Momma Told Me: This happens EVERY month.

I do believe the phrase is "I am woman, hear me ROAR!," right?

Woman have a great reputation for kicking butt and taking names all while handling everything life throws at them with sophistication and grace. They don't call them 'big girl panties,' for nothing- you've earned your title, and every day, even 'those' days are a reason to celebrate bring a woman!

Of course, we have a bad wrap for tackling that 'time of the month,' ladies- don't let Aunt Flow trample over your fabulous diamond encrusted kitten parade. We're tough, one of a kind, problem solving, act now ask questions later, human growing, sisterhood sharing, Charlie's Angels, aced that entrance exam, landed that new promotion, one-of-a-kind unique WOMEN! Don't let Aunt Flow trample all over your parade, take charge and party louder, longer, and harder with 5 simple tips to survive Shark Week!

Tip #1: Bake It Off- Everyone knows that chocolate and ice cream are favorite indulgences, but have you ever baked to entertain Aunt Flow? Not only can you have a say into just how many chocolate chips go into those cookies, or decide that 'Triple Chocolate' is one chocolate too few on your road to 'Quadruple Chocolate Chunk Brownies,' but the act of baking will help give you an immediate focus, with imminent reward that that will generate extra happy endorphins! Snack on your treats all week and continue to feel the accomplishment high! Not a baker? Try taking on a similar hobby style project and enjoy similar results.

Tip #2: Dance Off Pants Off- While you may feel like doing anything BUT exercising, studies show that physical activity can not only ease discomfort from cramps, but can also create those mood boosting endorphins. My favorite way to get up and get moving? A dance party? It's okay, you can dance in your sweats, a sun dress, or even your underwear- this party's at home, and it's all for you! Bonus points if you happen to have one of those fancy dancing video games to practice those smooth moves with! And, remember, we're fierce women who let nothing get in our way- U By Kotex has everything to keep you covered and Cha-Ch-Cha-ing straight through the week!

Tip #3: Lean On Me- We're not longer in high school. The days of whispers and giggles of your period are long gone. Today's women are modern, informed, and empowered. If you're having a rough day at work, feel a little off your game, or simply need someone to recite all of Noah's lines in your impromptu rendition of The Notebook, tap into your powerful network of fiercely real women! Men may have their 'bromances' but nothing beats the bond between strong women- only a woman knows what it's like to try and curl their hair while applying makeup, just how much of a miracle (it is that you didn't strangle your husband while giving) birth is, and what it's like to squat in a public bathroom while keeping your COACH fro touching the floor. Don't forget to utilize your sisters this week!

Tip #4: The Flow Never Bothered Me Anyway- If you're a period pro then you've already got Shark Week in the bag, but every woman knows that every period is different. Be prepared for those unexpected weeks with a simple survival kit. Nothing interrupts an awesome day of transforming and rocking the world quite like an unexpected slap from mother nature.
