With the holidays fast approaching, if you find yourself in a pinch on what to get your bestie or if you’re wanting to buy yourself a gift, these female-owned companies have some amazing products suited for all your needs!

Night Worms

If you have a horror/thriller bookworm in your life (or you may be one yourself!) then purchasing a monthly subscription would make the perfect gift. Every month has a theme and you’ll usually find two books and some themed goodies (be it teas, stickers, or bookmarks).

Beauty Bakerie

This cruelty-free vegan cosmetic brand not only has amazing products, but they seriously have the cutest packaging I’ve ever seen. I’m a big fan of their eyeshadow palettes (one of my personal favourites being The Proof is in The Pudding). They’ll soon be launching a skincare line and I can’t wait to try it out.

DEHV Candle Co.

These candles aren’t your run-of-the-mill scented candles, these candles offer you an experience, they take you on an adventure. They’re made from non-GMO soy wax and come in biodegradable packaging, so not only are these candles good for your senses but also for Mother Earth. Some of my personal fave scents from them are: Soiree, Cocoon, and Wander.

Hummingway

If you or a friend find yourselves suffering from menstrual cramps, this company offers you some of the best natural relief there is. You can check out my review of the product here, but to give you a quick lowdown of how these menstrual patches work and how effective they are: one set of patches give you 24 hours of relief which is basically what 8 painkillers did in the same amount of time for me. It’s the perfect gift for yourself or your bestie.

The Sill

If you have a friend (or you love plants) but have issues keeping them alive, then this site is perfect for you! They have the cutest fuss-free houseplants that help brighten any office space or home.

Product Review: Hummingway The Cycle Soother

1 Comment

Hummingway is founded by actress Ashley Greene (best known for her role as Alice in the Twilight series) and her sister-in-law, Olivia Khoury. The company’s mission is to deliver solutions for menstrual discomfort using science-based backed research and natural ingredients.

What It Is: Adhesive Patches

What It Does: Helps with period cramps/general discomfort

Active Ingredients: Hemp derived CBD, Vitamin E, Lemongrass Essential Oil, Chinese Ginger Essential Oil, Black Pepper Essential Oil, and Menthol

Verdict: I’ll be honest, I was somewhat skeptical that these patches would actually work for me because I’ve always suffered from very debilitating cramps to the point that there are days where I can’t do anything but stay in bed the whole day. Sometimes, even painkillers haven’t been enough (which I started taking when I got my first job cause obviously, I couldn’t take sick leave every month).

For optimal results, you should put the Cycle Soother on prior to your period starting or at least prior to symptoms starting. Now, obviously, I never follow directions so I actually put the patches on after some slight cramps had already started but hadn’t gotten that bad yet so I figured I was still in a good window of time for it to work. Usually, with painkillers you have to wait 30-45 minutes or so before you get some relief, however, I was surprised that these patches actually worked within a few minutes. The awesome thing is that they last for 24 hours and you don’t have to worry about them coming off at any point during the day (even in the shower) as they’re very adhesive.

Apart from giving relief from cramps, these patches also help with bloating (at least for me). So if you’re looking for an alternative to painkillers and wanting to use something with natural ingredients (that in the long term are better for your body), then I absolutely recommend this as it is efficient and delivers on its promise.

Price: $29 (4-patches per pouch)
