Good Morning!

My name is Angela and I am the creator of the MintaPause Collection. 

Please take a moment, and allow me to share my story.

 Eight years ago, walking down Time Square in New York during late October, in freezing weather, I became hot and then over taken with heat inside my body. I started taking my scarf and coat off, only to hear my husband, ask 'What are you doing, it's freezing out here!" I replied, 'I don't know, but I am HOT!"   A few minutes passed, and I realized, it was freezing and I quickly put all my clothes back on. It's amazing how I remember the exact time and place my hot flashes started.

Once every hour on the hour, at night, deep intense hot flashes, which would last anywhere from 3 to 5 minutes would interrupt my sleep.  I would actually see every number on the clock, all through the night. With the ceiling fan, the window air conditioner unit, small fan at my head and a stand up fan on side of my bed with absolutely no relief! The struggle was REAL!  I would pray to God, "God, please don't let me die having this hot flash".  My husband would be freezing at night. He did not fully understand, and neither did I, what was happening.  In fact, he would be researching menopause, while I would be having a hot flash. I knew about night sweats. I would sleep through the night sweats, and just wake up in the morning, in a puddle of water.  But, these hot flashes will wake you up. 

My OBGYN, put me on hormone pills - the lowest dose, every other night. Finally, the hot flashes were under control. Two years later, I was diagnosed with heart disease and had to stop taking them. Once again room had to be made in my life for my personal summers, every hour, during the day and night. Did I mentioned, the struggle was REAL! 

Every older female, I would talk to, I would ask, "how did you survive?"  Some would say, 'Oh, honey, you will just have to endure."  I would reply in my mind...JUST ENDURE! SHE CRAZY.  I've had some to tell me, they never had any hot flashes.  I would tell them, I was so happy for them, not to have to endure this miserable time. There were all types of suggestions for me to try from over the counter meds, black cohosh, soy, and chia seeds.  I would try every one with no success. The older women would tell me to try putting a foot out from under the cover, a bucket of ice next to my bed, or sleeping straight up; nothing seemed to help.  It would be so hot at night, my knees could not touch.  I would reach over to touch my husband, and he would say, "please get those hot 'A' hands off me, or please move your hot feet.  It seemed as though, my pet did not like me rubbing or picking her up.  And I often wonder, is it because my hands are hot. 

I also noticed the hot flashes would double in the intensity and length, if I had a candy bar, a sip (yes, only a sip) of wine, or stressed out.  These were my triggers. Oh and don't let me bake something in the oven and open the oven - OH, My!!! It would throw me straight into a hot flash. Needless to say, I don't bake any more. I no longer wanted to take a hot soothing bath in the tub. That would be too much heat and I was afraid of passing out just from the steam.

Finally, I received a tip, which prompted me to do my own research, thus leading to an experiment.

After trying my find, the first night, I slept 4 hours before waking up, with a hot flash.  Oh, My GOD!!!  I have NOT slept for more than an hour straight in 2 years. The next morning, I continued to research and created a recipe, which kept my hot flashes at bay and they did not come as often after I started spraying my neck with the recipe.  

My first thought was there are women, suffering like me who could benefit from my concoction. And here we are with a full line of relief for you. Sprays, lotion, body butter, bath salts and sleep aid to help you stay cool and relaxed. 

I hope you "Get your comfort back' with the MintaPause Collection created by A Mother's Love Continues, LLC.
