The winner came from the Facebook group Bedford Stuyvesant Brooklyn where she was the first to respond. She also posted a comment on the Mother's Day Giveaway blog.

Ashley is a mother to her three year old son. As a way of giving back to the community, she works with homeless youth motivated by the fact that she used to be one. Inspiring, right? Ontop of that she happened to have starter locs and is part of the Bedstuy Community in Brooklyn, NY.

It was before 9 am on a lovely Sunday when Ashley started to get the full luxury hair experience at Sabine's Hallway Natural Hair Salon. Entrepreneur, Salon owner and a hairstylist of 20 years, Sabine Bellevue herself washed and styled Ashley.

Ashley and Sabine instantly bounded. The winner of the Mother's Day Giveaway got all her questions answered about her starter locs. The connection went beyond hair when they started to talk about homeless youth, the issues they face and the opportunity programs offered. 

Within three hours Hairstylist and certified Sister-Locktitian Sabine washed and styled Ashley's beautiful starter locs. She created a beautiful updo that she also embellished with golden cowrie shells. 

Sabine is not just an amazing stylist. More than anything, her goal is to serve clients the best way to have healthy hair.  

Makeup time!

Sabine was almost done when Makeup Artist Eloria walked in ready to pamper this year's Mother's Day Giveaway winner with a makeup makeover.

Eloria is a professional who worked with the best of the best and you could instantly notice that. Within an hour Ashly's skin looked flawless while her eyes and lips popped. Just a little powder here and there and miss Ashly was photo shoot ready!

The Look, Hair Makeup and earrings

To compliment the golden cowrie shells in Ashly's beautiful updo, I added a pair of Fulani Earrings from What Naturals Love dot com in the mix. They so perfectly complimented the textured twisted loc updo created by Sabine. Then, after nearly four hours of bounding and pampering miss Ashly was literally ready to get her dress on!

Ashly's favorite dresses

Now all the mother of one had to do was to choose her favorite dress. Ashley is a natural. All dresses fitted her just gorgeously so it was very, very hard to make a choice. 

These are only four of the dresses she tried on to give you an idea. Please let us know which one is your favorite.

It was a great meeting Ashley. I felt truly inspired by her life story. Being apart of this Mother’s Day giveaway is one of the reasons why I continue to do what I do. I love connecting with amazing people like Ashley. Although, this was supposed to be us pouring into Ashley gave us something special. Hope….that life can be challenging but there is always light at the end of the tunnel if you look for it.
Thank you Ashley!
