Story time.

A year ago I was chewing Neuro Gum during finals week (the focus/energy one) and thought — why is there gum for everything else but literally nothing for periods?? Women deal with cramps, mood swings, and insane cravings every month, and all we get is painkillers, teas, and “just deal with it.” Meanwhile, every other product in the world is marketed to men or general productivity.

So I started experimenting. At first it was just me, then I gave some to my friends to test. They kept coming back for more and swore it actually made a difference:

• Cucumber mint gum → calms mood swings + bloating
• Strawberry rose gum → eases cramp pain
• Blueberry lavender gum →

so i was reading way too much about cycles (don’t judge 😅) and stumbled on this… apparently, right before your period, your sense of smell can actually get stronger. like, some women can detect scents way more intensely during that pre-period week.

and suddenly it all makes sense—why that perfume i love feels like it’s punching me in the face, or why even my own shampoo seems extra strong. it’s not me being dramatic, it’s literally my brain dialing up the sensitivity.

i love stuff like this bc it makes me feel like, ok, my body isn’t just being annoying—it’s doing its thing. anyone else notice random little cycle quirks like this? i’m collecting them all bc honestly, no one ever told me 😭
