Book Review: The First Ladies by Marie Benedict and Victoria Christopher Murray

Image
The First Ladies by Marie Benedict and Victoria Christopher Murray is a historical fiction novel that spans many years and tells of the friendship between former first lady Eleanor Roosevelt and civil rights activist Mary McLeod Bethune. I don't know if I would have picked up this book if it hadn't been the August selection for one of the book clubs I belong to in my area because I don't read a lot of historical fiction. However, I am so glad that I read it and was able to learn many things I hadn't learned about in any of my history classes.  I don't recall learning anything about Mary McLeod Bethune, and she is an important part of American history. The things she helped spearhead to provide African American people equal rights is quite impressive. One of the things I was horrified to learn about is Franklin D. Roosevelt's resistance to stop lynchings because he was afraid of losing the Southern Democrats backing for his New Deal Bill. Another thing that I fo...

Product Review: Schick Intuition Lemon Berry Breeze Razor

Product Review Schick Intuition Lemon Berry Breeze Razor - Influenster 2
I received the Schick Intuition Lemon Berry Breeze Razor from Influenster.com and Schick Intuition for free in exchange for my honest opinion. When I learned I was receiving this product, I was excited to test it out and couldn't wait for it to come.

The product arrived at my house on Saturday afternoon, but I had just shaved the night before, so I had to wait a couple days before I could test out the Schick Intuition Lemon Berry Breeze Razor. When I finally was able to test it out, I didn't read the instructions, so I lathered up my right leg with soap and water and began shaving. 
 
At first, I was a little apprehensive because I tend to nick myself while trying out new razors, but surprisingly, I didn't nick myself. When I realized I didn't need to lather up with soap or shaving cream, I tried the razor out on my left leg and was surprised to see all the lather coming from the razor. It was a pleasant surprise. The only complaint I have about this razor when it comes to shaving my legs is that it didn't provide a close enough shave and left my legs feeling a little stubbly.
Product Review Schick Intuition Lemon Berry Breeze Razor - Influenster 4

Next, I used it to shave my underarms. I did make sure to wash off my deodorant before using the Schick Intuition Lemon Berry Breeze Razor, and it did extremely well. Normally, I'm left with razor burn or bumps in my underarms but that wasn't the case with this Schick Intuition Razor. My armpits were as smooth as a baby's bottom. Unlike my legs, my underarms got a close shave and were not stubbly.

The final area I used the Schick Intuition Lemon Berry Breeze Razor was my bikini area. My skin in this area is very sensitive, and I'm usually left with razor burn and/or unsightly bumps. With this Schick Intuition Razor, my skin was left smooth with no bumps. I was completely surprised by this in a very good way. 

Pros: No need for shaving cream or soap. No bumps in my bikini area. No nicks on my legs, underarms, or bikini area.

Cons: The razor is a bit cumbersome. Left my legs feeling a little stubbly.

Final Thoughts: Perfect for the more sensitive areas like my underarms and bikini areas but doesn't provide a close enough shave for my legs. With that being said, I'd definitely buy the Schick Intuition Lemon Berry Breeze Razor to shave my bikini area and underarms. Four out of five stars.

Book Review: The Dare by Natasha Preston

The Dare by Natasha Preston is a young adult horror novel about Marley and her friends Atlas, Lucia, and Jesse are seniors in high school.  The senior pranks are fun and lighthearted until Rhett starts doling out dares that are more serious.  Will Marley and her friends survive? A huge thank you to NetGalley for the Advanced Readers Copy of The Dare  by Natasha Preston.  The last book I read by this author was so well written, I knew I wanted to give her latest story a try. The first thing I noticed about the story is it's reminiscent of R.L. Stine's Fear Street series, which brought back all the feels from my childhood.  Pretty quickly, the storyline shifts and is eerily similar to the movie I Know What You Did Last Summer .  It's at this point that I became disappointed with the book and almost stopped reading it.   Additionally, there were other parts t hat reminded me of The Secret Diaries by Janice Harrell.  So, overall, The Dare wasn't ...

Book Review: Dirty Thirty (Stephanie Plum, #30) by Janet Evanovich

Book Review: Dirty Thirty (Stephanie Plum, #30) by Janet Evanovich Dirty Thirty (Stephanie Plum, #30) by Janet Evanovich  is the latest installment in the Stephanie Plum book series and opens with Joe Morelli asking Stephanie to dog sit his dog Bob while he is out of town testifying at a trial.  The typical chaos ensues when Stephanie has to bring Bob along to apprehend all of her FTAs and has her asking herself if she wants to be married. Each book in this series typically follows the same formula and is wrapped up in a neat, tidy bow at the end.  It's because of this that I enjoy the series . . . I always know that Stephanie is going to get herself into some sort of trouble and need Ranger or Morelli to help her, and the bad guy is always caught.  Sometimes, I just need something familiar and predictable to read.  And, I don't mean that in a bad way either because it allows me to escape reality and gives me a few chuckles along the way.  It's like the ...

The Business Trip by Jessie Garcia is about two women from Madison who are completely different from one another and are on an airplane bound for Denver, Colorado. Jasmine is a waitress and is escaping an abusive relationship. Stephanie is a news director for a local news station headed to a news conference. Friends and family of both women receive texts that they've met a man named Trent. Then, both women disappear. Panic starts to set in with loved ones. Who is Trent, and what has he done to them? I'd like to thank NetGalley for the Advanced Readers Copy (ARC) that they sent to me for free in exchange for my honest review. The synopsis of The Business Trip intrigued me, and I was excited to dive into the book. The story hooked me from the very beginning. I was rooting for Jasmine to escape her boyfriend and live happily ever after. I was also rooting for Stephanie to find the happiness she was looking for. Then, the book took a very disturbing turn, and I ended up loathing J...
