Gearing up for summer beauty and a new routine doesn’t usually take me long.
I live in jeans and t-shirts (sometimes with long sleeves!) for winter. If I’m lucky, I’ll wear a sweater or jacket a few times over the season. I never worry about how my legs look. I’ll go weeks on end without shaving during the winter months and my poor husband has to suffer. By the end of March I am starting to pack up jeans and swap them out for shorts. South Texas doesn’t usually get a spring so there is not much need for pants by April. I don’t love shorts because I don’t love my legs. I inherited my dad’s ‘stove pipe’ legs. They aren’t beautiful or sexy. I have cankles all the time and they aren’t cute. But shorts are a necessity in South Texas.
This year has been a little different – it was cooler much longer than usual. We still have jeans in our drawers and I’ve just started pulling out the shorts. But I’ll be wearing those shorts very soon so it was time to go to Walmart and pick up my summer beauty supplies – a new can of Skintimate shave gel in Mandarin Burst, a bottle of Hawaiian SPF lotion and a new razor – the Schick Quattro.
I’ve used a man’s razor for at least the last 10 years, so I was a little nervous about switching to the Schick Quattro but I loved it! My legs were way smoother than they have been in a long time. I even felt a little more confident in my appearance. I almost didn’t care that my legs are ‘stove pipes’! The Mandarin Burst shave gel smells amazing – just like summer!

I don’t like my legs so I usually wear jeans or yoga pants, but I usually just shave my legs. I need to be more diligent about applying lotions.
Kira says
I started using Skintimate shave gel a few years ago, although I haven’t tried the Mandarin Burst but the ones I’ve used all smelled good and it goes on smoothly.
Lisa @ Crazy Adventures in Parenting says
I think I really want to try that razor. I’ve always been a fan of Hawaiian Tropic but that razor looks exactly like something I’d love to use with all those blades and the moisturizing strip. While I love shave gels, I usually don’t mess with one additional product in the shower 😉
Wendy says
I always use a shave gel! ALWAYS. And, here in Connecticut, I’m still wearing sweatpants sometimes!
Digna D. says
Now THIS is a summer package I could really use. Always liked the skintimate products and with less being worn in summer it is always important to me to keep my legs shaved.
Yoly says
Definitely must haves for summer. I didn’t know that Skintimate had a new scent. Will have to check it out!
Kimberly Grabinski says
Cute sandals! I don’t like my legs either, I bet most women don’t.
Sara Phillips says
Those sandals are SUPER comfy! I might have to stitch one of the flowers back on pretty soon, but I’m ok with that!
Michelle says
These look like great products for summer, I’m already a huge fan of the schick quatro!
Shell Feis says
I’m the same way about not loving how I look in shorts but them being totally necessary here. I love these products too, the razor gets a surprisingly close shave! By the way, your shoes are so cute!
Liz Mays says
I love Skintimate for the way it works and their heavenly smells! I shave 365/365 so I need the right tools!
melinda says
my legs are in need of a pedicure and thorough moisturizing after this winter
Julie Wood says
I love these products, especially the Schick Hydro Razor. I have to put on a lot of lotion because my legs are dry. Also, my legs are pale and I use a self tanner to give them a little color.
Helga says
Great products. I love pampering my skin.
Kat B. says
Just recently I started waxing but I have got to start putting on lotion and sunblock. My poor skin burns so bad.
Elisabeth says
I’m kind of in the same boat as you, living in Georgia. Shorts are necessary! That shave gel sounds lovely!
Dana Rodriguez says
Ohhh your sandals are super cute! I have used the Schick Quattro Hydro Silk and I like it.I shave my legs almost daily and use lot’s of moisturizer though I am not much of a shorts person.Bird legs are not attractive lol.
deninemichele says
Schick razors rule! I use them all of the time!!
Not So Average Mama says
I am sooo bad…I usually just use soap or conditioner.
Robin Wilson says
I use and love all of those products! I just wish that razor blades weren’t so darn expensive. Your sandals are adorable too!
Sara Merritt says
Hi, Sara. Glad you had success switching to a new razor! #client
