six ways III

six ways to fight having a bad case of the monthlies.

1. take a hot bath. heat helps me more than anything with yucky cramps. heating pads are also super helpful. i use a heating pad like this one.

2. drink cups of tea. personally, drinking tea just helps with my mood. so i tend to drink lots of it when i don't feel good.

3. take a walk. sometimes a little bit of exercise goes a long way.

4. read a book. fluffy chick lit is a must in this situation.

5. chocolate. no explanation needed!

6. take a nice nap (or two, or three, or four...) it can be exhausting being a woman!

1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6.

  1. That just may be the most adorable teapot I've ever seen. Tea always helps me when I'm not feeling good too!

  4. Rub a couple drops of chamomile oil on your tummy before using the heat pad, it's a natural analgesic and anti-inflammatory, and it smells good too!!

  5. Lulu,I was trying to find the inspiration to make a blog post...then I read this and decided to take the day off.I've done 4 out of 6 of these ideas already today and you've motivated me to keep the blog post short and the chocolate indulging and napping sweet. Being a woman IS exhausting.
    Lots of love

  6. C&D: oh wow that sounds amazing! i'm definitely going to have to try that!

    Nancy: it is exhausting, and you should take as much rest as you need. i think thats one of the benefits of friends in the blogosphere...they understand when you need some "you" time. take care of yourself!! and enjoy that chocolate! ;]

hi! i'm Lena, but you can call me Lulu. i love Frida Kahlo, feminism, art, reading, kitties, and drinking tea. i love the film Amelie and i think that the tiny traveling gnome has stolen my heart. i want to own a bookshop and live above it one day. i get quite passionate about things. i tend to think too much. i'm kind of a hermit.
