PERIOD SHOP

If you follow on instagram or snapchat you probably know all about this. The Period Projects is such an amazing initiative by U by Kotex and I couldn’t be more proud to partner with them and promote their Period Pop Up shop that was this past weekend. Basically it promotes the acceptance of our little friend that comes visit us every month and makes us see it in another light. One that is actually positive, one that makes us perceive it in a shameless way. Because that’s what we need, stop the shaming, and start embracing it in real life. I have identified so many feminist movements that want to change the world’s perspective on periods, but most of them are online, on tumblr, on personal blogs, magazines, you name it. But having events like these is the way to make a difference, we laugh about it together in real life, because it won’t go anywhere and making it a taboo is not cool. See below all the craziness of the The Period Shop. It had so many cute things I swear I hyperventilated the moment I got in and I literally wanted everything. I mean, can we all get the “This is my period sweatshirt”. Read more about this movement here.

100% of proceeds from the pop-up go to Susan’s Place charity, to privde clothing, food, shelter, and support for women in need.

Si me siguen en instagram y snapchat probablemente ya saben todo sobre este post. Los Period Projects son una iniciativa de U by Kotex que me parecio increible y no pude estar mas feliz de trabajar con ellos para promocionar su Period Pop Up el fin de semana pasado! Basicamente promueve la aceptacion de nuestro amiguito que nos visita todos los meses y nos hace verlo de una manera completamente distinta… Una manera mas normal y positiva… sin ningun tipo de verguenza o pena.  Es que necesitamos eso, parar de avergonzarnos y aceptar hablar sobre el tema en la vida real. He visto muchos movimientos feministas que quieren cambiar la perspectiva del mundo en cuanto al periodo pero la mayoria son online, en tumblr, en blogs personales, en revistas, etc… pero jamas he visto un evento, un lugar en donde deja de ser un taboo y nos reimos en persona . Abajo pueden ver lo que fue la locura del Period Shop. Tenia tantas cosas chistosas y bellas para llevar.  Me queria comprar todo! Realmente creo que todas deberiamos tener ese sweatshirt que dice “This is my period sweatshirt” jaja, seria increible. Pueden leer mas sobre este movimiento aca.
