You are anyway going to scream your head off at some point in time of your period for no reason, might as well make it about getting your favorite flavor of ice cream! The frozen delight should make you sing at the top of your voice like Elsa –
Let it go, let it go
Can’t hold it back anymore
Let it go, let it go
Turn away and slam the door!
I don’t care
What they’re going to say
Let the storm rage on,
The cold never bothered me anyway!
‘Let it go’ could totally be a Period anthem!

2. Bring on the cheese

A thick juicy burger with triple cheese, is that a thing, oh yes it is! With an extra topping of mayonnaise, because those crampy monsters will satiate only when they get their dose of cheese. If there is no burger in sight, then get a double cheese pizza delivered home and sink in the cheesy goodness. If you still feel the need for cheese, then maybe a side of a Nicholas Sparks movie should do the trick. 😉
3. Cookies..nom nom nom

Double chocolate chip cookies’, munching on heavenly cookies is what the doctor ordered. Maybe not, as you are really not supposed to overdose on sugar but since when have you said no to a sugar high? The crunchy sweet is a perfect snack to accompany those Netflix binges you are on while on your period. Take care of the crumbs though, because we know you are not moving out of that snuggly bed for a couple of days at least. 😉
4. Crazy chick ‘en’
