| | | | | | | | | The Period Picks We Reach for Every. Single. Time. |
| We're not shy about talking periods around here, and we know you aren't either. From cramps to cup logistics, your cycle deserves care, comfort, and a little less confusion. So we asked around the team to share what we really use when Aunt Flo rolls through.
Here's what made the list:
🌀 Thania: Cup convert for life
"I switched from tampons to the Flex Cup and honestly? Life-changing. Yes, it took a minute to figure out, but now I've nailed the routine—insert at night, clean it in the shower the next morning, and I'm set for the rest of the day. On heavier days, I'll pair it with period underwear for backup. If I'm having a bad PMS week? I take Love Wellness Cycle Soothe, for taming the mood swings and cramps."
🌿 Kristel: Nature knows best
"When I'm on my period or dealing with pain, I keep it as natural and gentle as possible. I swear by The Honey Pot for pads and washes—the herbs like lavender and mint are soothing and way better than harsh chemicals. I sip herbal teas like raspberry leaf and ginger to ease cramps, and I skip intense workouts and go for light movement. A magnesium supplement helps with cramps and mood swings, and nothing beats a good Epsom salt bath with a few drops of lavender oil. Honestly, it's about listening to my body and treating it with the softness it deserves."
🩲 Joanna: Low-maintenance, high-comfort
"I've never had any issues using tampons (get the organic ones!) so they're still my go-to for busy days, but I've really come to love period panties for nighttime and lighter days. They've become part of my rotation because they're comfy, low-maintenance, and way better for sleeping through the night without that "Did I leak?" anxiety. I like mixing methods depending on what my body needs that day. It's all about flexibility and comfort."
🌙 Cameron: Tampons, but make it organic
"I have always been a tampon girl during the day and pads at night. For YEARS I was loyal to Playtex Sport tampons, until I made the switch over to Organic cotton tampons after I was getting some irritation and discomfort. My OBGYN recommended trying organic cotton tampons to reduce irritation due to pesticides and synthetic fibers in non-organic cotton tampons. So far, I have loved Cora tampons (and they come in a Light, Regular, and Super pack for full coverage through your period). Also, been switching between various brands for pads—Cora, Rael, L., and Honey Pot. All pads have been great and no leaks at night!"
Do what works best for your body, and don't be afraid to experiment. Period care isn't one-size-fits all, and what works for someone else might not work for you. Your comfort, flow, and lifestyle should guide your choices. It's also completely normal for those needs to evolve over time. Bodies change, schedules shift, and your period toolkit can (and should) adjust along with them. |

| | | | How to Plan the Ultimate Wellness Weekend for Yourself |
| You know that version of you who feels glowy, rested, and totally at peace? She's closer than you think.
Whether you're fried from work or just overdue for some real rest, carving out a weekend for you can make all the difference. No flights, no packed schedule—just your favorite robe and a plan to recharge.
Here's how to build a DIY wellness weekend that feels luxe and restorative
🧘♀️ Start with Slow Movement
Begin the day with gentle yoga or stretching. YouTube has incredible free options (try Yoga with Adriene or Move with Nicole), or queue up a class on Peloton, Obé, or Alo Moves. The goal isn't sweat, it's flow and intention.
Pro tip: Light your fav candle and play a calming playlist. The vibe matters more than you think.
✨ Beauty Care Rituals (Because You're Worth It) Scalp Detox: Give your roots some love with a treatment like Briogeo Scalp Revival. Massage it in, wrap your hair in a soft towel, and let it do its thing while you sip something soothing. Teeth Whitening: Try a non-toxic option like Luminuex Strips. There's something about a brighter smile that makes everything feel more radiant. Foot Mask: Pop on a pair of exfoliating booties (like Baby Foot) and enjoy a little foot soak. You'll be baby-soft by Wednesday. Gua Sha or Ice Roller: Spend 10 minutes with a gua sha stone and face oil, or roll away puffiness with an ice roller to boost circulation.
💆 Body Care & Spa Energy
🧖♀️ Anti-Aging Extras
Want a little "fountain of youth" vibe? Ultrasonic Facial: Use a tool like ELLE Exfoliating Skin Spatula to help get into those deep pores and reveal fresh skin underneath. Microcurrent Tool: If you have a NuFACE, now's the time to use it. Think: gym workout for your face.
🧘♂️ Meditation + Mental Reset
End each day with a short meditation or sound bath that calms your mind. Insight Timer offers guided sessions for grounding or gratitude. Not into sitting still? Take a slow, phone-free walk and let your thoughts wander naturally.
💡 Bonus Ideas: Use journal prompts to reflect on what's draining your energy versus what fills you up. Declutter one small space (your nightstand, junk drawer, etc). Yes, this counts as self-care. Create a wellness bar with cucumber mint water, mocktails, or herbal teas that make you feel fancy without the hangover.
