Shopping is an absolute pleasure for many of us. And how easy has it become to have almost\u00a0 anything your heart desires with online <\/span>shopping<\/span>. Not to mention same day deliveries for some stores.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Or how about having lunch or dinner with your nearest and dearest. Is that a special time for you to socialize without a care in the world?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

And when you need something specific \u2014 online or offline, do you shop intentionally? Looking at things with a keen eye before committing to buy?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

We looked at several studies to find out the phenomenon of why women tend to spend more money during different times of their cycle. We also dug deeper to find out <\/span>what<\/span><\/i> they wanted to spend their money on and when.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

But before we dive into these studies, let\u2019s understand the basics of the menstrual cycle\u2026\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
