These Razors Give You The Closest, Nick-Free Shave

If you shave your legs, armpits, bikini line and/or wherever else you please, you know that spending a couple extra bucks to find the best razor designed for women that won’t rust after just one use or leave you with a “nick” that looks more like an open wound rather than a superficial cut is totally worth it. This is especially the case if you’re too low-maintenance (or like me, downright too lazy) to commit to monthly waxing appointments to groom the well, the more “intimate” areas of the body. While I shamelessly tend to forgo shaving my legs, armpits, having a quality razor in my arsenal to help keep me smooth and razor-bump-free has become a top priority for my grooming routine.

I admit to only pulling out the razor when I plan on wearing something thigh-grazing, putting on a bikini, or have a date planned. As of late, I’ve become enchanted with the skin-enhancing benefits of shaving my face. Yes, it may sound odd, but just like dermaplaning, shaving my face not only gets rid of my unwanted “mustache” and all-over peach fuzz that is becomes blindingly obvious in golden-hour lighting, but it also doubles as a gentle exfoliant, sloughing away dead skin almost as effectively as my favorite retinol products.

Naturally, I certainly do not want to use any old disposable razor on my delicate skin, so opting for one that’s effective but gentle is paramount. While I definitely don’t recommend using the same razor for your body and face (if you choose to use a razor at all, that is), I’ve rounded up some solid razors that are sharp enough to give you a summer-ready close shave, but gentle enough to use on your face, bikini area, and even your toes.

Mary Cosby’s Grey Tennis Outfit With Meredith

Real Housewives of Salt Lake City Season 2 Episode 6 Fashion

I think it’s safe to say that Mary Cosby was totally #relatable in this scene with Meredith on last night’s episode of RHOSLC; although she had no idea how to play tennis, she suggested a game of it just because she had the perfect outfit to wear. And although we have no idea how to play either either, brb while we go book a game at our local courts just so we can replicate this cute preppy lewk asap.

Although Lisa Barlow apparently hasn’t worked out in nine years (ummm, what’s her secret?!), she was totally werk-ing this black mesh sweatshirt on the silk at aerial aerobics on last night’s episode of RHOSLC. And lucky for all us Lisa stans it’s apparently still up for grabs, under $100 and ready to swing on into our closets for the next time we decide to work out…or not.

This Kim Kardashian & Victoria Beckham-Approved Exfoliator Is 40% Off—But Not For Long

I’ve been fighting acne on-and-off throughout my life, but it came back in a big way a few years ago. Washing my face with my hands never seemed to make my skin feel very clean. I started to get frustrated that I wasn’t seeing a difference in my skin despite adapting to a 7-step skincare routine. Then, as a holiday gift, my mom bought me the FOREO Luna Mini 2 (AKA the device that celebs like Kim Kardashian, Victoria Beckham, and Cindy Crawford have all gone on record praising), and let me tell you, it’s been a game-changer.

After two months of using this cleansing brush twice a day, my skin finally started to clear. The breakouts almost completely stopped (aside from the occasional blemish here and there), my skin feels more elastic and it feels like my cleanser is actually getting rid of dirt, oil and dead skin cells.

So, I’m obviously more than excited to say that this wondrous gadget is 40% off right now, as part of Amazon’s Holiday Beauty Haul sales event. Here, you can shop hair and skincare essentials for huge discounts right before the holidays hit full swing.

Our mission at STYLECASTER is to bring style to the people, and we only feature products we think you’ll love as much as we do. Please note that if you purchase something by clicking on a link within this story, we may receive a small commission of the sale.

As my family and friends can attest, it’s difficult for me to change my routine, but I religiously use this silicone brush twice a day—no matter how tired I am. To use it, I put my cleanser on my face, wet the cleanser and move it in a circular motion around my skin for one minute, then I rinse. I usually just use the basic setting and don’t play around with the other seven vibration levels. I’ve been using it since December and haven’t had to recharge it once.

Even though this brush is a little pricey, usually retailing at $119, it’s worth adding to your cart. The aquamarine cleansing brush is only $71 today, so you’ll be saving nearly $50 on it. I don’t know how long it will last though, so you should shop it now.

7 Tips to Ease the Stress of Solo Travel

Are you considering taking a trip alone? Do you regularly travel alone?

Smartphones have made travel more manageable but have also added a level of safety and organization that was previously unattainable for most novices. Here are some tips and tricks that will help make your travels less frustrating no matter what happens.

Staying Safe by Sharing Your Location

Solo travelers should take extra care to make safety their #1 priority. Unexpected situations are more controllable if you have a few critical things in place before your journey begins.

First, make sure you set up location sharing with your phone for the duration of your travels.

Second, you’ll want to set up regular check-in periods to confirm all is well. Consider every third day, or every evening, a simple text letting your buddy know that all is well.

Third, choose a tech-savvy, responsible friend or family member. Don’t rely on an oblivious person that is never near their phone. If you need assistance, they will have to locate you, get help, and follow up to ensure your safety.

Find My App

If you have an iPhone, the Find My app that comes pre-installed is a great tool that allows friends and family to know where you are at any moment. To get started, open the Find My app and tap the People icon at the bottom, and tap Share My Location.

Next, enter the name or phone number of the person with whom you want to share your location. You can choose to share it for an hour, until the end of the day, or indefinitely. There’s also an option to notify your friend when you leave or arrive at a particular destination.

Google Maps

For non-Apple phones, use Google Maps to set up location sharing. Like the Find My app, you can choose who you want to see your location and how long you want them to see it. They don’t have to have a Gmail address to use this method.

Medical ID and Emergency Contacts

Fourth, update your emergency contacts and the Medical ID information on your phone. For iPhone users, it’s in the Health App, and for Android phones, it’s under Settings, Users, Emergency Contact Info.

This data will help first responders if you are in an emergency situation. They are trained to check these sections of your phone in case of a medical emergency when you are not responsive.

Spend time before your trip to enter all pertinent health information in the medical ID. Don’t skip sections. Include your birth date, medical conditions, allergies, medications, and blood type. Also, make sure you have at least two emergency contacts listed here. These people must already be in your Contacts app and have valid telephone numbers.

Regarding medications, besides having the information listed in your health app, it is also a good idea to have photos of all medicines with the entire prescription legible. You may need a refill in a different state or country if you lose anything, and only the original bottle will help.

Medical Insurance Card and App

Whether traveling abroad or at home, have your insurance information at your fingertips. Most carriers have apps that contain your insurance card. Create online access and log in to the app to learn how to use it.

Also, just in case, scan your insurance card(s), front and back, so you can easily pull it up if needed. Then, verify you know how to get to it on your phone.

Scan your passport and have copies available on your phone and printed out in your luggage. If your bags and wallet or purse are stolen with your ticket, you’ll need an accessible copy. Again, keeping a copy on your phone in a secure app is the best solution.

Get Organized with a Travel Planner App

The more organized you are before you go on your trip, the less frustration you will have during your adventures. Using a travel planner app, such as TripIt, is a great way to keep all of your itinerary information in a convenient location. In addition, it allows you to easily access your hotel, car rental, and flight reservations within one app.

Once you create an account on TripIt, it will build itineraries based on confirmation emails for flights, accommodations, restaurant reservations, and other activities. The information is automatically forwarded to the app from your email, or you can manually forward confirmation emails.

TripIt is my favorite because it works seamlessly. I have used it for years with great success. The app also allows you to share your trip with other people who are not traveling or sync it with your calendar.

Don’t Forget to Set Up Airline Apps

Lastly, it is wise to have apps from each airline you will be using during your travels on your phone. Create an account with each one, so your flight itinerary is easily accessible within the app. It’s not enough to have the complete itinerary in an app like TripIt. You cannot check in or buy a flight using a travel management app. You need the airline app.

I hope you find comfort and a game plan from the tips listed. I haven’t included adding the AirBnB app or specific city apps. Instead, my focus is getting you organized and prepared should the worst happen.
