Recently, I came across a meme that suggested every box of feminine products should include little treats for women. And honestly, can you imagine? A box of tampons accompanied by a mini bag of chips or a chocolate bar? Sign me up! I’m convinced that the brand that embraces this idea would hit the jackpot.
Let’s face it: when we’re dealing with the monthly struggle of PMS, a sweet surprise tucked away with our essentials would definitely lighten the load. After all, when our favorite jeans start to feel a bit snug and every sound feels amplified, doesn’t a little indulgence sound like the perfect remedy? We absolutely deserve it!
During this time, we’re not just experiencing bloating and mood swings; we’re also facing the nerve-wracking comments like, “She must be PMSing.” Seriously? Back off! Yes, I’m feeling the effects, and no, it’s not as glamorous as it sounds. While I’m navigating cramps and cravings, I should be able to treat myself to some goodies. Whether it’s a few bags of chips or a comforting scented candle to help ease the discomfort, it’s essential to prioritize our well-being during these times.
PMS affects us in ways that make focusing on tasks feel nearly impossible. One moment, I’m putting away dishes, and the next, I’m distracted by the pantry. Apples that need to be tossed suddenly inspire thoughts of pie—which quickly dissolve as I remember that I can barely muster the energy to clean, let alone bake. The chaos of my thoughts often leads to more mess, and before I know it, I’m knee-deep in snacks again. Yes, I can demolish a tub of ice cream in record time—it’s practically a skill.
It’s not just me; many women experience the same struggle. Hormonal fluctuations can seriously impact our mood and concentration, making it difficult to stick to our usual routines. And amidst all this, we’re also expected to manage sanitary products while trying to keep everything else in order, which can feel like a balancing act on a tightrope.
So, the next time Aunt Flo pays a visit, remember to be kind to yourself. Dismiss those negative thoughts, don’t take on more than you can handle, and give yourself a break from the daily grind. And most importantly, treat yourself—because you truly deserve it.
