Hey , 1. FAVORITE FIND OF THE WEEK: We are currently traveling abroad, so TBH I havenâÂÂt started using this (yet). But, after reviewing all the research, I am super excited to fill this prescription the MOMENT I land back in the States. Lately, my DMs have been flooded with messages asking about things like vaginal dryness, painful sex, UTIs, and other unpleasant changes happening âÂÂdown there.â ðÂÂÂł This is a hot topic, with a potentially simple solution: vaginal estrogen. As hormones decline, our tissues and collagen production change, leading to inflammation. Declining estrogen can cause thinning vaginal tissues, dryness, and disrupted PH balance. Here's the lowdown on vaginal estrogen cream: Estradiol cream is an FDA-approved, safe, and effective plant-based, bio-identical hormone treatment that can alleviate vaginal dryness, itching, painful sex, frequent UTIs, and more issues caused by declining hormones. You will need a prescription, and the cost appears to be between $40 and $80 for a 3-month supply (often covered by insurance). Having trouble finding a good hormone doc? Try [MidiHealth]() or [Alloy]()! = This cream delivers estrogen right where it's needed: directly to your vaginal tissues. Oral or patch estrogen affects your whole system, which some women are not candidates for. Estrogen cream helps thicken and make your vaginal walls more elastic, which can alleviate dryness and irritation. It also increases blood flow by stimulating nitric oxide production, leading to healthier and greater sexual arousal for some. Estrogen helps produce collagen for healthy tissues and maintains proper acidic pH in the vagina, promoting good bacteria and protecting against UTIs and infections. All of this can mean less discomfort during and after sex. It has also been found to help with urinary symptoms like frequency and leaks when you sneeze. Used as directed, the cream has minimal systemic absorption, resulting in fewer side effects compared to oral estrogen. As with all hormone therapy, you also need a healthy dose of patience. The cream works gradually, with most women seeing significant improvement in a few weeks and continued benefits over several months. So, ladies, donâÂÂt shy away from the conversation about vaginal health. Understanding and using vaginal estrogen cream can significantly improve your physical and sexual health, making sex enjoyable again. It's all about feeling fabulous at every stage of life! 2. WHAT I'M WATCHING: If you loved the music of the 90âÂÂs or grew up on MTV, youâÂÂll love [this documentary]()! This one dives deep into one of my all-time favorite 90s girl groups, TLC. We're talking about a comprehensive history featuring the fabulous Tionne 'T-Boz' Watkins and Rozonda 'Chilli' Thomas, with clips from the late Lisa âÂÂLeft Eyeâ Lopes. The two remaining members (T-Boz and Chilli) take us through the wild ride of their careers and, of course, the band's journey. But hereâÂÂs the biggest takeaway for me: the priceless gift of loyalty. One of the standout examples for me was witnessing the unwavering love, support, and true loyalty of their longtime manager, Bill Diggins. Good people do exist in the industry. YouâÂÂll fall head over heels for these women, their story, and their unbreakable bond. Sure, I was a fan of their music, but I had no idea about the many successes and crazy controversies they went through. This 2-hour documentary is the first time T-Boz and Chilli really dig into their mega-successful and often controversial careers. They talk about balancing the chaos of professional life with personal life while being thrust into international fame as mere teenagers. They open up about personal battles, the death of Left Eye, the challenges of touring again, and the importance of family. I absolutely love seeing these two talented and wise women take a moment to recognize and honor their impact and incredible success. So yummy!! 3.
