I Swapped Out My Chunky Sweatpants For These Instead
As temperatures rise quickly while we are still kind of stuck at home, my outfit choices have gone from warm and chunky to loose and flowy as I deal with this summer's latest heat wave. I still love an oversized approach to my everyday outfits as 'comfortable, but make it fashion' is my life's goal, but with warmer weather comes slight adjustments to staying cool and cozy.
Satin is the perfect alternative to create a chic lightweight leisure look for practically every occasion this season. As we put away our warm weather essentials, here's a guide to keeping cool and comfortable in my new favorite pant style.

Find a neutral colored statement top to pair with your satin pants for a feminine and modern yet earthy mix up. This 'fit is perfect to lounge around in alone or with friends, and you'll feel light as a feather while gracefully enjoying both the great in and outdoors. Perfect for a cute summer day, wear a simple sandal to complete this comfy chic outfit.

I love the tied sweatshirt look so I decided to give it another try with my satin pants for an elevated sporty feel. Is there anything better than a tank top during the warmest of weather? Pair with a knit crop top while adding a casual sneaker or Birkenstock sandal for an even cozier summer look.

This summer I'm living my best leisure life and coming with the looks to match, ready to hop on a yacht or set sail towards the sea for a much-needed baecation. I am loving these satin pants with an open button down paired with a printed cami or bikini top for the perfect cover up. Accessorizing with a gold chain belt for a pop of vintage, this look is the definition of unbothered.

As women, experiencing period pain is an all-too-familiar aspect of our lives. From mild discomfort to debilitating cramps, the aches of our flow can significantly impact our daily routines and overall well-being.
Getting our menstrual pain under control can prove to benefit us throughout the days of our period, but it can also enhance our lifestyle and alleviate us from being bound to our bedside as cramps, bloating, and headaches subside. While the discomfort we experience before and during our cycle comes with the experience of being a woman, it shouldn’t have power over how productive and well we feel during our cycle.
As we take care of our bodies during our period through proper rest, exercise, and eating well, we become better equipped to handle period pain and maintain a positive mindset. Still, it’s nice to know that there are capsules on the market that can give us the relief we need to reclaim control over our well-being during that time of the month.
That’s why we’ve provided 8 supplements that alleviate period pain, restore balance during your menstrual cycle, and allow you to embrace a happier and (less painful) flow.
