Every woman has an embarrassing period story. It's happened to all of us at some point and it’s something that you will not be able to protect your daughter from either. You can, however, prepare her for what to expect when she starts menstruating so that you alleviate her concern about the unknown and set her up for awareness. You can also open up the conversation, and remind her a period isn’t something to be embarrassed about! 

This conversation is another opportunity to build a bond of trust that will make it easier for her to confide in you about the things on her mind. 

Happy St. Paddy’s Day All! 

It is hard to celebrate this fun, cultural day while being cooped up inside your home, but now more than ever we need a burst of healthy foods, rich in nutrients that are not only great for our immune system but, when blended together, delivers a pretty festive green smoothie!

In the spirit of Women's History Month, this week we want to talk about organizations that help advance females in entrepreneurial roles as well as ways you can help by donating your time and career experience. There are many organizations worldwide that exist in helping women-led businesses get their feet off the ground or helping women further themselves in their careers. 

This week marks a week dedicated to raising awareness around a condition that affects many women at some level, Endometriosis. 

From time to time, every woman suffers from painful cramps or other side effects during their menstrual cycles. However, according to health.com, around 10% of women of childbearing age have more severe problems caused by Endometriosis. 

It is National Random Acts of Kindness week and we encourage all to participate this week, whether the gesture is a big one or various small ones throughout the week, any kind act is welcomed.

In the late 1970s, the world first learned about Toxic Shock Syndrome, or TSS, when women across the United States were diagnosed. Super-absorbency tampons with synthetic fibers had recently become available and they were being used for longer stretches. 

Changes in how tampons are made coupled with more awareness have reduced the occurrence of TSS, but it still affects women, mostly those aged 15-25 who use tampons. To protect yourself against the dangers of Toxic Shock Syndrome, it's important to first understand what it is.

Every year, April 10th is a day set aside to dote on your sisters or brothers. National Siblings Day offers ample opportunity to bond with your siblings. If you’re a big sister, it’s also a great time to have that one-on-one period conversation with little sis.

It’s National Public Health Week (NPHW) where each day has a daily health theme.

According toNPHW, daily themes are as follows:

NPHW 2019 DAILY THEMES

Monday —Healthy Communities

Tuesday —Violence Prevention

Wednesday —Rural Health

Thursday —Technology and Public Health

Friday —Climate Change

Saturday and Sunday —Global Health

Like fingerprints, every woman’s body is unique. So is her menstrual flow. Finding the right tampon fit not only assures the wearer of comfort but also helps to avoid potential accidents. In addition to finding the appropriate tampon for your menstrual needs, purchasing the right feminine hygiene product is just as important. After all, the ingredients in your tampon should not be harmful to your health.

Compassionately empowering and helping women in need is at the core of our heartfelt mission through Project Every Woman at The Veeda Foundation. For this year’s International Women's Day on March 8th we’re sharing a touching story of a young woman in Zambia who became empowered as a result of our global charitable efforts through our partnership with World Vision. A faith-based humanitarian global organization, World Vision helps families, children and impoverished communities in need, and Veeda is proud to support their impactful mission.

March 8, 2019, marks International Women's Day, a day to celebrate fabulous women around the world. While we've come a long way regarding women rights, more improvements need to be made in terms of gender equality for all women, across the globe.

It’s difficult enough understanding our menstrual cycle, let alone the difference between PMS (Premenstrual Syndrome) and PMDD (Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder). PMS and your period go hand in hand. In terms of PMS, some women are lucky and don’t get it at all. However, 3 out of 4 women experience PMS symptoms. This equates to 75 percent of women experience premenstrual syndrome. Meanwhile, less than 5 percent of women in childbearing age complain of having worse symptoms.

If you’re a little unsure about how your reproductive cycle works, you’re not alone. One UK study showed that one in four women didn’t understand their menstrual cycle. Likewise, 58 percent, that’s more than half of women across the country, are embarrassed to talk about their period and 42 percent experiencing period shaming.

It’s love month, and if you’re one that dreads February 14th because you’re oh-so single, it doesn’t mean you can’t celebrate. Hey, who says you can’t enjoy Valentine’s Day with the girls?

It’s the month of love, when our hearts celebrate the significant other in our lives. Whether you’re single, dating, or hitched, February is much more than just the anticipated month for romantic hopefuls it’s also Heart Health awareness month and it draws attention, specifically, to a woman’s heart.
