Let’s get chatting, because menopause should not be a mystery!

Normally we just talk fashion here, but how can you think about looking fab when your having “one of those days”..

E is the author of a new book on M (menopause) called Shmirshsky, Think Inside the Box.

We came across this quick read and it had us chuckling out loud, as well as helping to demystify common symptoms of PM and M (e.g. Hot Flash Hell and  Am I the only one that can’t remember things anymore?) without making it all so serious!

“Don’t hide your shmirshky under a bush! ”

Shmirshky empowers women to take charge of this often mysterious topic.

Do you know what some of the symptoms of PM and M are?

E helps her readers learn how to interpret the symptoms of PM&M, research and interview doctors, understand the necessary tests, and reach out to loved ones for support.

How can you treat them?

Treating the symptoms of PM&M is not a one-size-fits-all situation. As E says, “Too bad they can’t administer hormone therapy through a pair of heels.”

Hey, E. that is not a bad idea!!!

We know that this whole M. thing is no laughing matter, but E. has a “take charge” attitude with a nice touch of humor!

If you know of any other books you liked on the M. subject, please comment below!

Hot Flash Fashions

Is it just us, or is it hot in here? This week, we found  another very cool menopause fashion product.

Finally someone has come up with an idea to help all of us “red hot momma’s” sleep better.

(You know the feeling… it’s the middle of the night and you’re ripping off your p.j.s because you are dripping in menopausal sweat!)

It’s a new kind of sleepwear for the “hormonally challenged” designed to combat hot flashes called Red Hot Momma’s.

What makes these nighties and p.j.’s so special? It’s the unique fabric that wicks away moisture, and keeps you feeling relaxed and cool.

“Cool comfort for hot bodies!”

Nothing like an innovative product with a sense of humor!
