#CycleSurvival #CollectiveBias

Y'all ready for this? ;) 

I go back into to my class in a little over two weeks. This gives me a little bit of anxiety because, as a teacher, I hate to see summer coming to an end. Of course, I love to meet my new students, but the idea of "Back to School" makes me a little anxious. I am not ready to say goodbye to summer yet. 

"Cycle Survival" can sometimes not be the most fun thing in the world. Period symptoms are not very fun, I will tell you that much. But there are so many remedies nowadays that can help with this process, and for that, I am VERY grateful! I always keep a little basket of Survival Supplies for me (and for my girl students if they need!) just in case. Teaching 6th grade means you get to watch out for the girls in this manner! 

Sometimes it is challenging to deal with these side effects. Yet, there are also so many POSITIVE aspects of being a woman. I always remind myself how grateful I am for the opportunity to have things that help me every month, instead of just living in pain constantly. I am grateful that I can have supplies that make me feel more confident as I deal with this process every month! 

My Cycle Survival Supplies usually rotate in and out, but there are always three products that are constantly repeated: 

U by Kotex CleanWear® by U

BiC Shaving Products

EOS Lip Balm

The U by Kotex CleanWear® has protection, but it doesn't even feel like you are wearing anything, that is why I love them so much!! It has a 3d Capture so you don't have to deal with embarrassing period stories (Oh my…I can't even begin to tell you some of mine) while being very comfortable. 

I usually add in some Excedrin Migraine (because headaches and migraines always come during the special time of month) and a yummy treat. Pop Tarts are perfect to have in the basket in my classroom because I can warm them up in my faculty room. And is it just me or do we all need a little something sweet during those "sweet times." ;) 

I keep all of these products in a cute little basket in a cupboard in my classroom. It is the perfect little "Cycle Survival Kit" for me during the school day. I add in some tampons in case the girls need to use them as well. 

You can find these products in the "feminine care" aisle at your local Walgreens. 

You can find these two products in the "shaving" and "travel size" aisle at your local Walgreens. 

As of right now, if you buy $15 of participating U by Kotex / EOS / BIC products, you will receive 3,000 Balance Reward Points at Walgreens. I currently have ten dollars to spend at my local Walgreens because of my rewards points card!

Busy Being a Girl with Stayfree Ultra Thin Regular!

I think this one might just be for the ladies. No? Maybe?

Being a 6th grade teacher, I think I hear more about periods than I do about anything related to school, unfortunately. In fact, I have had girls asks for tampons on multiple occasions. Which, in all reality, I am totally okay with. I want my students to know that it is a normal part of a girls life and there is nothing to be ashamed of! 

As an adult women, I get that lovely "present" every month (hallelujah! No kids for me right now!) This can be quite annoying, especially in the summer, because we are everywhere in the summer. We travel through many states, take lots of road trips, go on lots of hikes, etc. I am so grateful that #collectivebias and #FreetoMove has introduced me to Ultra Thin Regular pads. They are the biggest lifesaver in the past little while in my life. 

This product is very usable, especially through those busy, hot summer days--even in the evening, when you are traveling! Ladies, you can do all of those awesome summer activities that you have want to do in the lovely sunshine. 

I have used these while doing the following activities. And so can you!! 

baseball games

Hiking in Zion's National Park.

Biking along the beach!

Have a busy, active summer? Pick these up today!!!

You can find these awesome products under the "Feminine Products" aisle at your local Walmart. It is located near deodorant, shampoo, and other health supplies.
