Cramped.

I decided to put small foam rollers in my damp hair the other night. I used to do this all the time because it was the only way I could curl my hair. However, back in the day I had longer hair. Stupid me forgot that small rollers would make my hair kinky curly and I have chin length hair now. Not always a good combo. I kept telling everyone that I looked like Mo from the Three Stooges, but again, stupid me just found out that Mo has straight hair. So, I looked more like Larry. My hair was completely straight on the top and then poofy curly. The only good thing to come out of this was that I had to wear my hair up, which I haven't been able to do since I got it cut.

So, enough about my hair. It's time to get into the real purpose of this post. I found a company online (through YouTubers) that sends you a "period box" when you subscribe to them. The box includes tampons and pads of the brand of your choice, pampering products and food. There are three different sizes to choose from with one of the companies. Madame Ladybug is the company that I was most inspired by. When I saw people unboxing the stuff on YouTube, I wanted to order one right away, but I decided to give them as presents. I like to give presents to people, especially my best friend that goes to college in a different city. Then, I decided instead of wondering what will come in her box, I decided to make my own for her. What started out as one box turned into 3. And after shopping, spending money, and being creative, I had my own period box that I call "Cramped."

So, here are the contents of Cramped.

 I wanted to put paper "worms" in the boxes, but one bag of them was $1.50 at Walmart, and I was not about to spend a bunch of money on something my friends are just going to throw away. Instead, I bought construction paper and made my own. It wasn't hard, probably because I have a decent sized paper cutter. It made it a lot easier.

Below are pictures of each stage of my boxing process. Just thought you guys would want to see how I put it together.

I think I'm going to do Cramped more often. I certainly enjoyed it. (I hope y'all enjoyed seeing a sliver of my feet.) And now you know my friends' names. Oh boy.

Also, let me know if you have tried out a beauty subscription box. I really want to do one, but I'm just not sure which one. I need help deciding!
