For most of the summer I’ve had the pleasure of test driving several different cars. Hubs and I are not in the market for a new car, however we don’t mind test driving for future reference. Also since we were moving this summer, the cars I’ve been able to drive have been spacious enough for us to pack and load up during the move. Last week this cute red 2015 Mitsubishi Outlander SE S-AWC Premium was my companion. It was the perfect ride for everyday errands, last minute packing, and a few back and forth rides to D.C.

At first glace I was smitten with this cute car. Once I opened the doors and saw all the space, I was even more pleased. The last row of seats folds down to make for even more space, which came in very handy when we picked up our new bed-frame! I was also impressed with the sound-system and the Sirius radio capabilities. I went from The Heat to the Heart & Soul stations the entire time the car was in my possession.

Overall I had a good experience while driving the car, but I must be honest and say the car was not as smooth as the others I’ve driven this summer. I felt a lot of the bumps and turns on the highway while commuting. Hubby and little sis both agreed and while it wasn’t bad enough for me to stop driving the car, it was a bit disheartening. However the following additions (available when purchasing the SE S-AWC Premium) made up it for the bumps along the way:

power glass sunroof with tilt and slide function
leather seating surfaces
power driver’s seat with (back) seat pocket
wood grain interior trim panels

So tell me, have you ever driven the 2015 Mitsubishi Outlander SE S-AWC Premium? If not, what car do you currently drive? Let me know!

As always thanks for reading and commenting. I’ll be back with one more car review this month (next week). I have a car being sent for my Blogalicious trip this weekend, so be sure to look out for that recap and car review. Until next time, be blessed and be safe!

Let’s get a little personal, shall we? Ever since I was 11 years-old I’ve been a woman. Well, in the scientific sense of the word, it’s true. I was the only 5th grader with a purse full of feminine products. At the time, I thought it was the most dreadful thing EVER! As the years went on, preparing and carrying my feminine kit around was no big deal. But when I reached high school, things changed. My periods got worse, much heavier and I had a few embarrassing moments due to, well…”accidents”.

Once I entered my 20’s, it was almost unbearable. After several trips to the doctor, nights of moaning and curling up on the cold floor in a ball, rocking back and forth crying, I found out I suffered from extremely heavy periods and the doctor’s worried I’d have endometrioses. Thankfully, I didn’t and was finally able to get things under control, thanks to finally figuring out the right birth control method for my body. Now, my monthly cycle is a breeze and thanks to U by Kotex Curves® and U by Kotex® Lightdays Liners I don’t fear those accidents anymore!

Now that I’m surviving my cycle, I am beyond thrilled to have my life back. I always carry my feminine survival kit with me once a month; I even have one in my car and one at work. Being a woman is tough sometimes, but it’s also a blessing. When it comes to our time of the month, U by Kotex Curves® and U by Kotex® Lightdays Liners are a must have. Adding them to my survival kit has been a lifesaver. I feel comfortable wearing them and the price (between $5.99 and $7.99) is very reasonable. I feel protected during the days leading up to my cycle, as well as those 2 or 3 days after. They’re lightweight, not bulky, and can fit in your purse with so much ease.

I believe that as women, we’re equipped with an undeniable amount of strength. We deal with and take on so much and we always have to be prepared. So what’s in my Survival Cycle Kit?

1. U by Kotex Curves® and U by Kotex® Lightdays Liners

2. Chocolate (preferably Goobers)

3. Water

4. Fashion Magazines

5. Pain Meds (to cure the stomach, back, and pelvis pain)

So tell me, what’s in your cycle survival kit? Have you tried the new U by Kotex Curves® and U by Kotex® Lightdays Liners? Let me know!

As always, thanks for reading. I hope you have a wonderful weekend and if you’re in need of a few items for your Survival Kit, feel free to use my references above! For more Cycle Survival inspiration, check here. Until Monday, be blessed and stay safe…xo!
