EOS – Roxette Arisa

This may be a little TMI… but I’ll publically admit that I’m the type of girl that doesn’t always remember to shave my legs when I need to. That’s where EOS Ultra Moisturizing Shave Cream steps in. I’m a huge fan of anything EOS, but this hit especially close to home because unlike most, this shaving cream can be used wet or dry. Yep, you heard me right! As someone who personally finds herself in those desperate situations when it totally slips my mind to shave in the shower, this could definitely come in handy!

I scurried to my local drug store with just enough time to try using the EOS shave cream dry before my afternoon gym sesh (The day I first heard about it!). Talk about a semi-catastrophe turned into an exciting adventure.

My first impressions:

The smell: I managed to pick up the Vanilla Bliss scent. Just one whiff and I was sold. If you like the faint aroma of a French vanilla cupcake (gluten-free and vegan of course… duh!), you’ll love this scent.

The feel: This shaving cream is exactly that – a cream. No foaming nonsense involved. It has a silky lotion-like texture that feels like satin on your legs!

The application: Now for the moment of truth. [insert suspenseful music here] As I applied the product and took a swing at “dry shaving”, I was delightfully enthralled with EOS Ultra Moisturizing Shave Cream. Just make sure to remove any residue with a damp paper towel or washcloth. My legs truly felt moisturized and soft – like I had just jumped out of a warm bath, shaved my legs, and applied a luxurious lotion to top it off. All from just the shaving cream!

I am impressed. Aside from being the coolest and most convenient shaving cream ever, EOS Ultra Moisturizing Shave Cream leaves your skin feeling silky smooth. Plus it’s enriched with shea butter, Vitamin E, and Vitamin C to ensure your skin stays that way! Since using this shaving cream I’ve been less likely to get those pesky razor bumps and nicks which is quite spectacular saying that I’ve predominately been using it dry. As with all EOS products, this shaving cream is paraben-free and phthalate-free, which is icing on the [gluten-free and vegan French vanilla cup-] cake.

You won’t regret trying EOS Ultra-Moisturizing Shave Cream. It’s truly one of a kind!

P.S. I’m only going to say this one more time… it can be used wet or dry!!! I still can’t get over it…and it’s very likely, you won’t be able to either.

I recently went on a cross-country road trip and thought I would give you guys some of my road trip essentials!

First and foremost – gotta have my hydration! I love my purple BPA-Free Lifefactory Glass Bottle! I prefer to drink out of glass bottles as opposed to plastic which can contain DEHA (a ubstance linked to cancer). These bottles are amazing – I carry mine with me wherever I go!

Some good snackage is definitely necessary on a road trip – no matter how long you’re in the car! That’s it. Fruit Bars were a must! These bars are the perfect snack because they’re vegan, gluten-free, paleo, and made with only two ingredients – Fruit + Fruit! It’s like taking fruit on the run without the mess. My favorite flavor is Apple+Pear. I stored a few in my console to have as my perfect, daily sweet fix!

To satisfy my salty cravings, I munched on Kale Krunch. These are absolutely my favorite kale chips! I love the Tarragon Dijon flavor. They are healthy and delicious – a perfect snack when you’re on the run.

When I felt like I needed some real fuel, I sipped on Orgain. These are my favorite protein shakes because they’re filled with nourishing ingredients and even fruits and veggies. Plus, they just came out with two vegan flavors! When I saw the new vegan flavors on the shelves of Whole Foods, my life was made. Both of the vegan shakes make you feel wonderful and taste great, but my favorite was the Sweet Vanilla Bean flavor – Yum!

Last but not least, my EOS lip balm was essential on this trip! Five days on the road = unhappy, chapped lips for me! I picked one up as we were passing through South Dakota. Surprisingly, I had never tried EOS before! I really didn’t know what I was missing out on – with my EOS lip balm, my lips felt smooth, soft, and nourished – and on a side note, they’re so cute!
