Ash Said It® Show

In a world flooded with distresses like divorce, father absence, rampant sexual abuse, anxiety, and depression, there seems to be an epidemic of escapism through drugs, alcohol, consumerism, sex, violence, and suicide. Now, Nearly two years after the start of COVID-19 social-distancing protocols and lockdowns, the pandemic is something that exacerbated these problems. The pandemic changed our world and had an impact on everything, especially our relationships with family and friends.

Dr. Rick D. Merritt’s newly released “The Bridge Between Us: Becoming One in Marriage” is a fresh and engaging examination of the marital bond and is being released at a time when people need to be reminded of how to love and be loved.

Merritt’s new book draws from the author’s years of marriage counseling experiences. With thoughtful reflection and an encouraging tone, Dr. Merritt is hopeful that  readers will find inspiration and guidance useful to maintaining not only a happy marriage, but maintaining the relationships that matter most to us.

All these women could not be ALL BAD! I refuse to believe that. What did he do to these women to make them turn on him? #ashsaidit

Kourtney Kardashian has finally found a love worth sticking with. People have criticized her for not marrying the father of her 3 kids, Scott Disick. However, she knew that he could NOT provide her with the love and affection that she truly desired. She wasn’t willing to be his backup. The disrespect that he has displayed throughout the years proved unworthy of Kourtney. He was always messing up, stepping out and dealing with substance abuse. That is a lot. And no woman should EVER settle. She has a glow about her now that she is with Travis Barker and I am here for it! Congratulations Kourtney! #ashsaidit

Consider a personalized, handmade, locally purchased gift for dad! Have you heard of Etsy? Shop My Porch is better! First of all, for sellers, it’s less expensive to sell your handmade goods on Shop My Porch; and second of all, it’s all handmade local goods listed in your neighborhood!

Plus, if you are searching for something specific, you can literally request it and a “maker” in your neighborhood will see it and potentially message you saying they can create that gift for you!

Web: www.shopmyporch.com

Shop My Porch started during the pandemic when everyone was prohibited from shopping in stores and shipping delays were a detriment to businesses globally.

Many businesses failed due to shipping delays. Shop My Porch made it so that nearly anything you need to gift someone was at your fingertips and you could drive locally to pick it up! Shop My Porch is now a nationwide platform!

Omg! This show was a big part of my weekends growing up. We didn’t have streaming services with thousands of options. This was the weirdest random but funny program that kept my interest. I was so excited to binge it on Prime Video! #ashsaidit

Moxie Blankets are weighted blankets that your dad will LOVE to sleep underneath! Both adults and kids love these weighted blankets because they also have different weights! They’re even machine washable and made in the U.S.!

Weighted blankets provide deep touch pressure relief that helps with so many struggles, from helping relieve stress, insomnia and anxiety to Restless Leg Syndrome and keeping those nightmares away for the kiddos!

Moxie is the best weighted blanket available because they are the softest, plus the weight is evenly distributed in each sewn square and they are easy to clean! You will never want to leave the house without! Plus, their kid’s edition is specially targeted to fight off “monsters” in the night and aid in nightmare prevention and recovery!

The MPA (Monster Protection Academy) weighted blanket is a solution for children who are afraid of the dark, suffer from night terrors, or nightmares, or Monsters under the bed!

Each MPA weighted blanket order comes with a certified weighted MPA Blanket, No More Monsters book and a Monster Protection Academy Certificate. We put our MPA blankets to the test to ensure that they are ready to protect against the strongest, sneakiest and smartest of monsters!

More Info: After many sleepless nights and countless nightmares The Monster Protection Academy was born!

As a mom of a child who had nightmares close to every night I knew I had to come up with a solution that offered more than a gimmick or trick of the imagination. I asked other parents what they were doing to ease the nightmare chaos but no one had a solid solution so, the research journey began.
​
I quickly stumbled upon weighted blankets and got to work creating the perfect prototype. It didn't take long before Makai started writing a book to accompany the blanket and Kaija Lily came up with the certification process and certificate.
​
We've conducted surveys, think tanks and brainstorm sessions to create a great experience for every child who receives a Monster Protection Academy package.
​
As for the Moxie and Luxie Lines those were created for a number of reasons. We have personally seen the success of weighted blankets with Restless Leg Syndrome, stress, anxiety, insomnia and helping ease the trials of being bipolar by having our friends and family use our blankets.
​
I believe in weighted blankets so much that I started Moxie Blankets. Our goal is simple... help as many people get relief as we can.

With $50 in his pocket, a dream in his heart and his secret sauce recipe locked tightly in his head, Nick opened his first restaurant in Hapeville, Georgia, with the goal of delivering the best gyros and Greek food reminiscent of what he grew up enjoying as a young man in Kalamata, Greece. Focusing on family traditions and food, the authentic Greek eatery features classic flavors and modern Mediterranean delights with staples including handcrafted wraps with their homemade Nick's Grecian sauce, potatoes, vegetarian entrees and baklava for dessert.
