I was given a chance from BzzAgent to test out the new women's Schick Hyrdo Razor! I love how great it made my legs feel after shaving. What made my legs feel so silky smooth? Each Schick Hyrdo Blade has a bunch of gel inserts at the top and bottom of the blades which all you have to do when taking a shower is wet and shave! Yes that's all pick up the Schick Hyrdo Razor wet it and start shaving.........no more soap, no more shaving cream just wet and go!
I love that it cut my shaving time in half. When you're a mom of 5 you don't have time to relax and take long in the shower so this was a great addition to my routine and now i have silky soft legs more often than not.
You can purchase your own Schick Hyrdo Razor at most major retail stores. Don't waste one more minute on your legs. Go get one today.

Looking for a great place to stay in while visiting Orlando, FL? Check out Nickeloden Suites Hotel!
This is unlike any other hotel you have ever been to. What makes it different?
Lets start with the rooms. Every room is a suite so this means you have space! I was able to have my husband and 5 kids in one room while staying at the hotel.
The Master room was a nice full size bed with 2 end tables on either end along with a 27" LCD tv.
The children's room had an awesome mural of Spongebob SquarePants, Sandy and Squidward with 2 single beds. The rest of the room was a small kitchen, which has a microwave, mini fridge and sink, dinning table with 2 chairs, fold out couch, rocker chair, 32" LCD tv, and a small side table.
I ordered a crib for our room which they brought and I placed at the bottom of my sons bed.
We all slept great. It was me and my husband in the master, Joshua and Elizabeth in the singles, Sarah in the crib and the boys Michael and Brian on the pull out (which was awesome for them they have never seen one) so it was a perfect fit.
The bathroom was nice and roomy. It comes with 6 full size fluffy towels, shampoo, conditioner, facial soap, soap, blow dryer, and make up mirror.
The rooms were great and on top of the big tv's, the kids room is set to only a few select family friendly tv channels, the other tv's you could call room service, get to know the hotel, and go online. How very cool.
Now onto the hotel. The best day to truly enjoy the hotel is on a Saturday, they have so many activities that you can stay all day and not get bored.
You can meet all kinds of your favorite characters from Nick Jr like, the Rugrats, SpongeBob, TMNT, Dora and more. My kids and I went to meet Dora and Spongebob which they were overly trilled to see. On top of meeting the real characters they have still figures around the mall where you can take pic. We got to take pics in the "Thinking Chair" from Blues Clues along with Dora and then they had Spongebob, Patrick and Tommy and Chucky from the Rugrats out in the water.
The Nickeloden Suites Resort Hotel has a mall which has all kinds of things inside. You have a full bar which is open til 9 on weekdays and 11 on weekends. The hotel buffet, the meet and greet pizza restaurant, Subway, Antonio's Pizza, an ice cream shop. Also, a store which has all the must haves, along with snacks, a full arcade with games and prizes. Online station which has a bunch of spots to go online if you wish, Guest Services, Kids Spa, Nick stage, and finally a theater!
The theater is full size and shows 4D movies featuring all of your favorite Nickelodeon Characters. I was not able to do this as it's a additional charge, but I know someone who saw the shows and they really liked it. You can purchase a wristband at check in which allows you to view unlimited movies during your entire stay.
Now the soul of the hotel, The POOL. The pool is a huge area which gets up to 6ft deep, heated during the cooler months, it has a huge water slide tower which has 6, yes, 6 slides! Twice a day they dump the slime bucket. Before they dump the slime they let everyone know by setting off a siren which then is followed with a dance show and then a full slimming of the pool guests (don't worry its green water) so it comes off with a jump in the pool.
The massive pool area also has towel rentals free if returned by 9pm, a poolside bar, and grill with a separate dinning area, a kids splash pad, a caged basket ball area, 9 holes of mini golf, hot tub and plenty of seating for all.
Nickelodeon Suites Hotel is 5 mins from Disney, 15 from Universal, and 30 mins from Legoland its a great center point for any theme park lover!
We had a great time at the Nickeloden Suites Orlando, FL and would love to return to do all that we missed this round. 2 days was just not enough time to take in everything offered.

Green Meadows is a cute little farm tucked away off poinciana
blvd only 20 minutes from Walt Disney World. Green Meadows offers a
variety of animals that you can be hands on with. There are pigs, goats,
chickens, mini horses, turkeys, bunnies, peacocks, ducks, sheep and much much more.
While at Green Meadows you can take a hay ride, horse ride (little kids) and a train ride. During the seasons they have an Easter egg hunt in April (please
try and bring your own basket for the event) also during the spring they
have a butterfly garden, and butterlies are hatching almost daily! During the fall, there is a haunted house with 13 rooms of fun in
October as well as a FREE pumpkin from the pumpkin patch! During winter,
the they have a red Christmas barn and each child ages 12 months to 12
years gets a toy from Santa's sack.
I first had a chance to go to
Green Meadows Farm when i was in Kindergarten and i picked out the
biggest pumpkin i could carry; it was a great day for me. Now that my
children are in school i have been able to go with them as well. They
have peacocks that roam around freely and fan out showing off their
beautiful feathers, there are also farm dogs running around they're
super friendly. Green Meadows is open year round, it covered in huge oak
trees so shade is not an issue. When you pull into green meadows
parking is free and you're greeted with a guide who takes you to all the
animal areas where you learn a little about each animal, as well as pet
and some you even feed : ) The children seem to have the most fun catching chickens, milking a
cow and doing pony rides. Its a small town farm worth a trip if you
love animals and want do something different then a theme park, its a
great family activity that costs $23 each person ages 2 and up.

I have been and always will be a huge fan of Dunkin' Donuts! Why am I am fan? Well lets start price, it's like $2.50 for a large which is 32oz of iced coffee I don't see anything over 20oz at Starbucks and even their "venti" is about $5.
On top of being something everyone can afford you also have a huge menu to choose from. Not only does Dunkin' Donuts have coffee and donuts, they have sandwiches, bagels, wraps, frozen fruit drinks and more! Now showing up in Dunkin' Donuts are Conference room which have nice black office chairs great for any out of office meeting, you can find out which stores have a conference room by clicking here.
New for Valentines Day, Cupids Choice Donut filled with bavarian
cream and topped with sprinkles, and ready for this, a Brownie Batter filled Chocolate frosting Heart Shaped Donut! How great does that sound. I really enjoyed the Cupids Choice Donut it was wonderful I would love a dozen for Valentines Day! With a dozen donuts you cannot go wrong. There is plenty of selection at Dunkin' Donuts like Glazed, Chocolate Cake, Coconut Baked, Jelly Filled and more! Its a great idea for a Valentines Day check list.
Next you have your drinks, which like I said is not limited to just coffee. My personally favorite was the ice coffee lots of cream and sugar, but after getting to try new items that has changed! My favorite is the Dark Mocha Coolata it seriously taste like a Bailey's. On top of this totally awesome drink they have many other choices of Frozen drinks which include Strawberry, Orange Coolata, Vanilla, Mocha and so much more. For us living in Florida we all know we like cold things to beat the heat so why not stop in for a flavorful iced beverage.
When it does get cold out, coffee is a number one choice for a fast warm up or a pick me up. Dunkin' Donuts has a huge selection on how you can make that coffee taste just how you want. They have caramel, vanilla, mocha, and more to mix in your drink, which they make right in front of you. Did you know that on top of having coffee that's hot they also have Hot Chocolate! Wow I was in shock it was so good, the whip topping just put it over the top on being the best hot chocolate.
I love breakfast and hate that most places only serve it til about 10am which sorry I am not up and out yet so I miss out on breakfast often. Dunkin' Donuts helps me with my dilemma with having breakfast sandwiches served fresh all day long. They have all kinds of sandwiches even some for those who don't eat beef. I tried the Ham and Swiss on a bakery bun it was great. New to Dunkin' Donuts sandwiches is the Smoked Sausage Sandwich, a Texas Toast Grilled Cheese which is not 1 but 3 slices of cheese! Also New to Dunkin' Donuts is a chicken salad or tuna salad croissant, and coming soon they will have pepper eggs, and chicken salad or tuna wraps. All sandwiches can be made with the bread of choice if you want a sausage egg and cheese sandwich on Texas toast you can have it just ask.
For the month of February select sandwiches in the Central Fl area will be only $2.99! So stop by and try one today!
Local Readers, the Dunkin' Donuts the event was held at was at 8485
South Orange Blossom Trail which is right next to the Florida Mall. The
new location is AWESOME, it has free Wi-Fi, a Drive Through, Flat Screen
TV's inside the large seating area, and a conference room!
Don't have time to get out and visit a Dunkin' Donuts you can purchase their coffee at local retails and make it at home! They now carry K Cups of Caramel Coffee! A 14 count box can be purchased for only $11.99 that's less then a dollar a cup of coffee! Also check out Dunkin' Donuts newest App, where you can purchase coffee, send gifts, and more!
