Fathers Day Gift: Phillips Norelco Shaver 8800 #FathersDay

Disclosure: no formal compensation was received. A product was provided for review.

One of the things I love about my husband is his clean shaven face. I just love touching and feeling how smooth it is. The downside to it is that we spend a lot in razor blade refills and disposable razors.

We had tried a few of the electric razors but it wouldn’t get as close a shave as my husband would like.  The Phillips Norelco Shaver 8800, does give a really close shave and you can even use it with shaving cream.

Some key features:

  • Skin friendly precision trimmer features maneuverability, perfect for mustache and sideburns
  • Easy Grip handle and shape for close control
  • LED indicators inform you of a low battery, charging, cleaning, replacement head, and travel lock
  • Energy Star Qualified

This is great for everyday use. If you are at home, use it at your leisure and get that close personal shave. In a rush and late for work. Pack it in the travel case and bring along to work. Do a quick shave before heading into the office.

The first few times my husband tried the Phillips shaver he was unsure. It was different a little irritant on his skin. After about a week and a half, he got use to it and now he loves it. It’s easy and gives a close shave. Plus it has saved us a ton on Razor refills.

You can get the Phillips Norelco Shaver 8800 at Amazon and retailers nationwide for $249.99(MSRP)

Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey is the followup to Carl Sagan’s award winning series that explored the remarkable mysteries of the Cosmos and our place within it.

This new series is produced by Ann Druyan (Carl sagan’s Widow) and Seth MacFarlane. Yes, there is more to him then just funny hit animated shows.  The series is hosted by renowned astrophysicist Dr. Neil deGrasse Tyson.

Special Features:

  • The Cosmic Calendar
  • Cosmos: A spacetime Odyssey- The Voyage Continues
  • Celebrating Carl sagan: A Selection From The Library Of Congress Dedication.
  • Cosmos at Comic-Con 2013
  • Audio Commentary on Episode One: “Standing Up In The Milky Way”

*** My husband is a scientist and the biggest fan of Carl Sagan. He has followed his work since he was a teenager.  When Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey was announced to air on Fox my husband vowed to watch every episode and he has. Everything about the Cosmos Adventure is amazing, from the information, to the graphics. Th show actually makes you feel like your traveling through space.

Cosmos on Blu-ray was a gift my husband actually asked for. We have the original Cosmos Series with Carl sagan on dvd also, so it’s been great watching and comparing both.

You can pick up Cosmos: A space-time Odyssey on Blu-ray and DVD now at retailers nationwide for $29.99

Summer is here for some, but for us we still have a little more than 2 weeks of school. This summer for us will be full of playing at the park and trips to the beach.
I always make sure to pack snacks or if we will be gone all day, pack lunches. My kids love peanut butter and Jelly or taking carrot sticks and celery with peanut butter to dip.
I always run into problems putting peanut butter in containers. It gets stuck or my kids say it’s not fresh. The little single cups are perfect as they fit anywhere and stay fresh.

My kids love the little cups. They have been going through them like crazy and I have to keep running out and buying more. My kids can’t have them at school because some friends have peanut allergies. So when they get home from school they ask for peanut butter and crackers/veggies for snacks.

Will you be packing some Skippy Singles this summer?
