This post is brought to you in partnership with Vagisil® and Her Campus Media. All opinions are my own.


I have always loved being a girl and I am so proud of the woman I have grown into. I directly relate that to my environment and my surroundings; I was always taught to stand on my own two feet, to be strong and believe in yourself.


As I’ve gotten older and more involved in the world, I’ve learned that women around the world do not have the same opportunities that I have had, and do not have control over the many simple aspects of their lives.


One of those aspects is the subject of sexual health and ownership of your body. We, as women, are mature enough to make the decisions that are right for us; I know that I am and that I’m very passionate about being in control of my life *I am a control freak by nature so it’s no surprise that I would want to take control of my sexual wellness and health*


I’m very proud that big companies and organizations, like Vagisil®, believe in that same message and give all women the opportunity to make those choices.




Vagisil® has been a brand that I’ve known about since I was a young girl and now I’m realizing how much of a powerhouse they really are in the area of vaginal health and wellness. For over 40 years, they have been shameless about our vaginal health and have always provided solutions to us, no matter what it is.


I’m proud to partner with Vagisil® today to bring you some more information about being charged and being prepared for your own sexual wellness and health.




Did you know that 1-in-2 women may need emergency contraception at some point in her life? That is a HUGE number, and truthfully, there is nothing to be ashamed about. Do not panic, do not fret because Vagisil® is there to help with their new emergency contraception product:




Preventeza™ is one tablet, one dose emergency contraceptive that helps stop a pregnancy before it starts. It’s the same ingredients as a regular birth control pill, just a stronger dosage. You should take it within the first 72 hours after unprotected sex or birth control failure, to help prevent the pregnancy before it starts.

It can be an emotional journey to decide to take an emergency contraceptive pill but you know yourself, you know your body and you know the decisions you need to make in order to live a happy, healthy life.


If you want to try Preventeza™ and always be prepared instead of panicked, buy one, get one free!  You can also find out more information about Preventeza™ and Vagisil® by going to their website.

This post is sponsored by Summer's Eve ® but all opinions and content is my own


When I 'came of age' as a young lady in my teen years, my mom taught me that it's important to take care of myself, to be super hygienic and to keep myself healthy and clean. I'm talking about my vagina -- (oh my God, I said it on the Internet!) and keeping the lady bits fresh, clean and healthy.


To me, there has always been one brand that I trust with my feminine hygiene, the brand that has been at the forefront of teaching us how to care for ourselves for almost 40 years.


Summer's Eve ®.


I remember the first time I used Summer's Eve ® and I just felt good knowing that I was using something that would keep me clean and not irritate my skin.


Around 15 years later, I'm still a loyal Summer's Eve ® customer and I am very happy to be partnering with them today!


I never wash my lady parts with regular soap or body wash -- I always have a bottle of Summer's Eve ® in my house and don't even get me started on the cleansing cloths-- those are a LIFESAVER and I pretty much never leave the house without one of them. They're very helpful for after the gym, or just on the go. They are especially handy to keep yourself fresh at that time of the month.


Summer's Eve ® was never afraid to put it all out there -- they are the expert on feminine hygiene and health, but they do it in a way that educates us on the importance of these products. it's something I've admired and why I am so loyal to Summer's Eve.


Like I said, this has been ingrained in my brain since a young age and I've been obsessed with the brand ever since I was around 11 years old. I'm always interested to try our Summer's Eve ® new products and new scents but this new line takes the cake.


When I saw the Simply Line, I was more than excited. I'm not one to think about ingredients in my cosmetics products even though I know I definitely should. However, Summer's Eve ® has made it so simple you don't even have to think about it.



I've been using the Coconut Water Cleansing Cloths, the Lavender and Chamomile Gentle Foaming Wash and the Lavender and Chamomile Cleansing Wash. I've always used Cleansing Wash and the Cloths, but the Foaming Wash is new to me and it's just as incredible as other Summer's Eve ® products.





Both the foaming and cleansing washes do the same thing, it's just up to your preference which you would rather use!


The Simply line is free from dyes (who wants dyes in their feminine hygiene products?!), parabens and alcohol (another thing you definitely don't want in your feminine products). They also are infused with botanical extracts and are balanced for our natural pH. The botanical extracts allow for a gentle, effective cleaning -- what more can you possibly want?



The Simply Line (especially the cleansing cloths in my opinion) give you a burst of freshness when you need it. The coconut water cleansing cloths are super gentle and honestly just feel really nice. As I mentioned before I'm not one to worry about ingredients but I can really rest easy knowing that at least I am treating my lady parts nicely and using products that won't irritate me or affect me in a negative way.


I have always loved Summer's Eve ® and the Simply line just gives me more to love!


Have you used Summer's Eve ® products?

This post is sponsored by Seventh Generation and Her Campus Media. All opinions are my own! 

Even though I recently lost 20+ pounds on Weight Watchers, my lifestyle is far from 'healthy'. I still don't eat too many fruits & vegetables and I haven't gotten on board with clean eating.

Despite all of that, one aspect of my life where I have found to be easy and seamless to go organic and clean is through feminine care products.

YUP, I'm talking about tampons.


Truth be told, I only started using tampons about 4 years ago because I was terrified. I had read too many articles in CosmoGirl when I was a tween/teen about Toxic Shock Syndrome and swore off tampons the moment I got my first period.

When I started using tampons, I used one specific type and didn't think much about using anything else. Then, this wellness craze took over the world and we all realized that what is in our tampons is probably not the safest for our bodies.

Once I read up on the importance of organic tampons I knew it was a switch I was willing to make.

*Even if you don't care about the bodily importance of an organic tampon, it's better for the earth and is just as useful as recycling your water bottle.

I mean, no one should be putting chlorine directly into their bodies once a month. That just doesn't sound safe or sanitary. All of the chemicals in our feminine care products are doing damage that we cannot see so it's hard to really imagine the dangers, but it's a change that you can make very easily. You aren't really changing anything about your lifestyle... just using a different brand.



I have to suggest Seventh Generation who has been making organic feminine care products for over 10 years. They were always a front-runner in making sure women knew exactly what was in the products they were putting into their body every month. They have nothing to hide because they're using good for you materials to make their products.

All the tampons are free of chlorine processing, fragrances, and deodorants which I can really appreciate because my skin is super sensitive. They're also hypoallergenic which is just an added bonus for everyone.



Seventh Generation's Organic Tampons have a smooth, BPA free plastic applicator so it'll feel like your regular tampon applicators; they're also made with 95% plant-based materials and no petroleum-based sources (which ew!) so they're safe for the planet as well.

You can find these tampons at your local Target, and they come in regular and super so you will not have a problem with any of that stuff.

Going organic with your feminine care products is better for you, and better for the earth!
