<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">I was kindly invited by <a href="http://www.kloriscbd.com/" target="_blank">Kloris CBD</a> to come and hear about their oils, balms and range of cannabidiol products at the wonderful <a href="https://www.babingtonhouse.co.uk/" target="_blank">Babington House</a>. Some might say that CBD products are controversial. But let's get something straight. These products do not contain THC which is the compound responsible for giving you that 'pink sky I am high' feeling.. CBD has been scientifically proven to aid a number of health concerns, but unfortunately not enough research has been done yet so we can only really take case studies and experiences of patients and users subjectively. </span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">I have been a long term sufferer of hormonal acne which seems to have gotten worse after having kids. I have also suffered on and off with hyperthyroidism since puberty. My hormonal imbalance has been known to flair up too. </span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">So naturally after hearing about all these amazing benefits I was eager to buy it and try it out for myself. </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">I purchased the balm to apply topically to my skin at night as well as the 1000mg oil to take orally every day. </span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">I waited a while to post this blog post as I wanted to try it out myself. Its not a cheap product and so really I would only recommend as a purchase for those who really want to try solve and supplement an ongoing health issue. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">So far, my skin is suffering far less from breakouts, I am sleeping more soundly, my general wellbeing is good and I am just generally a lot more relaxed and less tense. I go through bouts of anxiety, especially when I am stressed with work or the kids and I seem to respond a lot more calmer to the elements around me. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">It's only been a couple of months, and I have completely finished my bottle of oil. I would take 1-2 drops under my tongue every morning but I shared this bottle with my other half so naturally it was going to be used up a lot quicker. I still apply the balm every night and I love mixing it with my rosehip oil in the evenings. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">They did also kindly send me some complimentary bath bombs which I haven't yet tried out. Being a mum of 3 doesn't allow much for times to have quiet baths in the evening but its on my bathroom shelf awaiting a quiet evening with a cup of tea. </span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">I can't say that this kind of product works for everyone. But what I will say, is that as an alternative therapy I am all for using plant based products and this one ticks all the boxes for me. For anyone interested in using it, </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">I would definitely recommend</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"> to </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">do some research and see if this might be the right product for you. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;">On a side note I have heard interesting feedback from mums who have said that it helped with morning sickness. Obviously I am not condoning using CBD while pregnant but there is nothing to suggest that it's unsafe and if it means not using high strength anti sickness pills then surely a naturally derived product is far safer. Obviously consult your GP first. </span></span><br />

This is not a sponsored post or an AD just a product that I really like and felt it was worth sharing. I must also make mention that there are a lot of bogus CBD products out there with little to no CBD content and its worth checking out the grade and spectrum of each of the products. Kloris has a guarantee on all their oils and balms and are rigorously tested by third party labs and are made using organically farmed European grown Cannabis Sativa L. hemp. </span></span><br />

Immediately I knew it had to be these. You know when a pair of shoes jumps out at you and just makes you happy to look at them.<br>
<br>
They are even happier to wear. There is something very 'espadrilly' about them with a thin layer of seagrass and a 'flatformed' rubber sole, they put a bounce in your walk and add the slightest height too. They are super comfortable, even for a high arched, wide footed one like me.<br>

This would have been my 5th Paul Smith sale, and every year I always manage to pick up the best deals. This jacket and bag were one of my happiest winter purchases. Only shame I got them towards the end of the season.<br>

It was fantastic to already see the shop buzzing at 10am this morning, and already I can see it as a "hub" for us mums and dads to hang out in. Yes that's right, its not just a store, but a great little hangout hub, with coffee tables, an honesty bar, large play area for the kids and an even bigger bathroom and changing area. I don't think there is one thing that Molly hasn't thought about in making it a pleasant shopping experience for us parents.<br>

With our new wardrobes in place and looking fabulous, I was desperately on the hunt for some lovely pull handles to complete the look but couldn't find anything affordable or fitting to what I was looking for. However, after a late night trawl through pinterest I found some similar handles and thought, this is something I can totally recreate! Here are some step by step instructions to create leather pull handles for your wardrobe, kitchen or bathroom or a simple upcycling project.<br>

The layering possibilities are endless. Lets face it, its pretty nice to cover up the bump and get cozy. No mid summer heat waves to contend with. But lots of rain. This vintage mac from Rokit Vintage in Soho has been one of those purchases I keep pulling out time after time.The wideleg stripe pants from TopShop I bought in a size 12 to cope with my expanding waistline.<br>

I recently treated myself to some new everyday makeup and beauty products and thought I would share them with you as they have just been amazing. I tend to be a bit of a make up hoarder but recently have dialed it down a bit, as I am just too busy for makeup these days. I have also totally gone off heavy make up. In fact I tend to hate seeing women with too much makeup on. But these products, are light, quick to apply and make my makeup look totally natural.<br>

<br>
Winter is coming.. Its a fact. However for most of October I have officially been in denial about it and refusing to pull out my scarves and hats just yet or put away my key summer pieces.<br>
That being said, school runs in the morning have been that little bit extra chilly so thought I should find myself a good maternity jacket to cover this enormous bump of mine that simply refuses to fit into any of my zippered or buttoned coats. So here is an edit of some of the ones I have found this season. Dare I say, I found it difficult to even find 6 jackets. The market is desperate for some maternity wear brands to think outside the box and stay ahead with the trends. These jackets are great and timeless but what if us mums want something a little different.. we could do with some more options when it comes to colour and style.<br>

School holidays is almost over and while I have been tearing my hair out and chasing my tail and feeling generally overwhelmed with keeping up with blog posts, managing to do 3 meals a day and create fun activities and memorable moments for them, I know I will look back in disappointment that I didn't take the time to enjoy the moments more. I will never get this time back. Every day I notice how much my boys are growing and just how quickly its passing us by when you spend too much time worrying about the small things and getting too caught up in everyday life. What better way than to keep time standing still then in some lovely photographs to cherish forever? </div>

I am completely blown away by the choice of wallpaper out there and completely baffles me to see how people can still by those horrendous rolls of paper on selection at hardware stores when there is so much choice available to you on the internet. You may not fancy the ones I have selected in Part One or here in Part Two but I hope I have guided you to some amazing online retailers from around the world where no doubt you will find the most perfect wallpaper for your children's bedrooms. </i></span><br>

<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">I love a stripped wall look seen here at one of my favourite house <a href="http://www.dursladefarmhouse.co.uk/" target="_blank">Durslade Farmhouse</a>, but lets be honest, its not something that the kids are gonna enjoy looking at when they are falling off to sleep at night.</span><br />

As Summer is making a slow and steady approach, I have been busy planning a little mothers escape. Yep thats right, a little solo escape on my own. Slightly terrified with how much I will miss my little ones and the darling husband, but equally I know how stretched, overworked, and stressed I am at the moment. I am totally in need of some time to myself, to read a book (its been more than a year since I last read a good book)some good quality yoga, meditation and relaxation and a lot of time focusing on what I want to achieve in the next few years.<br>
The exciting part of going on holiday is packing away your favourite key summer pieces, and making a break for somewhere warm and relaxing.<br>

Living in the northern hemisphere means that we need to take every bit of light we can get, especially during the colder months and normally the best way to do this is to make our windows as big as possible and paint our walls, ceilings and floors as white or light as possible.</div>

A wonderful day at the Polo Cup. Will definitely come again and loved the relaxed atmosphere in comparison to some other Polo events I have been to. Excuse the quality of some of the pics.. the phone came in handy when the camera battery failed me.<br />
<br />
<br />
Absolutely loved wearing my new 'jumpsuit' dress to the Polo - the mid length arms covered me from the sun and the loose fit was perfect for a hot day. Totally happy with my new purchase. Is an awesome maternity piece too for any mums to be..<br />

No, its not because I have lost interest, or can't come up with content, in fact I have so many blog posts and projects I have wanted to share these past few months but can't for the life of me find the time. Find the time to listen to my children, to play with my children without any distractions, take them to football practice, to not always be on my phone, but equallly find the time to be someone else other than mum. To have a creative career, continue with my projects, but also create a beautiful home with delicious home cooked meals. Time to basically have it all. That perfect work/life balance without feeling like you are constantly chasing time and most importantly you are giving your children the time they deserve.<br>

We are taking it rather slow this week, seems our chocolate induced comas have decided to hang around a lot longer than we anticipated - and the chocolate shelf is still brimming with eggs and Lindt chocolate bunnies. Here is a really easy activity to do for the kids, especially if you don't want them eating their own body weight in chocolate. H loves a good hunt. So thats what we did, we planned a easter hunt in the garden with a big chocolate prize at the end.<br>

Yes you heard that correct, Flamingoes in Shepton Mallet. We had one very excited 4 year old that morning who couldn't wait to meet the newest tenants at Kilver Court - George, Ivy, Ken and Olive. If you are thinking about what to do this weekend and in you are in the Somerset area - we highly recommend a visit to Kilver Court Garden Nursery. Theres something for everyone and the kids will thoroughly enjoy the gardens, the flamingoes and the magical statue installations.<br>

Whack some heels on and ta-da! you instantly feel like a sophisticated adult. 90% of the time my wardrobe consists of denim, sneakers and knit jumpers but today for a few important meetings I thought I would get a little dressed up. Especially considering I was child free.<br>
