Want to get rid of those awful menstrual mood swings?

This might be just what you need.

We’ve all had those days where we wake up feeling like our uterus might burst. You just want to stay in bed all day and watch some romcoms, eat a bunch of chocolates and cry your heart out.

Hormones can get on your nerves!

It seems like the menstrual Gods (or Goddesses) have finally heard our prayers. Moon cycle bakery, situated in Olympia, Washington has a Kickstarter funded project that was evidently created  to offer hormone balancing treats for women to ease their shark week. They’ll be offering a monthly subscription where you’ll get a care package right when you need it.

It’s official: we have one week left in our Kickstarter campaign and we need your help! Right now, we are 78% funded and are seriously close to hitting our goal of $15k. Having your support to help Moon Cycle Bakery launch would mean the world (and moon) to us. We’ve spent the last 16-months perfecting our recipes, building our team, and developing our mobile app and we're ready to take Moon Cycle Bakery to the next level. This includes continuing our recipe development (with the amazing @rachlmansfield!), renting a commercial kitchen, ordering packaging, finalizing our app and collaborating with industry experts to continue to share knowledge with our community (I'm looking at you, sweets). Your support will ultimately help us to grow our partnerships, expand our product base and create rich content full of education, creativity, and emotion.

This is what they say in their mission for opening up this amazing bakery.

MOON CYCLE BAKERY® WAS FOUNDED WITH A SIMPLE MISSION: TO HELP WOMEN REDEFINE THEIR “TIME OF THE MONTH.”

We’re a baked goods delivery service encouraging individuals to celebrate the magic that lives within their cycle. We know this time of the month can be challenging, but we also know this time offers enhanced creativity, a stronger connection to our intuition, and an opportunity to shed layers – both literally and figuratively. And that calls for a celebration.

Once a month, we deliver delicious treats that that not only taste good – but hug your body with carefully selected, hormone-supportive ingredients designed to nourish you from the inside out. We’ve created our own period tracking app so that we have deeper insight into your cycle. Irregular?order our one-time package! Every 28 days?Pre-order with us so that we can show up on your doorstep before your expected date.

At Moon Cycle Bakery®, we believe the days of resenting our cycle are over. We want your Moon Cycle treat to serve as a quiet reminder for you to celebrate the art of being a woman, rather than wish it away. Because at the end of the day, you deserve to rest, replenish, and recognize the moon dust that lives inside of your bones.

Impressive, right?

As they explain on their website, the name of their bakery has evolved from the word “Menustration” which comes from the Greek word “Menus” meaning both moon and power, and “Men” meaning month.

They also told us a little about the ingredients they use.

Their chocolate cups sweetened with ginger and honey contains magnesium, which is a key nutrient we lose while we menstruate. They also offer gluten free raspberry black bean brownie with primrose full of vitamin c, iron, calcium, magnesium and omega-6, all of which we lose during our period and which helps us maintain that balance we need.

I found the matcha coconut bites the most thoughtful goody as it contains fibre and omega-3 which help us with the sickening cramps and other PMS symptoms.

At Moon Cycle, we don't take what we put into our bodies lightly; in fact we're big believers that we can feel more alive, have more patience with ourselves and the world around us and boogie a bit harder if we're conscious about what we put into our bodies. Because of this, we’re always on the hunt for the freshest ingredients and highest quality brand names. You can rest assured that every treat you receive has been baked with wholesome, high quality ingredients (and a little moon dust for good measure.)⠀ 📸: @_foodstories_

We’ve said this before and we’ll say it again: cramps ain’t no joke! Over on the blog, wellness expert, Katie Lemons (@twist_of_lemons) walks us through how to conquer cramps head on during the week of our cycle. Part one of her blog discusses the foods and supplements we should be adding to our diet, including ginger, zinc sulfate, fennel, cinnamon. She then gives us the deep dive on foods to remove from our diet, including omega-6 fatty acids, saturated and trans fats, processed foods, and refined carbohydrates. Looking for a cramp free week?
