Thanks to the below-mentioned brands for providing product for this post. All thoughts are my own.
It's National Health Education Week, and all week long, we'll be talking about some of the ways that we can refocus on good health for ourselves and our families. I am so guilty when it comes to taking the best possible care of myself. If you're a mom, you know how easy it is to forget about yourself while you're busy taking care of everyone else. I'm trying to do my best to remember that my family won't be able to function as well if momma is down and out. Today, I have a few products that I'm excited to share with you that will give you a leg up on great health and wellness this season!
Taking care of business & yourself, momma!
Where are you lacking in the self-care department? Vaginal health may seem like a taboo topic, but honey, it's oh, so important! Don't let this be something that you discuss with your Gyno and then put on the back burner.

Another great product to help you get enough water throughout the day is the Multi-Flask! I love this reusable water bottle so much! It's amazing for keeping hot drins hot or cold drinks cold. It even has an infuser, and different modes, so you can switch up the way you sip, depending on your drink type!
The Multi Flask lets you have seven different types of drink bottles in one system, reducing CLUTTER in your cabinet! Just assemble the Multi Flask with the desired included parts, to get a perfect bottle for all your types of drinks like: 11 oz double wall hot coffee with glass inner sleeve, or Hot Tea with INFUSER for either Green Tea, or Black Teas; or 20 oz. cold drinks like Fruit Infusions (very healthy!), Powdered Sports powder drinks (Mmm Smoothies!) which work with the shakable "Agitator" attachment to keep them stirred up, enjoy the Sport-Drink mode, with a soft silicone spout (to protect you from bumping your teeth while drinking and exercising).

Put an end to questions about your period!
I'm thirty-five, and in the years since I've had my period, like most gals, I've always found it bothersome. It's also changed a lot over the years, especially after having two kids. I began experiencing much heavier periods after the birth of my daughter a couple of years ago, and it doesn't look like that's going to change anytime soon. That's why I am loving Genial Day's products! Their organic cotton panties are comfy and give you that extra bit of protection you need during your period. They help keep you feeling fresh and confident all day long.
Totally unique panties made of organic cotton with elastane and with Silverplus finish to provide better hygiene and freshness all day long. Panties can be worn any day, also it features a special patented double gusset to hide pad wings during menstruation. Gynecologists suggest women wear cotton panties since cotton has great absorbency and is breathable and these are made of organic cotton which provides comfort, skin protection and improved hygiene when worn daily. Genial Day’s underwear factory is a member of the DETOX campaign–a global eco-initiative by Greenpeace.

A Menstrual Cup for who? Me? Yes, you!
I get it- the idea of a menstrual cup may seem strange, uncomfortable or downright icky, but I'm here to tell you- don't knock it until you try it! So many women swear by them and have ditched pads and tampons for good, thanks to these flexible little cups. They're safe to use, comfortable to wear (and easier than you think to insert), and rinsing them out really isn't a big deal. I tend to use this at home, rather than at the office or out in public, because that's what I'm more comfortable with.
The Genial Day Menstrual Cup is a safe and effective natural alternative to toxic tampons. It is made of medical-grade and toxin-free materials. It can stay in place for up to 12 hours. The cup provides the benefit of freshness by allowing your microflora to stay balanced, unlike tampons. The device is free of phthalates, PVC, latex and other irritants. It is also soft, durable and tear-resistant. Because the device is reusable and recyclable, it is economical and eco-friendly. Adding to the benefits, some women also report shorter menstruation, lighter flow and less discomfort as compared to tampons! Detox your period today with Genial Day Menstrual Cups!
Age Range: Adult Females
Sizes: Medium and Large
