Tie One Off Father’s Day Set From Votre Vu
18Jun10
Post by Mike Twombly
Every year, the weeks leading up to Father’s Day are the same. You struggle with what to buy him, and eventually just break down and ask. But if your father is anything like mine, he’ll probably tell you he doesn’t need anything that badly, and that anything you can come up with will be fine. One suggestion to save yourself that headache is to get him something that he wouldn’t normally choose for himself – especially something that will be an upgrade to some of the things he already uses everyday. That’s just what Votre Vu had in mind with their ‘Tie One Off‘ Father’s Day Set.
The set features four different products, all designed to indulge your dad and help him look his best. Let’s start with the Ten Gauge energy shot – a fresh and flavorful juice drink for the morning, after work or the gym. Amazingly, in only 30 calories they packed in many all natural healthy supplements including B Vitamins, Selenium, Yerba Mate extract and Sea Buckthorn. This blend will both energize dad and help maintain his virility, something he wouldn’t be celebrating Father’s Day without! *cringe*
Most Dads love simplicity, and a product like Votre Vu’s ‘Formula 1 Hair, Face, and Body Wash’ (3.0 fl. oz) will definitely please even the more

Whish it Away
5Feb10
What do the heroines of the hit series “24” and I have in common? When it comes to shaving products, Whish products are at the top of our list. In a recent letter to Whish, the ladies from the cast wrote, “We love the fact that Whish has taken extra special measures to develop these heavenly scented paraben-free, sulfate-free, and petrochemical-free, all-natural and organic-based shave creams that leave our legs feeling so soft and silky.”
My latest Whish obsession is their Flawless Ingrown Hair Serum (although I think it needs a new name since it’s so much more then just an ‘ingrown hair serum’). It helps calm inflammation from areas prone to bumps and irritation thanks to it’s key ingredients, wheat germ (to restore and soothe skin), yeast extract (for it’s regenerative properties), and willow bark extract (which fights against inflammation).
Use after shaving, waxing, or laser, Whish Flawless is a clear serum with a smooth application, and absorbs right into the skin, leaving no residue or marks on clothing.
I first used a sample of this product while traveling to the Dominican Republic last year. I fell victim to a cheap disposable razor and then jumped into the ocean—Oh the burn! Whish Flawless Serum instantly soothed my skin and more

On My Whish List

Whish products are for any girl who wants to be pampered and expects more out of shaving then a dull razor and a bar of soap. This 3-piece set of pomegranate body wash, shave cream, and body butter, is travel friendly (products are TSA approved sizes) and an worthwhile way to become familiar with the line. Priced at $20, it makes a great secret Santa or stocking stuffer for any lady on your list.
Pomegranate Whish Essential Set includes:
• 1.2 oz. Pomegranate Body Wash
• 1.2 oz. Pomegranate Shave Cream
• 1.2 oz. Pomegranate Body Butter
• Reusable clear plastic case
This collection cleanses and moisturizes for a clean shave that won’t dry your skin. Scented with pomegranate, the routine finishes with Whishes non-greasy body butter, formulated with shea butter and aloe to hydrate, and seaweed extract, to restore lost collagen and leave skin smooth.
Whish products are made with all natural and organic ingredients, and contain no more
