Silky Smooth

With summer just around the corner, us girls actually have to break out a razor and shave more then once a week (or in some of my friends cases once a month haha). I figured it would be a great time to share a shaving tip with you!

So while on Pinterest I stumbled upon a link that said how to have a long lasting silky smooth shave. I clicked it of course, because in all honesty I'm a sucker for trying a new beauty tips and HELLO I don't think there is anyone out there who truly enjoys shaving their legs and if you do I'm sorry, but that's weird! 

Anyways, Pinterest is seriously the best!! Bu I'm sure you all already know that.... it always has the best ideas on it, so without a doubt I knew this would grant my wish of  being able to go longer without picking up a razor and avoid looking like a cave women.  

 So when I clicked it all it said was exfoliate before you shave......you're joking.

You mean all this time all I had to do was freaking exfoliate? That's your big tip for me?

Yup.

I was a tad disappointed I was think I was going to stumble upon the holy grail of shaving ideas and this is all it gave me.

Well I sucked it up and got in the shower to try it out.....

I didn't like how the site didn't give any specifics so I decided to experiment a little.

I already use Dove exfoliating body wash every day, but that apparently isn't enough so I just so happened to have this product that my best friend gave me from Bath & Body works called.......

So I decided to use a small chunk of that and mix it with the Dove body wash and my legs were already ten times more smooth before I even started shaving. After I shaved and got out I was beyond amazed.

My legs legitimately felt like butter.

After I shower I always put on lotion right after I dry myself off and this time I used both lotion and coconut oil and I'm not even kidding My legs felt like silk. I literally made everyone feel them because I was so excited about it and it did last a few more days then normal! 

Another thing you can use a little sea salt and mix it with a body wash if you don't have...... from Bath & Body Works

You might be a tad red at first, but I promise it's worth it!

This is what I use to exfloliate

Here is the alternative and a lot cheaper!!

Enjoy!

Matilda's Mouse

On Saturday, two of my favorite people, Dawn and Jenni took me to this adorable place called Matilda's Mouse Antiques. I had never heard of it before, but the moment Dawn said the word antiques I was in. Thanks to my mother being one thrifty lady I have also become a lover of a good second hand treasure. So when we got to this place it was basically a large Barn filled inside and out with the most amazing antiques! We explored for about two hours having to look and stuff more then once because you would always find something new. I ended out getting a rake to put my necklaces on just like the one allllll over pinterest, I forgot to take a picture of it so I will just have to get one from online to show you what I'm talking about. Dawn got a pretty milk glass vase and Jenni fell in love with a ton of bird cages, but didn't end up getting any. We were all inspired to create a bunch of projects after going to Matilda's Mouse so check back to see what we came up with :)

Here is a link to Matilda's Mouse it's located in Valley Center and only goes on for one weekend a month so click the link for more details!

Reminded my of my Grandma so I had to take a picture

We wanted to take them home

The details on this Victorian photograph book were out of this world

I don't know if you can tell, but that design on the pages was engraved.

Gorgeous.

Don't these look like witch boots

Bird house with a fork perch, so cute!

This stop sign was insanely huge

This looks exactly like my rake

Mine is currently dark blue right now,  but I think I will paint it a crackley antique white

Milk glass for those of you don't know is beyond amazing!

(Super similar to Dawn's vase)
