Things to Do in Boise: Boise State Capitol

On Labor Day, we were able to visit Boise State Capitol. It was a fun and free activity. We walked in and grabbed a self-tour guide. The capitol was welcoming to visitors and fairly empty. The capitol is small compared to others, but has some interesting features and highlights. Highlights of the capitol include a carved wooden statue of George Washington painted in gold by Charles Ostner, the rotunda, replica of the Winged Victory of Samothrace, the senate wing, the house wing and a replica of the Liberty Bell in front of the capitol. We did a short walk through since I had my little one with me, but I would say you could tour the capitol on your own within an hour or two. The capitol grounds also have picnic tables so that you can enjoy a picnic on the grounds before or after your tour. To learn more about the capital, go here.

Skintimate Mandarin Burst Review

This month Skintimate sent me Mandarin Burst Shave Gel to review through Crowdtap. I have not used Skintimate since I was a teenager and was pleasantly surprised at how much easier it was to use than bar soap. I placed some gel on my legs, rubbed it in and was able to recognize the spots that needed shaving. This helped prevent me from missing spots and helped to keep my skin smooth. It also did not require a whole lot of gel to create foam. I think this is a definite must for preteen and teen girls learning to shave their legs.

Besides Mandarin Burst scent, Skintimate also offers: Raspberry Rain, Strawberry Tangerine Twist, Luscious Kiwi Splash, Tropical Splash, Skin Therapy for Dry Skin and Moisturizing Cream Shaves.

I would recommend that if you use a scented shave gel that you would coordinate it with your shampoos, soaps and lotions

Disclaimer: I received my Skintimate Mandarin Burst Shave Gel from Crowdtap for free for testing and review purposes in exchange of my opinion, which is reflected in this entry.
