LOS ANGELES HAUNTED HAYRIDE UNVEILS MOST ICONIC AND HORRIFYING THEME YET AS “CLOWN” IS ANNOUNCED FOR 2017

August 27, 2017

You’ve been to Rite Aid and Target and it’s clear that…HALLOWEEN is upon us.

Sorry, there is only so many healthy, sugar free stories I can cover. A girl needs to lighten up sometimes and by that I mean…burning calories and getting your heart rate up the easy way. Simply sweat your ass off scaring the crap out of yourself here!

Ten Thirty One Productions (TTO) is excited to announce the highly anticipated return of the most popular Halloween attraction in the country, the Los Angeles Haunted Hayride coming September 29th to Griffith Park with limited pre-sale tickets available now.

TTO will allow guests to come face-to-face with their biggest, darkest fears for the scariest Halloween immersion experience on the West Coast.                  

I for one, love scary shit! And I have always wanted to check this out for some light (and dark!) fun. I hear this year they’ve pulled out all the stops.

Los Angeles Haunted Hayride (@LAHauntedHayride) returns with the most thrilling ride yet as guests become completely absorbed within the experience. Clown will feature four zones guaranteed to make your skin crawl: Haunted Hayride, House Of Shadows, Trick Or Treat, and Purgatory. Take a seat on our Haunted Hayride as we slither through the genuinely haunted woods of Griffith Park’s Old Zoo. Meet a legion of vicious clowns waiting with more psychopathic fun than any wagon can handle. And if you think you know clowns…you don’t know our clowns. The evolution of demonic apparitions that live within these trees have created a darkness that will leave with you and infiltrate your dreams. Clown – will literally have you on the edge of your seat and then forced out of those seats as you become immersed within your darkest fears escaping on foot to experience the winding, weaving Corn Maze smack dab in the middle of the ride!

“Hayride fans have been asking us to bring back the Clown Tent Finale for years.  We just couldn’t escape it. Once we started we got so sucked into this rabbit hole of incredible clown content that we couldn’t just do one finale scene.  So we decided to take the number one fan favorite experience of our entire history and make it the entire 30 acre attraction. I don’t think I’ve been this excited for the hayride since year one ” explains TTO CEO and Haunted Hayride Founder and author of the upcoming book “READY FIRE AIM: How I Turned a Hobby into an Empire”, Melissa Carbone (@MelCarbs).

Legendary fan favorite scare zone, House of Shadows, will leave you completely blinded in total darkness, as the shadows of the most vicious, ugliest and depraved souls chase you through the re-imagined, colossally possessed demonic house – Southern California’s only true dark maze! At Trick Or Treat, it’s Halloween every night. Go get candy from strangers! The interactive neighborhood has doubled in size and has tripled the mischief. The suburb of Hell welcomes trick-or-treaters to go door to door and come face to face with its freakish occupants. You’ve always known your neighbors were a little off, so tonight let’s pull back the curtain. “Ding Dong!”

An ALL NEW layout may just make Purgatory the best part of the entire attraction. The charm and magic of our old world ‘haunted village’ invokes the nostalgia of Halloweens past; smell the freshly cut hay, feel the chill of cold fog, and see the deep, rich orange glow of jack o’ lanterns as you pass through our gates. Become a part of the show at Theatre Macabre, ride the Scary-Go-Round, enjoy food & drink at the Grub Shack, shop in the Bootique, visit a psychic, and get ready to see Purgatory like you’ve never seen it before from a seat around our 20-foot Living Bonfire that will send your jaws to the ground. Get ready for this never before seen spectacle.

If you’ve ever thought about going to Los Angeles Haunted Hayride, this is the year to do it.

K+ Organics Healthy Sports Drinks For Kids? YEP!

August 23, 2017

Velana Colon got tired of seeing all the sugary drinks get fed to her kids after their sports game and finally had enough.  She and another family with a total of six kids came together to create something different and healthier for their young MVP’s and K+ Organics was born.  

 

K+ Organics is a new electrolyte sports drink with ONLY 14 grams of sugar per bottle (more than half of other leading brands) and no artificial preservatives, flavors, colors or sweeteners and is certified organic.  

I have to admit, I have occasionally ‘treat’ my kids to the chemical concoctions of crappy, sugar-free versions of sports drinks – ya know the kind, filled with hideous things I am too ashamed to spell out. I was so excited to try these healthy versions out on my kiddos (and my self!). Huge hit. We all loved them. They for sure look, taste and feel like sports drinks – sweet and refreshing in sporty bottles. My son especially luurrrveed them.

K+ Organics Founder, Velana Colon

K + Organics comes in three fun flavors: Fruit Punch, Orange and Lime and is available at Gelson’s and Bristol Farms in Southern California and can be purchased online at http://www.kplusorganics.com .

And don’t forget, adults can drink it too!!

More information can also be found at K+ Organics .

hmbldt Cannabis-based Wellness Pen

August 22, 2017

Thank the wellness gods for bringing Cannabis into the spotlight and high on our radars. No pun. Especially for me as I was never one to enjoy smoking weed or even being high. I do believe in the healing aspects of cannabis. More and more, I find myself less and less wanting to ingest anything artificial to help me sleep, settle anxiety or uplift from depression. What an exciting time it is for me – with the rise of luxury cannabis vape pens. I have been trying them all  – to sleep, settle, arouse, relieve and I am psyched to report on hmbldt.

Exquisitely cultivated, crafted, and designed hmbldt is achieving what they sought out to do:

“hmbldt was founded with the goal of creating the first cannabis products based on the science behind the plant. Science has proven that cannabis provides functional benefits such as sleep aid, pain relief, euphoria, energy, and relaxation. hmbldt has determined the exact balance of cannabis derived compounds to create targeted products that deliver a consistent response, while controlling the sometimes overwhelming psychoactive effects.

Our commitment to safe, targeted and effective cannabis based medicines also led to the development of our proprietary delivery devices, designed specifically to deliver a precise dosage of our formulas each and every time.”

My experience with hmbldt was with the BLISS formula:

A THC-forward formula balanced in a 9:1 ratio with CBD complemented by uplifting terpenes such as a- and β-pinene and terpinolene. The pre-filled hmbldt dose pen™ offers over 200 doses (2.25mg per dose) and ensures a precise dose every time.

The website has an excellent breakdown of each formula that looks like this:

I loved it. Period. I cannot wait to try them all. Here is where you can find them too!

THE NEWS: hmbldt, named one of TIME’s top 25 inventions, is a cannabis-based health and wellness company founded on the premise that plant-based medicine can bring healing and happiness to the masses. through six targete formulas-relief, sleep, bliss, calm, passion, and arouse-hmbldt desire safe, targeted, and effective solutions for some of our most
common ailments. the proprietary hmbldt dose pen delivers prec· e oses, creating a reliable and repeatable experience. based in california, t e company takes an ethical approach to production which ineludes fully recyclable medical grade plastic and a rigorous testing process to ensure all products are safe and pesticide-free.

BLISS – SLEEP – CALM – RELIEF – AROUSE – PASSION

 

the hmbldt dose pen uses superior vaporization elements designed to heat our formulas to a precise temperature and to deliver help quickly and accurately. consistent dosage is guaranteed through three key features: optimized temperature control, airflow control and time control. each pen delivers 200 2.25mg doses.

 

the active ingredients in cannabis directly interact with a complex network of receptors in the human body called the endocannabinoid system
(ecs). the ecs affects appetite, sleep, energy balance, metabolism, stress response, immune function, muscle spasticity, reproduction, neurogenesis, and pain-almost everything causing lifestyle and health issues in humans today.
