If you are a menstruating person, you know how miserable it can be. And especially if you have any additional health issues or additional stressors happening on top of it then it can be a real nightmare on the monthly. And while I can't cure the scaries, I do beleive that adding in any of the below can help make it at least a little bit less terrible. 😘

Are your nails thin, bendy, brittle, and breaking all the time? Maybe they also have ridges or like to flake off in layers – what a pain! Don't even get me started on how hard it is to keep a manicure on without flaking. Here's my list of the top options you need to strengthen your nails, groom them to be healthier, and top them to look gorgeous. (All curated with Hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome friends in mind, but should be effective and gentle for non-hEDSers too!)

It's harder being a salty babe than people think – the amount of sodium, electrolytes, and fluids that we need on a daily basis can be daunting! Here are my favorites that keep the presyncope at bay (usually, ha). Nothing in this list is medical advice; always talk to your doctor when adding in any supplements. 🙂

Thin skin, discoloration, odd textures, sagging - the list goes on of how our hEDS may impact our skin, making finding the right skincare routine even more important for us zebras! Here’s what’s working for me, with some options at different price points where possible. 🖤
