Cosmopolitan US May2020

PRESENTED BY U BY KOTEX

Set your morning

alarm for an

hour earlier...not

to be productive

but to watch an

episode of

your favorite

show in your PJs

before work.

Skip washing

your hair—and

consider this your

excuse to push

the limits of what

dry shampoo

can do for you.

Related: Enjoy

30 extra daily

minutes of the

free time you

deserve.

Wear leggings

to the office.

(With a blazer,

ofc. You’re a

~professional~.)

Block off noon

to 1 on your cal

all week so no

one can interrupt

your lunch with

another meeting-

that-shoulda-

been-an-email.

Use crushed-up

chips from the

vending machine

as a topper for

your no-longer-

sad desk salad.

Finally get

around to

returning that

dress that

looked nothing

like its pic.

Then feel hella

accomplished

for completing

a task and

suddenly having

extra cash.

Replace the

charging cable

that came with

your phone with

a 6-foot-long

one that’ll stretch

across the bed

or couch, so

you don’t have

to hover by a

wall just bc your

phone’s at 6

percent...again.

Smash that

mute button on

all your ex’s

profiles so your

social media

feeds can be

happy, happy

places.

Hit up the

bougiest

department store

you can think

of and spray a

$$$ scent on

a scarf you tie

around your

bag. You’ll smell

fancy through

the weekend...

for free.

A PSA (period service announcement).

Use these why-didn’t-I-think-of-that hacks to turn your period days

(o r, t b h, a ny d a y s) in t o yo u r a b s o l u t e f a ve s.

By MADELEINE FRANK REEVES

THIS WEEK

IS NOW YOUR

BEST WEEK

Print out some

photos and gift

them to friends

with sweet notes

on the backs.

You know that

lil purse pocket?

That catchall

desk drawer?

That rando car

console? Fill ’em

all with U by

Kotex CleanWear

Ultra Thin Pads

that adjust to

fit and move with

you, whenever

you need them.

You’re welcome.

Convince your BFF

to join you for a

workout class...

and for post-class

gossip, obviously.

Dig up your old

mix-CD collection

and listen

exclusively to

throwback songs

all week.

Change your

phone back-

ground to a

picture of an

extremely smol

pup. Stare at it

approximately

two hours a day.
