Schick Hydro Silk - the BEST razor on the market!


  • So I had the opportunity to sample the Schick Hydro Silk razor from BzzAgent.  This is by far my favorite razor on the market right now for more than one reason.  
  •  1. No snags - you know how disposable razors can tug and snag when you're using them? I HATE this, and it drives me crazy. With the Schick Hydro Silk it's a silky smooth shave, no razor burn and no snags! I had previously bought some venus cheapies and threw them right out, they snagged and tugged and it hurt! No one wants an uncomfortable shave, right? 
  • 2. Hydro Silk's 5 blades - the more, the better in my opinion. How many times have you bought a cheapie razor (it's OK.. we are all guilty..) and it only has 2 or 3 blades. It makes shaving twice as long and even harder to do! I am always stealing my husband's razors because they seem to have more blades, which equals a better and closer shave!
  •  3. Water activating moisturizing serum - no dry shaves, no dragging when the "soap" on your razor runs out. This bad girl has enough moisture serum to keep your shave close, smooth, and comfortable. I LOVE it. This razor is really my favorite, honestly. I've tried the Schick Quatro, the Venus, the Intuition, the Bic cheapies - you name it, I've tried it. And this one takes the cake. So if you want a perfectly close, comfortable shave - this is the razor for you! Find out more here!
Happy Shaving, lovelies!

Beat the cold with Zicam - a homeopathic option

I personally try to keep as many unnecessary chemicals out of my body as possible, including drugs to combat things like the cold & flu. I was lucky enough to be chosen for Zicam's Rapid Melts sample & share on Crowdtap and received a ton of free samples of Zicam's rapid melts.

The first word that impressed me on the packaging - homeopathic. What is homeopathic? It's an alternative, unconventional type of medicine, not your typical antibiotics and such. So I was sold right away.

 But beyond that, my husband works in a warehouse with around 20 or more other employees, so when one is sick, they all are. And my husband gets sick routinely and is miserable. So when Zicam came to the door, the only homeopathic remedy that's packaged that I know of, I was ready to spring them on dear husband!
I gave some out to my Kaplan co-workers too!


Some silly pics of my brother's immitating how they feel "before & after Zicam." They get sick frequently so they were happy to have these on hand. 
"After Zicam" gets a thumbs up!
Another before, sickly picture. 
And "after Zicam" he's stronger and back to his health. Funny kids, but really they did seem to feel better after being able to combat those "pre-cold" symptoms with Zicam. 

SO - why did I like Zicam?
First - the taste. I love cherry medicine, it just takes me back to being a kid. I personally love cherry coughdrops the most, and Zicam has that great cherry flavor in their rapid melts.

 Second - the texture. They dissolve in your mouth, which I personally like, because they soothe the throat right away. They're almost "cooling" as well, which I liked.

 Third- they work. My husband, mom, and brothers who all used it felt better soon after. It's designed to combat those first cold symptoms, but my husband was in the middle of a full blown cold and said he still could feel the effects.

His coworkers and mine also were really happy to have them, no one wants to get sick! In the end, I really like this product. I would buy it again for the cold & flu season, and the bottle was small enough to keep in my purse or glove compartment.

 Thank you Zicam for making a homeopathic option that isn't the same old cold medicine. We appreciate it!
