As you already know, I am an Always Ambassador. I have really enjoyed working with the brand as it has been one of my most meaningful partnerships. The reason for that is the Always and Tampax brands give back to the community in amazing ways. They are not just a company that sells products but they really try to make an impact in the lives of those in need. Last year, I was able to partner with Tampax to donate 40,000 tampons to an organization of my choice as seen in this post. I chose the Midnight Mission in Downtown LA’s Skid Row which has one of the highest homelessness rates in the country. This time around, I’m excited to share a new initiative from Always that is aiming to help #EndPeriodPoverty here in the US.

The Mission

The #EndPeriodPoverty mission is centered around this: nearly 1 in 5 American girls have either left school early or missed school entirely because of a lack of access to period products. This lack of access starts a vicious cycle: missing classes, getting behind in school work and missing out on activities, like sports and clubs. These activities help build her confidence and skills, and missing out can limit a girl’s potential and opportunities far beyond puberty.

This back-to-school season, Always wants to raise awareness about the lack of access to period products that is affecting millions of girls in the U.S., and take action to help #EndPeriodPoverty.

How We Can Help

Always is on a mission to help ensure no girl in the U.S. misses school and loses confidence because she doesn’t have access to period protection. To do so, they are targeting to donate an additional 15 million period products to Feeding America, a long-standing partner, through the organization’s school pantry program, which provides food, toiletries and personal care products to kids who are most in need. In addition, Always is also partnering with Amazon to make a bigger impact for girls this school year.

Every purchase of Always from July 29^th to September 8^th on Amazon will trigger an additional donation of period product to girls in need.

Donate Through Amazon

Confidence in women and girls is something that I’m passionate about. I know how much confidence in yourself can truly change the way you see the world and how you go through life. I would not be a fraction of what I am had I not had some confidence in myself so I want to get these girls off to a good start. Be sure to order your Always products from Amazon today using this link to support girls all over the country.

Shape My Infinity with Always

June 20, 2018

Sponsored by Always Infinity

I don’t think that it’s any secret that my life is pretty busy. Running a blog full time is essentially like running your own business. Not only are you the face of the business but you are also the creative director, the marketer, the accountant, editor and much more. As the popularity of my blog has grown, so have the responsibilities. On top of that, this has been a very unexpected journey in my life. Never did I think that I could make blogging my job until it just progressed into that. It’s a journey that I am forever grateful for but can be very overwhelming at times. I find myself just trying to keep up and learn as I go.

I say all that to point out that life has its unique twists and turns. You can have a plan and something can just come out of nowhere from a direction that you weren’t even looking in. In my case, that has been adjusting to becoming my own boss and figuring out the next step whatever that may be. So with everything on my plate, one thing that I don’t want to worry about is that time of the month.

I’ve shared on my blog and social media that I am an Always & Tampax ambassador and I thought that I knew a pretty good amount about period protection. That is until I visited the Proctor & Gamble headquarters in Cincinnati earlier this year. I not only learned about the technology behind the products (which is super fascinating by the way) but more importantly I realized that the core of these products is to enable us to live our full lives without hinderance. That’s it! Whether you are a business owner, a mom or a business owner and a mom, periods should not slow down your busy lives. Your feminine hygiene products should provide you with the protection you need to feel confident and keep doing the great things that you are doing. One of the products that I have become my go-to since being introduced on the trip is Always Infinity.

Always Infinity provides a Zero Feel experience. Yes you heard me right, Zero Feel. That’s because it’s made differently with its one-of-a-kind FlexFoam core. The ultra-light and form-fitting FlexFoam™ material molds to your body, so you’ll barely feel it. It’s also Always’ most absorbent, thin pad absorbing 10X its weight™. I’ll be honest, I was skeptical about how thin it is and its ability to absorb without leaks but that skepticism quickly went away after trying the product. I feel the ultimate protection and I am assured in knowing that this one area I can depend on.

Who knows what life’s next chapter hold for me? Girl boss? Entrepreneur? Designer? The sky is the limit! Whatever path I may go down, I know that I will dominate all aspects of my life, including my period and be able to #ShapeMyInfinity. Share what life changes you’re experiencing, big or small, and tag #ShapeMyInfinity for a chance to win a year’s supply of Always Infinity. In the meantime, shop these products at Walmart available here so that you can feel the difference for yourself. You will LOVE the results.

The entire mission and purpose of why I created TrendyCurvy is to show that you do not have to sacrifice style at any size. By showcasing my own fashion sense and how I make trends work for my body, I have strived to show that plus size women are not bound by limited options. Furthermore, we are not bound by so called “fashion rules” that are full of lists of what we should and should not wear. Who created those rules anyway?! Bright colors, stripes, bold prints and more are all on the “don’t” list for women my size so guess what? I’m throwing out the rule book and turning it into a “do.” Better yet, I’m turning it into an “absolutely do.” Plus size women, and really any woman for that matter, should have the ability to wear what she wants in a way that makes her feel confident and ready to take on the day. So, if my size shouldn’t limit my fashion choices, neither should that time of the month, right?

‘

I’m excited to introduce Tampax’s Pocket Radiant! This compact tampon can be stashed virtually anywhere freeing up your wardrobe and allowing you to wear whatever you want. No purse, no problem! This product is so compact that it can fit into your pockets or a small clutch. For someone like me that loves to play with different accessories to complement my ever-changing looks, this is ideal! The Tampax Pocket Radiant has quickly become my new go-to feminine care product. PLUS, they come in these fun-patterned, resealable wrappers that the Radiant Collection is known for. It’s like your own little fashion accessory that really makes that time of the month that much more pleasant…and cute (if that’s possible).

Here’s the important stuff. Aside from it having this adorable packaging, I’m sure you’re thinking, well does it still work? The answer is a resounding YES! Tampax Pocket Radiant offers the same incredible protection of Tampax Radiant in a discreet, compact size. Tampax Pocket Radiant tampons provide up to 100% leak free period protection, even in a package small enough to fit in your pocket. It features a LeakGuard Braid^TM that helps stop leaks before they happen and it features a smooth applicator & Anti-Slip Grip that make these tampons easy to use. Functionality and style, just like I like it!

This is the fashion girl’s secret weapon and I highly encourage you to try. No limits, no boundaries, no rules! Be sure to check out all of the details here: https://tampax.com/en-us/shop-products/pocket-radiant.

P.S. – cannot get over these prints!
