Life happens in an instant. Be smooth in a snap. Who doesn’t know this feeling when you would love to be spontaneously and realize that you forgot to shave your legs, armpits or some other body areas?!
Here is the solution! Finally there is the first ever portable razor from Gillette. Experience instant smoothness on-the-go with five curve-hugging blades and you’ll be ready for anything, anytime, anywhere. It’s the perfect match for anyone with a busy and active lifestyle.
This portable, stylish compact conveniently tucks into any bag for the freedom to be spontaneous with silky-smooth skin anytime, anywhere. Just wet the razor and you are ready to go!
How many times have I realized that I forgot to shave an area at my leg or missed a few hairs on my arms. Yes, I also shave my arms! I just dislike hair on a woman’s body and funnily enough when it comes to men, I am the opposite, they cannot have enough hair for me.
Great news is that five of you can win a Gillette Venus Snap. To participate in the contest, please send me an e-mail with your postal address and the header “Gillette Venus Snap” to and share your “Snap needed” moment, a little story when you would have appreciated having a portable shaver with you.

On Monday morning, I boarded Etihad Airways flight EY47 to Abu Dhabi. When I left, I enjoyed a spectacular view over Zurich. The time flew, due to strong winds, we arrived one hour ahead of time. The service on board was great and I can absolutely recommend this luxurious airline.
As my avid readers know, the reason why I am here is the amazing contest that all of you were able to enter in the beginning of February (for the previous post click here please).
I would like to thank everyone who participated. It was really tough for the Etihad team to choose the winner.
Here she is, congrats to Nadya Toncheva from Hamburg, who posted this beautiful entry. I am looking forward to meeting you today and to taking you for a serious shopping spree!
We are staying at the Yas Viceroy hotel that I can absolutely recommend. The rooms are big, the interior of the hotel is stylish and its seven restaurants offer everything a gourmet’s heart would ask for.
Yesterday, I met my friend Catherine Sarr who lives between London and Abu Dhabi. She has just launched her jewelry collection Almasika Fine Jewellery (the golden bangles at my wrist) that can be found already at Colette and soon in Zurich at Meister.
Catherine took me to the Saddiyat Beach Club, a great place to chill when you are in the area.
I am wishing you a lovely day! I am off shopping at the Galleria at Mariyah Island in Abu Dhabi… Nadya, get ready to get a new closet with Sandra’s Closet! It will also be featured in L’Officiel Switzerland.
