It's That Time of the Month!

All of us girls know about that "Time of the Month" phase. Dealing with cramps, headaches, toothaches, and feeling bloated. Maybe it's just me but these are all of the things I deal with before the time of the month. These are my "warning signs". Even worse let's not forget about: pimples, blemishes, or whatever you want to call it. During this time I feel disgusting and it's annoying. But that's what girls through. If guys only knew right! When the time of the month comes, it's rough in the first couple of days for me. It's hard to get out of bed and I don't like feeling cold. But it's not all bad, I have cravings when the time comes. I guess that is my excuse because,  I LOVE CHOCOLATE!



Through the years I've learned some ways to help sooth cramps, while having your period. So I am going to share them with you.
 
These are ways I help lessen the pain.
1. Eating saltine cracker. I know what you're thinking, but they really do help. I remember when I was in high school, this girl told me about this.
2. Drinking tea. Tea helps things like a sore throat, a cold, and cramps.
3. Exercise. Any form of it is good, but I wouldn't recommend going overboard. You can ride a bike, you can do yoga, or dance. I like to dance, but not too much. I remember in school, I didn't want to do gym that day, but my gym teacher said as soon as I start playing my stomach would feel better. I guess she as right.
4. Relax. Relaxing is something you should do while experiencing that time, whether it's reading your favorite magazine, eating ice, or binge watching your favorite show.

I also found a period tracker. I am unsure whether it's consistent, but it definitely predicted this time of the month. This is the link to the app I use, it's only the free version but you can buy the full here: Menstruation and Ovulation Calendar - Menstrual Period Tracker. They have a lot of information for you. It tells you when your best days for ovulation are, according to circles (1,2,or 3). I think the circles have something to do with your chances of getting pregnant. So far I like this app, so be sure to checkout the link above, if you want to take a peek. This is what some of the app looks like.


Things that annoy me when it's that time of the month.
-They look at you funny or they stay away from you because you're dealing with the case of "PMS"
- "Oh, she's on period, that's why she's angry".
- "Are you on your you know what, because your snapping at me?".
-"Is it that time of the month for you?.
 
Things you have to be careful with, during that time
- The type of clothes you wear. I wear dark jeans, when I go through this.
 

I feel like people exaggerate when someone is going through this. It's like, we're not crazy and we're  not some emotional unstable creatures. Hello, we are people too.

E.l.f. Eye Brushes

Although this haul is very small, I just wanted to share with you what I brought. I decided to buy brushes, because I needed them more! The first brushes I were eco-friendly and were really good, but their were more face brushes, then eye brushes. So that wasn't really helpful to me. It was only one eye shadow brush. I rarely shop online, I always go to the store. But I was bored one day and I guess this is what happened! I am really excited to try these brushes! I also brought some things from BH cosmetics, but that's for another post! Eye Shadow Brush The eye shadow brush is supposed to help apply the eye shadow evenly and make it easier. This sounds good, because the brushes I used in the past were tough and hard. It seemed like I had to put a lot of eye shadow on, before it actually showed up on my eyes. Blending Eye Brush This brush is supposed to blend the eye shadows, while softening dramatic edges and lines. This is really good, because before I h...

BH Cosmetics Eyebrow Tweezer

  Going to get your brows waxed costs money, so with that being said I rather do my own. Although I am not a professional I think I can manage. I do not wax my eyebrows. To be honest I have never waxed or tried to wax my brows. If you're like me in the department of not waxing, you find other ways to style (fix) your brows. For me I have only tried two products; one will be in this post and the other is linked here: Brow kit !     I have learned to love my brows just the way they are. But they do deserve to pampered at the same time. If I have a few eyebrow hairs that do not belong, I want something quick and easy to fix this. That is why I have my bh cosmetics eyebrow tweezer. I have written a few posts on bh cosmetics products, but I am not affiliated with them in any way. I just simply love their products because its still high quality products, but at a cheaper price. This is great because not everyone wants to spend a lot or are maybe on a bu...

Self Love Is So Important!

  Has there ever been a time where you felt unworthy? Unworthy of someone loving and caring for you. Have you ever disliked yourself so much, to the point where you would go into a dark place? I ask these questions not to necessarily get an answer back, but to let you know this happens to a lot of people. Self love is so important and everyone should feel good about themselves. Unfortunately in today's world that isn't the case at all. Society puts a label on what people should and should not look that. People judge one another 24 hours, 7 days a week and it's wrong. I've wanted to write this for a while now, but sometimes it's difficult. You don't want to offend anyone, but you also want to bring awareness to this topic. I'm not an expert on how to love yourself, but I do know what it's like to not have confidence. I know what it feels like to not think you're good enough, even when people tell you that you are.    I use to think I was I wa...
