Today I Tried the DivaCup
I’ve wondered about the DivaCup for a while, but I just assumed it wasn’t for me. After 10 days of a very heavy flow period, I decided I’ve had enough with the pads. Today would be the day I would go out and buy a DivaCup. So I took a ride to my local Walmart, and headed for the feminine care aisle. I admit it took me awhile to find it among the rest of the pads and tampons, but viola I found it.

#MeToo
No child is born bad, they just imitate their atmosphere. Yelling, pushing, screaming, fighting. All things you want to prevent your child from being exposed to. Yet when that's all a household does, it seems ineffable to even try to shield them from their surroundings.

It's Okay to Be Feminine

Equal Work for Equal Pay 2018
Women earn 80 cents for every man’s $1.00. This is still true in 2018. We are 200 years away from pay equality here. When women start complaining more about the pay gap is when we find that it can equalize. This is constant discrimination that women face daily in the workplace. When I started working, I became very aware of this discriminatory process. Pay disparity is everywhere around us, dependent on what career a person is working in. Women like E! News host Cat Sadler are becoming more aware of this gap every day because she left the network due to a pay gap she noticed between herself and her male co-host.

Why I Love Old Navy
I first went into an Old Navy store when I was fourteen years old and in the eighth grade. I remember it so clearly because it was one of the most enjoyable days ever. My mom took me there and it was a fairly new store. I've been an Old Navy fan ever since. I even worked at Gap, their affiliate store, in high school. Most of my paycheck went back into the store with all the clothes I bought there with my employee discount. My closet currently is about 85% Old Navy apparel. Their pieces are timeless and for all ages. I'm a pretty simple late 30s aged mom; I don't go for fancy and expensive clothing. I have two kids, thus a leftover lower belly and curves. Their clothes, especially bottoms, are very flattering for my body type. My style is trendy comfortable, too. Nothing crazy and confining. With my Old Navy credit card and being a loyal, longtime shopper, I receive major reward certificates online. Their web site frequently has fantastic sales and promotions too. Check out RetailMeNot for online and store coupons and coupon codes. I love when their Stuff a Bag sale comes around too! Their clothes are usually true to size, comfortable, flattering, and come in great prints and colors. In the past several years, I have only returned one item I purchased online. All their items are top quality, wash well, and last for years.
