Knowing what is on your credit report is very important. It can affect not only the obvious things like obtaining credit cards but it can also affect your ability to obtain employment in many states. It is a good idea to check your report once per year to make sure all information is accurate and correct. This is the best way to guard against identity theft.

I am going to find my phone and call for my large print credit reports today. If you are visually impaired make sure you do this. Not only is it good for you, it shows these agencies that accessible information will be used by those who need it.

I was asked if I wanted to see a demonstration of the Smooooth Legs (or Smooth Away, same thing) system. I had been looking at it on TV trying to decide if it was worth ordering. I’m of a belief that if it’s too good true not to mess with it. But I let her test the Smooooth Legs device on my forearm. I was truly amazed at what happened next. There was no hair there and my arm was soft and didn’t feel super rough! The saleswoman showed me how to use the Smooth Legs bu running it clockwise then counterclockwise on my arm. She informed me that the Smooth Legs exfoliates as it removes the hair.
At that point I was sold! I hate shaving my legs! As a vision impaired woman I still haven’t found the razor that will shave closely without cutting the heck out of my legs. So I told the woman I would think about it and come back. I wanted to make sure that this thing didn’t just smash down the hair or something. I’m a true skeptic, what can I say?
So, after a nice lunch with Mom and some more shopping I decided that I was going to take the plunge. I bought the Smooooth Legs system that came with a big and small Smooooth Legs device and 5 of each size buffing papers in a little pink carrying case. When I purchased the Smooooth Legs the saleswoman informed me that i could use it on legs, under arms, eyebrows and other facial hair. I was a happy camper.
I got home and immediately wanted to try this out on my legs. Sure enough, it took the hair off my legs and left them feeling soft. I proceeded to try the device out on my under arm area like the saleswoman suggested. Not such a great feeling! I felt that it made my underarms sting and break out in a bit of red bumps. I decided that I was OK with just using it on my legs and using an electric razor on my underarms. I tried the saml one on my eyebrows too and wasn’t much of a fan.
The Smooooth Legs system is a great alternative to shaving your legs. Just be careful on what other areas you use it on. I’ll admit that my skin is pretty sensitive. If you don’t have super sensitive skin this could change the outcome of doing your underarms and face with the device.
I think it is a great tool for those with vision impairments that don’t want to hassle with shaving. Check it out and I’m sure you’ll be just as happy with it as I am. I think the coolest part is that you don’t have to buy it on TV anymore. It’s available at most drugstores! Go get one!
