Menstruation Celebration! A 1st period welcome fit for a Goddess!

I remember that day well: the spotted tissue... my initial shock... the surprise on my mom's face... the rush to get the StayFree lesson in before I had to leave for school.

My first period was all fat sanitary napkins and sympathetic tones from my mom. And of course, the big womanhood talk, "Well you've got your period now. You know you can get pregnant. Don't be out there messing around with sex."

OK, so my 1st period experience won't be making it into any pubertal anthologies, but it's mine, so I'll never forget it. When my own daughter had her first period, I'm not sure if her experience was much better than mine (my fault of course). There was nothing special about it. Which is probably the way it is for most girls. You get it. You slap on a pad. You move on.

But the days of the slap-and-go may soon be a thing of the past. Thanks to Marianne Impal and her Red Goddess Celebration Boxes. These beautiful boxes are filled with all of the items a girl needs to welcome her first period and "celebrate her journey into womanhood."

Now, I could very easily sit here and ramble about these boxes all day (I think they're absolutely fantastic!), but why listen to me when you can hear from the woman who created them? I caught up with Marianne for a bit of Q & A.

Pop back in tomorrow for the interview, plus a chance to win a Celebration Box for your own young goddess.

Look at all those goodies. It's like a treasure chest! You know you want it. Hell, I want it! Find out how you can get it tomorrow!
