about

I'm a mother of 2 boys who are 13 months apart. Talk about a handful. I'm a wife to the best husband I could have ever dreamed of.
I'm one of the very blessed.


I have Bipolar 1 Disorder. I hate taking all these medications and always going to doctors appointments, but life is too short to let mental illness get the better of me.


Often times life is a challenge, and nobody knows that better than me. I wake up wondering if this is going to be a day my illness overpowers my meds, and either sends me flying like a bat out of hell, or leaves me laying on the couch like a wet dish rag.


Thank all that is good in the world that I have an excellent support system at home.
I'm one of the lucky ones.


I'm honest, and that can either be a perk or s flaw. Depends on how you choose to look at it.
I like to see it as a perk, because it's better to hear the truth than to be told candy coated bullshit.

No matter what brand of shaving cream I use the end result is the same. It burns and itches like hell while it's on my face and leaves my face red afterward. I know I must be allergic to a common ingredient in it but I'm not sure what.

Do you have any suggestions for what products I should use? Better yet any idea of what is in most shaving creams that could do this to my face?

I have a couple of suggestions for you.

1- Use an electric razor. No creams involved.

2- Though it may sound silly, use conditioner rather than a cream. (Yes, the conditioner that partners with shampoo...) It will prevent razor burn and moisturize your skin.

(Rating: 5) Thanks. I'm pretty bad (coordination) with both an electric razor and a regular one. That's why it takes so long and my face burns. I'll try the conditioner.
