  • Ugh. So sorry AF showed up. Big hugs to you. It's good you are pampering yourself. You deserve it. I got AF the other day...the first thing I did was grab a glass of wine (at 10am lol). Sometimes wine makes things a tad easier. Continue to pamper yourself :)

  • Every time I get a BFN, I buy myself a present, or splurge on one guilt free food item (pizza and milkshakes anyone?!)  It's rewarding myself for the hardwork, and it helps spin my mood from pessimism to optimism!  Just hopefully means the start of another try! Enjoy the wine!
