Be One of the First to Try the New Schick Intuition Pure Nourishment Razor-Giveaway

As much of a bother as it can be sometimes, I love having smooth, soft legs. Even in the winter when many women relax their regular shaving routine, I make sure that my legs are as smooth as possible. Of course, that can get hard when cold winter weather leaves skin dry and tight. So when I was given the chance to be one of the very first women in Canada to try the Schick Intuition Pure Nourishment razor, I was pretty excited.

The Schick Intuition razor features a solid shaving bar surrounding a pivoting razor with four blades. The bar eliminates the need for shaving gel to make the shaving process quick and easy. And the new Pure Nourishment razor takes smooth skin to a new level with the hydrating power of coconut milk and almond oil!

The Venus Embrace Razor-Not Just for First-Time Shavers

When I was a young adult, Gillette introduced the very first Venus razor. It had three blades and an oval head that glided over the skin, making it much easier to use than the disposable razors that my mom favoured. I knew I had to have it and even back then, I felt the Venus difference.

The Venus Embrace razor is designed with a first-time shaver in mind. Its curved oval head helps minimize nicks and cuts while the silicone grip handle helps to ensure that the razor glides easily over the skin without slipping out of the hand. It’s essentially a “starter” razor so I was curious to see how it would work for me.

One of my very best tips for achieving silky smooth legs is to always use a body scrub before shaving. It sloughs off dead skin cells so that the razor will cut the hair as close to the skin as possible, resulting in legs that feel smoother and stay that way longer. I used my favourite lemon body scrub on my legs, rinsed it off well, smoothed on my Satin Care shave gel and grabbed the razor. [Read more...]

Keep Your Lips Soft this Summer with Carmex

For our family, the best part of summer is the chance to enjoy all kinds of fun outdoor activities. From bike rides around town to trips to the beach to camping trips, my boys and I take any chance we get to head outside and get active. But all that sun, wind and fresh outdoor air does have its downside. All that exposure to the elements often leaves my lips chapped and dry.

So when Carmex sent me an adorable beach bag full of an assortment of Carmex products, I was so excited. Like many women, I love the moisturizing power of that original Carmex Classic Jar, so I couldn’t wait to try some of the other varieties of Carmex lip balm as well.
