Shmirshky: the pursuit to hormone happiness

Shmirshky: the pursuit of hormone happiness is a humorous book by E about surviving the trials & tribulations of going through perimenopause & menopause (PM&M). This book helps take the taboo out of discussing PM&M by taking it to a whole new light with laughter, facts and just plain reality. It is an easy read, but you really learn a lot. It is helpful for people dealing with PM&M and also provides assistance for those that are already experiencing menopause. A book like this really brings us back as women to the very nature of our conversations with our friends and allows you to feel that you can speak more freely now about this topic.

Shmirshky: the pursuit of hormone happiness comes with a Daily Symptoms Chart, which will help you communicate your symptoms to your doctor. Remember, reaching out is IN. Suffering in silence is OUT!

 

Personally, I am not close to PM&M but I did find the book very enlightening and informative. I feel more prepared and in all of it's humor it left me not feeling ashamed to talk about it or feel weird while writing this post. We should talk about us more as women and not just the glamourous side. I have not reached PM&M yet but I found the book informative & entertaining. The book helped me prepare for what could happen during that time in my life. It definitely put a fun twist to a normally difficult topic to talk about. I would recommend this book to both women & men for PM&M impacts us all!

5 (Fun) Menopause Definitions
By Ellen Sarver Dolgen

Here are some fun terms you can throw around to help get the conversation started
(note: I made most of these up):

1. Shmirshky – vagina; woman; female; babe.
2. Erlick – penis; man; male; dude.
3. PM&M – the entire time in a shmirshky’s life when she’s going through the perimenopause and menopause experience.
4. SUMO – the hypercritical voice inside your head.
5. “I’m fine” – the motto of the shmirshky cover-up. As I like to say, don’t hide your shmirshky under a bush. If you do, you might hear the words “I’m fine!” shouted from underneath that bush!

Now you can have serious and private discussions about perimenopause, menopause, vaginas, and penises and no one will know what you’re talking about! Shmirshky Party away!

Here is a fun clip that you might enjoy!
