Beginning today through Sunday, be sure to stop by NYC’s first ever Period Pop-up Shop designed for women by U by Kotex in the heart of Flatiron. This special pop-up shop where women can fully embrace the world of menstruation, has a PMS-friendly comfort food bar, live performances, digital games and some fun-filled shopping. All proceeds from the event will benefit Susan’s Place, a NYC based transitional residence for homeless women. This vision that started as a simple suggestion on Tumblr by college student Sarah Michelson, will now become a reality. For details about NYC’s first ever Period Pop-up Shop by U by Kotex, see below.

Thanks for visiting my blog: Lifestyle411.net I'm currently a lifestyle contributor for Thrive Global and am Amazon Influencer. I was a contributor for Huffington Post and Examiner.com. My stories can be found at https://www.thriveglobal.com/authors/103-beverly-lim --- and huffingtonpost.com/author/beverly-lim --- I'm a super mom, wife, daughter, sister, aunt and an awesome BFF. I stay organized, thanks to my wireless assistant: smartphone, tablets, and laptop. In addition to beauty, fashion, technology and traveling, I love arts & culture, food/wine, and indulge in very much needed "me" time whenever humanly possible! Dining out, cooking/entertaining family and friends throughout the year makes me happy. I'm addicted to shopping in order to have whatever required to compliment my every mood. I enjoy a good jog, especially after a challenging work day so I can release endorphins. A great session on the treadmill or bike makes me smile from cheek to cheek, no matter how stressful of a day I had! When I'm home and after my family and pets are asleep, I pamper myself with a facial mask, hair treatment and lose myself in an aromatherapy bubble bath. It's like being on a dreamy spa getaway -- till the family wakes up and it's time for me to feed the kids, walk the dogs, to go work... I just loving sharing new finds with all those who have the desire to discover the best of the best that life has to offer!
