So, I usually have to get scrappy when it comes to fitting work out in, because I believe in NO EXCUSES! I always pack my shoes (adidas Springblades) and a sports bra (adidas Techfit is my new fav), and now that it's getting colder out in the midwest, my new adidas Ultimate long tights and adidas Ultimate short sleeve top.
30 second sprint/30 second walk x 30 rounds (30 minutes)
50 body weight squats (in a park)
50 knee ups on park bench
Stop in a park (or back in hotel room) and jump rope (20 seconds jump/10 second rest x 8)
Not only am I getting a massive amount of cardio in the morning, revving up my metabolism for the rest of the day, but I'm getting to see a new city first hand!
I also do workouts like these at home. If I know I have late work night coming up, I'll usually wake up early and workout. Here's another example of an outdoor workout I'll do at home and around my city:
30 second sprint/30 second walk x 30 rounds (30 minutes)
Break in between sprinting and do 20 alternating lunges (every 10 rounds)
Run down and up hill in my backyard x 3
Jump rope on back patio (25 seconds on, 10 seconds rest x 8)
Now I want to know, what are your favorite outdoor activities? What do you do to make working out fun?
adidas Women designs innovative performance
products to help women commit to their best self and conquer their fitness
goals. We inspire women to look and
feel their best - be pretty, be tough & be confident.

Phillip Lim for Target
It sort of feels like Christmas Eve...so excited for tomorrow that I probably won't be able to sleep! Phillip Lim for Target launches and I can't wait. I have my eye on a few bags, the black/leather dress and the leopard blazer.Check out the collection here.
Few tips:
- The collection MAY be available at midnight online. Can't hurt to set your alarm and check!
- I called the Target in my city and they said they weren't carrying the line, but a neighboring city was. Good thing I checked, that would have made me so mad first thing in the morning!
- If shopping online, make sure you know your Target.com username and password (or create an account now) so you can checkout quickly.
- If you're in store and can't find your size, check the fitting rooms for discarded items. People will be grabbing multiple sizes to try on and discarding what doesn't fit, which may be your size!
