• 🎈 Bloating: Your jeans are judging you and your stomach feels like a balloon animal.

• 😖 Sore breasts: Even your bra is too aggressive.

• 🤕 Headaches: Your brain’s way of saying “nope.”

• 🍕 Food cravings: You’d trade your sibling for a slice of pizza.

These symptoms are usually mild to moderate—but they can still make you feel like you’re starring in a soap opera called “Hormones Gone Wild.”

• 🧘‍♀️ Try stress-busting activities like yoga, meditation, or rage-cleaning your room. 🥗 Eat balanced meals and limit salt, sugar, and caffeine (we know, we know).
