When you’re lucky enough to spend an entire weekend in the Florida wilderness, your primary focus should be having as much outdoorsy fun as possible, not worrying about any variety of dramatic girly issues. In fact, camping is the absolute last place you want to be worrying about women’s troubles, so I make it my personal mission to come prepared. This past weekend, which was the exact nature getaway I needed to clear my oh-so-cloudy head, I’m truly thankful I relied on the U by Kotex® 3D Capture Core technology to guarantee a good and, um… comfortable trip. I’m not normally an openly-vocal advocate for pads and tampons, but U by Kotex® made history this weekend as a epic Saver of the Undies. From jumping in the springs to canoeing to being led into dangerous and unknown ghost territory, I had to be ready for the unpredictable ways of the wilderness. To help you stay prepared, be sure to visit the U by Kotex® website here for a free sample and enter my $50 PayPal cash giveaway at the bottom of this post!
As for my epic glamping weekend, we set up shop at Wekiwa Springs State Park with what looked like an 18-person tent, plus an additional 4-person tent prepared as back-up shelter. There were four of us, so I think it’s safe to say we had enough room. M and I conveniently arrived after the construction of the campsite, so we settled in, immediately poured some mimosas, had a lengthy argument with the boys about whether or not our choice of drink was appropriate, and hit the springs for a whole lot of R and R.
Obviously, aside from playing in the gorgeous natural spring water, a warm camp fire and some s’mores were concupiscent priorities of mine.
We {barely} survived our multiple encounters with ethereal beings and graciously awoke to an ambitious full day’s agenda of lazy floating and canoeing on the river.
Can it just like… stay Sunday forever?
Many thanks to U by Kotex for sponsoring today’s story and encouraging me to become an #UnderWarrior!
My favorite memory is camping with my parents
Favorite outdoorsy memory is when we were little and pretended to go camping in our backyards w/ popcorn and smores.
It would have to be a few years back when my husband and I went to Vegas and actually trailed the canyons. Amazing experience.
The first time my hubby and I went to the mountains. It was also the first time I saw snow.
my fave outdoorsy memory is camping with my family when i was 8 or 9
My best outdoor memory is camping on the Grand Traverse Peninsula in upstate Michigan with my 2 best friends! It poured the entire weekend, we lost the tent poles, etc. – but it was the best weekend ever!

This looks like so much fun! I'm a bit of a princess when it comes to the idea of camping, I don't really like being dirty but it sounds like you came prepared. I think I could definitely camp the way you did!

My favorite outdoor memory is going camping with my parents and younger sister. My mom thought it would be fun to swing from a vine like Tarzan. It went well for a few minutes (until the vine broke). She wasn't hurt at all, and it was just too funny.
My favorite outdoor memories were spending time at my Grandmas trailer at the lake all summer long
