What happens to the women who undergo severe, debilitating pain at that time of the month? Who's hearing them out?⁣ ⁣ Which is why when @ovira got in touch with me to try their Noha device I immediately said yes. It's time I spoke about periods on this platform.⁣ ⁣ The device is a drug free, non invasive and completely safe method of eliminating menstrual pain. I loved the fact that it's super lightweight and easy to use. I tried the Noha the over the last few days and I can say it definitely does work! I could feel the pain reducing within the first 30 minutes of usage.⁣ ⁣ And I love the fact that they have a 100 day risk-free trial because no two women are the same. And no two periods are the same either.⁣ ⁣ #MenstrualHealth #Ovira #Gifted

And I can proudly say the first bite of my meal from Armenian Bistro instantly transported me to a beautiful meal that I enjoyed with Lake Sevan in the distance. Swipe for pictures. ➡️⁣ ⁣ Looking to try a new cuisine that stays true to it's roots? I'd recommend Armenian Bistro!
