I have mentioned on this blog before how when I started shaving my legs, my mom (who is practically hairless) and my aunt (who is nothing close to being hairless) both told me that I was ruining my natural beauty by shaving my legs. I thanked them for their unsolicited opinion, and I kept on shaving those legs.<\/p>\n<p>Back then, however, I did it mostly when I was going to be wearing a skirt and pretty constantly during the summer because I wanted people [<strong>READ: BOYS<\/strong>] to see and notice my hairless legs. At some point, however, I realized it did not matter if I shaved my legs or not because no one would notice. No one would notice because just like my mom, I barely had any hair (although I had more than her). So unless someone was rubbing their hands up and down my legs or staring at them with a magnifying glass, they would never know the difference.<\/p>\n<p>But even when I realized this, I still maintained my shaving. By this time, I was no longer doing it for people [Again, READ: BOYS]; I was now doing it for myself because the truth is, I loved rubbing my hands up and down my legs whenever they were hairless. It made me feel so feminine and sexy and powerful, like I could conquer the world and run for President and make sweet, fatty cake calorie-free. And when I&#8217;d shave my underarms, I&#8217;d go above and beyond to raise my arms and show the world what I had beneath.<\/p>\n<p>I feel blessed to be a part of the <strong>#RockYourLegs<\/strong> campaign from Schick and Skintimate. I still remember the &#8220;Skintimate or not&#8221; ads I could not stop staring at. When I first used the Schick Intuition with revitalizing moisture, I nearly went to church for a Thanksgiving service. It went on so smoothly that I thought it wasn&#8217;t working. Then I looked at the blade and realized that it was working indeed; it was working too well.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\" aligncenter\" style=\"float: none; max-width: 100%;\" title=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/verastic.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/Schick-Skintimate-3.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Prior to this, Funmie was already a Schick fan, but she never told me how great it was, which in turn, made me question her friendship and loyalty. How could she not tell me. I tried several other Schick products, and I was just blown away.<\/p>\n<p>For the purpose of this post, I was all too eager to once again use the Schick Intuition for your viewing pleasure. This thing is beyond amazing. Unfortunately, I couldn&#8217;t get my camera to focus on my leg (not the camera&#8217;s fault; I&#8217;m still learning to do more than point and shoot with my camera), but I wish you could feel these legs!<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\" aligncenter\" style=\"float: none; max-width: 100%;\" title=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/verastic.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/Schick-Skintimate-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p>On average, I shave about once a week, and it&#8217;s really fast and convenient. I can do it in or out of the shower, but I prefer to do it in the shower, right before I take a shower. I can tell you this much: the days that I do shave, I take extra time putting my lotion on. Haven&#8217;t you seen how the ladies do it in commercials? In slow motion, with their eyes closed, and with a wide smile on their faces. Yup, that&#8217;s me after I shave.<\/p>\n<p>I do realize that shaving is an absolutely personal thing, so I won&#8217;t force anyone to do it, but if you do, try it with Schick and Skintimate. Oh, and don&#8217;t get me started on the fruity [edible!] smell of Skintimate. It makes me want to serve my legs for dessert &#8212; to myself. I have heard that when you become a really old lady, the simple things become difficult, so while I still have my youth, I intend to enjoy and explore it to the fullest.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\" aligncenter\" style=\"float: none; max-width: 100%;\" title=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/verastic.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/Schick-Skintimate-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p>You should check out the <a href=\"https:\/\/tracking.tapinfluence.com\/trk\/ZgbsX\/nDAYo\/c?p=w8oaH&amp;i=xvOj1&amp;r=10%2Br6JWT7avBu8RXGslDGv3qhbpmWXTE\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"><strong>Rock Your Legs music video<\/strong><\/a> (yes, of course, there&#8217;s a music video!), and for more information on this fabulous campaign, click <a href=\"https:\/\/tracking.tapinfluence.com\/trk\/ZgbsX\/nDAYo\/c?p=w8oaH&amp;i=xvOj1&amp;r=YnAIRI%2BHUb9ZNPXP6%2F7bGzzvWoqse2eA\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"><strong>HERE<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\" aligncenter\" style=\"width: 750px; height: auto; display: block; margin: 0px auto; max-width: 100%;\" title=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/platform-remix-production.s3.amazonaws.com\/uploads\/5802411a-e457-11e4-8e39-22000afd2dc7\/3f6cadc6-e465-11e4-a19f-22000af93a2d.png\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p>All Pitch Perfect 2 Limited Edition Shave products will be available beginning April 2015 at drug and grocery stores nationwide.<\/p>\n<p>This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of Schick\u00ae and\/or St.Ives.
