This is only a sample size but really that's all you need as facial oils should be used sparingly.

I received this product in a Glossybox a while ago and hadn't heard of the brand Monu before. After trying this product a few times I have to say it's not quite for me.

I think it is best suited to dry skin and older skin possibly, as it claims to have firming properties.

I can't support them claims as I'm sure you'd have to use this at least 3 times a week to see results, which I don't think my skin could handle.

I would also like to mention that people with nut allergies cannot use this product!

Although if you smell this product you can smell the nut in it so it's quite obvious. Whilst I'm on the smell, I hate it. It's a combination of nuts & clinical cleaning products (weird I know).

So overall not a great review but for you dry skin folk looking for a firming facial oil, this could be for you.

So it has been about a month since I wrote one of these posts. So that's means I've been gluten free for about that amount of time too!

I honestly think it's the best lifestyle decision I've ever made!

I feel so much better!

I have also noticed I haven't been feeling as run down & sluggish in general. It's amazing the difference it has made. I have still been suffering from my allergy but other than that I haven't been ill in any way.

I also noticed within the first week of the diet I had lost about two pounds. I don't want to lose weight but that indicates that it might help people do so.

I am just loving not feeling bloated. Before, I was feeling like I looked fat (for me) but now I'm noticing it must have just been bloating. below is a photo of how my stomach is looking now, which I am pretty happy with honest.

The only problem with this diet is I don't often feel full. I guess because what my brain has always thought is full is actually bloated. So I am therefore eating more, but am not putting on weight (sounds great doesn't it, this might not be the case for everyone though).

Due to this constant feeling hungry I haven't been exercising as much because it leaves me feeling starving even more. Naturally, because of the amount of calories you burn whilst exercising. However I am doing more stuff with my horse as the weather is getting better, which results in more exercise!

So I am getting on track with the diet & exercise side of things!

As for my allergy, I have finished all my allergy testing & have my vaccine. Now it's just a case of building up a resistance. However if it doesn't work it means there is another allergy to something we haven't tested. This could be a very long road (hopefully not), but we'll just have to see!

Also in case you are wondering the hospital I have been going to is called Breakspear Medical Group.
