Rebecca
Tricks
Products: 1500mg Cucumber Melon CBD Tincture and Travel Size CBD Relief Stick
Dosage: 40-50mg of CBD tincture and application of the relief stick, as needed.
Benefits: Reduced joint pain and inflammation after workouts, enhanced well-being throughout the day.
Rebecca keeps a 1500mg Cucumber Melon CBD Tincture in her gym bag to feel awake and ready to go. She prefers keeping the tincture in her bag over CBD gummies so she can accurately control the dosage. On average, she will take 40-50mg, but can always dose up on more stressful days.
Five years ago, she started noticing inflammation in her knee that made it difficult to exercise and feel her best. Taking a CBD tincture helps fight inflammation and has now become her superpower to success! When Rebecca doesn’t take CBD she can feel her
joints start to ache, so it’s definitely a non-negotiable trick in her daily life.
A companion product that Rebecca uses for her workouts is the travel-size CBD relief stick. She keeps it in her glove box for easy access. If she starts to notice soreness from sitting too long, she can quickly rub it into her skin and gently massage the area for immediate relief. The cooling effect lasts for a long time, so she can continue feeling pain-free on the go.
Treats
Products: CBD Lavender Bath Soak
Usage: Add a few spoonfuls to warm water, and increase the amount as needed.
Benefits: Relaxation, aromatherapy and full-body relief.
As a busy mom and business owner, Rebecca rarely has the time to take a bath. However, on those special occasions, she likes to go all out on self-care by adding CBD Lavender Bath Soak to her bath water and locking the door. This allows her to indulge in ultimate relaxation and much-needed alone time.
Bonus Tip: If you want to enhance your evening routine, even more, enjoy a smokable in the tub and moisturize with our Lavendar CBD body lotion after the bath.
Moe
Tricks
Products: THCV gummies and CBD Relief Stick
Dosage: 1 THCV gummy and relief stick used as needed.
Benefits: Enhanced focus and concentration for work, and headache reduction throughout the day.
Moe’s top trick is keeping THCV gummies on her desk for easy access. When she feels herself getting distracted, she will take a gummy to promote concentration and focus. THCV helps her stay on top of tasks and optimize her productivity throughout the day. She finds herself being able to get through her to-do list with less stress and overwhelm.
Her second trick is to keep a CBD relief stick in her purse for headaches. If she feels tension arising, she will apply it to the temples or nape of the neck to stimulate relief. On stressful days, it’s nice to keep the relief stick at easy access. This allows her to stay proactive and prevent headaches before they come on.
Treats
Products: Lavender Bath Soak
Dosage: A few sprinkles, as needed.
Benefits: Relaxing hack for warming up in the winter and reducing foot soreness.
In the cold winter months, Moe loves to use the Lavender Bath Soak to make a relaxing hot foot bath and warm up. When you don’t have time to go to a spa, the best thing you can do is get crafty at home. Moe will put a little bit of the Lavendar Bath Soak into warm water and gently swirl until it dissolves. She will soak her feet for 15-20 minutes until she is nice and toasty!
Jill
Tricks
Product: Hemp Pre-Rolls
Dosage: One pre-roll, smoke as needed.
Benefits: Calm the mind after a long day.
After a busy day of work, Jill’s go-to trick is to smoke a hemp pre-roll to calm her mind and body. It helps take her mind off her to-do list and transition into nighttime relaxation. Jill will smoke a hemp roll until it is finished, or she feels like she has completely taken the edge off.
Treats
Product: CBD / Delta 8 Chocolate
Dosage: 2-3 squares, depending on her mood.
Benefits: Curbs her sweet tooth while adding a bit of levity to her evening.
Jill is a self-proclaimed chocolate snob! She only eats good couverture chocolate, and it’s one of her favorite ways to end the night. She indulges in a few pieces of CBD and Delta 8 chocolate after dinner.
The CBD dosage is higher so she can enjoy a few squares while experiencing the mild yet relaxing benefits of Delta-8. The chocolate is delicious and Jill loves that it has health benefits from cacao and hemp plants, plus a bit of levity that keeps her smiling.
Bonus Tip: Stock up on a few bars of our CBD and Delta-8 Chocolate to enjoy a nice, adult Halloween treat!Who knew chocolate could come with so many benefits?
Bobbi
Tricks
Product: Peppermint CBD tinctures
Dosage: One dropper full or more as needed.
Benefits: Relieve brain fog and stay calm before and after therapy sessions.
Bobbi’s top trick is to take a dropper full of Peppermint CBD tincture before and after therapy sessions to stay calm and centered. Taking CBD beforehand helps ease her anxiety and opens her up to conversation. After therapy, CBD helps her process and understand her emotions with clarity.
Bobbi will also use the tincture throughout the day if her brain starts to feel foggy and unfocused. CBD helps her feel grounded and in control throughout all areas of her daily life.
Treats
Products: Delta 8 and Delta 9 Gummies
Dosage: 1 gummy each, more or less as needed.
Benefits: Enhance relaxation during yin yoga and have more fun with her husband in the evenings.
Bobbi’s favorite treats are Delta 8 and Delta 9 gummies. She uses the Delta 8 gummies before yin yoga to intensify relaxation and zen during her practice. It’s a great addition to her routine and helps her transition her mind into a place of presence. In the evenings, Bobbi’s treat is to take a Delta 9 gummy when she is spending time with her husband. In her words, it just makes fun…funner!
Brooke
Tricks
Product: Full Spectrum Gummies (900 mg or 1500mg per jar)
Dosage: 1 gummy, more as needed.
Benefits: Reduces flight anxiety and PMS symptoms
Brooke’s top trick is to take a full spectrum gummy before a flight. It takes the edge off her anxiety and allows her to get through security and fully prepare for her trip. An extra plus is that she doesn’t have to worry about having to pee on the flight. When she takes a gummy, she doesn’t have to think about it! All she has to do is grab her aisle seat and enjoy the ride.
Brooke’s second trick is to use Full Spectrum Gummies the week before her period. She tends to suffer from severe PMS, and CBD helps her stay patient. She finds herself less frustrated, overwhelmed and angry. Brooke has tried multiple prescriptions, but the CBD gummies have proven to work best for her body.
Treats
Products: THCV gummies
Dosage: ½ a gummy
Benefits: Excellent replacement for alcohol and helps her enjoy the weekend.
Brooke’s go-to treat is to take ½ a THCV gummy on Friday or Saturday when she would normally have a few beers. She prefers THCV because it doesn’t cause drowsiness and allows her to function at normal capacity. In her eyes, it’s the equivalent of 2 beers or a glass of wine with dinner.
It’s just the right amount of relaxation without impairing her normal functioning. For Brooke, it’s a match made in heaven to her weekend routine. She looks forward to using THCV in a variety of ways to see how it can further benefit her daily life.
Lexi
Tricks
Product: CBD Relief Stick
Dosage: Application as needed.
Benefits: Muscle relief after exercise or playing volleyball.
Lexi uses the CBD relief stick any time she has sore muscles or joints from lifting or playing volleyball. It helps reduce her pain without having to take any medication. She typically feels relief within 10-20 minutes and enjoys the lingering cooling effect.
Treats
Product: Delta-8 Gummies
Dosage: ¼ gummy for sleep, ½ gummy for relaxation, and 1 gummy for intense relaxation.
Benefits: A healthier alcohol replacement that helps her relax and unwind.
Lexi’s favorite treat is to take delta-8 gummies in the evenings. If she just wants to unwind before bed, she will take ¼ - ½ a gummy. She loves that it gives her feelings of relaxation without any negative side effects. Instead of having a glass of wine, she’ll opt for a Delta-8 gummy. When Lexi wants more intense effects, she will take a full gummy, which feels equivalent to 2-3 glasses of wine.
Maddie
Tricks
Products: Lavender CBD Body Lotion and CBD Relief Stick
Dosage: Application as needed.
Benefits: Relieves tension in her hands while working.
Maddie keeps the Lavendar CBD body lotion and CBD relief stick at her desk for easy access while working. As a copywriter, she spends hours every day typing on her computer. Since she had wrist surgery a few years ago, she frequently experiences cramping in her fingers and hands. She will apply the CBD body lotion to her hands every few hours. The lavender scent gives an added aromatherapy effect.
If she notices intense cramping, Maddie will massage her wrist with the CBD relief stick. The menthol gives a nice cooling effect that lasts for a long time, and helps her prevent taking too many typing breaks.
Treats
Products: Lavender CBD Bath Soak and CBD/Delta 8 Raspberry Chocolate
Dosage: A few spoonfuls as needed and 3-4 squares of chocolate.
Benefits: Ultimate relaxation for the mind, body and spirit.
Maddie’s favorite treat is taking a bath, so the Lavender CBD Bath Soak is the ideal evening companion. She dissolves it into her tub with a Lavender bubble bath, lights a candle, and grabs some CBD/Delta-8 Chocolate. Maddie is plant-based so she loves that the chocolate is vegan-friendly, therapeutic, and delicious.
Her favorite flavor is the Red Raspberry, and she stores it in the freezer for added crunch. She uses this time to read a book and take a blue light break. The combination of CBD and Delta-8 helps her stay present and fully enjoy the moment.
