PMS or princess?
June 24, 2009 |

A male friend asked me recently if PMS was just an excuse for women. "Excuse for what?" I asked. "You know, so a woman can be more…difficult, than usual."
Since when do we need an excuse? I jest, of course, but PMS is complex and an area of female health that is rife with misconceptions. It is also an area women feel embarrassed to talk about and partners can feel unsure how to broach.
I spoke with Nirala Jacobi about this. Nirala is a qualified healthcare practitioner with over 10 years experience. She recently wrote this article on PMS to help women have a more thorough understanding of what is happening in their bodies when experiencing PMS and how you can manage this both effectively and naturally.

Misunderstanding versus Miss Understanding
Recently I was introduced to a woman. Within the first five minutes of meeting, she insulted me.
I stared ahead for a few seconds processing what had been said, trying to decide whether I had misheard. I was too close to mishear though, so wanting to defend myself I said, "I’m sorry but could you explain what you meant by that, because it sounded a little….strange." I was thinking ‘rude’ but ‘strange’ came out of my mouth instead, perhaps because it was less confrontational.

Feeling beautiful?
For those looking for some great new reading, there is a young Brisbane woman, Sophee McPhee, who has just launched a magazine called QCG Magazine (Queensland Calander Girls).
The magazine is refreshingly distinctive, targeting a more mature audience and focusing on celebrating real women. Based on the inspirational and heart-warming box office hit, Calendar Girls (starring Helen Mirren & Julie Walters), QCG Magazine was developed to connect, inspire and celebrate all women. Their philosophy is, "skin – not plastic", and the pages are filled with real stories from real women.
