Let’s be real - the holidays may be fun, but they’re also hectic. With last-minute shopping, endless social events, and squeezing in work, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. And when your period decides to join the festivities? Total buzzkill. But don’t worry, we got you!

1. rae: Your Holiday Go-To

Whether you’re hitting a holiday party, rushing through a packed shopping centre, or chilling with the fam, one accessory deserves a permanent spot on your must-have list: rae Heat Pad. Ditch the bulky heat packs and embrace sleek, wireless warmth that fits right into your on-the-go life. With rae’s flexible wings and soothing heat, just tuck it into your Scarlet Period Pocket Undies, switch it on, and feel the tension melt away.

2. Stay Hydrated, Always

It’s easy to get swept up in the holiday hustle and forget the basics - like staying hydrated. But trust us, hydration is key to managing period symptoms like bloating, fatigue, and headaches. While those holiday cocktails are tempting (and totally deserved!), make sure to balance them out with plenty of water. For an extra boost, sip on warm herbal teas packed with ginger and peppermint.

3. Movement Is Magic

We get it - when cramps hit, the last thing you want is to move. But a little light exercise can actually work wonders for period pain and stress relief. Try some gentle yoga stretches or a brisk walk around the block to get your blood flowing and release those feel-good endorphins. Poses like Child’s Pose and Reclined Butterfly are particularly soothing for cramps, easing tension in your lower back and abdomen.

4. More Magnesium

If there’s one wellness tip to swear by this season, it’s magnesium. Known for its muscle-relaxing and calming properties, magnesium is a total lifesaver during your period. Try the Magnesium+ Spray for quick relief. Just spritz it on your abdomen or lower back, and let the soothing blend of magnesium and arnica do its thing.

5. Prioritise Sleep. No, Really

Holiday excitement often leads to late nights and early mornings, but sacrificing sleep can make your period symptoms worse. Cramps, fatigue, and mood swings hit harder when you’re running on empty. So, aim for a full night’s rest whenever you can. Create a relaxing nighttime routine - light some candles, soak in a Scarlet Soothing Suds Bubble Bath, and slip into some cute loungewear. You deserve it!
