HOW I’M GETTING MY LEGS READY FOR SPRING
Spring is on the horizon, and that means warmer temperatures will soon be here. I’ve already been getting messages and requests for swimsuits, so I know you ladies are as anxious as I am for Spring and Summer to arrive. Warmer temperatures mean less clothing, and we will soon be wearing short sleeves and shorts.
My poor legs look so pale in this floral dress and belted trench that I resemble Casper The Ghost. So, before I put on more dresses or shorts, my legs need some attention. In my younger days, I made the mistake of trying to get a golden tan by applying only baby oil. The only thing that I ended up getting was burnt to a crisp, and sunspots all over my legs. Now, I use a faux tanner to achieve a golden tan, but you need to prep your legs before applying. I start using Jergens Natural Glow Sunless Tanning-In-Shower Lotion in early spring to give my legs a light tan.
The first thing that I do is exfoliate my legs. The faux tanner will cling to any rough patches of skin, so exfoliating is a must. My daughter and I went to Walmart and picked up this sugar exfoliating body scrub that smells amazing. It smells just like watermelon, and it has me craving a bowl right now. Lol! I like using an exfoliating glove to apply the body scrub. The texture of the glove seems to work better than using my hands or a cloth.
Next, it is time to shave the forest that has accumulated over the winter. It might not be a forest, but I don’t shave as often in the winter as I do in the summer. I’ve been seeing the Billie Razor all over social media, so I decided to give it a try.
Before shaving, I applied the Billie Shave Cream that is formulated with Shea Butter, Coconut Oil, and Aloe. This formulation gives you gentle protection, deep moisture, and will soothe and calm skin — it’s the perfect barrier between you and your razor. I am especially fond of the whipped texture that is extra gentle and leaves you irritation-free. #nobumps
The Billie Razor Starter Kit comes with one razor, two 5-blade refills, and a magnetic holder to place on your shower wall. I ordered the Dream Pop Starter Kit and matching Dream Pop Travel Case.
The travel case has a magnet in the lid so that the razor “floats” and the blades stay sharp. That is a feature that I would not have thought of by myself.
The travel case makes it easy to pop your razor into your handbag or gym bag as you head to the gym. Using the case will keep your fingers protected as well as the blade.

Love the pink purse! Where can I purchase one?
Thank you! I’m a very pale redhead, and want to try this so my white skin doesn’t blind anyone. If anyone knows, please share!!
Please share some the shopping information for the beautiful raspberry tote. I love that tote!!!
That’s the one I used, apply while wet. Will still try again, just prep better! Your legs look great by the way, your efforts show. Kim 🌸
Can you swim after the Jergens tanner or does it leave a brown trail??
Lol! Sue, I don’t think that I’ve ever been asked that question before. Honestly, I’ve never noticed a brown trail, but I usually put it on a few hours before going in the water.
