In this vlog I’m taking y’all with me while I shop for my period cravings because it was that time of the month and I had literally nothing fun at home—no ice cream, no chocolate, none of it. I started at Costco (and yes, I was nervous recording in public because I hate when people stare), set a $50 budget, and immediately got tempted by all the good stuff. I grabbed my absolute favorite cereal (that one doesn’t count in my cravings budget, okay), debated the giant chocolate options, and reminded myself that if I buy a bulk box of my favorite chocolate, I will finish it way too fast. Of course, Chick-fil-A had to happen—an Oreo milkshake with a cherry on top and fries was hitting the spot, and I saved my sandwich for a cozy Netflix moment at home. My final stop was the supermarket for chocolate, but the real plot twist was finally finding the viral ice cream cups I’ve been hunting for months: mango, lemon, and peach. I was over budget, but I made an exception because they were in stock and I refused to resent myself later for not grabbing them. I also had the sweetest little run-in with kids who recognized I was vlogging, and that honestly made my whole day. The big takeaway: give yourself grace during your cycle—eat what you want, rest if you need to (I take a few days off the gym), and get back on track when you’re ready.
