Cycle 🔁 syncing my life with my Period

MacRitchie Reservoir

heyyy beautiful 😻 i wanted to share my tips on caring for my period cramps 🩸 and hopefully it can help you!

1️⃣ Electronic Heat Pack

why I like this 👍🏻

✅ Reusable, Sustainable and No cleaning needed

✅ Hands-free 🙌🏼 especially when there isn’t any Period Leave provided, I could only Work from Home 🏡 this device helps me so much to relieve the cramps ❤️ while I work at my desk 👩🏻‍💻

✅ Easy to care for 🧽 I previously used a hot water bottle but that took time because I had to boil water and refill it again once it gets cold. This is so much easier ! Just charge it the day before your period and you can use it more than a couple of hours ✨

You can get it from shopee, search menstrual warm waist belt 🦊

2️⃣ Cycle Syncing my Exercises

😢 I used to beat myself up for not being “consistent” in my workouts even though my period cramps are preventing me from getting up. And I get envious of my fellow non-female humans (psst referring to non-menstruating people who has a hormonal cycle of 24 hours) but we have a hormonal cycle of 24-28 days!!! 😤

But I learned that I shouldn’t fight against my body but work with what I got 🤗 I learned I could do different exercises during my period and during the different phases of my period cycle.

✅ Hiking 🥾 , Yoga 🧘🏻‍♀️ during my Period helps a lot in relieving the cramps.

3️⃣ Chinese Herbal tea 🍵

Not going to lie, I should have listened to my grandmother 👵🏻 when I was younger haha 😂 I was born in a Cantonese household and every week I visit my grandma she would make all these herbal tea 🍵 i never had period cramps until I stopped drinking them!

Maybe it’s a combination of other factors but ngl tea helps a lot!

The tea I make is Jujube and red dates tea. Sometimes I add in dried longans for a lil bit of sweetness 💜
