New organic and natural “gummy bears” make supporting good health more mouth-watering

Coral LLC Gummies is a tasty new way for adults and children to take important supplements.

LEK FIT in Larchmont/Hancock Park

I finally made it to the private-in-home (ok, behind home) fitness class of Laren Kleban – LEKfit .

I have been trying my hardest to get my ass there and because I don’t Bounce ( her signature class) – I had to coordinate the best time to take her lower impact class.

Lauren Kleban is known for her trampoline and dance-inspired workouts that she hosts out of her tricked-out garage. She has a major cult following amongst LA’s most influential bloggers and celeb moms (just go to her Instagram).

Lauren recently launched her streaming service  for those of us who can’t make it to sweet studio. There you can find loads of effective videos that can be mix and matched, to customize your own workouts from anywhere. 

First of all, I’m sore AF. In a way I can only dream of. I love being sore because it means I’m working overlooked muscle groups. In this case, all of them. Lauren is delightful. Sweet, cool, weighs around 50 pounds of solid muscle. Let’s say – she’s inspiring (for a mom of two – WTF?!)

The studio is cozy and chic. The class was a perfect mix of med-high impact dance aerobics (think classic old school – the kind your mom did – which is me, cause I’m old). It’s all very easy to follow. Thank god. No cray cray choreo or long-ass routines which make my head spin.  I have enough on my mind – I don’t need to go to a fitness class to learn a routine, thank you. This was easy peasy to follow and even me with my bilateral metallic hips fared well. The sculpting was mostly arms and floor work lower body for butt and legs. Abs were addressed mostly with a little plank routine thrown in. I was dripping. I got a great hit of cardio and this is a perfect class to add to your weekly routine if you are addicted to spinning, like myself. The music is poppy and fun and the vibe is concentrated, focused and fun.

MONK BOTANICALS WITH AND WITHOUT CANNABIS

June 8, 2017

By now we know the healing and medicinal benefits of CDB. And brands and marketing are catching on. All things CBG are becoming more sophisticated and accessible to everyone. MONK PROVISIONS has debuted an exquisite line of drinking botanicals, infused with all sorts of goodies in the fruits, herbs and flavoring department, as well as the CBD and low-level THC.

Of course I was first taken with the stunning branding and packaging. Yes, I lost my mind over it, even before trying it.

The delicious glass-bottled botanicals come in a variety of divine flavors and all have various ‘prescriptions’.

I finally was able to try one last night. Not knowing how I would respond, I waited for the perfect evening. It says it’s fast acting and mild. I was a little nervous as I had never tried any liquid like this and had no idea what to expect. I for sure do not like feeling ‘out of it’ or ‘out of control’ so I sipped my concoction very slowly. I figured it can’t be more disorienting than a Margarita or glass of wine, and at least this has proven medicinal qualities. The great news (for me) is, I almost felt nothing. The other news (for some) is that I almost felt nothing. The best news is, you can easily monitor your experience because it truly is mild. I felt good, excited to take a walk and go out for dinner, but unaltered in any way. Frankly, I was relieved. If I decide I want to get a little more ‘feeling’ – I would say, try another one. For the most part, it was a yummy fun experience and if you are looking for a summer house warming gift – THIS IS IT.

Monk will surely impress anyone and everyone. Forget the bottle of wine this year and grab the assortment box. I guarantee that whoever receives this gift will be over the moon and them some. It’s perfect for a little dinner party or weekend BBQ.

THIS IS THE HIT RIGHT HERE!! The sampler.

Suicide Girls Vape Cartridges To Kill Your Munchies

June 1, 2017

Imagine what I thought when I read this:

“Diet weed. You may have heard rumblings of a cannabis strain that actually curbs appetite but does it really exist or is it merely wishful thinking among new cannabis marketers? The industry’s latest breakthrough and trendiest strain, THCV, is a compound found in certain strains of cannabis that does in fact suppress appetite. Some call it diet weed, Suicide Girls call it Zero.”

Yah. I was in. For me, weed makes me to do one thing. Stuff my face. And it sucks. It makes me totally miserable. So when I heard about: Chill – Hustle – Zero, an effects-based line of cannabis vape cartridges launched by SuicideGirls Cannabis, I perked up about ZERO – a THCV-infused hybrid, specifically formulated to get you high and control hunger, and features 60 percent THC and 60 percent THCV. Zero gives its users a decrease in appetite, meaning less munchies and more macros. If you’re ever in need of finding new strains of cannabis that could work better for you for different aches, pains or ailments you might want to have a browse through the strain catalog on sites like WeedSmart Canada.

This aint no ordinary vape.

Sleek and super chic, the Chill Hustle Zero vape cartridges use a supercritical C02 molecular extraction method, lab tests each strain for pesticide and fungicide residue and uses only sun grown cannabis. The Suicide Girl vape cartridges retail for $55 and are available at participating dispensaries throughout California. chill.suicidegirls.com. They are hella sexy.

More deets: Zero (THCV hybrid), Chill (indica), and Hustle (sativa) are engineered to deliver predictable outcomes. Get it? Chill – Hustle – Zero. And, they do what they say. Chill has sent me into the best ZZZ’s of a lifetime. Hustle kind of sent me on a fun laundry folding frenzy and Zero did not set me off into a binge. I ended up loving Chill the most – because it really knocks me out in the yummiest way and so much better than Melatonin. These could be the perfect cartridges to use when you catch that volcano hybrid vaporizer sale you’ve been waiting for, and choosing just one of them is likely to be difficult. After all, they all have a fantastic effect, and the creators clearly know what they’re doing.

So you know what? I say them all and GET IT HERE!

The one I am most interested in is called Zero

Effects-Based Line: Chill Hustle Zero are cannabis vape cartridges that are specifically formulated to give the consumer a desired effect. Chill is formulated to give the user a sense of calm. Hustle is formulated to boost focus and creativity. Zero contains THCV, a compound found in cannabis that suppresses hunger. This makes it different from most Vape Supplies on the market, not that there’s anything bad with them, but this Zero is unique.

It’s supposed to curb appetite and stave off the munchies?
The THCV cannabinoid is believed to suppress hunger. I have yet to try this one as I’m too busy testing CHILL to help me sleep.

The origin of SuicideGirls cannabis vape cartridges began when many of the SuicideGirls were smoking Durban Poison, a cannabis strain known to work as an appetite suppressant. They wanted to bring this concept to the masses and began to develop what is now Zero.
