Product Tested By Melissa Lowe – Toby 11 Months Melissa Awarded The Petit Artichaut Baby Box Square 4.5/5Lovely packaging looked more expensive than similar products available. Have used similar products in the past and like the keepsake concept. Easy to follow instructions although the text was quite small and hard to read in the circle that says the minutes and days. Very easy to use although the roller was quite small and left indentations so I used the tin also. Used this to create handprint.

In 2021, despite continued struggles during the COVID-19 pandemic, the number of Black-owned businesses grew by 14.3% from the year prior. This growth is a significant achievement in a landscape where Black individuals still own the lowest share of employer firms (firms with more than one employee) compared to every other racial group. The following year, Black median wealth grew, along with a 30% increase in employer firm revenue.

Product Tested By Melissa Lowe – Toby 7 Months Melissa Awarded The Bobbie Bunny Teether 5/5Packaging was lovely and looked good quality. Loved the different textures and the easy grip style. My son loved being able to hold by himself he’s very independent and the gaps in the bunnies body allowed him to grasp himself. My son found this easy to use. Was able to grasp and get to his mouth independently. It seemed to have a good effect he was an early teether and enjoyed chewing on this.

2 1/1 MINDFULNESS is something everyone can do, and it can be done anywhere. As human beings, we spend a lot of time worrying about the past. We find we do things on auto pilot. Acting without thinking about what it is we are doing. Mindfulness is a way of paying attention to, and seeing clearly whatever is happening in our lives at that moment in time. It can improve our mental wellbeing by helping us engage with the world around us more and understand ourselves better.

YOUR self-esteem is made up from four attitudes you have about yourself: your confidence, your sense of identity, feeling a sense of belonging and being self-assured in your abilities. Without a strong sense of self-esteem moving forward in the world and fulfilling your full potential can be difficult.

ENTERING motherhood for some, can be one of the most difficult transitions you will ever make. Your whole self-identity shifts in an instant. Immediately your family and friends are coming to see your new baby, and not you. Then there are the family and friends who haven’t been there in a way you hoped for. This can be for multiple reasons. But, in hindsight the woman you were before motherhood is essentially gone. Some people you grow with and other people you simply grow away from.
