Hello beautiful,

It's Katie bringing you another week of tips, hints, styles, and trends to help you look and feel your best!

If there is one thing that I could absolutely live without it's the intense migraines I experience. I can typically feel one coming on a day or two before it finally hits me and when it does, it turns me into a completely different person. If you are someone who also experiences dreaded migraines, hopefully today's Looking Good finds you well.

Until we meet again,
Katie

*-- How Do You Handle Migraines?--*

Ok, I know this is crazy but did you know that too much or too little sleep could help bring on a migraine? After connecting some dots, I realized a lot of my migraines start in the middle of the night. It is important to pay attention to how sleep connects to the symptoms of your migraines. Tossing and turning and even over used pillows can trigger a migraine.

Have a cup of coffee or tea because even a little bit of caffeine can help. When taken in the early stages of a migraine, caffeine could put it to a halt. It could even help the benefit of ibuprofen or acetaminophen but you want to make sure that you do not over-do it on the caffeine. Too much of it could lead to withdrawal headaches if you try to have less of it.

Certain food are a sure trigger to migraines. Aged cheese, certain fruits, alcohol, or pickled food can lead to migraines. If you have suspicion that food might be a culprit, I suggest keeping a food journal and to figure out which foods are bothering you.

Simply try heat or cold. A cold compress on the back of your neck or head can dull pain signals. I have been using this Ice Pack because it's extremely convenient. I just load it up with ice when I am in pain and just store it away until I need it again. Using heat from a heating pad or taking a hot shower can relax tight muscles but going back and forth between hot and cold every 15-20 minutes until your symptoms subside can also bring relief.
