Welcome back! Today I’m sharing the supplement brand taking the world of wellness by storm. It’s APOKRA vitamins! We’ve been trying out their family-friendly supplements: APOKRA Vegan Breastfeeding Multivitamins, Apokra Kids! Omega 3 DHA Drops, and APOKRA Kids! Vitamin D3 Drops for a few weeks. Today, I’m delighted to introduce the brand to you. Inspired by their pharmacist grandfather, brothers Matthew and Max Hanson founded APOKRA with a clear vision – to help people focus on their health and nutrition. Indeed, as qualified pharmacists working in the nutrition industry, the brothers were the first to bring vegan algae oil omega 3 DHA liquid to the public in the form of a cleaner and more sustainable plant-based alternative to traditional fish oils. Hence, expanding the product range into vitamins for the whole family’s wellness was a natural next step. Today, APOKRA offer us specialist pre-natal, pregnancy, and breastfeeding vitamins alongside adult…

More women are choosing to bypass their doctor’s surgery and take control of their gynae health by taking an at-home vaginal health test. These tests are convenient, discreet, and comprehensive. Testing the health of your vagina is important if you’re trying for a baby, approaching the menopause, thinking about IVF, or experiencing any vaginal discomfort, odour, or itching. But what does at-home vaginal health testing involve? And is it worth the cost? In this post, I honestly review the Daye Vaginal Health bundle. This comprehensive test kit includes everything you need to better understand your vaginal health, and take the best course of action -whether this looks like treatment through conventional or holistic medicine. The vaginal microbiome is the ecosystem of bacteria, yeasts and other microorganisms that live inside your vagina. When its balance is off, it’s vulnerable to infections and other gynae health complications. The Daye Vaginal Health Bundle…

Hello again, my lovely! Today I’m introducing Daye – a very special period care company and their CBD infused and sustainable tampons. Daye has truly upgraded the humble tampon, for reasons we will shortly learn about. But did you know that the vaginal canal is home to more painkilling cannabinoid receptors than any other area? Me neither! Until now. It’s a new Daye in all things female health. I was intrigued when Daye contacted me to ask if I’d like to try their CBD tampons. I’ve been a fan of CBD products like CBD oil, and organic CBD gummies for a while, but I’d never encountered CBD tampons before. Do you suffer with painful periods? For most, it’s a normal part of monthly life as a woman. “When the wall of the womb contracts, it compresses the blood vessels lining your womb. This temporarily cuts off the blood supply -…

Welcome back, dear friend! Today I’m sharing my thoughts on Earths Secret Thrive supplement. This super charged turmeric supplement aims to increase energy levels, support the immune system, reduce inflammation, improve digestion and provide a source of potent antioxidants. And let me tell you, I need all the help I can get! Life as a mum is so rewarding, but often times utterly exhausting! With one child at school, one in school nursery for 2 hours a day, and a teething 9 month old baby – I need all the energy I can muster. Personally, the last few months have been a huge challenge. Not only am I managing three kids, we moved house too. So you can imagine my curiosity when Earths Secret approached me to try their range of supplements aimed at improving our wellbeing and enhancing our everyday lives. Who are Earths Secret? Science-based supplements that work…

Welcome back, my lover of all things beauty! Today’s share is long overdue. I’m so delighted to talk about the sublime Raven Botanicals! Based in Scotland, and making the most of local Scottish ingredients, Raven Botanicals bring us luxurious natural skincare products formulated with a nod to the wisdom of ages. Think handmade, plant based, and cruelty free skincare such as cleansers, masks, serums, and oils – with a dusting of magic. With offerings named Glow Potion, Spellbind Serum, and Eventide Rejuvenating Mask, it’s easy to see the connection with spirit and nature. Raven Botanicals is a coming together of sisters Arabella and Charlotte. With backgrounds in art and botany, the duo turned their love of botanical formulas into a skincare line that “captures the mythology of the natural world”. I was delighted when the brand asked me to try samples of their Bathing Oil Trio and Green Goddess Balancing…

Welcome back, my friend! Today’s post is all about the cotton products I’ve been using from Organyc. These products are made with 100% certified organic cotton. They take care of delicate skin in so many ways – think beauty, feminine, maternity, and baby care. Organyc products are naturally absorbent, renewable, and sustainable. The brand promises a comfortable and breathable experience that’s reassuringly free from plastics, dyes, perfumes, pesticides, phthalates, super absorbent polymers, and wood pulp. While it is true that single use cotton products are not the most sustainable option to us, they make a great option when we’re short on time, travelling, or have a new baby and need simplicity and convenience. Lydia and I are having great fun trying out a selection of products from their range, including cotton wool balls, baby wipes, intimate wipes, beauty round pads, and cotton buds. Shall we learn more about them now?…

Welcome back, skincare lover! I’m so excited about today’s share! It’s the wonderful Tea & Tonic Gentle Solitude Face Oil! I was delighted to discover the UK wellness brand Tea & Tonic. This interesting company matches skincare and teas for your brightest skin and self. I’ll be honest with you. With upwards of 30 facial oils in my collection, and a house move looming, I’m trying to be sensible and rein in my face oils collection until after the move. But Gentle Solitude got me so curious, I had to try it! What fascinates me about Tea & Tonic is their expert blending of local herbs like borage and lavender, with supportive adaptogenic herbs like ashwaghanda, holy basil, and ginseng. Have you heard about adaptogenic herbs? Adaptogen super herbs naturally enhance our resistance to daily stressors, re-balance and support a healthy immune system. These are powerful supportive agents that help…

Welcome back, beauty lover! Today, I’m sharing my review of Hair Gain Gummies! Do you suffer from postpartum hair loss? After each of my pregnancies, my hair shed by the bucket-load! And after my third pregnancy I took positive action to slow my hair loss and stimulate new growth by finding a science-backed supplement suitable for breastfeeding mums. I was thrilled to discover Hair Gain Gummies on Cult Beauty! These tasty chews promise to support the growth of normal hair while contributing essential vitamins and minerals, such as biotin, selenium, and zinc. In fact, clinical studies undertaken by the brand show a 78% increase in hair growth and an 86% overall improvement in hair. New mums have enough on their plates without having to worry about postpartum hair loss. But that’s what happens to a staggering 300,000 women a year who suffer from postpartum alopecia – hair loss in the…

Welcome back, my sleepy friend! Today’s share focuses on the amazing Kiss The Moon GLOW After Dark Face Polish – a skin smoothing sugar exfoliator to boost your mood and soften your skin before bed. I’m also reviewing the DREAM After Dark Sleep Balm – a sleep inducing pulse point balm with lavender. My love for Kiss The Moon runs deep, with its natural nighttime aromatherapy products dedicated to helping us get a beautiful night’s sleep. I love the brand’s focus on emotional wellbeing to improve sleep and make us feel whole again. Founder Jo is a woman on a mission to help us get our sleep back on track! Since falling head over heels with their LOVE Night Cream for Hands, and later the GLOW After Dark Face Oil and gorgeous rosewood Kiss The Moon Candle, I’ve been slowly adding to my Kiss the Moon collection. I hope you…
