This collection of CBD oils, capsules and creams are for me to test and trial with some of my lifestyle and wellness clients

This collection of CBD oils, capsules and creams are for me to test and trial with some of my lifestyle and wellness clients. . . Until now I have been very anti CBD oils as I believed that any with enough strength to do anything significantly helpful would be addictive due to the addictive nature of THC compound in cannabis. . However the THC has been removed in all these products but they are still high strength enough to be effective. . So we here we have from L-R... Kat's Naturals organic CBD THC free drops- Heal: These high dose anti-inflammatory formula drops are peppermint flavoured and can help with anxiety, depression and insomnia. . . Medterra drops are fast acting as they are absorbed sublingualy for anxiety and pain relief during periods. These I am going to test out on a young women client. . . The Mediterra capsules can help lessen interrupted nightly sleep as they are slower to kick in as they are absorbed slower in the body than drops. These are what I am goimg to try myself. Apparently they will not give a Melatonin style hangover effect in the morning. . . The CBD pain cream can help arthritis and inflammation. I am going to try this on an arthritic finger and an ageing knee joint myself. . . The Lucent botanical mints can help to be calming. . . The tester sachet creams can help redness, rosacea etc. . . I would be inyerested to know if any of my Instagram followers have tried any CBD products for any medical reasons and how you got on. I will report on my progress too. . . . . . @thedrug.store

What do you wear when you’re off to dinner at a cool London restaurant on a first date?

What do you wear when you're off to dinner at a cool London restaurant on a first date? . In my case.... Zara jacket ( last season) Leather-look jeans ( current season Zara) Black patent stiletto boots. ( vintage) . In my opinion first date clothes should appear understated and thrown together stylishly. Like you made an effort to look nice but didn't try too hard. Never lots of cleavage and lots of leg together-only one or the other. . I like to dress age appropriately , never the mutton dressed as lamb, but I do still like to wear clothes with an edge. As I am age 60+ my skirts or dresses aren't ever shorter than knee length and only a glimpse of cleavage not too much. . Not everything on show. Less is always more. However shoes can definitely always be sexy whatever your age. . Dress to suit your body shape and size, and create optical illusions to flatter your best bits and detract from your least favourite bits. . I always want my clients to feel confident and love themselves when they look in the mirror. . It's the whole of you that's attractive -your personality, your confidence and your body language. . No one is judging you in real life. . Be positive and dress to impress. First impressions count. . . . . .

With Dr Michael Mosley

With Dr Michael Mosley. Creator and author of the 5:2 diet and brand The Fast 800. How to combine rapid weight loss and intermittent fasting for long term health. . Here I am at his talk, Q&A and launch of his new book and diet regime for good gut health and reduction of both external fat/weight and internal visceral fat surrounding the organs. This can reverse Type 2 Diabetes and many other lifestyle illnesses. . This style of eating with intermittent fasting is similar to how I live and eat, and teach my clients to eat. . I personally choose to have a 12 hour fast overnight into the following day with 2 days a week of 16/18 hours overnight fasting. I dont restrict my own calories unless it's after Christmas or after lots of partying or entertaining. I do like my food and I like to enjoy life. . It's a very easy regime to follow and continue as a lifestyle choice -NOT a faddy diet. . It works! Apparently Hugh Jackman and Aiden Turner both follow this healthy eating plan too . . . . . @drmichaelmosley @positive_communications_pr

#20yearchallenge

. Appreciate your life and each day you're here. You never know what tomorrow brings. . Be grateful for your good health, your happiness, your family, and your 'inner' beauty whatever age, body shape or size you are. . We are all different and unique and that's what makes each and everyone special. . My photo was from 20 years ago ( so I must have been maybe in my early 40's as I'm now 64. This was before filters and apps, but beautifully and flatteringly lit by the photographer. . I know I didn't appreciate how I looked then and was certainly more critical of myself then than I am now in my old age. . We all get older and should grow old gracefully or disgracefully if you prefer, whilst being your own person and not caring what others say or how they judge you- especially through social media. . . . .

Thank you for all hundreds of likes for my last post

Thank you for all hundreds of likes for my last post. I was not expecting so many. . If you saw this last bikini body post of mine please could you comment on the following: Did you like because.. I'm an older woman body-confident enough to wear a bikini? Because I don't filter -what I post is the reality? Because there were boobs!? Because I looked ok? Informative nutrition and lifestyle eating tips? Because as a woman yourself I hopefully am inspiring you to be confident and not care what others say . Please let me know your thoughts as I will adjust my posts accordingly. . Btw, This is my first home cooked lunch continuing on the same protein and good complex carbs eating regime. Chicken breast pan sauteed in coconut oil. Broccoli, cabbage and cauliflower. . . .
