LET'S TALK ABOUT IT 🗣!!  
Finding the contraception that works best for your lifestyle is IMPERATIVE because it lets you direct your life the way you want. But you can spend a lot of time and energy trying out different types of birth control, and it’s easy to get frustrated before you find the right one.

For some finding the right birth control is hard! If that’s you, you are not alone 🤎 I struggled with it too!! It wasn’t until I educated myself on the options and weighting out the pro and cons, was I able to make informed decisions on what works best for me! So I encourage you, do your research!

There is so much to consider when selecting a birth control method. How effective is it? Is it reversible? Is it long-term or short-term? And so much more. If you are considering getting on birth control, switching birth control, or simply want to educate yourself on this topic, swipe 👈🏾 😁

I’ve collected some important details so you can easily compare different birth control options and start a conversation with your health care provider!

Let’s talk about it❗️

Vaginal discharge that’s white or clear and with a faint odor or odorless is normal. In fact, discharge helps protect you from dryness, moistens your va**na during s*x, and guards against va**nal and urinary tract infections.

But va**nal discharge isn’t always healthy. If you notice more discharge than normal, a change in color or thickness, or a bad smell along with itching, burning, pelvic pain, or pain during s*x or while urinating, you should check with your gynecologist for diagnosis and treatment.

How to remove a menstrual cup 1️⃣0️⃣1️⃣

I'm not going to lie, I believe that taking the cup out is a bit challenging than inserting it 😳The first day transitioning to using the cup I was totally confused! I prepared myself so much on inserting in that I had no idea how to take it out 🤦🏾‍♀️ After learning the hard way along with watching youtube videos, here are the steps I used on how to remove menstrual cups! I promise it’s not as bad, it just takes practice!

What are some topics you want to see next week? Any topics, I am open to just about anything. Comment idea below 👇🏾

Just being something is COMMON doesn’t mean it should be normalized ‼️

You have probably heard that pain with your period is part of being a woman but let me tell you, that is NOT true! Painful periods that impact your daily functioning are not normal.

If period pain is so bad that it interferes with your daily living or stops you from going to school and/or work, please see your doctor discuss it!

Menstrual Cup 1️⃣0️⃣1️⃣

My experience with using a mensural cup was AMAZING! I really do love this thing- I wish I would have used one sooner! When I first heard about menstrual cups I said I would never use one but here I am 🤣 Not only are they eco-friendly, but they also surprisingly hold more blood than pads or tampons and affordable!

The only thing I can say though, after all the research I did and talking to my peers, I was so eager to use the cup that I had NO clue on how to take it out when it was time to take it out 🤦🏾‍♀️. Unfortunately, I had to learn the hard way. But now I am an expert at it 😂 With that being said, stay tuned for next week’s post on steps and tips on how to remove the cup!

Wellness Wednesdays w/ Kii 🧘🏾‍♀️

My favorite person in the world, Maya Angelou, said it best, when people show you who they are, BELIEVE them the first time!

People know themselves much better than you do. That why it is important to stop excepting them to be something other than how they are 👏🏾

Sometimes we tend to forget, but I’m here to remind you that we are the CEO of our lives! We can PROMOTE or DEMOTE anyone expeditiously and respectfully!

Here are some of my tips to help with period pain 👏🏾

Periods are meant to be sore. Womb contraction isn’t pleasant! So mild-moderate pain with your period is expected. There are so many ways that people deal with period pains but here’s mine! My cramps are usually moderate with some bad days but I noticed the more committed I have been to exercise, the less painful my cramps are!

*PLEASE NOTE*

Severe periods that deliberate you where you can’t get out of bed, can’t do any of your normal activity, severe vomiting is NOT normal, and may have an underlying treatable cause. Please see your doctor if you experience this!

Question 🤔: How do you guys best manage your period pain?

Everything has always depended on you ⚡
It is Your body. Your decision. Either love it, hide it, hate it, accept it, or glorify it
What did /do you choose?
Know that it is always time to raise your head and say no, even if it is against your own thoughts. Your body, your decision...

CALL IT EXACTLY LIKE IT IS 👏🏾👏🏾!!!

When we avoid saying words, we instill a sense of shame, of something to be avoided or hidden when it shouldn’t! Let’s dismantle the stigma & start embracing our parts by calling them by their correct scientific terms!

The reason why we feel like it’s a bad word is that society deems s*xuality as a negative thing that should not be talked about. This embarrassment stops individuals from going to doctors and talking about their health issues. S*x is a part of our lives, individuals all over the world participate in s*xual activities, so it’s now our turn to normalize our parts.

It’s now our job to change this! We no longer need names like ‘cookie’ and ‘flower’ for our va**na. I believe that EVERYONE should be taught the right name terms at a young age so they don’t have to hide when they grow older. Because the only way to change is to be the ones who bring about that change! So, remember to be proud of yourself, and proud of your body 🧡

Did you know? 💡👀

Whether you expect to have kids within the next month or in 20 years, do your part NOW and take your multivitamin! Fill your plate with fruits, vegetables, dairy, grains, and a variety of protein foods to build a healthy plate.

Our body NEEDS vitamins and minerals‼️Each vitamin and mineral has specific benefits and is essential for keeping your body functioning well. 
I don't know about y’all but, the idea of having a child in the future use to scare me. Pregnancy and childbirth sounded way TOO complex for me 🥴But establishing good habits NOW like eating healthy, being active, taking my daily vitamins, definitely help put some of those fears at ease ✨

Fun fact about menstrual cups 🤩

Ever wonder why there's no smell when you remove your menstrual cup? In pads and tampons, it's the bacteria that enters the cotton fibers that actually creates the smell. In a cup, because no free oxygen reaches the collected flow, it remains bacteria-free.⁠ And therefore ODORLESS 👏🏾
⁠
If for some reason your cup has developed a smell, try leaving it in an overnight mix of half water and half peroxide 2%.

I haven’t tried using one yet but I hope to try my next cycle. Post coming 🔜 about the pros/cons, how to insert, & facts about using a cup!

Comment ⬇️ your thoughts, questions, concerns about the cup that & I can address on upcoming post!

Letter to KS’s first doula baby ✨

Sweet, beautiful, and perfect baby girl 🤎 In times of uncertainty, you are perfect in every way. I cannot wait to share with her how strong your mother is and how long supportive your father is. They are warriors! My wish is for you will always know how much your parents care about every detail and every thought. Every ounce of your parents poured into your labor journey to ensure you were peacefully brought into the world. As you get older, and life presents its challenges, always remember the same strength and resilience that flows thru your parents, flow thru you.

This experience was everything and more! Can't lie though, being your parents' doula in the middle of the pandemic came with its challenges, but was worth EVERY moment. It had affirmed that these long nights, investments, research, and PRAYERS have all been worth it 🙏🏾

I will forever be grateful to you and your AMAZING parents🤞🏾🥰

This post is longgg overdue, I know. I needed time to process everything. This little bundle of joy here though is a trip, she is already a diva 🤣
