Girls and Growing Up!

This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of Gillette Venus. The opinions and text are all mine.

Do you remember when you were like 12-13 years old and… things started to get a little awkward?? Did you talk to your mom about those things? Or did you go straight to your friends? Recently my 11 year asked if she could shave her legs. I didn’t know if she was ready but I was glad she took the initiative to ask and that she came to me about it. We talked it over and the reasons why and we decided that it was probably time… I want her to feel confident in her own skin and enjoy this process of growing up! And honestly, the timing couldn’t have been better because that’s when I was approached to partner with Gillette on this awesome Women’s Shave Club Campaign. I was a little skeptical but the thing that finally sealed the deal for me was my 2 daughters. They have absolutely loved this! And with two of us shaving,(soon to be 3) … this has been a life saver. I mean, the convenience alone has been 100% worth it. Oaks (and Londyn — who is just starting!!) have loved having these on hand!

So what is it exactly? It’s an automatic Venus Razor subscription where you can pick exactly the kind of razor you want. There are a few different handle options, multiple blade options and tons more. Plus, you get to decide when they auto-ship. But wanna know the best part, it is cheaper than driving to the store and grabbing a package of random razors. And hellllllo free delivery!

The ones that we ordered ended up being perfect for beginners! They are infused with white tea so no shaving cream is required, just a smooth shave! And because they are so high quality, it’ll last too!!

Basically — I’m a fan!! And the best part is that thanks to Venus razors and all the many options they offer, my daughters first shaving experience was a good one! But guys. Sometimes talking to your kiddos can be hard. Especially when it comes to the things that miiiight be a little awkward! That being said, having a good relationship with my kids is so important to me! I want them to know that our door is always open and that we can talk about anything!! Because I feel like if we have established a really solid relationship, that they will come and talk to me about those things…. or anything for that matter! In a world where there are so many different voices and opinions, I hope they know that the ones that truly matter are the ones that are closest to them! If you are ready to jump on this awesome service, head here! You won’t be disappointed!
