‘Tis almost the season for short shorts and mini skirts; have you started making the necessary preparations? We have, with Schick Hydro Silk®! While giving you a super close shave, the razor helps replenish moisture with water-activated moisturizing serum, protecting against irritation and leaving skin feeling so smooth. Aaaaand, we especially love the unique skin guards that protect against irritation, because let’s face it: we’re a clutzy bunch, and who wants to start the summer looking like your legs lost a fight with a particularly violent squirrel?

But Schick is about more than smooth legs. They’re also about celebrating strong, hardworking, inspiring women… sound familiar? It’s you! Or your mom, sister, pal… you get it! A woman who takes strides big and small, and recognizes the importance of finding time for personal growth. In recognition of these special ladies, Schick Hydro Silk is inviting Canadians to showcase the heroines in their lives in an online Facebook gallery called “Taking Strides, Sharing Stories,” starting May 22.

Who inspires YOU? Your BFF? A beloved teacher or mentor? What daily strides do you take to make the world a better place? Post a pic or story, share with your social networks, and encourage your pals to do the same. It’s so important to take a moment to celebrate acts of kindness, leadership, and any and all kinds of amazingness. Gratitude is greatitude, y’all. Plus, by sharing your story, you’ll be helping the community in a BIG way. For every post uploaded, $1.00 will be donated to a Women’s Mental Health Program.

We’ll be chatting about all this and more on May 29 during our Twitter Party. You should totally come! Did we mention that there will be prizes? Seven in fact! We’ll be gifting six Twitter partygoers with a sweet beach kit, including a razor, beach tote, towel and more! And one EXTRA lucky partygoer will score the grand prize valued at $250! What’s in it? You’ll have to come party with us to find out!

Helping those in need, winning wicked prizes, and celebrating strong, amazing women in our lives– what could be better? Join the party on Thursday May 29, 9–10pm ET.
