When Minutes of Grooming in the Bathroom Equals a Vacation

Thanks to Dollar Shave Club for sponsoring this post.

This is a photo of me and Brett on vacation.

And by vacation, I mean enjoying a simple moment of grooming in the bathroom because when your day starts with cleaning up a pile of dog poop while the kids cry because their sock seams don’t line up and continues at a constant speed until you’re propping your head up to stay awake while attempting to help with fraction story problems, you look forward to a simple grooming routine in the bathroom as if it’s a trip to Tahiti.

That means when I finally do find a sliver of the day for some cherished self care time in the bathroom, I want it to feel special. When I turned 40, one of the things I promised myself was that I’d turn up the volume on some slapdash daily routines to transform them into more purposeful rituals to be enjoyed. No more slapping water on my face to pass as “washing,” or digging through drawers to find a dull razor because I forgot to buy one, or making do with products I don’t love because they’ve been sitting in my bathroom for years.

I’m stocking my bathroom cabinets with things that make me feel good and investing more in my self care routine so that those quiet moments of grooming in the bathroom feel less like a chore and more like a vacation.

It helps when we find products that are affordable and when shopping for them is convenient. Have you heard of Dollar Shave Club? Dollar Shave Club has all your grooming needs – shower, oral care, deodorants and most importantly, shaving. They sent me their Ultimate Shave Starter Set (only $5!) and Post Shave Cream.

The starter set includes Dollar Shave Club’s Dr. Carver’s Prep Scrub (exfoliates dead skin cells and helps release and prevent ingrown hairs), Dr. Carver’s Shave Butter (transparent for a more precise shave, helps fights razor bumps), Dr. Carver’s Post Shave Dew (helps provide hydration and relieves on contact), the Executive Razor Handle, and a 2 pack cartridge set all for just $5

My favorite is the shave butter because I do not do razor bumps–especially not in Florida when we’re frequently dipping in salt water (razor bumps and salt water are enemies), and I learned long ago that smooth legs need more than soap and water.

I’m very picky about razors, and I love this one–a weighty handle (very important) and high quality 6-blade razor heads. This is me, yelling the iPad password to the kids so they can play games and leave me alone while I’m on vacation.

Of course it’s always nice when Brett and I share products…as long as he keeps that razor away from the beard because Long Live the Beard!

You can get the Ultimate Shave Starter set for only $5 at www.DollarShaveClub.com/Kelle and then round out your grooming routine by adding any of their other high quality products. After that, the restock box ships full-sized products at regular price.

To more routines turned rituals…and the products that help make them that.
