Get Your Boost On!

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Boost Mobile. All opinions are 100% mine.


Hey guys!  I am sure you have heard about Boost Mobile on various television ads, etc. But, did you know how flexible their payment options are?  I didn't and was shocked to find out!  With Boost Mobile You can use your debit or credit card to make a payment, or you can sign-up for worry-free automatic payments (so convenient, right?) Also, Boost Mobile currently offers Re-Boost .  This is a method of adding funds to your Boost account. This is a really great idea for teaching teens how to budget while keeping track of your own finances!  Boost mobile phones are MADE for social people like me!  So, whether you're addicted to twitter or a Facebook fanatic you can rest assured you will always be in the know with Boost Mobile.  Boost Mobile has great plans for everyone! They have Blackberry for us business folks and the latest to date in technology for the gadget lovers!  I really am constantly on the go and love that Boost Mobile offers affordable (especially in this economy), practical (I couldn't live without a smart phone!), and tech-savvy solutions in this crazy age of data! Boost or bust!

Tria Laser Review - After 4 Treatments with 5 Setting Device

I was very excited to receive the Tria Laser because I'm so tired of having to spend money every three weeks to be waxed. If I don't want to spend the money, I have to shave every day. Sometimes I get ingrown hair and I would rather wear pants and a t-shirt during the summer rather than be embarrassed about the unsightly red bumps!


After opening the package, I thoroughly read all the directions. I charged the unit and used the skin sensor to make sure I was able to safely use the laser with my skin tone. The sensor will turn red if it's not safe to use. I saw green and went on line to activate the unit. I used the laser on the inside of my arm to make sure I did not have any reactions to the treatment. After three days I was sure I was ready to safely go hair free.

Zapping Away

I chose to use the laser on my left underarm first. I wanted to do one arm so I could actually see and experience the difference. First I took a nice warm shower and shaved my left and right underarms. After I finished showering, I dried my pits and let them air out for a few before I began my treatment. Somehow, I didn't think a wet pit and laser mixed.
I sat down in front of a mirror and began my treatment. I chose to start at level one on the unit. It's very easy to use. I placed the unit on my armpit and waited for a beep. Once I heard it, I moved the unit so I would overlap the area I just did. There were a few spots that I heard a buzzing sound so I readjusted the device to sit flat along my skin and that did the trick.

Pain and Treatment Time

I didn't feel much during the treatment. At the beginning, the sound startled me but I didn't feel anything. The other benefit was it did not hurt at all. I tried the five different levels and as I went up, I felt more discomfort. Level five was the worst. It felt like a hot rubber band snapping against my skin. It was a little painful, but more irritating than anything.
The subsequent times I have used the unit, I have been using the level three setting. I felt a little bit of discomfort but it was very tolerable. I have completed four treatments and haven't had to recharge the unit yet!
The total time it took me was 12 minutes for one underarm. That was shorter than driving to the salon and getting waxed!

Seeing Hair Reducing Results

After the second treatment, I noticed that it was taking a long time for the hair to grow back. It was growing much slower than my right arm and it was much sparser. I also noticed that the hair was not as coarse as my right arm. The fourth treatment was more of the same. If I had to estimate, there seems to be about a 70% in hair reduction two weeks after my fourth treatment.
So far I'm very happy with Tria Laser. It's very easy to use and it seems to be doing the job. I'm going to give it a couple of more treatments to see if I am completely satisfied with the outcome. I think I'm going to move to the other armpit. It's a bit embarrassing having one arm that is virtually hair free and the other that always seems to have a five o'clock shadow!

My mother told me
'Fore she passed away
Said when I'm gone
Don't forget to pray

'Cause there'll be hard times
Lord those hard times
Who knows better than I?

Well I soon found out
Just what she meant
When I had to pawn my clothes
Just to pay the rent

Talkin' 'bout hard times
Lord those hard times
Who knows better than I?

I had a man
Who was always around
But when I lost my money
He put me down

Talkin' 'bout hard times
Hard times
Yeah, yeah, who knows better than I?

Lord, one of these days
There'll be no more sorrow
When I pass away

And no more hard times
No more hard times
Yeah, yeah, who knows better than I?

I'm Not Sick, But I'm Not Well...
