Smooth Operator: Skin Milk Shave Milk

Oh, hi! I'm still dealing with a horrific cold (PS, it's my second in 3 months... what is that about) but I managed to have a good weekend anyway. I took a lot of Nyquil, saw an off broadway play called Queens Boulevard, celeb-spotted Michael Kors (!) in front of the Regal Cinema in Union Square (thanks, L!), went to Mercbar for my friend Emily's birthday bash, and saw P.S. I Love You with Lauren (I found it pretty cheesy with a grandiose soundtrack that didn't go with the movie. But do see it for an appearance by the dude who played Denny in Grey's Anatomy- He has an Irish ACCENT in it).

Oh, and my countdown has officially started: only 25 days till LOST!

Back to the subject at hand. I am loving this shaving cream for its moisturizing properties. AND it gives me a close shave.

Skin Milk Shaving Milk's creamy texture is neither too thick nor too thin and has a pleasant fresh milk and vanilla scent. It seems to give me an extra layer of protection while still giving me a close shave and, major points, it doesn’t clog my razor. I haven't had any nicks or cuts while still getting a very close shave and my legs are left comfortably moisturized. My post shaving lotion - this week, it's Vanilla Spice Body Butter by Body Shop - even works better when I use this shaving cream. This luxurious cream even has 5% real milk protein plus vitamins A, D, and E to leave your skin hydrated.

At $5.59, your wallet will love it just as much as your legs do.

Another thing my legs love? My new Sorel boots that arrived on Friday. I loathe Uggs with the intensity of a thousand suns, and my pair of Emus I'd been rocking since 04 were not in good shape. I tried these Sorel boots on while I was in Philly over Christmas and feel in LURVE. They're so comfy with soles that rival sneakers' bounce and are warm as HECK. Plus, I think they're super cute. I rocked them today with my sweatsuit alternative (as Tim Gunn says on Tim Gunn's Guide to Style) I like to wear on Sundays.
