Sponsored Post: Schick Hydro Silk

A few months ago, I signed up for BzzAgent after seeing other bloggers that I follow rave about all the free goodies. I mean, who doesn't love free stuff? The premise of Bzz Agent is that you take short surveys on the things you like (food, makeup, drinks, personal hygiene products, household products, etc) and based on your preferences, Bzz Agent will send you new products to test out and talk about through social media. It takes a little while to get your first Bzz Campaign, but once you do and start completing your Bzz Activities, such as this awesome blog post dedicated to my first Bzz Campaign, as well as Facebook and Twitter posts, the campaigns will start coming in. As I just mentioned, this is my first Bzz Campaign, and I'm SUPER excited about it! So without further ado, I introduce you all to the new Schick Hydro Silk razor!



I'm going to start off by saying that the Schick Hydro Silk is awesome! Simple as that. I've always used disposable razors, so this was obviously a HUGE improvement. I also live in Florida, where shaving almost every day is a necessity. The problem with me shaving my legs every day, is that when I do, I start to get hideous and also painful razor bumps. Switching from a one-bladed razor to a 3-bladed razor helped for awhile, but this baby has FIVE blades, and my legs, arms, and underarms have never been more silky smooth. Here's a comparison from the razor I was using, to the Schick Hydro Silk:



Not only did my BzzKit come with the Shick Hydro Silk razor, but it also came with a replacement blade, a little holder that you can suction to the wall of your shower so that the blade doesn't stick to your tub/soap/etc, and TONS of $5 off coupons so all my friends can try out this awesome razor! The starter pack has a retail value around $9.99, so the $5 off coupon is a great deal! Please let me know if you'd like a coupon to try it out and I'd be happy to share the wealth!



I have to say that I am officially a convert! I noticed the difference immediately and I never want to go back. In fact, I havn't even been using shaving cream or lotion when shaving and my legs, arms, and underarms and still super smooth. This truly is a great product and the best part of all is that I got to try it for free! Thank you BzzAgent for an awesome first campaign! Can't wait to receieve my next BzzCampaign!

I Heart Disney's PhotoPass!

As avid Disney-goers, I need to confess my love for Disney's PhotoPass photographers. I've been taking advantage of PhotoPass for a couple of years now, and I wanted to share the information for all of those who have not used these services before. Here's how PhotoPass works:

Throughout the Disney parks and resorts you will find PhotoPass photographers who will take pictures of you and your family (and friends!). You will find most of these photographers at the front of the parks, in designated photo spots, and with characters for meet-and-greet. As you and your family get your pictures taken, the PhotoPass photographer will hand you a card that they will scan and have you keep. Keep the card on you throughout the day, and throughout your trip and hand that card to the PhotoPass photographer before getting your picture taken, and all your photos from your trip will be stored on your card. At every park, there are PhotoPass kiosks, where you can go view your pictures and order prints for a discounted price. Your pictures can also be accessed online at http://www.disneyphotopass.com, where you will type in the identification number on the back of the card and you'll find all of your pictures from the last 30 days. Here comes the fun part! On the PhotoPass website, you have the option to add all kinds of fun borders and images to really give your photos that Disney touch! Here are some examples of some of the super fun photos taken with PhotoPass, courtesy of Eve and Phil!









For this particular Disney trip, Eve and Phil purchased their PhotoPass cd before their trip, which you can get online for a discounted price of $169.95 (its $199.95 to purchase your PhotoPass cd with all your pictures after your trip has ended). Its a bit pricey for someone just going to the parks for the day, but if you are planning a full-on Disney trip, its a great deal because you get unlimited pictures from your trip without lugging around all the camera equipment, worrying about extra batteries, etc. Plus, when you order the PhotoPass cd, it also comes with TONS of professional quality stock pictures from the parks to add to your photo collection. Its really an awesome deal that allows you to capture all the Disney magic of your trip!

HUGE thanks goes out to Eve and Phil for sharing these awesome pictures with me!
