Menstrual Cup Recap of last night and Day 2

This is my Aunt Flow's first go around with the menstrual cup. 

My overall impression of the cup was great, until I tried to take it out. 

Unlike a tampon it doesn't just slide out easy peasy. Last night when I went to empty the cup I learned two things: my fingers are incredibly short and if something is suctioned to your vagina you panic and wonder if it's possible to flip it inside out. 

I struggled on my own for a good five minutes before grabbing my phone and looking for a youtube video about how to get the damn thing out. 

I feel like I owe this lady my life. Or my vagina. Maybe I'll just send her a Diva Cup bouquet. 

Thank you beautiful stranger!

She calls it doing the "poop flex" but basically what it is that you have to do is engage your kegels to push the cup out far enough to grab it and break the suction so you can pull it out. I tried it and though it was still an awkward struggle I managed and managed to do it again this morning. 

I'm sure with some practice I'll get the hang of this, but so far I'm dreading revisiting this in 12 hours. But hey, 12 hours is a long time and plenty worth it. 

First World Problems | Pamper Night | Hair Update!

I'm going to start today by complaining. Yay! I hate living with other people. Particularly if those other people happen to be your older relatives.

I've been waiting to do my laundry since last week and if you live in Ontario you probably know all about the on-off peak hours thing so I have to wait until 7 pm to do laundry except on the weekends. Problem with that is my Aunt and her boyfriend us the washing machine every single day. I don't know how they are dirtying that amount of clothes or if its just that they never actually completely wash all of their clothes.

They do things like plan to leave all day and put a load in the washer and just leave it there ALL DAY. So, no consideration for the person who is actually home to begin and finish their laundry. Seriously, every time they leave for the day they leave a load in the wash so I have to finish it before I can do mine. It wouldn't be a big deal if it weren't every time.

Some would say, "why don't you just talk to them about it" but really, to me its just such a common sense issue to not start a load before you leave that whenever I think about talking to them all I can hear in my head is me yelling about how ignorant they are. Not very mature, I know, but I can't really help it. The topic enrages me. There is no reason why someone cannot start and finish a load of laundry.

Right now her boyfriend is putting a load in the wash and then he's going to sleep until 9:30 when he will go to work. Which means the laundry is staying there over night because my Aunt doesn't like to go down and get it because it wears her out. Right now she also has a leg infection - so I wont judge her on that. But I could have started and finished all of my laundry this evening.

I know its childish, I know its stupid... but you try it and tell me you wouldn't get upset after a while.

In other news I'm trying out a face mask because I feel pretty pooped today. I didn't sleep well last night because of freaky serial killer dreams so I figured I'd try a face mask so I could at least say I tried to do something with my skin. We'll see if it does much of anything.

And finally my hair! Its been a week since starting the Folic Acid & Cod Liver Oil. I'll upload a picture below to see if anything has happened.
