Hi guys, I'm Shelly and welcome to another month of The Hormone Diaries.
What month are we on? I have no idea.. I currently have PMS and what I call period brain...
I've got 4 things wrong today already..... It's just.... I am swimming in a brain fog of life......
and that sentence didn't have an ending.......
So it's another Hormone Diaries and this month I decided to treat myself.
I bought one of the many subscription boxes that exist in the world, for periods.
Which I think, are a brilliant and wonderful idea. If you are new to periods.
If you haven't had your period yet, and you just want to get all the products in front of you.
And get kind of familiar with them and so on.
Or, if you're years and years... like me years and years and years down the period track.
And you still manage to forget, that you're due on. You still manage to forget to buy stuff in.
Or you, know you. Just want to treat, because ughhh aint we had enough of this back pain by now!
The Box that I ordered, is the Betty box...
Let's try that way around...... it's rattling!
It's the Betty box, this is designed for...(I gott put it down)
This is designed for Teens, and Pre-Teens. People just starting their period.
So light flow, teenage products and things like that.
It's lovely and bright and friendly coming through the post.
It comes in a bag, kind of polythene bag, and it's supposed to fit through an average letterbox.
I don't know if it will? It didn't fit through mine. The postman had to knock on my door.
But it's discreetly packaged. It is, as I said, in a polythene bag. So the postman won't know what it is.
You wouldn't get too embarrassed about getting it.
I do believe, I got a code with it.
This isn't sponsored! Not sponsored at all, I bought this with my own money.
But I do believe, they gave me like.. a couple of....some percentage off. With a code, for the next time I buy one.
Or for any of my friends who wanted to buy one. So I leave links to that, down below.
You are given the choice of products, ie, pads or tampons.
And then, once you have chosen which you want. You can also have both, you can have a mix.
You are then able, to choose what company, products you want, are from.
They do Always or Bodyform I ordered pads...
So let's open up this baby and see what we got shall?
Really excited because I'm currently got PMS..... and I want some goodies.
Oh it's a box, inside a box, inside a box.
You gotta love good packaging. So let's put this down, before I drop it, or dislocate something.
The normal signs your period is coming.
Sign 1, Life becomes an all you can eat buffet...So Very True!
Sign 2, Your chin is zit city! Also, So very true. I have about 3 tons of concealer on my face right now. It's not pretty people!
Sign 3, Everything is actually the saddest! oh god that's true...
Number 4, You're just CBA! CBA?
Okay, as I said this is aimed at teenagers, who probably know what CBA means.
Can't Be Arsed?
I mean, that's what comes to mind for me, when you say CBA. What does it mean people under 20?
Can you tell me? Because I'm in my 30s, I'm old now, come on. I don't know these things!
You're suddenly incredibly aware of your boobs!
I got them heavy boobs, heavy boobs. Don't ever forget! Owww, all that swingin!
Can we just!
I don't own boobs right now, I own udders! The pain people, the pain.
Number 6, Your stomach is a balloon! Well my stomach is always a balloon, but yes it's very much balloon like right now.
Number 7, But then you're Betty box arrives and so life is good.
Well I hope it is. If it has chocolate it is! I need chocolate in my life.
So, first things first we get a little pouch bag.
Which is rather cute and rather wonderful and rather bright.
Inside here, if can get it open. Is a mixture of liners, Wow are they tiny!
teeny, tiny. Lets open one of these up.
oh my god! who? who would ever? Is that?
Did anybody ever wear these that small?
Though I guess it's for people to, get used to liners. I shouldn't judge because everybody's different sizes.
If you are like 8, 9, 10 and you want to get used to wearing liners. Or you started your period earlier.
These are actually really good. I should rephrase,
I'm just thinking for me, but again this box is aimed at teenagers.
So, not full-grown adults like myself. Actually, these would be really good for the few days before your period starts.
When you're not sure, and you just to be safe want to have something, kind of protection.
These would be really good.
Then you get 5 of the day liners, I will open one of these up. If I can...
So this is more of a bigger and normal size.
I've got the ones with wings, so that they go round and stay in place a little bit more.
They still go off wondering, but we can but hope.
They're going with an average period, which I suppose you.
I don't know I mean you'd get through 1 of these a day, I don't think so.
You'd get through about 2 or 3 of these a day, maybe. So just giving you 5, is not so great.
But then, I don't know, but you do get this lovely cloth bag. Which is such a good idea.
I love this because, if you go into school. And you have to have liners, or tampons or anything in your bag.
They can fall out, you don't want your mate seeing them.
You don't want to have to take them to the bathroom, it's embarrassing.
I get that we shouldn't have to be embarrassed about it. But it is embarrassing.
So if you've just got this in your bag, this could be anything. This could be makeup, this could be your phone.
To be honest, I think I will be using this. I always drop them out of my bag.
They always end up, over the floor. So to have this It'lll just take that embarrassment out.
We have another box that says "for night".
I like the fact that all of these things are coming in boxes because again.
If you live in a mixed household, and you don't have your own bathroom.
And you don't want to, have to have you liners on show. You can just pop this in the cupboard.
In here are 1,2,3,4,5 Again one a night? okay...
5 night liners. Which will be much, much bigger. These are much longer, with the wings again.
So you can move around in bed, and not be scared of getting a mess everywhere.
I know this probably, to a teenager, these probably look really scary and really, really long.
But you'd be surprised, once they kind of, wrap around. They go about half way up your butt.
But they do really help, it does really, really help. Just make you feel more secure at night.
Because you move a lot, and you wriggle a lot, and accidents happen ladies. We all know!
I've been moaning that they've only given me 5 of each. I think I've been moaning for no apparent reason.
Because we have another box that says "For Later" and there's more pads in there.
I apologize Betty.Me. There was no need for me to get uppity, about the fact that there wasn't so many.
You do get 9 more day liners. So if your period starts again, out of nowhere.
As it does sometimes, you can just have a mini period in between periods.
If it starts before it's supposed to, because you're not regular yet.
Any reason, you have much, much more. And you're so covered for more than 1 pad a day.
Let's get for the goody's shall we? For you box.
We love, we love, ourselves some goodies. We have the Nib & Fab, purified teen skin, fix poor blast or wash, night.
Put those words into a sentence, you have a night wash.
Which I will probably use, it's specifically for teenage skin. But I still get teenage skin, so thanks.
Then you get the matte liquid lipstick, by GRLPWR.
It's a kind of a 90s pink, it's a dark dusky pink.
Do we do that? Does that matter? Do we do that kind of things? I don't know.
Then we have........oh.... Now you know me .We've got to Chill Out, Mint Herbal Infusion Tea.
And it's all biodegradable as well, I've gotta love a bit of biodegradable.
Got a nice, you can chill out, you can have a cup of tea.
We All Need Tea!
We have a pen...........
You have my phone.....
We have a pen, who doesn't love a pen.
I'm not sure if it's anything specific about this pen, but we have a pen.
Then we have the Kiwi.....Kiwi
What is the Kiwi? ohhhhhh
You stick them on your eyes people.
Oh there's loads of them , there is like..... I don't know if you can see?
But they're really, really thin and there's about 10 of them in there. It's re-sealable.
So you put 2 on your eyes, and then you zip it back up, so that can last you a whole month.
We have a tea tree, oh...........Thank you!
Tea tree hair and scalp treatment.
Awwwww, just the idea of that on my head, and making my head tingle. Is making me happy.
And then last, but not least.....
That's a bit stingy innit?
Doisy and Dam, milk chocolate, crunchy, almond butter.
Really???
Even if I was a teenager, I need more chocolate that that!
I mean don't get me wrong, I appreciate all the the good things.
All the all the beauty stuff to make me feel wonderful, and fresh and supreme.
But I'm gonna be in pain people! I mean, I'd get through this.... that, that's one bite!
that's, that's, that's, that's terrible! No no!
You were doing well until then!
I am let down now. I'm let down! I need more chocolate than that in my life.
I mean, it's bloody good chocolate I would imagine.
But yeah,
No.
If you ever met anybody who was ever on their period? More chocolate is needed than that!
So that is the Betty.me box. I will leave links down, to all the products below.
If you are interested in them, and if you like to look at them.
But I think on the whole, minus this poxy piece of chocolate.
It's a very, very good box, so. It gives you everything you need.
It gives you a bit for the future, because your period will be all over the place.
And won't have a specific, sort of, comes every month, cycle.
So you're kind of, covered and you have every different kind of liner.
Again this wasn't sponsored. I have bought this off of my own back. I'm only gonna buy one month.
I don't think I'll be carrying on with it, because let's face it I'm not a teenager.
I might try out some more boxes, if you guys would be interested in that?
Hit me up down below!
So I hope you guys are good, I hope you guys have smuggled with a cup of tea.
Not having to cope with horrible cramps, and I'm gonna go and have a nap.
I will see you guys next month. Byeeee!
I'm just, I'm eating this chocolate now.
That is so good.......oh I needed chocolate.
I'm a bit calmer now.
But really??? Need MORE!
