Hey ladies, how do you deal with our "lovely" friend PMS who always shows up right on time, the one that somehow only has a good reputation and never a bad one? 😁
Before, I didn't know how to recognize what was going on with me, so I thought I was just the classic, typically kind of nervous person and that it was just my usual little quirks. (: Now that I know, I try to get ahead of it as much as I can.
Sweets are there, coffee is there, time for myself with a favorite show, while I do something about my look for example (which I normally never do, I lean more toward a wild natural type than a regular woman who has her own daily care routine, need to change that <3)... So first, believe it or not, I grabbed a little mirror and tweezers and went to rescue my long overgrown, bushy eyebrows. Luckily they're kind of blondish like my hair, so there's a bit of an advantage since it's not too noticeable when I neglect them, which happens pretty often. xD
I think besides me being a bit silly, that slight distance prescription is messing with me too. Since I don't have the habit of looking at myself up close in the mirror, but rather from a normal distance where I can see my whole self when I'm heading out, there's no way you can notice eyebrows that have gone wild, every hair going its own way like a centipede, grrr. xD
I do always find some good excuse for myself, that's so true! (:
I remembered some green clay I bought who knows when, which also expired like three months ago, but come on, can clay powder even go bad, pleeease. So like every Serb whose favorite things are the ones past their expiration date, I hugged that packaging and decided to make myself a little face mask, my PMS breakouts and enlarged pores clearly needed it.
I mixed two teaspoons of clay, two teaspoons of water and one teaspoon of honey (I only noticed later that it said not to mix it in metal containers or use a metal spoon). According to the instructions, where this mask is labeled as an Egyptian mask, one teaspoon of sour cream was supposed to go in too, but I didn't have it. I mixed it until the powder dissolved nicely and the lumps disappeared, then applied a generous layer on my face. And while I zoned out watching a show, it dried up, started tightening, so I quickly washed it all off with lukewarm water. My skin was, no joke, twice as good as before. You could immediately see it was smoother, without those huge ugly wide pores, it got this nicer glow, I mean I was unrecognizable to myself. I even wrote it down on a piece of paper that I have to do this more often, it says it's okay twice a week.
Then I put on some nice Propanthen gel cream and went straight for sweets and a hot coffee, more precisely a cortado espresso macchiato, I'm in love with the taste. We had never tried those capsules before, I always used classic espresso and then added milk, regular or vegan, but this is great. A real, full flavor, like in a café. And I don't. follow the instructions there either, it says to make it on 3 bars, I put it on 4, hihi. (:
While I was waiting for my fiancé to get back from work and painting my nails with classic red polish, a typical PMS idea popped into my head, greedy by nature, obviously! xD I called him to ask if he could grab me a slice or two of pizza and aaaand he also brought a krempita. The pizza was great, the little cake not so much, but that didn't stop me from eating it, of course!
How do you deal with PMS? Does it make you go for food or maybe cleaning the house? I know some women who, during PMS, suddenly start cleaning and with some crazy strength and energy make the whole house shine in no time. They could host a royal family without a problem. That's not me though, I might pull myself together a bit and fix up my look, but meanwhile the mess in my room just grows and stays there for a while, at least a day or two, until I get tired of stretching over a hairbrush, nail polish that keeps falling over, some random notebook and big jewelry box just so I can type on my laptop (current situation).
Thank you so much for reading. I'm looking forward to your replies. Sending kisses and hugs! <3
I don't trust people who don't like pizza. Also, it must be eye brow repair season, I did mine a day or so ago.
I like your PMS process. I suppose we all handle it in different ways; some have such a terrible time of it though, I feel so sorry for those girls.

Ahh, I really like that pizza rule. (: Yeah, it's like someone just hit a command: "Okay, everyone, time to pluck your eyebrows now!" Honestly, it would be easier if it worked like that, because by the time I figure it out and push myself to do it, months can go by 😅
Everyone has their own means and style.
!PIZZA preference is with Sardines canned in virgin olive oil.

Ooo, I've never tried that kind of pizza before, but I do like sardines, so I have to give it a shot! Thanks for the idea! Kisses 😘 <3
I've been prescribed a Mediterranean diet by my Dietician and fresh homemade pizza is the start. No pepperoni or ham, adding canned Sardines that were packed in virgin olive oil, low fat cheddar cheese and packed with as much veggies as possible. 👌
Interesting coincidence, my neurolog has also been recommending a mostly Mediterranean diet because of my MS diagnosis. And I've actually started to really enjoy eating sardines lately, so I definitely have to try your recipe one of these days. Maybe with a lighter base made from buckwheat flour… mmm. ❤️
