A Day At The Races

Earrings // Clutch // Hat // Dress // Heels

There is nothing that makes you feel more southern and preppy than the Kentucky Derby. Chris and I were supposed to head to Houston to celebrate the race with our friends (including a stick horse race around the cul-de-sac), but someone (cough, cough Chris) forgot that he actually has to leave town this weekend for work, so I am now just dreaming of what I would wear to the party. 
I had actually been planning my outfit for quite sometime and I am sad that I now don't have an excuse to buy this Lilly dress. I mean, we do have about a million weddings to attend this summer soooo....
Anyways, I love the fashion that comes along with the race and I was really looking forward to wearing an outrageous hat. Oh well, maybe next year. 
As far as this year goes, there is actually something even better than a dress that you will only wear a couple times. What is it you might ask? The chance to win toilet paper for a year! 
The Cottonelle Great Finish Sweepstakes is a giveaway that will reward Americans with a year supply of Cottonelle products should the No. 1 and No. 2 positioned racehorses place in that order during the Kentucky Derby. 
People looking to get in on the action can sign up at the Cottonelle website. The first 15,000 entrants to sign up will be awarded a year’s supply of Cottonelle toilet paper and flushable cleansing cloths if the outcome aligns.

Double The Pleasure, Double The Flatbread?

So, last Thursday, I loaded up during my super long (sarcastic) lunch break and headed over to Wendy's to get in on this flatbread action everyone has been talking about. I decided on the Asiago Ranch Flatbread. 
I got back to school, sat down, ate my flatbread, and made my lovely 15 second Instagram video. Then I waited...and waited...and waited for it to load. Fail. Fail. Fail. All day long. Finally, I just gave up and realized it was a lost cause.

Fast forward to today, when I decided to get in on this action all over again. After a morning full of errands and grocery shopping, I was in dire need of some grub.
Off to Wendy's I went again and this time I tried the Smoky Honey Mustard Chicken Flatbread. It was delicious and much different than the Asiago Ranch Flatbread. The Asiago Ranch Flatbread was packed with ranch and bacon, while this one was more on the "lighter" side. It was fantastic!

Next time you are out and about and want a light, delicious sandwich, try a Wendy's flatbread! From now until September 28th, you can win $6,000 by creating a six second video of you and your flatbread sandwich. Post it on Instagram, or Vine, with the hashtags #6secondsflat and #tuckerup to enter your video. For all the delicious details, click here.

Happy Saturday!

Let's Talk Tampons - {Sponsored Post}

Tampons. Yes, this is a post on something that pertains to all women. I write about fashion, DIY projects, and family, but this might be my first post that every single girl can relate to. Men, I am warning you now...today's post is not for you. Sorry!

I don't know about you ladies, but going on about your day as if you aren't on your period is a sometimes as hard as walking on nails. Enter U by Kotex.

I got asked to try out U by Kotex and, now, that time of the month isn't so bad anymore. I admit, I was thinking, "How can one tampon really be that much better?" 

Let's get into the details, shall we? 

U by Kotex has this awesomely designed tampon with a gripper for easy use. Ladies, you know what I am talking about when I say these little things aren't always the easiest to manage. But this one, you just easily rip the top of the package off and wham, there she is, gripper and all.

Do you see that flower? Well, that flower is positioned in the middle of a tampon gripper. Giggle all you want, but I never realized how different designs of tampons actually made a difference. These specially designed grippers make for one quick and easy trip the the restroom. You think I am crazy? I dare you to try out these for yourself! 

Aside from the fact that the protection is perfect, I love that I never feel like I have a tampon in. I can just go on about my day and not have to worry about my period, period. U by Kotex is full sized and easy to hold for "just right" placement, as well as slim size for comfort. They are available in Regular, Super, and Super Plus.  

Over the Fourth of July Mother Nature decided to pay me a visit. But, with U by Kotex I was able to swim, play games, and go on about my holiday as if that dreaded 'time of the month' wasn't even present.
