Our friends here in France threw us a little going away party this past weekend. I figured I would bring up the topic of the menstrual cup at some point since it was fresh in my thoughts. I decided to inquire about it with the youngest female at the party. Yes, I did this all …
Yes, I have my period between 6-8 days. Each month is a little different but there are always a few very heavy days. This month, the first 4 days were light while days 5-7 were heavy. Day 4- Easy Breezy I was happy to wake up, take out the tampon and use the cup. I …
Day 3- Today did not start off well. I could not reach the cup this morning. I had to pinch and pull and pinch my insides to get a handle on the tail. It took a good 10 minutes of positive talk and calming my panic. It hurt and freaked me out so much that …

One of the great ingredients of the Skinny Protein Mix is Hemp. Which is an excellent source of protein containing all the amino …

Again, it was a pretty smooth day. I was not hungry and I felt very good, energetic. I think it helped that I had been drinking a shake or two a day for a week before starting the 5 day detox program. Today, my belle-mere (mother-in-law) said that her head hurt and that she had …
