Venus Snap Vox Box Review

51tuhwQVxcL._SY300_I was excited to be chosen for another Vox Box! (see here to learn more about what Vox Boxes are) This time, the Vox Box was dedicated to one of my most-used items: razors! I don’t shave my legs nearly as often as I’d like during the off-seasons but during summer and vacations I like my legs to be extra smooth. I received the Venus Snap which is a to-go razor. Tiny and easy to pack, this razor is shorter in length than a usual razor and has a great grip area. You don’t need to use shaving cream as it has a strip that moisturizes when you add water. The idea behind this razor is to use on-the-go or on vacation. It so happened we left for Orlando, Florida right after I got the box in the mail. You better believe I packed this little razor. I was surprised at how easily it helped shave my entire legs and how small it was. I was afraid it would be awkward to hold because of the size but it fit in my hand perfectly. I used shaving cream when I was in the shower but didn’t when I was touching up. The blue little holder is plastic and water-proof. It also has holes in it so your razor can breathe and not get all nasty. The product is around $8. I’m not really one for reusable razors. I like disposable but I can see where this would be handy for travel. I wish the product Influenster gave us came with extra blades so I could review how it worked changing them. Anyway, the razor comes with 5 blades…perfect for a close shave. I give it a solid B.

Discloser: I received these products complimentary for testing purposes from Influenster

We had the chance to go to Niagara Falls for a few nights and I blogged about it on our travel site: Rerouted Journey. I couldn’t resist highlighting a few of my favorite pictures to share with you lovelies.

An Island Adventure: A Day Trip To Put-In-Bay (Part 2)

We took the Miller Ferry to the island and explored even more…

Perry’s Victory & Peace International Memorial

Three fun facts:

1. It’s taller than the Statue of Liberty.

2. It’s not white but appears white from a distance.

3. You can see Canada from the top.

Who loves steps? This girl! (We rode the elevator most the way)

Oh the beauty! You almost forget you’re in Ohio.

This was such a cool sight. Someone planted greenery in an old rusted platform.

We visited a hatchery,  a place where fish are bred and placed back into the wild.

An Island Adventure: A Day Trip To Put-In-Bay (Part 1)

Hi lovelies! I spent last Friday on an island with some of those dearest to me: my sister, my daddy, my husband, and my sister’s boyfriend. We woke up early and were on the road by 7:30am! Dad put together our trip which included seeing the Marble Head Lighthouse, swimming in the lake, riding up Perry’s Victory and International Peace Monument and eating some good Cameo pizza. Here’s some pictures I took for you while I walked, rode, swam & skipped:

Image

Michael: What have we always said was the most important thing? What comes first?

George Michael: Breakfast.

Michael: Family.

George Michael: Family. Right. I thought you meant out of the things you eat.

Above: Me, Daddy, and Kayley

Me & the love of my life.

Girls Day in the Cit-ay!

On Tuesday night we indulged in our annual tradition, a girls get-a-way! My mum, my sister, my grandma and I all went to Columbus and shopped, ate great food, swam, played Settlers of Catan, and laughed a lot!

My mum and my little sister, Kayley pose with an American Gothic mural in the Short North District.

The city.

Image

We stayed at the Drury Inn. It was nice. It includes dinner, soda pop, breakfast, and snacks. Kayley and I swam in the indoor pool and we all loved the beds.

Image

Since I was little my grandma takes us on a girls night. We all choose a place and stay the night. It’s been one of the best things we do as a family and we have so many good memories from it. I hope to continue to do this fun tradition with my kids someday. I was happy to be back in C-bus because we went shopping and I got to go to a Sephora! I didn’t get much but found a LORAC palette on sale for $12. I’ll have to do a review and swatch.

Xoxox,
