I’ve mentioned a couple times on the blog just how crazy some of my weeks can be. My hours of work aren’t necessarily horrible, but since my hours can be all over the place I typically will leave the house at 7:00 am and won’t return until late at night.

This requires a lot of preparation ahead of time to make sure I can fit everything in throughout the day.

One thing that I’m sure all of you know that must be fit in each day is my run/time at the gym.  I don’t care what my schedule is I try to always find at least somewhere in my day I can fit that in.

I end up packing up a gym back the night before and putting just about everything I can think of for the next day so I don’t forget anything. It’s important to me that I am always prepared.

For us girls, you know that means you always have to have some extra protection just in case.

I picked up some U by Kotex Sleek Tampons and Cleanwear pads last week to restock while I was at Walmart.

Aside from their already everyday low prices that we hear of quite frequently, U by Kotex is teaming up with Goody’s to provide 3 bonus Goody’s hair elastics in select Walmart stores, while supplies last.

I have to say you can never go wrong with having too many hair ties. As quickly as I lose them I was happy to stock up!

Is it just me or have these come a LONG way in terms of what they look like over the past 3 years?

Who knew that tampons and pads could be so “pretty”?!

As a runner and who is constantly moving I really do appreciate a high quality brand that makes sure you are protected no matter what activity you are doing.  The bonus elastics are a big plus too!
