Aunt Flo, Shark week, The Red Baron, or whatever you decide to call that time of the month better known as your menstrual cycle then so be it. There's nothing to admit ladies, our periods can be pure hell on Earth and for some, it doesn't make such a difference in the sequence of their day. But for those women who deal with the agonizing pain of Aunt Flo, I got the hookup. Here are three hot drinks that help me ease the pain and hopefully it can help you too:

1. Chai Tea

This is the first thing on the list because IT IS THE GOAT. A hot cup of this will have you feeling like a new woman. Moan and groan in the bed no more! (I literally sounded like a commercial just now, exaggeration is real because this was me two days ago, real life!) Chai tea is found in your local grocery store, Starbucks, Teavana, and anywhere hot drinks are sold.

2. Chamomile Tea

Not only does this tea put you to sleep, it relaxes those muscles down there. After you drink a cup of this you will be knocked out girl. Cramps wouldn't stand a chance and soon you'll be ready to take on the world.

3. Peppermint Tea

Not only does this tea help ease the pain of cramps but it also helps with bloating and fatigue. Drink a cup before Aunt Flo comes and during the course of her stay. You will feel the difference soon enough.

I hope that these hot drinks will help you with Aunt Flo, just like they help me.

P.S. Chai tea is my all time favorite.

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
