When Aunt Flo Comes To Town...

Get ready for the tea

Aunt Flo, Shark week, The Red Baron, or whatever you decide to call that time of the month better known as your menstrual cycle then so be it. There's nothing to admit ladies, our periods can be pure hell on Earth and for some, it doesn't make such a difference in the sequence of their day. But for those women who deal with the agonizing pain of Aunt Flo, I got the hookup. Here are three hot drinks that help me ease the pain and hopefully it can help you too:

1. Chai Tea

This is the first thing on the list because IT IS THE GOAT. A hot cup of this will have you feeling like a new woman. Moan and groan in the bed no more! (I literally sounded like a commercial just now, exaggeration is real because this was me two days ago, real life!) Chai tea is found in your local grocery store, Starbucks, Teavana, and anywhere hot drinks are sold.

2. Chamomile Tea

Not only does this tea put you to sleep, it relaxes those muscles down there. After you drink a cup of this you will be knocked out girl. Cramps wouldn't stand a chance and soon you'll be ready to take on the world.

3. Peppermint Tea

Not only does this tea help ease the pain of cramps but it also helps with bloating and fatigue. Drink a cup before Aunt Flo comes and during the course of her stay. You will feel the difference soon enough.

I hope that these hot drinks will help you with Aunt Flo, just like they help me.

P.S. Chai tea is my all time favorite.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
