My Sensitive Skin: Gillette Review

January 22, 2014 Leave a Comment

It’s my first review!! Hopefully one of many (a personal goal for the blog this year). Influenster contacted me regarding testing out Gillette’s new Venus shaver as a part of their Embracing Sensitive Skin campaign. My husband must have told them my skin hasn’t been soft and silky smooth lately… Truthfully though, I’ve had difficulty after having Kai with my skin being extra dry and breaking out in rashes from different soaps and perfumes. So I’ve ended up having to stick with simple neutral soaps and even when shaving I’ve resorted to the disposable shavers – which still have cause some irritation.

Then came the Venus shaver! I actually was pretty excited to test it out and I will have to say I was pleasantly pleased with the results. No itching or missed spots either (that last one could just be a result of my bad eyes…). The shave was close (you’re welcome hubby) and I didn’t have any odd bumps underneath my arms or on my legs.

The pack initially comes with two disposable heads that have a pad of aloe around the blades. I normally am not one to purchase a shaver that I have to keep buying heads for, but I could make an exception for this one considering the results. I am very frugal when I want to be, but with age I’m realizing that you have to invest in certain things like: a great pair of slacks or boots… and with the terribly cold weather outside investing in skincare is coming up on my priority list.

If you’ve got sensitive skin like I do, give it a try. I really don’t think you’ll be disappointed honestly. Friday I will be sharing a simple salt scrub with three household items that I’ve started using to exfoliate, because this weather is creating serious alligator scales on my feet and legs…

Let’s talk about shame... When the Lord started Let’s talk about shame...

When the Lord started walking me through how my approach to correcting behavior started to look more like shaming... it was humbling and convicting. 

Many times my desire to correct overrides any opportunity to understand and walk through the challenge together. 

When I yell, dismiss, or even explode at what they shouldn’t be doing - I communicate shame rather than offering wise counsel. Especially with abstract concepts that deal with the heart like lying, pride, anger...

It hit me most when I yelled at my angry child for lashing out 👀 - as I watched myself I felt the Lord nudge me with how can you correct sin while sinning? 

... oh the embarrassment, but the chance to do better.

Quieting my own self and taking it in, because conviction makes room for growth not shame. 

I’ve asked the Lord more and more to calm my voice with the intent of allowing true change as I parent. Praying my heart is bent more to seeing how God restores and transforms our behaviors to reflect true goodness. Rather than a God who shames as they see me shame them. #christinmotherhood

Everyone then who hears these words of mine and do Everyone then who hears these words of mine and does them will be like a wise man who built his house on the rock. Matthew 7:24

There’s power in praying our family grows in God’s word and even more as we see ways to apply it daily. I’ve come to realize there’s a spiritual home we’ve been called to build it looks like this family.

In our character, how we reflect Christ, and how we model that for our kids - even invite them to do the same.

I started working on this portrait of us and wanted to symbolize how we’re planted. When times have been their hardest - it’s been God’s word that’s sustained us. #foundationinchrist
