Ever since I could remember, I hated the word SEXY. I am not exactly sure why or where it came from, but I’ve come to terms with it. And to top it all off, I never quite consider my look or self “sexy,” and THAT’S OK. In a world where we see girls on Instagram showing off ALL their sexy, it’s ok to know that SEXY isn’t quite for everyone. It’s blog posts like this one that really show off how weird I am. But you know what? We’ll roll with it.

I wanted to share a few things that I am LOVING lately that are just completely un-sexy. Perfectly wonderful things that aren’t “trending,” but HOLY COW, I love them just the same. This post is in collaboration with Herpecin L Lip Protectant and Walmart. I promise you, it’s the best un-sexy product of all time, so read on below to see why I love Herpecin L!

5 SUPER UN-SEXY FAVORITES

HERPECIN L LIP PROTECTANT

If you don’t know about Herpecin L Lip Protectant, please let me enlighten you! Herpecin L is Pharmacist recommended for the treatment, protection, and relief of cold sores, sun- and fever blisters. It helps relieve and protect painful cracking of lips and promotes healing without numbing or drying. My favorite thing about Herpecin L is that it contains SPF 30, so I ALWAYS wear it when I know I am going to be out in the sun. I need to keep these lips protected and SEXY.

What you may not know is that you can walk into Walmart and buy this MIRACLE MAKER of a lip product. It’s not sexy, but it can do something extremely sexy for your lips!

GRANNY PANTIES

I strictly wear granny panties. I am the kind of girl who wore granny panties to her wedding, because I always prefer comfort to *sExInEsS.* Some bodies just aren’t made for low cut underwear, and that is okay. I really need a high-waisted pair of undies to feel comfortable and to keep my panties from falling down all day every day. Do what works for you! And if granny panties work for you like they work for me, then WORK IT GIRL.

INSTANT SOUP

You know those packages of ramen noodles people live off of in their college dorms? Imagine that. Because that’s exactly what I am talking about. It could be pregnancy or it could be because I love delicious things. Whatever it is, I am LOVING instant soup right now, and I even found a way to jazz it up to force my husband into eating some as well. (Seriously, just add in some chicken, veggies, soy sauce, and call it a quick and easy dinner!)

PANTY LINERS

This is probably the DEFINITION of un-sexy, but guys. Being pregnant is a weird, weird time. I would rather be un-sexy and wear these pantyliners than, well… anything else. I will spare details, but they are DEFINITELY a favorite of mine right now! Sometimes the REALLY un-sexy things become the favorites we never talk about, and darn it, guys, I am LOVING panty liners!

MESSY BUNS

Can we list this as a life-long favorite? I am forever NOT washing my hair, so a messy bun is a GREAT 3rd through 6th day of unwashed hair (and boyond. Whoops!) They can be cute! And hey, they save me PLENTY of time in the mornings. I’ll forever rock the buns!

I hope this blog post was super fun and useful for you. We can be real, we can be un-sexy, and we can realize that real life is not always super glam. Share some UN-SEXY things you are loving in the comments below. Don’t forget to head to Walmart to get Herpecin to keep your lips soft and protected this summer!
