This is a love story I surely wasn’t expecting, and you too may find it a little crazy yourself. I never thought it was possible, but who ever thinks that they will be the ones who will fall in love with a product and a program, but I did, and apparently I am not alone. If you haven’t heard, perhaps there is a love story waiting for you too!

I really loved feeling clean, and empowered all at the same time, finding options where I had just accepted the status quo and feeling great about the fact that I had choices. Over these last few weeks of being a brand ambassador for Cottonelle something changed. Both me and my family got used to a new normal. My idea of being prepared changed drastically, and so did what I packed in my bag and my car, and that is a good thing.Whether it was messy hands after eating a snack on the go, going into a bathroom stall and running out of toilet paper, or just wanting to be just a little cleaner, there just didn’t seem to be one solution to the problem. I guess since no one mentioned it, and I didn’t think of it myself, having an option never dawned on me. I had a “one-track” mind so to speak those wipes were for babies, or for cleaning your hands, and over time I thought that was the case. So when restaurants had moist toilettes of some type I kept them just in case, but those were only for one thing. Plus half the time those toilettes were dry, or unusable, so in other words they ended up being hard and pretty much good for nothing.Cottonelle’s Fresh Care wipes never disappoint. They were always wet, and they were good for more than just a few clean up jobs. I now had options, and I loved it. They also allowed me to be prepared because I was ready for just about everything that wipes and toilet paper could clean up. Having my Cottonelle Fresh Care wipes was no longer optional, it became necessary. By surprise, I learned the benefit of being prepared whether it was a sticky situation, or a big clean up, I had what I needed.I don’t know why it didn’t dawn on me before that I could empower myself and my family by doing something that was so very effortless. Now, I get it! So my car has Extra Care wipes, I have them in my purse, and where ever I go, they are not very far.I realized that all of those situations where I didn’t feel like I had choices or control before were now over. When I went to the bathroom, I was prepared for whatever I found, and that was a great feeling.As a mom, what made me feel even better was knowing that I had passed this lesson on to my daughter. I knew it when the other day my daughter said, “Mom, where is the Cottonelle?” because even she got used to using the Extra Care plan. Even better, she understood that I had what she needed and as a mom that felt great!Now, my family and I are ready for whatever comes our way, we have options where I didn’t think there were any, and that really feels great! A product that we used to pass by on the shelf has become a staple in our household, solving problems we didn’t think had solutions, and helping us become prepared for whatever comes our way. What could you be missing that is right in front of your eyes?
