Our favorite “time of the month” happens to be the 2nd Friday of every month when we get to join forces with You ARE Loved to offer Twitter fans the opportunity to participate in our monthly #PeriodTalk tweet chats. August brings a special guest, Valarie Carey, Founder of TOTM (Time Of The Month), author and menstrual educator.
Not only has Valarie agreed to be our special guest, but she has generously given us two prize packs (Planner + T-Shirt) to giveaway to encourage participation.
Prize #1: TOTM! Time Of The Month! The Essential Planner for Girls and Women of All Ages (3rd Edition: October 2012 – December 2013) The book offers tips and advice for girls and women of all ages who are cycling. With easy to document pages, one can measure and track the flow of her menstrual cycle.
“This journal is a MUST have for every menstruating age female. No matter young and beginning the journey or older about to end.
As many of you know, Be Prepared Period sponsored a team in the American Cancer Society’s Relay for Life event last month in Arlington, Washington. Since we wrote about our “Why do we Relay” in our post, Be Prepared Period Supports Relay for Life we thought it only fitting that we share some of our favorite moments from the event.
Realizing words are simply not enough to express this year’s Relay for Life experience, we figured it would be better to share some pictures from Relay. As the saying goes, “A picture is worth a thousand words!” READ MORE… »

To help us celebrate this month’s chat and encourage participation our awesome friends over at Lunette have generously donated a Lunette cup for us to give away to one very lucky participant. And even better, the winner gets to choose their size and color!
What’s Lunette?
“Over the past 70 years, a woman’s choice for internal menstrual care has pretty much been limited to tampons. Wouldn’t you like something better, something . . . nicer?
Now there is an alternative that is healthier for our bodies, our environment and our pocketbook — the Lunette menstrual cup.
Upon hearing it for the first time, many people wonder, “What is #PeriodTalk and why should I attend?” Our friends at Feby.com answer this question beautifully in a post about their #PeriodTalk experiences.
“#PeriodTalk is significant on many levels. It provides a place for girls, parents, educators, small businesses and organizations and the general public to discuss anything related to menstrual health and wellbeing. Unlike almost all other forums #PeriodTalk is just that – talk about periods. The focus is not sexual education but specifically menstrual education and that is important when you consider how young girls are getting their first periods now, some as early as 7 or 8 years old. They are too young to need to know about such things as birth control options but rather should be taught about their changing bodies and how to care for it in the best possible manner and to approach it with a positive attitude without embarrassment.” To read the full blog post, click here.
