Please don't ever delete your channel! I love listening to you! Your hair is looking gorgeous these days too!

[@oliviareadsalatte]

Oh thank you! 🫶🏻🌸

[@MyLifeAsJordanRenee]

Okay this probably isn’t as weird of a period symptom but it is for me 😂 I get like either SO angry or SO sad like the kind of sad where I’m bawling and my partner is like what’s wrong and I’m like “I don’t know 😭😭😭” and I’m just inconsolable but it always happens like a week before my period so it never feels like a period symptom but I’m pretty sure it’s some part of the cycle 😂

[@MyLifeAsJordanRenee]

Also bloating is THE WORST. I’m usually very bloated for the first like 36 hours

[@jadelemonade20]

I’m not an emotional person at all so you know I’m about to start my period when I start crying over how much I love a book that I read six months ago😂😭

[@oliviareadsalatte]

okay from what I’ve seen this is the luteal phase and it’s a MESS for a lot of people!

[@melissaguild1859]

Same. Every month, without fail, I get super weepy two days before my period, Everything makes me cry

[@surpriseitsus9622]

Yep, that was typical for me. Sobbing one day, short tempered another. I'm a very mellow, zen person. It's not fun, but we get through it. 🤗

[@Shelbsesthetics]

This may be a weird comment but I honestly love you’re energy! You have such a calm but great vibe and you’re videos are always my go to comfort videos!

[@oliviareadsalatte]

awh thank you so so much 🫶🏼

[@bangfangbang]

1. Even if you stop making videos please don’t delete your channel - I love rewatching all of your videos! 2. How often do you have to get your lashes done?

[@oliviareadsalatte]

Awh that’s so kind of you 🫶🏻🫢 And I usually go every two weeks for a fill, although I’m debating doing every 3 maybe

[@Juliaplumadoree]

Wow this hair length on you really is everything! It suits you SO well

[@oliviareadsalatte]

Thank you!!

Urgh bloating is the worst, like we already deal with the rivers of hell every month why do we suffer more? haha. Great vlog as always 🍂❤

[@oliviareadsalatte]

omg saaaaaaame

[@lv23074]

My "weird symptom" is that my sense of smell gets better and I get super aware of every single scent. I just googled it, and it's an actual thing. Good to know that I'm not crazy. 😆

[@graceannreads]

When my monthly visitor comes I get what I call the “Can’t Help Its” when I don’t want to do anything but I don’t want to do nothing and I hate everyone but I don’t want to be alone. Its so annoying

[@oliviareadsalatte]

Omg I feel this!!!

[@Maroon58]

My symptom is I get insanely hungry like a week before, usually just for a day but I eat non stop lol! I love your channel and your my comfort channel and I literally cheer when I see you uploaded. With all that said, take the breaks you need! You have a full time job, pets, a home and many other things I’m sure you have to attend to.

[@kaykay13513]

[@annalisaortiz5236]

Right before my period, maybe 2-3 days before, I get this feeling of impending doom. That’s the only way to describe it! It’s intense, I feel like I’m going to die… so fun!!!

I need to read that one next!

[@chantalcote5759]

GIIRRRLLL I dk about the Abercrombie sweats, but the hollister ones look exactly the same and they are THE SOFTEST sweats you will ever put on your body! I never in my life have been so obsessed with a pair of sweatpants! Plus I think the hollister ones are cheaper. SO . GOOD!!

[@oliviareadsalatte]

Ugh it’s the worst but at least were not alone 🫶🏻

[@christy2935]

Phew, I was bored and glad this showed up early today! My weirdest period symptom is a pain in my right thigh like a week before it actually starts. I like the new glasses. Defy the Night was good. I'm actually starting the sequel (it's a trilogy) today. My TBR is almost entirely dictated by library holds, Libby in particular. This month I got a ton of new releases where if I don't read them in time or select deliver later I won't see them again for a long time.

[@oliviareadsalatte]

I’m excited to read it!!

[@chrissyfuhrie]

I’m so impressed that you can listen to a podcast while reading. I would get to so many things I want to get to if I possessed this capability. Your A&F outfit looks so cozy! 🥰

[@oliviareadsalatte]

Thank you!! And it’s usually episodes I’ve already listened to that work with that!

[@Kaitydid_Krixtur]

I excited to pick up my new glasses (first new pair/prescription in 7 yrs)

[@oliviareadsalatte]

yay new glasses!!

[@Kaitydid_Krixtur]

@@oliviareadsalatte so exciting. My prescription got worse too; my bf’s stayed the same which I thought was crazy he hasn’t had new ones in like 10 yrs. his eyesight is not as bad as mine though

[@BreeShareeReads]

Your room set up is such a vibbbeeee. 47:13

[@alexshewrote]

Hormones around that time of the month (for me especially two weeks before and like two days into the start of it) will totally make anxiety worse. Like you said in a comment below, we are all doing the best that we can and that is awesome!!! 😃

[@Sarah-ms2kx]

i don't know that my symptom is particularly weird, but maybe ill timed. i cramp and bloat like 2 weeks before, and by bloating, i mean i look about 4 months pregnant. it is SO uncomfortable, tho i am finding that yakult, probiotics, and Inositol help thankfully. also, a day or so before, i have the appetite of a bear, it's like no matter how much i eat, i still need more, i'm talking two dinners, two lunches, snacks in between and before and after, at LEAST. also your day 1 hair looked so pretty!

[@ffiontill5924]

An hour long video?? I am so ready. Got my tea and dinner. My evening sorted. Thank you Olivia!💓

@@oliviareadsalatteNo worries! Classical music always relaxes me, even when I'm feeling my most anxious and stressed.

Always so happy to see a new upload! 💛💛

[@oliviareadsalatte]

Yay! Thank you! 💛

[@raquelweber3287]

Not really a weird symptom, but around 1-2 weeks before, I start to get mood swings where I'm easily irritated and sometimes I get cramps in my toes, that's sort of weird I guess. Great video Olivia :)

[@msellenandrea]

I just got a new prescription in my glasses too, and everything is very clear and also not at the same time 😂 probably going to take a good while before the weirdness goes away!

[@jessicajacobson2337]

I like both pairs of your glasses. They look nice on you. I have the same headaches you have. The change in the barometric pressure can make my head hurt. I usually feel better after it rains. I take sinus pills. I hope you feel better. Pamper yourself you'll feel better.

[@e4mi]

23:00 Health and being perceived moment I have OCD and Endometriosis (pmdd is *so* fun...) and I think it is the hormones and mental goblins slapping you at the same time. My version is manic depressive ocd choices. I will obsess on numbers, being perceived, etc. I'm still in therapy so I have no good advice LOL but just know that you are not alone

[@oliviareadsalatte]

Hahahaha yes the brain goblins definitely get stronger during the time period! I’m in therapy too and ya know what, we’re just doing our best and that’s what counts 🫶🏻

[@neese96ify]

I'm interested in your glasses girl! I think on my next eye check I'll be getting my Golden Girls Era pair. All the nostalgia literally on my face. Heh. Anyways, also yeah thanks so much for my influencer purchase of Monin coffee syrup. I'm chuffed. Also, allergies - totally blame the weather for those headaches because I get them too & it sucks. Texas weather man, we're in this shitty alley between the weather systems from the west and the east - with zero benefits. Stay strong & give Auntie Flo double middle fingers!

My big symptoms are irrational anger. Like, I get instantly angry about the smallest things and I get big mad. Like, want to throw things or punch something mad. AND my anxiety is absolutely through the roof a week before. Like, on the verge of a panic attack for a week. And I can’t sleep the week before. It’s a great time. 😐

[@evabensia2989]

I love the libary as well, but i got the same problem. At home are waiting so many books where I spend money on, so that I always struggle with the time for library books. Mangas and Graphic Novels are great, because they don't need much time and i would never buy them on my own.

[@oliviareadsalatte]

True, I do like that you can check out books you want to read but don’t necessarily need in your personal collection!

[@choosehappinesstoday]

I don’t think mine is unusual for people with mental health issues but I get so sad, like the there’s no point sad and then swing to the everything in the world is amazing side. But I have BPD so that checks 😂
