As women, we all know that our menstrual cycles can be challenging, uncomfortable, and downright frustrating. From cramps and bloating to mood swings and sleeplessness, the monthly visit of the crimson wave or ‘Aunt Flo’ (whatever your term of endearment may be), can be a challenging time for many of us. However, with a focus on self-care and the right products, you can make this time of the month more manageable, comfortable, and maybe even, enjoyable. Take a closer look at these products worth considering adding to your shelf. So, let’s dive in and discover these products together and how you can incorporate their benefits for your next period.
Sugar Cravings
When you’re on your period, your mood can take a hit, and you may crave sugary snacks. However, sugary snacks are not the best choice for your health or your mood. That’s where The Good Mood Cookie comes in. These cookies are not only delicious, but they’re also packed with collagen, which can help improve the appearance of your skin, hair, and nails. Additionally, they contain chia seeds, which are rich in vitamins and antioxidants, and coconut oil, which can help hydrate your skin and boost your mood.

Getting enough sleep is crucial during your period, but sometimes it can be challenging to fall asleep due to cramps, bloating, or anxiety. Chamomile is well-known for its ability to help promote relaxation and sleep, making it an excellent choice for those who have trouble falling asleep during their period. Our Sweet Dreams Loose Tea is made with chamomile and honey, which not only tastes great but can also help soothe your senses and leave menstrual pain as a distant memory.
