Vitlete - Everyday athlete recovery

* This is a gifted product in exchange for a product review and everything that is written down is everything that comes from me, not the company.

Vitlete kindly sent Craig a 100ml bottle of CBD muscle recovery lotion because if I haven't mentioned it, he works out most days when the kids are in bed, his job is a very demanding one so working out helps throughout the day.

Working out also gives him a host of new problems, manly pulled back or groin muscles and so getting the muscle recovery lotion is a godsend.

We have waited just over a week to give this review as we wanted to see the benefits and so far, Craig has nothing but good things to say about it, the first day using it, he actually had pulled his back and was using a back support while working out.

For me, the smell is pleasant which is a massive thumbs up from me as I hate most smells of muscle lotions.

After putting it on Craig noticed a tingling feeling where he had applied the lotion then warm feeling after a while and later that day mentioned that his back felt fine.

Since he started using it he has found that it's made a massive difference in his workout and his day to day life as you can imagine that pulling a muscle working out can affect the rest of the day especially if you have two very active kids.

Craig has also mentioned that since using the lotion he's managed to up his weights to 130lb.

Obviously, we are not saying its a miracle lotion that lets you suddenly lift 130lb of weights but Craig has worked so hard to lift that amount of weights but getting pulled muscles has delayed that until the lotion.

Vitletes CBC Muscle Recovery Lotion is a little different to others because of an added ingredient which is in the title, here are a few other benefits from the website and if you want to see the full list of the benefits, the link is above.

High-strength 1000mg isolate Cannabidiol CBD

THC-free and non-psychoactive

Organic Aloe Leaf helps reduce inflammation and calm the skin

It's now become part of his workout a must-have and to know that this lotion is helping all his aches and pains and making his day to day life just the little bit better.

We don't want to say that it works for everyone as everyone's body is different but for Craig, it has made a difference and he's happy to recommend the lotion to people.

As for me, the CBC Muscle Recovery Lotion is a miracle worker, because I don't have to listen to his moaning about his post-workout pains and that is a BIG win for me.

What to buy for a new Puppy

So you have decided to get yourself a fur baby, great! just make sure you do your research on the breeds you want and make sure you know what you're getting yourself into.

We as a family decided to take the plunge and get ourselves a new family member, with two kids it felt right and the first thing we did was research!.

Craig has always wanted a springer spaniel and I've always wanted a husky or a BIG breed of dog but all my choices were crossed off the list as we just don't have the room for them, so we looked into how to look after a springer spaniel and find out everything to do with their breed.

Next on our list was looking for a pup, here are the websites I looked at pets4homes and preloved and we actually found the one we want on the preloved page.

This is where the fun begins because you need to buy for the little ball of fur now!

so we did most of our shopping at pets at home, a few bits from home bargains and the puppy food from naturediet.

You will need treats! especially if you want to train your pup we got a few different ones as they were £1 each

Wagg Training Treats £0.99

Wagg Low Fat Treats £0.99

Wagg Yumms Treats

Pedigree Tasty Minis Puppy Treats

we are really liking the look of the Wagg selection if you can't already tell.

The bits we got from Home Bargains was two types of grooming brushes one for me and a hand grooming glove so the kids can groom pup and a squeaky toy.

There were so many different types of shampoo for dogs but I know puppies might have more of sensitive skin so I went with Puppy Love shampoo for £5.50.

We brought a few toys but we will be buying most when we have our puppy so we can get the right sizes and it is the same for a harness and collar.

We want to feed pup a mixture of dry and wet so we decided on Wagg Puppy dry food, there is two sizes, 2kg for £2.00 (was £3.49) and 12kg for £16.99

I wanted to get a comfy looking bed, we already have a dog crate with a bed in but we also wanted to get a bed for a different room and we found a £18.00 Oval black paw bed and i can say it is super comfy.

Make sure that you get the same food the breeder is feeding the puppies and if you do want to change their food, do it slowly start off with 75% puppy food 25% of the new food keep it like that for a while then change it to 50%, 50% and then change the ratio every couple of weeks till you have changed the puppy over.

Of course, there are the little bits like toothbrushes, puppy pads and blankets and lots of hugs and doggy kisses
