Tips On Periods. Bleh!

  Hey girls! 

  We all know that once a month, we all get our very much dreaded periods.  They can be HORRIBLE.  And most guys don't seem to get that.  Calling a girl weak can be one of a guy's biggest mistakes because I don't think they realize that not only do we have to deal with blood coming out of us but also the cramps, fatigue, nausea, bloating and most of all, WE HAVE TO GIVE BIRTH.

  For some very fourtunate ladies out there, they don't get cramps and I envy them!  I get horrible cramps every single month.  Sometimes they are so bad that I don't go to school and just curl up in a ball. 

  I have a unique situation though.  My uterus in tilted meaning instead of it being straight up and down, the top of it tilts towards my back.  Therefore, I do not get cramps in my stomach but in my lower back.  It honestly feels like someone is trying to stab my back but isn't able to break the skin.

  In the past I have tried Tylenol, Ibeprofen, hot rags etc.  For the most part, they did not work.  And recently I have found something not to completely relieve  the pain but to make it managable enough so that you can function.  My "Formula" for this is off the bat, take two midols followed by a big glass of water and put a heating pad on your cramping area (For myself my back) and relax for about 20-30 minutes.  Then, hopefully you can begin your day as normal with minimal cramping. 

  Try to repeat this process every 5-6 hours.  If you are too busy for a heating pad, you still will want to take the midol. 

  If you have free time, try to do some cardio.  Excersizes actually produces a hormone that produces good moods and endorfones.  Also, movement in your core area will help circulate the blood flow around your trouble areas.

  I hope this works!  I know it can SUCK and can totally ruin your day/week.  RELAX, RELIEVE and HAVE AN AWSOME PERIOD.  Take back control.

Is Your Best Friend, Really Your Best Friend?

            Alright, I have a few words to say. 
            From the time that girls have freshly come out of the womb, they are full of hatred... They may not know it but trust me, they are.  We are brought up on competition.  Your parents are bragging saying that thier daughter can play the piano.  Well my daughter can count to 20 in french.  Then, once we become more independent, we learn how to compete on our very own. 
            Think of your ultimate best friend.  Now think of how many times you have just wished of taking you hot boyfriend and shove it in her face, just shove it!  When thier is love, thier also comes hate.  That is the hate of having the love and wishing to ruin it.  We have all been in that situation where there is three of you.  One of them is more dominant.  Therefore, the two remaining friends have to battle it out in order to get the "Best Friend Forever" title.  Where you act so nice to eachother and you are just like "I love you!  Your so pretty, and can't wait for the sleepover tonight."  When you say this you know what eachother mean.  "Go away, you ugly, hoe."  True story bro.
            Therefore, this summer, I plan on ridding myself of this unwanted stress.  If she dosn't decide to give up, then I will.  Her friendship dosn't seem worth it.  Whenever I'm around her, I feel like I'm constantly trying to impress her.  And I don't even know why.  She also seems like a six-year-old who you have to keep occupied or else they will go cry, and I don't wanna spend my youth like that thank you very much.  I would much rather lay by the pool and work on my tan with "Romeo and Juliet" comforting me with some lemonade.  Me gusta. 
            Your best friend should be someone that you feel like you don't have to compete with anyone else.  I really don't believe that there can be the "Three best friends".  I have yet to see it, and until then, I have a hard time believing it. 
            A word of advice to you, if it is almost exhausting to have to hangout with your "Friends", then you should move on.  Go and find yourself someone who you can truley call your friend and have fun, enjoy life, and be different.
