You know Stacey? She's a bitch...

*Disclaimer! I know it's not related to beauty but I feel that it really needs to be addressed*

You bitch.

As women, this is a statement that we hear often - friends, ex-boyfriends, people we turn down, even from ourselves.
It is used as a joke, a term of endearment, an insult, an attack.

We let ourselves be compared to animals and think nothing of it.

Men, young and old, are told that it's OK to do this: 'Got 99 problems and a bitch ain't one', 'Baddest Bitch', 'Cold Hard Bitch', this list goes on. We hear Nicki Minaj calling other women 'skinny bitches', as if being thin automatically makes you less, or worse, of a person.
When a woman rejects a man, the first word he'll fling back at her is 'bitch', throwing it like a dagger.
In sex, talking dirty is often comprised of a man calling his partner a bitch.
I'll often hear women calling their friends bitches, endearingly. How has this word become so engrained in our social lexicon that we think that 'bitch' is a positive word.

All of this tells our brothers, fathers, boyfriends, and sons that it's socially acceptable, that it's OK to refer to their mothers and girlfriend's as a dog.

Is it?

Moisturise Me

I don't know about anyone else, but I'm really, seriously, super lazy about moisteurising. I never do it, and I mean never. When I get out of the shower, I don't want to mess around with sticky liquids, I want to snuggle into my pyjamas - I'm always wary of people who take the time to moisturise their legs, let alone their whole body!

However, this all changed very recently. I went to LA to see my family and I just knew that if I didn't moisturise my legs, the heat would mean that they would dry out and bleed when I shaved (it's never fun to look down and see that your legs look like a scene from Sweeney Todd). I ran along to Boots before I left and grabbed the first moisturiser I saw. The shaving gods must have been smiling down upon me that day, because the product I picked up was the Vaseline Spray and Go moisturiser.

This is unlike any product of its kind that I've ever tried before (although admittedly it hasn't been that many because of my self-proclaimed laziness). Instead of being in a tube, this moisturiser comes out of a pressurised spray can, in the same form as a deodorant. This means that it is easy to direct and control, and you don't have the issue of having too much moisturiser, not knowing what to do with it, and awkwardly wiping it on the bed...

This product itself is a great consistency - it is a liquid, but it  isn't too runny. It is extremely moisturising, and a little goes a long way here. Another positive to this product is that it's not sticky! Or oily! yay! It gives your skin a sheen, but it doesn't make it look as if you've taken another shower, and it doesn't leave your hands greasy either.

All in all, this might actually make me want to start moisturising after my showers...
