Honest, caring, romantic person seeking someone special to share and enjoy life with. I am very much a romantic person , i hope and believe there is someone out there for everyone. I am looking for my soul mate, somone who is my best friend, can talk about anything with, share lifes up's and downs, support each other and enjoy life together. I can seem fairly quiet at first but come out of my shell the more i get to know people. I have a good sense of humour, which can be sometimes dry, sarcastic, and I enjoy making people smile. I'm young at heart and friends have told me i look young for my age. I'm open, honest, genuine, considerate, kind, reliable and a romantic person, and thoughtful when it comes to others. I can be quite calm and laid back I believe in a work life balance as life's to short to spend all time working. I enjoy travelling and visiting interesting places, going for drives or walks, dining out, I also like coffee shops . I'm happy relaxing at night in front of the TV or watching DVD's,spending quiet nights in (with someone special) or going to the cinema, dining out. I've had more sad than happy moments in my life, so i'm looking to make up for that now and i'm looking for someone special to share and enjoy life with. Someone who is romantic, kind, caring, considerate, sensitive and trusting, it would be nice but not essential to also have similar interests to me.

I don't know what to say about myself because I am bias writing about myself, so it would be better to simply ask me. That way I get to tell you in person what I am about and you can be the judge of me. Some women I may click with, some not! Its all down to personalities and chemistry. So fire away and please say more than "Hello" as its boring! Be creative, be original, be silly anything other than just "hello"! Cheers. In all honesty I find online dating a lost cause as its like looking for a minnow (a tiny fish) in the Pacific or Atlantic ocean! Near on impossible! Or like winning the lottery of love. The looks and attraction maybe there, but not the chemistry, personality or the IT factor! If your looking to start a family and have children then I need persuading as I think the world is not a good place to bring kids into, its a struggle on a personal level at best then add that to the outer issues on a world scale: over population, dangerous, violent, tribalistic, environmentally unsafe, wars, famine, poverty, its not the place to add to humanity! However, that doesn't mean that if the right lady comes along and I fall head over heals in love with her and her with me, that I am not adverse to the idea and that then I would want to share our unity and bond in creating a little being out of mutual love especially if its a girl. When love comes between logic and rational thinking it all goes out the window and lo and behold a child! 💏=👨👩👧 I just worry for our unborn child what with coming from a single parent family and a world hell bent on self destruction via people. I am a sucker for a beautiful face and body and as an artist I am very influenced by my visual eye. Although beauty is in the eye of the beholder it can be my down fall not seeing beyond a womans external beauty, blinded if you like to the beauty of her looks. But looking at the same to find her outer beauty is merely a relflection of her soul and hearts inner beauty! So to find one with the other is a task of great magnitude but to find the two cohabiting together will be magic as I will not stray to other more visual beautiful women if she is beautiful outside and inside. I need that grounding because if she has a beautiful soul but I am not attracted to her physically I will stray and that is not good for her even if her counterpart has a horrible soul but externally but I am attracted to her. More fool me, as I say a sucker for a pretty face and body even at my age I should know better. But being an artist my eye is trained to be pleased by the visual aesthetics of the 3 dimemsions of clasical beauty. Having said that I am sure I will find a lady of both qualities here.

A federal court jury Wednesday assessed nearly $4.3 million in damages against the City of Chicago and Raleigh Mathis, former director of the Office of Municipal Investigations, for the racially and politically motivated transfer of 13 white police officers out of the unit in 1984.
The award was $390,000 more than the officers had requested.
The jury of seven whites and one black deliberated about 10 hours over two days before awarding $330,000 in damages to each of 12 officers and to the estate of a 13th officer who has since died.
''This is the first reverse discrimination case in the country to result in a jury award,'' declared a jubilant John Gubbins, attorney for the police officers. ''The message here is that a municipality can`t create
disorganization to obtain goals of balancing minorities with a white majority.''
The verdict even surprised Gubbins because he had asked the jury to award only $250,000 for each of the officers.
The jury`s verdict form listed $50,000 in actual damages to each officer and $275,000 in punitive damages because, according to the form, Mathis acted out of ''an evil motive or reckless and callous indifference.''
Assistant Corporation Counsel Arthur Christie, who along with Jonathan Siner represented the defendants, said he was ''disappointed'' and that the city would be reviewing the verdict and most likely would appeal.
Gubbins filed suit in 1985 on behalf of the officers, claiming that the transfers ordered by Mathis were motivated by the race and political allegiances of the officers.
Mathis, who declined to comment after the verdict was announced, contended during the six-day trial that the men were transferred out to
''bring in my own people''--people whom he could trust to work in the sensitive unit established in 1978 to root out corruption in city government. ''I feel really good for the men,'' Gubbins said. ''They were fine police officers and they didn`t deserve this treatment.'' ( 3 Block spaces, for 4.5 Pts. )
Sgt. John DiMaggio, a highly decorated 29-year police veteran, testified during the trial that he felt ''double-crossed'' when Mathis called him aside in May, 1984, and said, ''I`m having somebody come in and take your place. You`re leaving today.''
After the verdict, DiMaggio and the other officers shook hands and clapped each other on the back. ''We had the best attorney,'' DiMaggio said.
''I feel no personal satisfaction. But maybe they won`t do this to police officers in the future.
Other officers awarded damages are Gerald Cygnar, Thomas Flanagan, John Murray, Francis O`Driscoll, Robert Shanahan, John Capesius, James Gartner, Francesco Riggio, Jerold Wojnar, Dwight Bleke and Frank Cappitelli. The jury also made an award to the estate of Ray Rubino, who died four months after the transfer.
During his closing argument Gubbins asked the jury to remember that laws prohibit forcing individuals to ''ride on the back of the bus.''
''No one should be made to ride on the back of the bus because of the way he was born,'' Gubbins told the jury. ''No one should be transferred from one part of the Chicago Police Department to another . . . just because of his race or sex. The point is, you`ve got to walk to the back, and that walk is humiliating. It`s degrading. . . .
''There`s no question that the whites were treated differently than the minorities.''
Assistant corporation counsel Christie rebutted Gubbins` claims, saying that Mathis ''is not a racist. This case is about 13 police officers who were not happy they were being transferred.
''It`s not racism,'' Christie said. ''It`s not partisan politics. . . . Raleigh Mathis . . . had a right to his people, people he could rely on; people he could trust.''
Christie pointed out that Mathis had brought in 13 different white men along with seven new black men.

Japanese food isn't always high-class and complicated. Star chef Ryuta Kijima is ready to take you to a world of delicious and casual Japanese cuisine that is easily made at home, without the need for sophisticated cooking skills or extravagant ingredients! Inspired by the recent gourmet anime Isekai Izakaya Nobu, he takes the traditional Japanese pub food out of the anime and creates real recipes based on Izakaya Nobu's dishes. This week, Chef Kijima will show us how to make Japanese-style skewers!
The most popular skewered food in Japan is called kushikatsu and actually is not grilled but deep-fried. They can be made with pretty much anything, ranging from vegetables such as onion, eggplant, and lotus root to all varieties of meat and seafood. Kushikatsu is said to have its origins in Osaka, where it was first served at food bars as a casual snack to enjoy while drinking. Even nowadays, you'll find plenty of places in Osaka that specialize on the deep-fried skewer delight! With such a history, it's no surprise that Isekai Izakaya Nobu treats its otherworldly guests to kushikatsu as well!
As great as deep-fried skewers are, it can be a bit of a hassle to make them at home. That's why Chef Kijima gave the traditional pub food a creative twist and barbecues them instead of deep-frying them! The flavor is still wonderfully authentic, and the recipe is shockingly simple! Surprise friends and family with this classic Japanese snack, all made by yourself in your own kitchen! Let's get cooking!
Makes 2 servings
・8 prawns (shelled)
・2 asparagus spears
・1/2 yellow paprika
・1/2 cup of breadcrumbs
・1 tablespoon salad oil
・1/4 teaspoon salt
・a pinch of pepper
1. Cut the roots off the asparagus, about 1 cm thick. Peel off the skin of the lower half with a peeler and cut the spears into 4 pieces each.
Cut the paprika vertically into 8 even slices.
Cut open the prawns at the back and de-vein it.
2. Dry the bamboo skewers (you need to soak them before barbecuing) and skewer all the ingredients in this order: paprika, asparagus, shrimp. Now apply salt and pepper (A) in appropriate amounts.
3. Put the breadcrumbs and 1 teaspoon of salad oil in a frying pan and turn up the heat. Fry them until they're golden brown, then take them out.
4. Clean the frying pan and add another teaspoon of salad oil. Place the skewers in the pan and grill them until they have a nice color, then turn them over. Cover the pan and fry the skewers on low heat for about 2 minutes. Once both sides are properly grilled, arrange the skewers on a plate.
5. Top the skewers with the fried breadcrumbs. Itadakimasu!
With these quick and easy recipes, you can bring both the taste and atmosphere of Izakaya Nobu to your own kitchen. Whether you enjoy this traditional dish all by yourself or treat friends and family to a healthy, yummy meal, don't forget to savor it alongside a nice drink!

19 lives lost in construction zones in the last year
Staff report
Nineteen cones stood at a Thursday morning Ohio Department of Transportation event to represent 19 lives lost in construction zones in the last year.
"Slow Down and Move Over" welcomed members of the public, first responders, construction workers, tow truck drivers and more to an event dedicated to spreading awareness about safety in construction zones and on the highways and freeways.
"The purpose is to protect everyone who works on roads and those traveling on roads," said John Picuri, ODOT District 4 deputy director.
The message is simple: "slow down and move over for road workers," Picuri said.
One of the 19 cones was dressed in avest for John Pasko,
Pasko was killed March 16 after an SUV traveling south on the interstate hit him. Pasko was part of an ODOT brush clearing crew under the Market Street Bridge.
That cone, Picuri said, is a sobering reminder of the cause.
But the cones serve the challenge, said ODOT Director Jerry Wray, "to get people to become aware of what's going on out on the road."
Kenny Robinson, Mahoning County post Ohio State Highway Patrol trooper, and Andy Jackson, Ashtabula County highway technician, shared their stories of both near misses and actual accidents that could've killed them.
"Pay attention and you'll save the world a lot of pain and heartache," Wray said.
Picuri reiterated that slowing down and moving over isn't a courtesy, it's Ohio law and "the right thing to do."

CBD has noted effects on many systems the brain uses to send signals to your body. One of these is the endocannabinoid system. When used, CBD can have beneficial effects on people who suffer neurological disorders. The research in this area is still new. However, there were many studies where CBD was tested for its effect on treating MS and epilepsy.
I have lower back pain with some arthritis and arthritis in my hands.ive recently tried CBD Oil. It really does work. I have the drops and ointment. They both work. Because of the back pain I never would have been able to go on a hike with my family. We had a lot of fun. And "No Pain", all day. I'm also Type 2 diabetic. Anxious to see what my A1C is next month. I'm a believer.
CBD products with a ratio of 20:1 or higher are recommended and administered as drops, capsules, or edibles. Specifically, products made with Valentine X or Electra 4 are more energizing, helping relieve depression. When low energy is an issue, sativa or other stimulating strains can be helpful for improving energy and focus when THC can be tolerated. Varieties that are high in the terpene limonene are recommended for mood elevation.
Pure CBD cannabis oil derived from hemp contains only trace amounts of THC. Hemp is grown from specific cannabis varieties that naturally possess higher levels of CBD. These hemp stalks and hemp seeds produce organic hemp oil that is naturally rich in cannabidiol. Some genetic varieties of hemp contain higher concentrations of pure CBD than others.
Naturally, scientists wanted to see if CBD oil had any anticancer properties. As a result, they performed several animal studies using it. However, it should be noted that the findings don't fully apply to humans. In fact, they merely suggest what possible effects CBD might have when it comes to dealing with cancer. With that in mind, additional human studies would help conclude if CBD oil has an effect on cancer cells in humans.
The U.S. Department of Health & Human Services also recommends that consumers should be aware of any active ingredients that dietary supplements may contain. An active ingredient of a substance is any component that produces a biological or chemical effect on the body. Our products do contain active ingredients. The most abundant active ingredient in our supplements is the CBD in our hemp extract.
I have dealt with overall muscle pain for several years and was finally diagnosed with fibromyalgia 6 months ago. Due to stomach issues, I am no longer able to take NSAIDs, and I don't want to start down the opioid trail, so I've been pretty miserable. Most days I felt like I'd been hit by a truck, and by the end of a work day, I was done. Many evenings I had to use a foam roller on my neck, back, and legs before I could even think of going to bed, and just trying to sit and relax was sometimes impossible. My husband did a lot of research on CBD oil, and Medterra seemed to be a solid company with a good following. He got me a bottle of the 1,000mg tincture, and I "front-loaded" with two doses a day for the first 5 days, then went down to one 1ml dose each morning. Even though we were on a lake vacation and I was climbing in and out of the boat and bouncing around the lake, I noticed that the pain and achiness in my arms and legs was gone within the first couple of days. After a couple more days, I realized that the pain and tightness in my upper back/neck were nearly gone as well. I'm starting to get my "old" energy back, and I can focus on doing what I want to do without the pain constantly interfering. My next order will be for the 3,000mg tincture... I want to play with the dosing a bit and see if I can get some relief with lower back pain (unrelated to the fibro). If you're dealing with muscle pain, I highly recommend giving Medterra CBD oil a try.
A 2007 study with the pharmaceutical 1:1 CBD:THC spray showed good results in helping patients with chronic pain sleep better.[421] REM sleep behavior disorder (RBD) is characterized by the loss of complete muscle relaxation during REM sleep, associated with nightmares and physical activity during dreaming. Four patients in a case series treated with CBD in 2014 had prompt and substantial reduction in the frequency of RBD-related events without side effects. [422]
The Alchemist's Kitchen makes it a point to tell customers everything they know, or think they know, about CBD, and to emphasize that if CBD is going to be a regular part of their lives, they should consult with a doctor to make sure they won't have any adverse reactions. Your bodega guy, who's selling a little jar of CBD oil right next to the Dentyne Ice gum, almost certainly isn't doing the same.
Laboratory evidence indicated that cannabidiol may reduce THC clearance, increasing plasma concentrations which may raise THC availability to receptors and enhance its effect in a dose-dependent manner.[24][25] In vitro, cannabidiol inhibited receptors affecting the activity of voltage-dependent sodium and potassium channels, which may affect neural activity.[26] A small clinical trial reported that CBD partially inhibited the CYP2C-catalyzed hydroxylation of THC to 11-OH-THC.[27]
This product was recommended for me by a friend and I couldnt be happier that we talked about this. Ive had very minor issues with anxiety from work or personal life. By taking this in the morning it really has helped me with those feelings and allowed me to enjoy my day and focus more. Its had a significant affect on my personal life and work because of it. Will be recommending to all my friends who have similar issues.
Researchers like Blessing are legitimately excited about CBD. It shows real promise in treating previously intractable disorders like schizophrenia, and without the destructive side effects of existing drugs. Still, that doesn't mean CBD is harmless. Research on drug interactions with CBD is in its infancy, but what is known within the medical community is that CBD can cause serious problems for people taking certain classes of drugs, namely SSRIs (a group of antidepressants including Zoloft and Prozac) and opioids.
Another way to think about the difference between the two plants is by comparing them to roses. There are so many different varieties of roses. They come in various shapes, sizes, and colors. Even though they differ in a great many ways, they are still roses and their genealogy can be traced back to the original rose plant. Much like yellow roses and white roses are to the original red rose, the hemp plant is a relative (a cousin) of the Cannabis sativa plant.
In 2014, President Obama signed the Farm Bill of 2014 into law. This law contained a section that removed hemp from Schedule 1 of the Controlled Substances Act. It also created a legal structure that made cultivation and research of hemp legal in states that wanted to initiate "Pilot Research Programs" into the cultivation and marketing of hemp and hemp-derived products.
After seasonal harvests of specific cultivars, these high-CBD hemp crops are put through a specialized solvent-free extraction process to yield a hemp oil that is naturally high in cannabidiol. This pure hemp extract is then tested for safety, quality, and cannabinoid content before being exported to our processing facilities in the United States. Importing any cannabis or hemp product into the United States is a complicated and serious task, so we leave nothing to chance before our high-CBD hemp oil makes its journey across the Atlantic Ocean.
Several studies have shown that regular cannabis users have a lower body mass index, smaller waist circumferences, and reduced risk of diabetes and obesity. One 2011 report published in the American Journal of Epidemiology, based on a survey of more than fifty-two thousand participants, concluded that rates of obesity are about one-third lower among cannabis users.[176] This is despite the findings that participants tend to consume more calories per day, an activity that is potentially related to THC's stimulation of ghrelin, a hormone that increases appetite but also increases the metabolism of carbohydrates. CBD on its own was shown in 2006 to lower the incidence of diabetes in lab rats,[177] and in 2015 an Israeli-American biopharmaceutical collective began stage 2 trials related to using CBD to treat diabetes.[178] Research has demonstrated that CBD benefits weight loss by helping the body convert white fat into weight-reducing brown fat, promoting noatherogenesisrmal insulin production and sugar metabolism.[179]
It's a little more uniform when the product is absorbed by smoking or vaping the oil, Ward said. But, "there are obvious concerns about smoking something." A 2007 review published in the journal JAMA Internal Medicine found that smoking marijuana resulted in similar declines in respiratory system health as smoking tobacco. A similar review published in 2014 in The American Journal of Cardiology found that marijuana smoke inhalation can increase the chances of heart attack or stroke. Neither review analyzed the effects of vaping cannabis oil alone, so it's unclear if it has the same health risks as smoking other marijuana products.
Most CBD oils are available in round-number concentrations such as 250mg, 500mg, and 1,000mg. While these strengths accommodate many CBD users, they may not be sufficient for those with preferences that fall outside round numbers. NuLeaf Naturals offers a less conventional selection of concentrations: 240mg, 725mg, 1,450mg, 2,425mg, and 4,850mg. This range ensures that most users will find a strength that works for them.
And that's what's maddening and fascinating about CBD: It isn't bullshit. Crystals are bullshit. Himalayan salt ionizers are bullshit. SugarBearHair apparently doesn't contain what it says it does, though it wouldn't work better than a well-balanced diet even if it did. CBD, though wildly understudied, is not bullshit. In fact, the FDA just approved its very first cannabis-derived drug, a CBD-based epilepsy treatment called Epidiolex. The dosage for Epidiolex starts at around 2.5 mg/kg and is increased to 5 mg/kg, so a 150-pound adult would settle onto a dose of just over 340 mg per day, though the diseases it targets start in childhood.
In 2017, the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine convened a panel of experts to review the health effects of cannabis and cannabinoids. They examined more than 10,000 studies, most of which examined marijuana, not CBD. They found evidence that some cannabinoids — not including CBD — are effective for pain, nausea from chemotherapy and muscle spasms in multiple sclerosis.
The U.S. Department of Health & Human Services also recommends that consumers should be aware of any active ingredients that dietary supplements may contain. An active ingredient of a substance is any component that produces a biological or chemical effect on the body. Our products do contain active ingredients. The most abundant active ingredient in our supplements is the CBD in our hemp extract.
A non-intoxicating cannabinoid found in cannabis. After tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), cannabidiol (CBD) is the second-most abundant cannabinoid in the plant, and has many potential therapeutic benefits, including anti-inflammatory, analgesic, anti-anxiety and seizure-suppressant properties. Cannabidiol can be sourced from both marijuana plants and hemp plants, which are legal in most countries as they contain minor amounts of THC.
It's thought that CBD might affect your health by attaching to receptors in the body's endocannabinoid system—a complex biological system involved in maintaining certain aspects of your health. Emerging research shows that endocannabinoids may play a role in regulating such functions as memory, sleep, and mood, as well as metabolic processes like energy balance.
Definitely not. Standard hemp oil, which can be found very cheaply at a grocery store, is a much different product than our full spectrum hemp extracts (not from seed). Standard hemp oil is produced by cold pressing the seeds, whereas our hemp extract is a full plant extraction with many components not typically found in the seeds. Hemp seed oil is considered to be a great nutritive food, but it doesn't have the naturally occurring terpenes, cannabinoids and other components that our extracts do have.
The variety of cannabis known as hemp was traditionally valued primarily for its fibers with high tensile strength, making it ideal for creating rope and textiles. Hemp seeds and sprouts were eaten as a good source of high-quality protein and beneficial omega-3 fatty acids. The variety of cannabis known as marijuana was specifically cultivated for the euphoric properties of THC, which is concentrated mostly in the flower buds of the plant.
Sufferers of chronic pain owe it themselves to try this product. CBD oil has been a God sent miracle. I suffer from nerve/muscle pain from my L5/S1 disc being in my spinal canal instead of between the vertebrae. For 5 years I limited my activities down to almost nothing to avoid pain. At 35, being a runner/road cyclist that was very active and in great shape, that was devastating not only to my fitness level but also my emotional and mental state. Opioids did nothing for the pain and just produced unwanted side effects. About a month or two ago, a friend got me to try pure CBD oil and within 2 days I was able to tell a difference. No shooting pains down my back/butt/leg/foot. Less muscle cramping and discomfort. The only side effect Ive had so far has been softer bowel movements and I notice I go twice a day instead of once. Ill take that over liver issues/constipation/etc with pharmaceutical company drugs every time. I was able to do yard work back to back days without issue. I was able to go bowling and shopping for hours walking around without consequence. Ive been taking it daily, three times a day (anywhere from 0.25ml to 0.5ml each dose) and it keeps me 90% pain free. I rediscovered my mouth was capable of a smile instead of a grimace. This oil doesnt cure my affliction as it treats symptoms of pain/inflammation but its given me my life back. Im grateful every single day for this product!
Without a doubt, cancer is one of the worst diseases. There are various treatments for it, and all of them vary in how effective they are. CBD oil, on the other hand, shows promise when it comes to reducing cancer symptoms. Not only that, but proper use of CBD oil can help with cancer treatment side effects, such as vomiting, nausea, and excessive pain. Did you know that CBD oil helps with loss of appetite?
I have been diagnosed with endometriosis and several bulging disk. The amount of pain from both because of all the inflammation had been unbearable. Pain meds aleve and several medications that were supposed to help failed me. I went from not doing anything to waking up in the morning like a new woman I never thought this would work Im in tears about how great I feel. Give it a try my family is in complete disbelief that I went from a 97 year old woman their description lol to my 32 yr old self. Life changing is TRUE
If medical marijuana is illegal in a given state, THC levels determine whether a CBD product is illicit or not. In most places, the limit is extremely low. We're talking under 1 percent THC, with some states opting for a cap as low as 0.3 percent. In this case, the only source that would work is hemp, and CBD products will, therefore, be hemp-derived.
Donald Abrams was a member of the committee that reviewed the evidence that went into producing the report, and he said that the studies they reviewed overwhelmingly used pharmaceutically available preparations that contain THC, including dronabinol, nabilone and the whole-plant extract spray nabiximols, which contains equal parts CBD and THC. It's impossible to know whether the benefits of cannabis can also be obtained from CBD alone, Abrams said, because CBD is just one of 400 chemicals present in the plant. So far, CBD in isolation has been studied in only a handful of randomized, placebo-controlled trials (considered the gold standard of evidence in medical research), and the evidence remains sparse.
Even some of the claims made by recreational CBD sellers aren't bullshit, in the abstract. CBD really does show some anti-inflammatory properties. It really does have anxiolytic effects, in certain situations. Of course, it's the scammy nature of herbal supplements that a seller can say something like "CBD has been indicated to reduce anxiety" (a true statement!), even though the actual product you've got in your hand has never been indicated to do so. Nutmeg, for example, will act as a dangerous psychoactive drug at high levels, but it would be deranged to put "scientific research has shown that nutmeg can get you high as hell" on a pumpkin spice latte. It's correct, but it's also incredibly misleading.
Cannabidiol—CBD—is a cannabis compound that has significant medical benefits, but does not make people feel "stoned" and can actually counteract the psychoactivity of THC. The fact that CBD-rich cannabis is non-psychoactive or less psychoactive than THC-dominant strains makes it an appealing option for patients looking for relief from inflammation, pain, anxiety, psychosis, seizures, spasms, and other conditions without disconcerting feelings of lethargy or dysphoria.
To calculate the cost per milligram of CBD, simply divide the dollar amount of the product by the total milligrams of CBD in the bottle. So for instance, a product with 600 mg CBD in a 1 fluid-ounce bottle costing $80 is equal to about 13 cents per mg of CBD; a product with 100 mg of CBD in the same size bottle selling for $40 works out to 40 cents per mg of CBD. In this case, it pays to splurge on the $80 bottle.
The FDA's refusal to allow companies to market CBD as a dietary supplement is based on the fact that federal classification as a dietary supplement requires that a substance has not been authorized for investigation as a new drug or medicine. Since Epidiolex has been studied in clinical trials by GW Pharmaceuticals going back several years now and was granted orphan drug status by the FDA in 2013, CBD cannot therefore be classified as a dietary supplement. Or so the FDA says. But cannabis companies are arguing that they started marketing CBD as a dietary supplement before there were any drug trials involving CBD, such that they should still be allowed to claim dietary supplement status for their products. Thus far however, the FDA isn't budging on this issue.
Based on reviews, smoking or vaporizing CBD vape oil seems to have less effects when compared to other methods of administering CBD, such as tinctures, capsules and sprays. On the flip side, others argue that smoking or vaporizing has less drawbacks than taking CBD orally, since ingesting CBD orally could result in inconsistent absorption and a delayed effect.

Lipid-based extraction: This method uses fats such as organic coconut oil to absorb and encapsulate the plant's chemical compounds. The upsides of lipid-based extraction are that the fat helps make the CBD more bioavailable (easy to absorb), and there are no harsh solvents used. The downside: you won't get a full spectrum of compounds like you would with vapor distillation or CO2 extraction.

Some studies have investigated the role of CBD in preventing cancer cell growth, but research is still in its early stages. The National Cancer Institute (NCI) says that CBD may help alleviate cancer symptoms and cancer treatment side effects. However, the NCI doesn't fully endorse any form of cannabis as a cancer treatment. The action of CBD that's promising for cancer treatment is its ability to moderate inflammation and change how cell reproduce. CBD has the effect of reducing the ability of some types of tumor cells to reproduce.

So a full spectrum decarb got higher points than isolate ("decarb" just refers to the process of decarboxylation which turns raw CBD into activated CBD). We also gave more points to companies with a "broad spectrum" tincture. Broad spectrum CBD oil includes a range of other cannabinoids, but minus the THC – which is generally what people using isolates are trying to avoid.
These dosages are pretty standard in the consumer CBD industry and, per the research available, nowhere near the doses proven to be effective in clinical trials. NuLeaf Naturals, a prominent online CBD seller, sells 240 mg of oil for $38.50. It does not specify dosage but measures its CBD concentration in single drops; there are 100 drops per bottle, each containing 2.4 mg. You would have to take the entire bottle, according to Blessing, to get close to the absolute minimum dose that studies show might be effective for reducing anxiety. A $3 squirt of CBD oil on your ice cream or coffee? Probably right around 10 mg. You'd need 30 times that amount to get to the levels at which researchers have found stress-relieving results.

We don't know how CBD affects the brain in any kind of depth. We don't know which doses and delivery methods are best for different outcomes. We don't know how CBD interacts with most other drugs or foods. We don't know the differences between the effects of isolates and full-spectrum preparations. We don't even know how many cannabinoids there are. California, for what it's worth, seems aware and concerned about this whole thing.
The dosages mentioned do not take into account the strength of the tincture. I have Elixinol 300, I took 1/2 dropper (0.5ml, which offers 5mg of CBD) as indicated on the bottle and felt severely nauseous for 3 hours thereafter. There is no way I cold take this dose twice per day, as recommended on the bottle. The high dosages on this site must surely be for much weaker concentrations?
Years passed, and more studies rolled out with medically beneficial findings regarding cannabis until 2009 when Steep Hill Laboratory in Oakland, California, tested cannabis samples provided by Harborside Health Center to discover that a handful of cultivars contained more CBD than THC. This discovery kicked other labs into gear. They wanted to study medical cannabis to understand and potentially calibrate their cannabinoid ratios. Soon thereafter, laboratories uncovered CBD-dominant strains boasting 20:1 CBD to THC ratios, which opened up the cannabis market for a panoply of CBD products.
The effects of CBD on receptors in the immune system may help reduce overall inflammation in the body. In turn, CBD oil may offer benefits for acne management. A human study published in the Journal of Clinical Investigationfound that the oil prevented activity in sebaceous glands. These glands are responsible for producing sebum, a natural oily substance that hydrates the skin. Too much sebum, however, can lead to acne.
People looking to buy CBD creams will find the most effective and aromatic CBD lotions at Green Roads World. In order to produce the highest quality CBD muscle rub available on the market, Green Roads obtains CBD from US-grown hemp using CO2 supercritical extraction. CBD topicals are highly effective because CBD tends to remain in the application area when applied topically, as opposed to sublingual or edible products that enter the bloodstream and diffuse throughout the body. Green Roads CBD Pain Cream is a unique and potent CBD product, artfully crafted by a licensed pharmacist with more than twenty years of compounding experience.

I was diagnosed with vasovagal syncope and in April began have seisures and black outs multiple times a day. I began taking CBD oil on September 1st. Within a week or so I stopped blacking out as often and came to faster. By the end of September Id switched to your product because of the purity. A HUGE IMPROVEMENT Ive been using your 1000 mg bottle for 6 weeks now. Im taking less in the morning and evening. I no longer need a mid day dose. As the weeks go by Ive had no black outs no seisures in several weeks. My energy level has improved my chest pains have gone away. My panic attacks have gone to next to nothing. Ive been able to clean and go out again. Thank you for giving me my quality of life back again. It surely beats taking prescription drugs and dealing with side effects. Only side effects Ive noticed was I stopped sweating profusely everyday and my appetite has decreased and Ive lost a few pounds. YEAH
Sativex, an oral spray containing both CBD and THC, can treat MS-induced pain. During one study, researchers gave Sativex to 47 participants with MS. Results were largely positive. Patients who used this spray felt notably better. Their muscle and walking spasms decreased, and they felt pain relief. Thanks to studies such as this one, several countries approved using Sativex in MS treatment.
"Buddhism in Asia has a long history of tea drinking to help people stay awake," he continued. "And I wouldn't begrudge anyone taking something that eases bodily aches while sitting—although I think you shouldn't do too much of that stuff because you can end up becoming dependent on it. If the pain is really bad, though, I'd take pain relievers. I have, in fact, done that myself."
We are sorry our blog post didn't answer the question you were looking for. The answer to your question is, that the best product that can assist with chronic pain is a product that contains Cannabinoids in it. Full spectrum hemp oils contain those cannabinoids your body needs to fight pain, stress, anxiety, inflammation and sleep. If your chronic pain is severe, you will want a product that contains a large amount of Cannabinoids.

CBD primarily interacts with the body's endocannabinoid system, a grouping of millions of cannabinoid receptors found throughout your body, but are primarily clustered in the brain and central nervous system. While CBD is a phytocannabinoid, or plant-based cannabinoid, your body also naturally produces cannabinoids, known as endocannabinoids. Almost every organ of your body, including your skin and digestive tract, contains cannabinoid receptors. The endocannabinoid system has four primary purposes including neuroprotection, stress relief, immune response, and regulating the body's general state of balance, impacting faculties such as appetite, sleep, mood, and pain.
Many food and beverage companies are already taking advantage of the growing CBD trend and adding CBD to food and beverage products, though the practice is not approved by the FDA. They are mostly using purified CBD (CBD isolate) instead of CBD oil, because purified CBD has no significant taste and comes from poorer quality hemp, which is cheaper to produce. Whether it's completely safe is totally unknown.
Cooper recently got funding from the National Institutes of Health for a study looking at cannabinoids — including CBD in isolation — as a substitute for opioids, and numerous other clinical trials of CBD are underway. It will be several years before results are available, but these studies should help clarify both what benefits the substance may provide and any side effects it may come with. Most of the adverse effects so far associated with cannabis, such as impairments in short-term memory, coordination and judgment,2 come from products that contain THC as well as CBD, Cooper said, but we need to do more studies to find out for sure whether CBD has fewer risks. Studies are also needed to identify the best way to administer and dose CBD. "I get emails from people asking me what dose of CBD to use, and the truth is, we really don't know," Cooper said.
In 2016, the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) created a new coding category to classify "marihuana extracts" like CBD, but in doing so made clear that CBD was still classified as a Schedule I drug and therefore still illegal. Although the 2018 FDA approval of Epidiolex meant that the DEA removed this specific CBD drug from Schedule I classification, all other non-FDA approved forms for CBD remained classified as Schedule I drugs.
Although Luminary Medicine Company formulas are made with exclusively certified organic and wildcrafted ingredients, there is no auditing system in place, so neither our product nor any other consumable product using cannabinoid-rich hemp oil may legally use the word "organic" on the front panel of the product. When the word "organic" is used on the front panel of a consumable, CBD rich oil product, it ought cause a consumer to pause and consider the legitimacy of other claims and the overall qualification and reliability of the manufacturer.
As mentioned above, cannabis and hemp differ in the levels of naturally occurring THC that they contain. THC is a cannabinoid like CBD. However, its properties are very different and often antagonistic to the effects of CBD. Hemp is naturally high in CBD and low in THC; the reverse is true of cannabis. In fact, hemp contains only about 0.3% – 1.5% THC, while cannabis contains about 5% – 10% or more THC.
Almost ten percent of people worldwide deal with acne. It's a pretty common skin condition, even among adults. A few major factors can cause acne. Those are usually genetic makeup, bacterial infection, underlying skin inflammation, and sebum overproduction. Sebum is an oily secretion that lubricates our skin. It forms inside of sebaceous glands, which are under our skin.

My coffee shop is not unusual in selling CBD products. In New York, and all over the country, you can find CBD oil in convenience stores, CBD vapes in smoke shops, and CBD tinctures and topical creams in beauty stores. You can buy CBD dog treats in Chicago, a $700 CBD couples massage in Philadelphia, and CBD chocolate chip cookies in Miami. CBD is also being combined with ice cream, savory snacks, and cocktails. Even Coca-Cola is reportedly working on a CBD-infused beverage.
My mother has dementia/Alzheimers along with a broken knee that they will not repair do to her mental status. She is currently in a nursing home. I firmly believe her mental situation began with the over use of hydrocodone for over 30 years and was acerbated by the trauma of breaking and disconnecting her knee cap. Since weaning her off of her meds (still in progress) we have regained much of her consciousness. I want to try CBD to help in her recovery or to help slow down the disease. I cannot find a dosage recommendation plus the nursing home/doctor does not recommend it. I would need to give it to her when I am there visiting (about 3 - 4 times per week). Is there a recommended dosage for dementia/Alzheimers?

Between 1801 when the act of Union was passed and in the 1840's during the Great Famine Ireland played a focal part in British politics; although Ireland was definitely a significant part of British politics in this era, fundamentally is it an accurate conjecture to say that Ireland was a 'pivotal issue' in the nineteenth century. The question in which this essay deems to undertake upon itself to answer, is vital as it will provide an insight into the Irish problem, and an explanation into the reasons, how- in retrospect, it affects us today as a result of how it was dealt with (in a series of quick fixes which prolonged the problem. by Britain during the early to mid nineteenth century.
Before beginning this essay it is important to introduce some background history, about the roots of the Irish problem. The Irish problem, which had escalated significantly by the nineteenth century, had its roots about seven centuries previously in the twelfth century. When Robert Fitzstephen and Richard the second earl of Pembroke, (know as Strongbow) who first crossed to Ireland from England in 1169 and 1170, were Norman adventurers. They came to Ireland not for England's interests but their own searching for land, power and wealth.
Such Normans integrated themselves into Gaelic society intermarrying with the Irish, adopting their language, customs and in essence became Irish too, for centuries afterwards. Henry II alarmed at Strongbows' self- aggrandizement in Ireland visited the country to assert the feudal ties between the 'old English' and himself. In the sixteenth century the new Tudor state, decided that they would replace not only the independent power of the 'Old English' nobles but also of the power of the Gaelic tribes.
A peaceful system of submission where Gaelic tribal leaders would submit their land to the king and receive it back 'regranted' from the king, in the knowledge that it was through the king in which they're status stemmed. Though some accepted willingly, the system, which required the Gaelic to accept English laws of succession, clashed directly with Gaelic tradition. Those leaders who wished to acquiesce to the English wishes to maintain their independent power were motivated by personal aims, and those who did not accept these new 'rules' imposed on them by the Tudors were again motivated by personal greed for power.
Eventually conflict was encountered which the Tudors dealt with a ferocity, which Lecky a historian stated "has seldom been exceeded in the pages of History. " The Tudors confiscated lands to create plantations to provide crops to ship to England. The greatest of these plantations was the 1609 Ulster plantation, which were taken from the Lands of Hugh O' Neill, Earl of Tyrone, He was as Robert Kee described " The last of those great Gaelic Chiefs who, though acknowledging in theory the sovereignty of the English monarchy, tried to resist the new Tudor administrative machine.
And in 1607 realising that he would never be able to regain his for power left Ireland forever with the Earl of Tyrconnel, the event that is now remembered as the 'flight of the Earls' which left the Gaelic nation leaderless. Without a national identity, and a 'foreign' nation ruling over them, Ireland became ripe for unrest and a conduit for political conundrums. To access the situation within Ireland the social structure of the country must be understood.
Although eighty percent of the country belonged to the Catholic Church, ten percent of the population belonged to the Church of Ireland (The National Anglican Church of Ireland), and most of the other ten percent of the population belonged to Ireland. Contrary to popular belief Ireland as a whole was not particularly poor, however the distribution of wealth was extremely unbalanced, with almost all of the land being owned by the protestant elite.
While ten thousand landowners had estates many of these were absent for much of the year, they drew money from Ireland not only taking much money from Ireland but not feeding it back into the economy, becoming a drain onto Irelands resources, destroying the country from the inside. The vast Bulk of the population were labourers and rented less than five acres apiece. In 1841 forty percent of the houses in Ireland were one roomed mud cabins. When England tried to find ways to implement the poor law in 1838 they found it problematical, due to the fact that the majority of the Irish were so poor that the workhouse system would not work.
Society within Ireland was severely imbalanced, most of the population were severely rich or destitute the latter being vastly the most common, Britain had become a drain on the Irish economy, and with Westminster, instituting a series of interim solutions, the problem was increasing on an exponential scale. This issue was starting to press onto Westminster, and the consensus of the majority of the Irish was rebellious. The situation in Ireland 1801 was that Westminster was keeping a tight hold onto Ireland. Westminster felt that they had no other choice than this, as for over centuries Ireland had proved to be the friend of English enemies.
For example in 1690, Ireland supported the Catholic King James II against the strongly protestant parliament. In the Battle of the Boyne and Battle of Augrim England had been 'forced' to defeat Irelands royalists. In the American colonies rebellion in the 1770's led Ireland to demand for better trading rights, and revolutionary France actively helped the Irish rebellion of 1798- to Westminster it seemed that Ireland was exploiting every opportunity to gain an advantage to tip the scales of English power in Ireland.
As a direct consequence of the rebellion of 1798, Pitt the Younger, as priminister passed the Act of Union and direct rule was imposed. Westminster felt that this was necessary, although Britain had been able to impose change rule through their connections with Irish parliament; however due to the fact that England had to bail out a Bankrupted Dublin, and they're failure to quell the uprising of 1798 Britain passed this act. Under the terms of the Act of Union Ireland would be represented through 100 elected MPs in London, together with twenty-eight temporal and for spiritual peers (twenty eight lords, and four Bishops).
This act took two years to achieve, mainly due to resistance to the change in Ireland, thus Catholic Emancipation was promised (although not passed). The problems, which arose due to this act, were profound, however they partly of Britain's own making. Britain tended to give Ireland less attention than was needed. This suggests that although the act of Union was a pressing issue within Westminster, it was a quick fix, in the short term the Irish problem was quelled but the consequences in the long-term would prove to heighten tension between Ireland and Britain exacerbating the problem.
Agriculture within Ireland, was a main issue within Britain, this was where the majority of the Irish worked, It was a central issue due to a fact that many lords, politicians, and dignitaries had a vested interest in this area, – they received rent from labourers who worked their land. Much of the experiences of all the classes of agricultural workers varied according to how well estates were run and there was a diversity of experience here.
Some were managed very badly; in 1844 for instance, on hundred and thirty-two estates were in the hands of the courts, usually in preparation for paying off creditors. Much of the bureaucracy involved with agriculture discouraged investment as well; leases on land were normally very short, meaning that the investors may not reap gains of any investment. Wars against France in 1793- 1815 had caused a general rise in prices, however after the war prices fell, and depression followed, 1815 prices were not recovered until the mid 1840's.
Many landlords, to combat the fall in prices, cancelled their leases and drew up new ones auctioning them off to the highest bidder and existing farmers were left without land in which to work. This 'rack-renting' was made possible through growing pressure on land. The increase in the Irish population did nothing to help matters, in the 1750's the Irish population was at two and a half million, by 1800 it had doubled and by 1845 the population had grown to eight and a quarter million.
The poorest members of society rented tiny pieces of land called conacre plots, on which they grew potatoes. This was due to the fact that in comparison to all cereals potatoes gave the highest yield per acre, which a family could depend on. This created an unhealthy monoculture on which many Irishman relied, if the crop failed there would be disastrous consequences. While Britain industrialised before any other country in the world, Ireland's trading and manufacturing were retarded by the Navigation Acts, which treated Ireland as a colony until the 1770's.
Any industry, which rivalled that of Britain, was stifled, resulting in Ireland economy becoming more dependant than ever on agriculture. However industries, which did develop- mainly in the north, such as textile production, allowed the emergence of a Catholic and Protestant middle class, Britain's failure however to fully emancipate after 1800 the Irish meant that this group were alienated, creating sectarian problems, which not only created the issue of Catholic emancipation a topic of even greater debate but, meant that British politics were once again focused on Ireland.
Religious issues were becoming greater and greater within Ireland, which would soon be an excuse for protest within Ireland. This state was partly brought about due to matters of land. In 1610 Catholics held two-thirds of land; by 1690, Protestants held almost eighty percent of the land due to conquests of Cromwell and the defeat of James II in 1690, subsequent penal laws passed, discriminated against Catholics badly, the share of Catholic land fell, primogeniture was abolished for Catholics, meaning that holdings could not be inherited by the eldest Catholic child.
Persecution became so intense that a Catholic could not own a horse worth more than five pounds. Areas where the majority were catholic, were impoverished in comparison to a densely protestant populated area, although eighty percent of the population were Catholic, the church was under funded and had difficulty in finding enough priests for its masses. The Catholic 'peasantry' were forced to pay for the National Church of Ireland, depriving Catholics of even more money.
Religious questions were being raised and once again Westminster had to find a way of answering them. Because Irelands problems were of great enormity no quick solutions were found. After 1800, the main Irish issue within Westminster was Catholic emancipation. The Government was so split over what should be implemented to solve the Irish problem that it became an open question i. e. there was no policy at all. When acts were passed through the House of Commons, they were then rejected by those in the house of Lords-, who had a vested interest in Ireland.
This happened with such acts as the Plunketts Bill (1821) and Nugent's Bill (1823). O' Connell in 1823, brought this issue to the forefront of British politics once again, he became a Catholic leader in Ireland- 'The liberator' and was able to bring the Catholic masses together. The PM Wellington, Peel realised that emancipation was needed if peace was to be kept. The Act of Union had been passed quickly to prevent further unrest and so was Catholic Emancipation. Both were intended to keep Ireland quiet for the foreseeable future.
In the 1830's a change in government, however brought something of a change in attitude. The new Whigs had always been more favourable to Catholic emancipation than their Tory counter parts, and therefore mad changes within the political and social structures of Ireland, although these reforms were small, they were had a big impact over the Irish problem for example the Irish poor law of 1938 led to the creation of one hundred workhouses and the 1840 municipal corporations act.
Lastly a failure in Irelands potato harvest in 1845 due to the crops mono-culture which, many Irishman were relying for income, the work houses were unable to cope with the mass starvation, and the governments relief attempts were insufficient- and the liberal government of 1846 tried to keep to a non-intervention policy as best it could. By August 1847, three million people were being fed in makeshift kitchens, and in breach of the poor law a charity for the able-bodied was allowed.
As a direct consequence Irelands population fell, over one million dieing due to the famine and emigration to England and America ensured that the population fell again by one and a half million. In conclusion by 1850 Ireland was not much further forward than it had been in the 1800, the government in Westminster had implemented a series of quick fix solutions in Ireland, which in the long run made things worse.
I feel that actually Ireland was not a central issue throughout British politics in the nineteenth century, due to the implementation of the, solutions imposed to subdue the problem rather than solve it. However Ireland was a central issue, during certain periods of the nineteenth century, especially in the 1820's when Westminster were so split over the Irish question it became an open question.

Property owners in Mexico enjoy very low property taxes but that could soon change.
José Antonio Meade said property taxes achieve two important objectives: as a revenue source for municipal governments and as a tool for urban development.
He said the tax generates the equivalent of just 0.2% of Mexico's Gross Domestic Product while in Latin America as a whole it represents 1.7%.
For member countries of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development the percentage rises to 2.2% and in the United States it's 3.2%.
Ideally, he said, local governments could finance their requirements with their own income.

I worked there a few years ago and the discount and hours were great but the management at the time was not the best. They were condescending when I made a mistake and they were very stingy about useless things in the store. Other than that, it is interesting to learn about the special material they use for the clothing and different products that help - more... with during pregnancy (e.g. body creams and bras) and after pregnancy (e.g. nursing shirts). - less
During my first trimester, I thought I might get away with continuing to wear my low-slung hipster jeans for the duration. And I probably could have eeked them out for way longer than I did, had I invested in button extenders or a Bump Bandeau (as recommended by JTryner in an earlier thread). But there was always going to come a point when I got a little larger all over (be it from swelling, fat or, y'know, the extra 2 ½ pints of blood that swishes around in women when they're growing a foetus).
I was just looking online today on the motherhood maternity website and all their sale item clothes are buy one get one free. I'm just wondering what their sizes are like. I'm pretty short 5'4 and was about 116lbs before pregnancy so usually size small clothing. I know it says your suppose to order what your your pre- pregnancy size is so I am just wondering if that's true. Thanks for your input

Horrible experience. Never order online from this company. Actually, never buy anything from this fraudulent company. After they canceled an item, not me, they shipped the rest and only partly refunded the money from the canceled item. After numerous emails back and forth to customer service, they claim it was already discounted. SInce when does a promotion of buy 4 get one free, mean, buy 4 things, and we'll take a little bit off each item, claiming they have all been discounted. To top it off, I even bought 5 things, so even if one was canceled there should have still been the same deal of buy four get one free. I will never purchase anything from this company again, whether online or in store. They cheat customers. They don't even deserve 1 star
Generally, you should buy maternity clothes in your pre-pregnancy size. As maternity clothing provides extra room around the belly and bust, it gives you the comfort you need for your changing body. If you're in between sizes or are still unsure of what size to buy, consult our maternity wear sizing chart. Take measurements around the fullest part of your bust, your hips (under your bump), and your bump circumference, and compare these numbers to the sizing chart to find your ideal fit.

Topshop's maternity range delivers on comfort and style, making it exactly what every mum-to-be is looking for (I know, because I am one). The company's denim section in particular is brilliant: It now features maternity versions of its most popular styles. My insider at Topshop told me that the brand's over-the-bump Joni jeans in black are the best-selling style.
Spending more than £50 may seem pretty steep for maternity wear, but there's a small army of women who would argue that if you get enough wear out of your jeans, then it's worth spending over £100. I have heard great things, for instance, about designer maternity wear shop, Blossom. They sell jeans by Citizens of Humanity, True Religion and other revered brands with oddly cod-philosophical-sounding names. They adapt the jeans themselves, adding their "Blossom band". A fashionista friend shelled out about £170 on a pair of 7 For all Mankind straight legs from Blossom and says: "I wore them almost every day up until about five months after having the baby, so well worth it." Another friend of mine, who is stickler for quality, got some James Jeans for just over £100 for her first pregnancy and reckons, if you end up having more than one child, it's definitely worth the investment.

Commenters on earlier 'Mother of all' posts almost unanimously herald Seraphine as the best maternity jeans brand. Amtstevens swears: "I looked better in them than I did in my pre-pregnancy jeans! I am now pregnant with number two and relieved to be slipping back into these jeans. They are so comfy." Guayaba seconds this, saying her Seraphine jeans are: "even nicer than my normal jeans." CooperK says they work for her too, "and I'm no skinny minny." The maternity wear brand (they do breastfeeding clothes, too) was started by a French woman who honed her "fit systems" on herself during her two pregnancies. The jeans come in three lengths, and are all made in stretch denim for comfort and sag avoidance. They also do a good range of styles - here's a picture of Mad Men's January Jones, rocking their skinny grey luxe jeans (£65.00).
I worked for Reitman's for over 9 years, moving to all branches, eventually being moved to thyme because they said it was the only store I would be able to advance in. After working there for a year and a half I was told that they were just going to hire from the outside instead because it wasn't fair that I might play favorites. While I enjoyed the time spent there with the people I worked with it wasn't a career sadly.

There are zero options where I live as well (Peterborough) at least from my searches. I've tried Kijiji and the clothes just look wrinkled and big and kinda gross. I attempted to shop today for just cute flowy shirts in regular clothes and was brutally disappointed, they just don't fit over the hips and bump :( Thyme maternity was stupid expensive and I thought quite boring/granny. The mat area in our old navy looks like a bomb went off. It's torn apart and almost empty.

Loved the old navy maternity line while I was pregnant! Super affordable and extremely comfortable and flattering. I definitely did not want to go out and spend a ton of money of high end maternity brands if I was only going to wear the clothing for a few months. Definitely would recommend their maternity clothes and will be going back there for more next pregnancy
Great store with a great selection of Maternity clothing. Last year a friend of mine was pregnant and she wears plus size clothing. She had a tough time finding plus size maternity wear until she spotted this store. There is an entire section reserved for plus size woman ranging from X to 3X. The plus size selection is great and very reasonably prices. I'm sure if this store didn't exsist, she may have had to stay indoors for the remainder of her pregnancy because she couldn't find a thing to fit her at the other maternity stores in Halifax. They also sold little trinkets such as pregnancy books, stuffed animals, fetal heart monitors and baby calenders. It's a great little store located near the escaltors between Sears on the top level.
