We are planning to renovate our kitchen, transforming it from an old beige and golden tone into a more modern and minimalist style. The process of planning takes longer than we thought. And we are at the middle of choosing new kitchen appliances, since ours are too old now.

Browsing at Best Buy today, I had my eyes on one beautiful dishwasher from Bosch Home Appliances, and I have to share with you all, in case you are looking for a new dishwasher too.

It’s called the Bosch AutoAir™ Bosch 500 Series dishwasher. It automatically opens the door at the end of the drying cycle to let moisture escape and fresh air circulate for better drying results.* If you use dishwasher you know how a little fresh air can make the dishes a lot more dry. That is why I love the AutoAir feature. Also with AutoAir and the advanced PrecisionWash technology, the Bosch 500 Series dishwasher delivers a sparkling clean and dry.

As a family living together with our parent and siblings, capability is key. The Bosch 500 Series dishwasher with large interior provides loading flexibility necessary to easily accommodate 16 place settings, and the Flexible 3rd rack adds space for cooking utensils and ramekins, plus it can be folded down every other tine in one simple step to make room for larger, bulkier items while optimizing the rack space. It would be perfect for us.

Bosch Home Appliances is one of my favorite brands. Every Bosch dishwasher is ENERGY STAR qualified and meets or exceeds federal guidelines, for year-round energy savings. That is such a huge plus.

If you are looking for an upgrade in your kitchen, definitely check out the Bosch 500 Series dishwasher at Best Buy.

“This is a sponsored post for Always.”

When I was a teenager living in Vietnam, my family was having a terrible time economically. My mom moved to the United States when I was 15. She was moving with nothing but hope for a better life for her children. We, a 15-year-old girl, a 12-year-old girl, and a 9-year-old boy, were left with my dad who had never had that responsibility.

By that time, both my little sister and I were teenagers. Nobody taught us about what was going to happen when we grew from little girls to teen girls. By then, we were uneducated about having a period and we weren’t able to afford pads all the time. We were unprepared most of the times. It was a lot better when we got to come here to the United States and live a better life with my mom 3 years after that.

However, whenever I think back about those days, it’s terrifying to me especially since  I am amom of a girl now. I had tears running down my face as I was watching this video from Always Live #LikeAGirl.

The video brings me back to the memories of those days. I also used toilet paper when I didn’t have pads. I know the exact feeling when being unprepared. Everyone knows that being prepared and ready in any life situation is important, but in the case of having a period, it’s a lot more important for a girl.

Now I know it’s not only in my home country, Vietnam. Period poverty is a real problem in the U.S. Nearly 1 in 5 girls have missed school because they can’t afford period protection. The Always Live #LikeAGirl campaign is all about helping girls stay confident. Their previous campaigns have done that by encouraging girls to stay in sports and encouraging them to persevere through failure—both of which are key confidence boosters.

This year, Always Live #LikeAGirl campaign is aimed at keeping girls involved in the confidence-boosting activities they love—by helping tackle period poverty. Always and Walmart are donating a year’s supply of period products to 50 teams in 50 states to help #EndPeriodPoverty . With my real-life story, this campaign is so important to me. I’m so proud to be partnered with Always and Walmart to support it.

Let’s get her back in the action by sharing the new Always Live #LikeAGirl YouTube video and creating awareness of period poverty.

This new Always Live #LikeAGirl video is a must-watch. Everyone should watch it, especially if you are a teen girl or are a parent to girls.

Again, as a mom myself, I work hard to provide my daughter a wonderful life no matter which age she is. But life is hard, things may happen. I adore and 100% support meaningful campaigns like this. I highly encourage you to do so and spread the word about it. That one little act from each of us would mean so much for someone’s daughter.
