Hormonal Household – Puberty and Menopause Colliding

The similarities between puberty and menopause are vast. Think about it. Teens who are reaching puberty deal with acne, fluctuating hormones, body shape changes, irregular menses, growing pains and fatigue. Similarly, women going through peri-menopause or menopause are sometimes afflicted with mood swings, joint aches, the inability to concentrate, skin eruptions and mind-numbing exhaustion.

As women wait longer to have children, their menopause is more often coinciding with the onset of puberty in their children. The question, then becomes who just slammed the door and began sobbing? was it mother or daughter?

Coinciding hormonal transitions can result in tiresome bickering and cause extra strain on the entire family. While it’s difficult to achieve complete serenity in a house where hormones are colliding, there are measures that can be taken by both mother and daughter to ease tension. The following are a good place to start:

Communication: Communication can break down if you let it. Talking about ways to be respectful to each other can really help you get to know each other’s likes, dislikes and boundaries. Remember, no one benefits from a lack of communication.

Self-Awareness: Take the time to reflect on your emotions, reactions and behaviors. What are your triggers and how do you react to them? Are you overwhelmed by negative thoughts? Do you fly off the handle far too easily? It can be helpful to write down your feelings in a journal to achieve some clarity and feel empathy. Remember, everyone is dealing with their own personal challenges. Keeping that in mind can be quite liberating. Read the rest of this entry »

Free Cloth Pads With Our Lunapads Giveaway!

December 14th, mark your calendar! We are hosting a special tweet chat featuring some wonderful guests. And to help promote the chat, Lunapads has generously given us 2 – $20 gift certificates to giveaway to two lucky participants. Winners get to select their favorite cloth pads! (Shop the One4Her section and a pad will be donated to a girl in East Africa for every product purchased!)

What makes December’s chat different?
December brings a time of giving and that’s exactly what our special guests Pads4Girls, You ARE Loved & Days For Girls do…GIVE.

Their time, passion and commitment to improving the lives of others can be seen by all the fantastic things they are doing. From providing sustainable products to those in the developing world to literally saving countless lives by spreading awareness of the dangers found in products that millions of women use everyday.

So please, join us and learn more about what these wonderful organizations are doing to make a positive impact for not only the lives of women but the world!

Why Lunapads’ Cloth Pads?
Lunapad’s reusable menstrual products are eco-friendly, money-saving, healthy alternatives to disposable pads and tampons.

“I’ve used Lunapads for 5 years and am very happy with them. I have a sensitive skin with a  tendency for exzema, and lunapads changed my life. Before I discovered them, I suffered inflammation and rash every month due to the usual plastic protections. I bought an organic cotton starter kit and haven’t suffered rash once!” - Ophelia

For more information or to purchase Lunapads today “Click Here.”
