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…

If we can gift our kids anything - quality time ov If we can gift our kids anything - quality time overrides it all.

Staying intentionally present and less annoyed at the little things. Also taking out my Nikon more this month 📷

In just a few months we’ll be celebrating 10 yea In just a few months we’ll be celebrating 10 years.

I love who we are today, because of how we committed to growing/learning through the last nine years. 

Working on ourselves has made room to see the worth and value of us together. 

Expecting your partner to be everything, fix everything, and fill everything - will leave you with nothing. For me to be at my best I have learned that space and role is reserved for Christ.

Releasing those expectations, owning your growth, and finding ourselves deeper in Jesus continues to be our glue. 

That and lots of random 😏 time... these kids didn’t show up on their own. #ourownmarriagegoals
Since December we have been practicing how to rest Since December we have been practicing how to rest as a family - real soul rest and it’s been life giving.

On Friday evenings we cook together and disconnect. Last weekend we made this challah bread and it was delicious! Mike and I look through new recipes to prep for our time. This recipe is on the blog!

Slowing down last year taught us how unhealthy being “busy” and doing more was for us individually, as a family, and even for our kids. We were functioning in rhythms that may have appeared to be beneficial - but had negative side effects. 

2020 allowed us to refocus and shift. Mike and I knew God desires for our home to benefit most - because it’s our first ministry. 

Family rhythms look unique to you and I pray yours is reaping the best it can this week ♥️ #familyrhythms #familyisourfirstministry
