Get Ready for a Memorable Date Night

Date Night

The time has come for a very special event. When you think of a very special event do you cringe? I often do because that means I will have to shave my legs. That was of course before I got a big girl razor and some fantastic shaving cream. I now look forward to having smooth legs that look incredible. I am heading out for a night on the town with this guy that I like to call my “hot husband”. He is both hot and my husband. I love date nights for a couple of reasons the first one is obvious I get to spend time alone with my hot husband. The second is I get to take my time getting ready. I am sure you all have what I call “the shower drill.” That means you have to get everything you need done in the shower as quick as possible prior to someone banging on the door with an emergency. That is truly why it is helpful to have a real razor that works or you will cut yourself in haste. When given the time on date night, I make it a point to hire the babysitter early so I can enjoy my prep time and not have to make or clean up dinner. I head for the bathroom, lock the door and get on to do my ready shave shine routine.

I use hot water and all of the special soap, facial wash, and my St. Ives® Fresh Skin Apricot scrub. Have you used that stuff it is excellent. I do get carried away and I use it on my face, feet, chest. Well, everywhere almost. It takes off the dead skin and give you the glow of youth. It doesn’t even contain paraben or sulfate. It is also hypoallergenic, non- comedogenic, and dermatologist tested. The best part is has 100% natural ingredients. It’s exfoliants and oil free, I mean oil is for cars and cooking not for your face.

Then I go for my extra special deep conditioner and I enjoy the Oatmeal & Shea Butter from St. Ives®. It smells like a vacation and it leaves your dry skin looking fantastic and you will feel fresh. The St. Ives® brands are an affordable luxury that make me forget the grime of my day. When I use the body wash I start to get my groove back. You know the groove you had when you were cool. Yes, it is that powerful. I have the radio on so that I do not have to hear what is going on. I make sure that I enjoy my shower. Then I go fix my hair put on a little make up nothing much. You know my husband has a rule, it is I would like you to look like the girl I fell asleep next to and not someone with a painted face. I put on my lipstick which is a must and I do my hair so it isn’t frizzy, then I put on my dress.

Then I am all set. The magic then happens. When I go to put on my shoes my husband jumps in the shower steals my brand new razor and he usually use the apricot scrub. Then he is down by the time I have my shoes on and I have kissed the kids and instructed the babysitter on all the tricks my children will use to get out of everything. We will be already to go.

Where are we going? You know we love to go have a nice meal without crayons. I usually can find a nice place and i use a coupon so we get the most for our money. I may not look like I eat a lot but trust me I like to eat. Then we end the day by watching a great movie. We’re looking forward to see Pitch Perfect 2 this May.
