Year(s) Long Hiatus + A Schick Giveaway!

Hello Dear (Loyal Few) Followers!

Its been nearly three years since I last visited my site! I'm sorry I haven't been around, but I'm gonna try and make it up to everyone. ;) There's more than a few changes in my life, so lets do a quick recap and get down to some free-stuff business:

1. I have a new baby! Her name is Vivian, she's 5 months old already (boy does time fly by), and she is the Princess of my little family's castle.
   
2.  I'm now a Full Time Mommy, AND a Full Time Admin. Asst. (Secretary to us less fancy folk).
3.  My baby Noah is now 6, soon to be 7. Can time pretty please slow down?
4.  I changed up my blog name. Welcome CrazyHairLair followers to the New and Improved Sweeps&Swag  

So anyhow, there's more changes, but there are also things in my life that remain constant. I'm still a (self proclaimed) Sweeping Queen, I still love free things, and I'm still trying to hook you guys up! So lets get right on to it. As some of you may remember, and, my bazillion new readers (Ha) will obviously see, I am a BzzAgent, and as a BzzAgent, I get free Swag for my honest opinion. Here we go:

Ive tried many Schick products before (Intuition, Quattro, etc) with some mixed feelings...not enough blades, not a close enough shave, nice exfoliation, etc; Needless to say I wasn't a MAJOR fan: Schick products were ok, but I wasn't raving...and then came the Hydro. (Can we get some strobe lights up in here, cause there's about to be a rave!) The Schick Hydro Silk disposable razors are one of the BEST disposable razors I have ever used before. There. I said it. Here’s why:

There are 5 "Curve Sensing Blades" which, to be honest...sounded like fluff to me....but fluff it is not! These 5 blades are wonder workers. Usually I have to use some major force to feel as if the blades are actually shaving as close to the minuscule follicle as possible (no there are no forests to be chopped through on my legs, I just enjoy a close shave!), but with Schick Hydro, a gentle glide was all which was necessary.

“Really, you say? A ”gentle glide”…get out of here.” But yeah, really! I didn’t even use shaving cream. (Gasp! I know, this is not good practice, but I was in a rush when I first tried my Hydro. ((I feel your pain new/new-again Mommies of screaming 5 month olds!)) I believe the good shave was made possible (in addition to the 5 blades) by the “water activated moisturizing serum”. This Schick product is legit. Just add a steady stream of water, and your good to go.

And, here’s another little gem about Hydro Silk: I’ve used the same blade 3 times, with no shaving cream, and have had the same results each time: A smooth, razor-bump-free shave. 

What are you waiting for Ladies??! Go get your silk on...oh ok, wait. I know what your waiting on....a free sample. You know I'm gonna hook someone up! One of my readers will be receiving a 3 pack of Schick HydroSilk Disposable Razors, the NEW Skintimate Silky Skin Shave Gel, and a coupon or two to help keep your skin smooth. Score!

Your Dad deserves more, Shutterfly can help. :)

Pops and Me December 1988

I dont know about you guys, but I happen to have THE BEST Dad in the world. He's Mr. Fix It in our home (and everyone elses home who we happen to know), he gives great hugs, smells nice, and is always wonderfully silly. Yes, even as a grown adult woman with my own children, these are all still important Dad Factors to me.


When Father's Day rolls around every year, I always like to take a little extra time, and put some serious thought into my Dad's gift. It has to be something he needs, AND something he'd want. (This is a given though, Im sure most of you go through the same thought process for your wonderful Father(s).) My Dad knows his gifts are going to rock, but honestly, I think what my Pops most looks forward to, is his card. I can go into his room, and in his top dresser drawer I will find Father's Day cards dated way too far back. He treasures his cards, and the loving notes written carefully inside of them.

My Sisters, Pops, and Myself

This year, make sure to give your dad a great Father's Day card that he will treasure for years to come, by going HERE to Shutterfly's Facebook. Show them some love by liking their page. Shutterfly will offer you a free personalized 5x7 photo or stationary card to share with your dad. (Do it quickly, this offer will only be available through June 18th.) Awesome.  ;)

There is nothing as fortunate as being blessed with a good Dad, and I thank God everyday for mine. So to all wonderful Father's out there, please know that you are appreciated, loved, and special. Happy Father's Day!

My Favorite Dad in the whole wide world. :)
