Schick Quattro for Women
Tuesday, June 17th, 2008
Summertime means showing off your legs and that means you can’t get away with going a couple days without shaving like you can in the winter because you wear pants all the time. It is important to find yourself a good razor that can take you throughout the summer and keep your legs smooth and stubble-free. A few years ago for reasons I can’t quite remember, I stopped using a regular razor with the refillable cartridges and started using just disposable razors. They get the job done but sometimes not without creating some nicks or scratches and rough legs at times.
We were recently sent the Schick Quattro for Women to try out. I thought that it was time for a change and that my legs could probably benefit from something a little more refined. It first enticed my by the color of the razor - pink and grey - which is a winning color combination in my book! As I took it out of the case the first thing I noticed was the thickness of the handle which is key for maintaining a good grip while shaving and not having the razor slide out from under your fingertips. The second thing I noticed was the handy shower hanger with a suction cup that it comes with so you can hang it right from the shower wall for easy access. I must say that the actual shaving process has not felt so smooth in awhile. I think it was due in a large part to the fact that this razor has 4 blades to get a good and even shave and it also has 2 conditioning strips that have Aloe and Vitamin E and B5 on them so as you are shaving your legs you are getting instant moisture and nutrients to keep them looking soft and healthy. The razor also has a pivoting head so you don’t have to struggle with getting the back of your legs or the contours around your ankle which is always a tricky spot for me.
Overall, I would definitely highly recommend this razor if you are looking for a new one to try this summer. My legs are feeling really smooth and I have not had any nicks or cuts. Because after all, no one wants to wear a band-aid as an accessory this summer!

Aveeno Sunblock
Monday, June 16th, 2008
One thing that you should not leave without this summer is sunscreen. It not only protects your skin from the harmful effects of the UV rays but it also helps to make sure your skin doesn’t look leathery and wrinkled. I like the Aveeno Sunblock. It is light, oil-free and non-greasy so it doesn’t feel heavy on your skin and won’t clog your pores from applying. The spray sunblock makes it even easier to apply and to make sure you don’t miss any spots. It’s a one-touch spray bottle so you can get the sunblock on every angle of your skin. It’s waterproof too so you will still be protected if you are in the water. Keep a bottle in your beach bag and you will be ready to lay out.
