Hormone Therapy: What It Is and How It Can Help You

As you age, your hormone levels naturally decline. This can lead to several changes in your body, including hot flashes, night sweats, weight gain, and low sex drive. Hormone therapy can help offset these changes by replenishing the oestrogen levels in your body.

Gifts that will make her smile!

Something that has always made me smile is a brand new outfit. And not just any outfit, but an outfit complete with coordinating jewelry. If you want to buy jewelry, read this guide to choosing a loose diamond. That smile you see on my face is genuine because I immediately fell in love with my new outfit that I received from Cracker Barrel. I love their apparel and their jewelry lines because they are so unique and you won't find anything like it in department stores. In this photo I'm wearing their Olive Knit Dress with Multi-Color Cardigan over the top. They also sent me their Tassel Necklace and Earring Set to give the outfit just a bit of spunk. I paired it all up with a pair of fleece leggings and boots since it's been cold out lately. I have to say I'm pretty happy with the way the outfit looks - and feels!

I LOVE these pads!! Not only are they discreet, but they amazingly hold as much as the bulky pads I was trying to wear when I worked out. Never again will I go back to those. These pads leave you confident in deadlift PRs as well as double unders, or whatever "leaky" situation you may have. The delivery was super fast and easy, and the packaging is discreet. LOVE! -Lauren V.

Love these pads! Having a slight leaking issue when I run due to age and having babies, and these do the trick. I love that they are tapered so you really can't see them there. -Gina J.

Ran my first half with a little help from Just Go Girl! Mom of two and a diabetic, I am an avid supporter of this product. I may not need it every time but it is better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it! Train hard! -Melissa N.

Dear Brooke,

Thank you SO much for such an amazing product.  You have helped to address one of the most embarrassing aspects of the aging process.  As a 47 "year-young" mom of three and grandparent to one, I hated the thought of giving up the one thing that I love - "Wogging", as I like to call it! Nothing was worse than being active with my grown daughter and having to call it quits because "I wet my pants"! Yes, that was horrible!  "You did what???", she would say to me.  Yep, I said it... admitted it - found the best product to address the issue, and am now "wogging happily ever-after".

Again thank you! Terri Lynn

Show Them You're Made to Move with Stayfree #FreeToMove #shop

This shop has been compensated by Collective Bias, Inc. and its advertiser. I am a member of the #CollectiveBias Community participating in the #FreeToMove #shop. All thoughts and opinions stated are my own.

It's the highpoint of summer so who really wants to stop and think about feminine care products right now? I know I sure don't, but it's a reality that we ladies must deal with once a month. I want to be able to enjoy the time I have with my kids while they are home for the summer and not worry about my period sneaking up on me. So I decided to make it a little less stressful and stock up on Stayfree Ultra Thin Regular and Stayfree Overnight pads on my recent trip to Walmart. I wanted to be prepared so my period didn't keep me from playing with my kids and enjoying the great outdoors.

When I went to the store I knew I wanted to pick up three packages so I could submit for the Walmart eGift card reward when I got back home. (More about that below.) I decided to go with three different kinds so I was ready for any type of period my body decided to throw at me next. I wanted to make sure I was prepared for pretty much any situation, night or day.

Boy was I glad that shopping trip hit when it did because here came my period almost a week early! Just in time for my in-laws to arrive and the kids to get all excited about taking on adventures together. One of our outings was to the Tippecanoe Battle Field where we did some hiking and the kids did some tree climbing. Thankfully I had my Stayfree Ultra Thin Regular with wings because I never lost confidence about being protected no matter how I twisted or turned climbing steps, hills, and trails.

Another day we hit the local Home Depot and did a building project for a bug box. Wasn't quite as much movement, but it sure was a lot of sitting and leaning over. But I did it all with ease knowing I'd be good to go when I was done and stood up. Thanks to Stayfree I was able to enjoy some great adventures while our company was in town.

And as I mentioned above right now you can get a $5 Walmart eGift card reward when you buy any 3 products- Stayfree, Carefree, or o.b. in any combination. I did the submission as soon as I got home so I didn't forget. It was very simple and quick to do, and I had my eGift card the next morning when I checked my email.

What do you to to make sure you're "Made to Move" when it's that time of the month? Do you have any tips or tricks to keep yourself going and not miss out on all the excitement of summer?
