February 3 • PMS ESC

PMS ESC (Extreme Self Care) was an old workshop idea that I never brought to life, but it’s a concept I get to practice and play with monthly. I swear this round of PMS tried to kill me. Wednesday night was exhaustion and a bout of nausea I’d never experienced before. I treated that with ginger, lemon, and hot water. Thursday was cramps. More ginger, lemon, and hot water, along with Clary Calm blend from @doterra applied every couple of hours. Yesterday I was so tired. I wasn’t hungry until about 11:30 am. I ate and then crawled back into bed for the best nap of my life. I woke up a few hours later completely refreshed and renewed. This is my post nap selfie from yesterday. Today I took it easy, never changed out of my comfy clothes, and spent most of the day in bed with Stretch reading a book. Tonight I’m treating my face to an @orgaid organic sheet mask and eating coconut fat balls in bed. 
Besides cleaning the bathroom, which I’ll cover down the road, I think this wraps up our time in the bathroom. I don’t wear make up so I’ve got nothing to share in that arena. There are lots of great zero wasters that talk about DIY and ethical make up. I’ll tag a few. I’ve given hair removal (eyebrows, upper lip) a rest for the last couple of years now so not much to share about that either. Except the break has been lovely. If I think of anything else, I’ll circle back, but for now, that’s a wrap! Onto the next area!

Post nap selfie. It was the best nap of my life, or at least in the top 10.

Ginger, lemon, and hot water for relief from nausea and cramps.

Clary Calm for cramp relief.

Orgaid organic sheet mask for my face, because it is heavenly.
