What does it take you to get race ready? Here in South Florida we spend a lot of time outside. Getting ready for an outside event in the spring and summer months is much different than the cooler winter months. For example in the summer I’m much better off wearing my hair straight because I’m constantly battling the humidity which can play havoc on curls!
It is also best when attending an outside event such as the Kentucky Derby to opt for a tinted moisturizer over think makeup products that are going to show their wear as you stand out in the heat. It is best to add additional protection by wearing a hat for extra shade. I use to have a fun blue floppy hat that I bought for the beach that would be perfect to get ready for a race day!
My last tip is to wear something comfortable and light. I would nix the high heels for a more comfortable wedge or flap shoe. Here in South Florida that is pretty much my motto all the time. You can find some amazingly fun and dressy shoes that are not heels. Opt for a sundress in halter or tank top style to stay cool.
The Cottonelle Great Finish Sweepstakes is a giveaway that will reward Americans with a year supply of Cottonelle products should the No. 1 and No. 2 positioned racehorses place in that order during the Kentucky Derby.

The Cottonelle Great Finish Sweepstakes: Cottonelle is upping the ante at this year’s Kentucky Derby and launching “The Cottonelle Great Finish,” a giveaway that will reward Americans with a year supply of Cottonelle products should the No. 1 and No. 2 positioned racehorses place in that order during the race. People looking to get in on the action can sign up at the Cottonelle landing page. The first 15,000 entrants to sign up will be awarded a year’s supply of Cottonelle toilet paper and flushable cleansing cloths if the outcome aligns.
Green Room Sponsorship: Before celebrities hit the red carpet and the races, they first stop in the green room to relax and freshen up. Cottonelle will be on-hand in what they’re dubbing the “Clean Room” with refreshments, a hair and makeup touch-up/refresh station and a fun opportunity to chat with Cherry.
As part of a partnership with daytime talk show “Bethenny,” Cherry will be spending her day mingling with celebs to find out how they get red carpet ready – all as part of a show segment giving a sneak peek inside the Derby.
Terrace Level Bathrooms Sponsorship: With more than 165,000 people attending the Kentucky Derby each year, the bathrooms are nearly as trafficked as the betting windows. Cottonelle is upgrading the bathroom experience onsite, providing Cottonelle TP and flushable cleansing cloths across the bathrooms giving attendees the opportunity to get clean and fresh while at the race.

Would love to attend the Derby some day! Have lots of experience with outdoor events though and I can tell you being comfortable is very important…along with some sunscreen!

I’ve never seen an event bathroom bedecked with Cottonelle finery. That’s a sweet situation!

What an interesting sweep! I too have a floppy blue hat. I’d rather deal with that then OD on freckles and skin cancer!
