YOUR BOD | PERIODS, PERIOD | Q&A

Knock out those period blues before they get to you


 
We all know the feeling, chicas.  That nagging pile of unfortunate alerts that let you know your monthly visit is on it's way.  Lucky for you, we've got the inside deets on how to beat those pesky symptoms before they even hit ya!

Beat the bloat
Stray away from your salty favorites for a little while.  Why?  Your bod is going to puff just a bit either way, so don't make it worse by packing in some extra batches of sodium.

More moo juice, please
They say calcium can toss a serious hit to those cramps, and babes, dairy is your best bet to do so. Aim for a couple hundred milligrams of calcium twice a day to cut down cramps by almost half!

Say Ohm
It's pretty self-explanatory when you think about it.  Your flow comes along with some pretty messy bouts of mood swings.  What better way to calm your triggers than indulging in some yoga time.

Tub time
Chances are it's probably been a long while since you've taken a nice long bubble bath.  Take this opportunity to slip on in.  The warm water will help keep everything moving along inside to ease your pain.
 
For crazy cramps, check out these tried 'n' true tips. What's your cure for the period blues? Blog it out, babes.

Am I gonna have my first period. I have been having a lot more discharge than usual. My mood swings are redical. I have been uber emotional. Also my hair is really greasy and oily. Is this a sign?

Moderator!
1) In one of the summer isue, I found a health fitness website & tried it but it said it was not made yet. Now I want to check again but I don't know what it is! Can you please tell me the link?
2) Can you give me the link of the make your own nail polihh?
3) I made some nail polish, & it' great! But, it's like really light (even though I put in more to make it more opaque). WHat do I do?




Hey girlie,

1. I actually don't have the website because I don't have the summer issues in front of me right now. (I'm not at the office.) Could you try looking back at your Internet Browsing History to see if you could find the link?


3. Try a thicker coat or paint a coat, then come back after it dries to apply more. The more you put on, the darker/more opaque it should get!

To all who have their periods:
People who don't have their periods feel left out, they want it. Everybody who has it says you don't want it, it is so annoying. Well, we still want it! By saying that, you make us feel even more left out! I know for a fact that you wanted it at one time! You used to be just like us! SO QUIT, BECAUSE I STILL WANT IT, AND YOU CANT CHANGE MY MIND!!!!!!!!!!!

MOD MOD MOD!!! ok so i am 12 years old and all my friends already have their periods, but i don't. they always are talking about it, and i kinda just sit there and listen, but i feel so left out!!!




I don't really know what to tell you, girlie.  Sounds like all you can do is wait it out, but trust me, it's nothing really exciting.
