Let’s be honest, sometimes in life you just have to put up with sucky things. Hard workouts, early morning wakeups, unexpected bills, tough days at work, and all the non-fun parts of adulting.

Unfortunately, sucky things are a part of life. The worst though is when things that shouldn’t suck totally do. It’s one thing to deal with a sucky experience at the DMV. It’s another to deal with a sucky day at the spa. I thought it would be fun to put together a post of 5 things that shouldn’t suck… because enough things already do. 😉

5 things that shouldn’t suck

1. Coffee

Coffee is what turns me into a human in the morning. It’s also incredibly hard to mess up. So taking a sip of bad coffee in the morning might be one of the worst possible ways to start my day. Coffee is way too important to suck. Which is why I’m thankful I pass like 48,948 good coffee shops between my apartment and work in the morning.

2. Mani/Pedis

If I’m spending $50 to have someone paint my nails for me and taking an hour out of my day to have it done, I want to leave relaxed, refreshed, and feeling prettier than when I walked in. And there is nothing less relaxing than walking out of a salon in flipper sandals with sponges wedged between my toes and noticing that my pedicure is already smudged. This is why I sit under the lights for like three times the amount of time they recommend, just to be sure.

3. Boys

There are too many nice, amazing, incredible boys out there that will treat you like gold to put up with the tears, stress, and heartache of dealing with a sucky one. Period. Find one that supports you, loves you, and makes you feel like a million bucks. Sucky boys are for suckers.

4. Cheat Meals

I have worked very hard in the last few months to lose weight and make smart food choices. So when I decide to throw calories to the wind for an enjoyable splurge meal, I expect that ish to be freaking amazing. When it’s not, it’s beyond disappointing. And then I just want to say screw it and run to Taco Johns for some potato oles and queso which I know will be incredible.

5. Tampons

Ladies, we have to deal with our time of the month roughly 12 times a year for a good 40 years. That’s a LOT of periods! And frankly, way too long a time to be putting up with a sucky experience with pads and tampons. There are enough things that suck about getting your period, like the cramps, the irritability, and/or the mood swings. (If you deal with none of these things I am a very jealous girl.) With all you already have going on, tampons should be the least of your concerns.

That’s why I love Playtex® Sport® tampons. The applicator is easy to use and compact so you can take it anywhere. The tampons themselves are absorbant, odor-reducing, and are able to hold up while you live your life and get on with your day. Who says your day should have to suck because you have your period? With Playtex® Sport® they definitely don’t have to. Pick up a pack at any major grocery or drugstore today to try them for yourself!
