How to Survive Life in the Suburbs

Perhaps A Razor is A Girls Best Friend? #HydroSilkCanada

in Uncategorized on 02/15/12

Last night was Valentine’s Night, the most romantic night of the year.  I might be an old married girl, but this evening still requires some prep work.  Gotta do some things to keep the romance alive right?  My complaint for the day, why did Valentines have to fall on a Tuesday?  Um, didn’t anyone tell that little cupid guy that us Mama’s in the Suburbs are too busy for extra romance during the week! 

So on top of our regularly scheduled programing I had to find time to bake a cake for my little Valentines (tradition), run to Chapter’s and pick out some sweet books for my girls and Hubby, hit the chocolate store, the grocery store, and the treadmill.  (cause a Mama still has to look after herself)  My girls were home from school by 3:45, but the running around just BEGINS then.  One to dance, the other to Gymnastics.  Everyone back home by 9pm.  Somewhere in there I managed to get them to do homework, piano oh yes, and I fed them too.  Tired now.

As 9:30pm rolled around I realized there was one crucial element I needed to squeeze in…..a shower for me!  Crap.  Funky Mama with hairy legs, not attractive.  So I dragged my butt upstairs to try and get my sexy back.

Here comes the TMI moment.  My friends, I’m thrilled to report I managed to “shave”  15 whole minutes off my day because while in that hot shower trying to revive myself, I did not have to shave my legs!  Three days ago I received this little beauty in the mail:

HydroSilkRazor

This new Schick Hydro Silk Women’s Razor.  When it arrived, I took it out of the package (easily I might add, no struggle with excess packaging) and took it for a test drive.  The Schick Hydro Silk is my new favourite razor!!  It has a water activated moisturising system that allows for a super close to the skin shave keeping those legs smooth and sexy for so much longer!  (I also read on the Shick.com FAQ page that this moisturizing serum is hypoallergenic, perfect for my sensitive skin)

HydroSilkRazor2

I was a girl who shaved her legs each and every day. I am all kinds of vain like that.  With the new Shick Hydro Silk Razor it appears I’m getting a closer shave and don’t have to do this!  The curved sensing blades made for a safe and easy glide over knees and around ankles, leaving no nicks or scratches and a clean, close shave.  Love.  Did I mention it’s pretty?  Pretty is also important…so my Hubby will keep his hands off!

You can learn a lot more about this great new product, and have a chance to win some fabulous prizes, as we chat it up  tonight, Wednesday Feb 15 at 8:30pm ET at the  #HydroSilkCanada twitter party!   Please RSVP here and tell me you can join us!!

      This sounds awesome! I might have to pick one up as I feel I am constantly shaving my legs. But seriously, one blast of cold air and the hair on my legs reappears. What is that?!

      You’re good. I hardly shave during the winter months because I can’t be bothered with the hassle! This razor changes things, though.

      I may just have to try this because I shave each and every day and I would love love love to not have to.

      Each and every day? Wowsers. You are a MUCH better wife than I am. I’m just glad my hubs doesn’t care! 🙂 Otherwise, we’d be in for some serious disagreements.

      i would dare to say a razor might be a mans best friend in this case as well…smiles.

Leaving the house behind and headed to Ontario cottage country. 🌲☀️
