That said, many times when I go away, I don’t bother shaving my legs – bringing my fancy shave gel and razor along can add bulk to an already crowded suitcase.

Target.com

However, this time around, I was stylish in smooth legs.

Diva 6 rocks. It’s the only razors on the market that come with real shaving cream INSIDE the handle!!! Just press the bottom of the razor handle, and a stream of foamy shaving cream dispels.

There’s enough shaving cream inside each razor for approximately 10 smooth shaves.

Why is this perfect for vacationing? Well, it’s super easy to carry, takes up no space, and has several “parts” incorporated into one. And, so, I have smooth legs on the beaches of Cabo…no overpacked suitcase required!

I am somewhat ashamed, as a blogger, to admit that I did my Valentine’s Day shopping at Target, but I did.  Today.  Yes, we all know that Target has the grooviest cheap merchandise around – sad, but true – the classy (wo)man’s WalMart.  I wish it weren’t so.  But what Target also has, that perhaps they shouldn’t, is an account with Boots, a fabulous line of cosmetics, skin and body care which has fairly recently made their way to the United States.  I have used many products from Boots in the past (their Mediterranean Wonderbalm is my wintertime savior!) , and I am sure I’ll buy many more, but I sure won’t be buying them from Target.  They seem to not care anything about aesthetics or hygiene, as the whole Boots wall in the College Station Target is disgusting.   Really, disgusting.  Products are all switched around, not in their proper spots, packaging is smooshed, things are spilled on the floor making it slippery.  And the testers, OMG.  Product is smeared all over them like a pack of 2 year olds were unleashed for a day.  Most of them are mostly empty, foundation is running down the sides of all of the bottles.  A bacterial nightmare, I’m sure.  There is no way that the mess that is the Boots wall was made in one morning.  No way.  I hope people from Boots are watching them – or more correctly I hope they are not, because I hope they wouldn’t approve of the way their counters are being tended.  I would have thought, and did think, that Target was a wonderful place for Boots to set up shop in the US, but it sure doesn’t seem to be.  Target’s lack of caring about their community and their shoppers is becoming more blatant every day. 

I pledge to find another place with cute inexpensive goodies for holiday gift giving, even in my small town, there are plenty of other options.  And btw, Boots is also available at CVS.  Might I suggest you give them a try.

Agathe at StyleBytes has been working hard once again to provide directions and inspiration for some do-it-yourself couture. Check out her super easy bubble skirt and circle skirt directions. SheFinds is talking about the fabulous cheek stain by Tarte, and Jackie at Jack&Hill is talking about her lack of enthusiasm with Laura Mercer’s foundation primer (M, from the comments on the last post, I am working on that one still for you, will get back to you on it shortly!!).

I have added a couple of blogs to my blogroll this week – Badger, at LipstickIsMyCrack, has been making the same observations I have made this week at the lack of beauty in the new collection at Target by British designer, Luella. Not beautiful, in fact tacky. Pity. The other blog I have added is by Toya, The Life of a Ladybug. She is a dancer and a beauty obsessed woman like the rest of us. She also writes a makeup column, so watch out for her links to those great articles!

DeLush has done their usual great reviews this week: DiorShow Eyecolors, Kiehs’s Abyssine Eye Cream and BeautyIntuition.com, a new beauty shopping web site. Look out for the DeLush readers coupon!

I am still working on the Spa Pedicure section at Nail Tech Secrets this week, but am moving a bit slow, because my husband has been on vacation all week (and he is very time consuming, know what I mean?). Be sure to learn how to do these properly yourself, to avoid the ultra scary bacteria that are out there. I saw a woman getting a pedicure in the mall yesterday, and I wanted to go in there and tell her about the infection possibility, but I thought I had best keep my crazy side under wraps. Ha. But please be careful – there are lots of alternatives to dangerous beauty methods, sometimes you just have to get a little creative. But we can do that, right???

I hope you all have a wonderful weekend, my husband should be back at work next week, so hopefully my posting frequency will go back up a little bit. Be safe and be beautiful!
