Menstruation, AKA your period. I’m sure your familiar with the time of the month when Aunt Flo makes her visit. Families, eh? Who’d have ’em?

Periods are not really that much fun, are they? You’re exhausted, bloated, and you could cry at any moment. You’re like an emotional hand grenade just waiting to go off.

Although periods might seem like a drag (well, let’s be honest I don’t know many people who claim to enjoy being on their period) it’s not all blood, bloat and the blues.

Once the brain fog of PMS has lifted, your period can actually bring a whole load of mental clarity with it. You’re having the best ideas you’ve had all month. You’re seeing all your problems in a different light, and the decision you’ve been struggling with all month now seems much easier to make.
