There are some great deals on CBD drinks at Waitrose this week

By Finn H | August 27, 2026 | 0 Comments

I’ve really been upping my intake of CBD recently because I feel like it’s helping me sleep, and although I mostly stick to gummies and oils, I’ve also been drinking plenty of CBD drinks. So I was absolutely delighted when I walked into Waitrose this week (August 25th 2026) and saw that 2 of my favourite CBD drinks brands, TRIP…

I’m loving these high strength CBD gummies by CBDIABLO

By Finn H | August 24, 2026 | 0 Comments

I’ve tried lots of CBD products over the years, and although I’ve generally had the best results with CBD oll, I’ll admit that the taste is sometimes a bit strong for me. I’ve been using CBD oil from CBDIABLO for quite a while now, so when I saw that the brand had launched some high strength CBD gummies, I decided…

Gym Beer – great idea or waste of money?

By Finn H | August 19, 2026 | 0 Comments

I’m no stranger to weird products – just recently I published an article about the “protein fruit puree” I found in Lidl, which I’m still confused by. So when I spotted ‘Gym Beer by Iguana’ at my local Morrisons, I knew I’d have to write an article about it. I’ve been loving non-alcoholic beer recently, and I’ve been happily trying…

The Slow Rise of the Home Barista in the Age of Remote Work

By Finn H | August 14, 2026 | 0 Comments

Photo: unsplash.com, Fahmi Fakhrudin Why did the home barista become such a natural part of remote work culture? The answer has less to do with coffee trends and more to do with time. When work moved into the home, the home itself changed. It became an office, a meeting room, a place for deadlines and a space where people had…

This might be the weirdest high protein product I’ve found in Lidl so far

By Finn H | July 29, 2026 | 0 Comments

Regular readers know that I’m often scouring the shelves at my local supermarkets to find new high protein products, and over the years I’ve found some pretty interesting things.

Supreme CBD – my take on their marketing mishaps

By Finn H | June 23, 2026 | 0 Comments

If you spend any time on social media, chances are you’ve seen a mention of a CBD brand called Supreme CBD. What’s interesting about this brand is that it’s not usually adverts that I’m seeing online for them – at least, not a typical sort of advert. What I mostly see is “celebrities” promoting the brand, making all sorts of…

Aldi just massively upped their Skyr game

I love eating Skyr, which is why I write about it so much. Seriously, it’s high in protein, fat free, and tastes really good, what’s not to like? I’ve never really had a “go-to” Skyr brand because I like trying different brands, but I have to say that Aldi is quickly becoming my favourite place to head to when I…

Waitrose appears to have stopped selling CBD products (apart from drinks)

By Finn H | June 9, 2026 | 0 Comments

I’ve written quite a bit about how beneficial I’ve found CBD oils and gummies, especially for things like sleep. Usually I buy my CBD products online or at a store like Holland and Barrett, but occasionally I like to grab some from my local Waitrose. Not all UK supermarkets stock CBD products (I’ve never seen any at M&S, for example),…

By Finn H | June 6, 2026 | 0 Comments

I’m a big fan of CBD products and use them daily, but the one downside to almost all of the ingestible CBD products I take is the taste. I understand that things which are good for you aren’t supposed to taste great, but sometimes I really struggle to get excited to take a CBD oil when I know I’m going…

AG1 is one of the most recommended green powders in the UK at the moment, but it is quite an expensive purchase. A bag of AG1 can set you back a handsome £91- £150.

By Finn H | May 16, 2026 | 0 Comments

Weight loss support should be practical, clinically sensible, and built around the person, not just willpower. For people considering medical options, clinician-led weight loss support can help turn guesswork into a safer plan based on suitability, lifestyle, health history, and ongoing review, while keeping nutrition, movement, sleep, stress, medication history, personal goals, and realistic daily habits part of the conversation….

By Finn H | April 8, 2026 | 0 Comments

I recently wrote about how impressed I was by the Aldi gin selection, which not only features some excellent imitation gins at great prices, but also features an award-winning gin that picked up the prestigious Gold Award at the World Gin Awards.
