Try It Tuesday

I'm going to start something that I'm calling Try It Tuesday. Any of you that know me know that I love gadgets and I'm a sucker for infomercials. I'm going to start posting my likes and dislikes on Tuesdays. I'm not saying that I'm going to buy something new to try every week, I'll post some of my oldies but goodies (or baddies, if that's even a word). I'm going to start this with something that I did buy in the "as seen on tv" section at Target last week. All I have to say, Smooth Away(ste) of money! You've probably seen the smooth away thing on tv. All you do is rub it on your skin and voila, instantly smooth skin. This was definitely not the case with my first (and last) go with the smooth away pads. I'm probably giving you TMI (too much information) but I have coarse, dark hair and you're supposed to rub it 3 times in a circle clockwise and then 3 times counter clockwise in the same area until all the hair has been removed. If I had kept this up I would have rubbed the top layer of epidermis right off my legs. I only did it 6 times total and felt like I had razor burn, I'd rather shave. Which is where I'm headed next. I've found the best recipe for super smooth shaved legs. I use an exfoliator first (I use St. Ives Apricot scrub) and rub it into your legs (even works on your underarms) then rinse. Instead of shaving cream I use Caress Daily Silk body wash. (I gave up shaving cream years ago. It gave me worse razor burn and nicks than just using soap.) If you have any sure fire tips or tricks or want me to try something that you're not brave enough to try yet, let me know.
