Time of the Month Survival Kit
This post was sponsored by Playtex® Simply Gentle Glide™. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
I saw a quote today that said "I wish I was full of tacos instead of emotions" and that pretty much sums up my life right about now.
Let's just jump right to the point... our time of the month sucks. It happens every month and whenever it does, we feel as though life as we know it might just end. But although it's SO annoying to deal with, there are ways to make it easier! I have created a time of the month survival kit to lift my spirits whenever my monthly "friend" comes to visit. I use this time to focus on loving myself through feeding my cravings, feminine care, and taking care of myself. This survival kit is made for every woman - and would be a great gift for yourself or a teenage daughter getting her period for the first time! Keep reading for 8 things to include in your time of the month survival kit.
PAIN RELIEVER
Make your time of the month easier with picking up a pain reliever at your drugstore. It will help with cramps and headaches during that time!
SKINCARE PRODUCTS
When I was in high school, my face broke out every time I started PMSing. Now that I'm older, the acne is nonexistent (finally!) but now I'm dealing with dry skin especially during my time of the month. I always use this time to focus on my skin by applying hydrating face masks and using products that keep my skin moisturized!
NAIL POLISH
Just another way to practice self-love! I normally like getting my nails done professionally, but sometimes it's fun to turn on some Netflix and just relax by painting my toes!
TEA
Tea is great for PMS symptoms because it helps with anxiety and irritability caused by hormonal shifts. Chamomile and other decaf herbal teas are great for your time of the month!
WATER
Along with drinking tea, you'll also want to stay hydrated by drinking a TON of water. Vitamin-infused water is also a great option!
CHOCOLATE
Arguably the most important item on this list.
FEMININE WASH + WIPES
This one speaks for itself.
AND OF COURSE, PLAYTEX® SIMPLY GENTLE GLIDE™ TAMPONS
