Helpful Hints for Shaving

When it comes right down to is, there are some things in life that we just have to do. Whether we enjoy those things or not is irrelevant-they still need to be done. Shaving is one of those things. There are very few men out there who do not need to shave and those men should count themselves lucky.
My husband just happens to be one of those guys who really hates to shave. He will only shave two to three times a week (or if I bug him about it sooner). I think part of the issue is that he has sensitive skin and nicks himself easily. If you have a guy in your life who hates to shave, I have a few hints to share with you today that could make his task much easier. 

1. Use an electric razor. I think that electric razors are probalby the most effective and efficient. Most, if not all of them are very gentle on the skin and are designed to make shaving comfortable. The only down side to these razors would be the expense of replacing the blades when they get dull. My husband had an electric razor but when the blades went bad, we didn't replace them due to the cost. 

2. Use good-quality shaving cream. They make some really great types of shaving creams and gels today and you can find one that fits your skin type exactly. I know that as a woman, I love to use shaving creams that are designed for sensitive skin. I seem to have very sensitive skin and so having this type of cream helps me alot. 

3. Make sure you are using good pre shave techniques. Wetting the skin prior to shaving helps to soften the hair and make it more flexible for the shave. My husband does this and it helps his shave to go much smoother. 
So, those are just a few (of many) tips that I have to share when it comes to shaving. It definitely is not a totally enjoyable part of life, but it can be made better when you have the right products and techniques.

The Pickle Juice Company Review

How many of you are super athletic and active during the summer months? I used to be...prior to having children and now, it seems I chase them all around so that counts as something, right? One concern that many athletes and active people have during the summer is hydration and the risk of dehydration, especially if you live in a hot/tropical climate. We life in NY state so we have four full seasons, our summers can be hot and humid and if you are active, that can be challenging. The other issue that many run into is having a sports drink that can replenish and refresh their system that is gluten free and healthy for them too. Food allergies can limit the choices when it comes to hydration drinks. So, today I am going to introduce you to The Pickle Juice Company . This company specializes in gluten-free sports drinks that will stop muscle cramps in their tracks and keep you hydrated and refreshed no matter what activities you are participating in this summer!

Carmex Healing Lotion & Healing Cream Review

Because I am a member of the Carmex Blog Squad , I am informed of and privileged to bring you reviews of Carmex's newest products! This is something that I have been doing for awhile and have really grown to love the Carmex brand. The newest products that have been introduced by Carmex are lovely and will definitely impress you as they have me. Because I am a mom, I wash my hands frequently. After diaper changes, before cleaning wounds, bathroom breaks, preparing food...all this requires clean hands. Because I usually apply lotion while I am moving and going from one thing to the next, I do not like a greasy lotion. I HATE applying a cream and having to "dry" my hands for the next half hour. What a perfectly good waste of time that is. So, I was wondering what Carmex would offer me in way of fast and quickly absorbing lotion. Before I continue, here is a bit more about Carmex for those of you who are new to their brand... Carmex® lip balm was invented in 1...

Cafe Press Review

Are any of you married to a computer guy ? Do you lovingly call him a "geek" sometimes? (my hand is raised here...LOL!) My husband is the most wonderful man in the world. He is funny, sincere, loving and VERY handy with the computer. I have issues sometimes with coding and am often heard calling "Honey? Can you come look at my blog? I don't know how to fix this!!!!" And, my charming prince comes to rescue me. My darling is going to be 31 in a week and I am SO excited to be able to celebrate another birthday with him. He also shares a birthday with our daughter which makes the day twice as fun. :) She has been talking about her birthday for WEEKS and cannot wait! This next review item is for him so if you know him (and I am hoping he doesn't read my blog for the next week :/) don't tell him about this!!!!!!!! If you are looking for perfect, unique and personalized gifts for someone special in your life I will tell you that after this post, you...
