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.

I Scream, U Scream, We all Scream…for Sherbet! Fizz and Bubble Celebrates National Ice Cream Month

June 5, 2017

June is National Ice Cream Month, and while flavors like chocolate, vanilla and even cookie dough might be tasty, they’re a little played out and heavy on hot summer days. And I agree. As a mom, my greatest bath time discovery has been all things FizzAndBubble.com. Bathing went from hella no to them fighting over who gets to take a bath first and what amazing bath bomb they get to choose. To be honest, they are so obsessed with this line that it’s caused some major fights that can only be resolved by my stocking up on more cupcakes and milkshakes.

And now, for National Ice Cream Month they’ve come out with some new deliciousness that will keep my kids focused on a new way of celebrating. Ok, full disclosure – I am obsessed as well. I am full tilt boogie into the cupcake and have to hide one for myself.

ENTER: Rainbow Sherbet. Technically ice cream and not sorbet, thanks to the addition of milk, this fruity and slightly creamy treat is rich, yet refreshing. And even better than the real thing? A calorie-free version you can enjoy year-round.

Celebrate the holiday (and everyday) with Fizz & Bubble’s Rainbow Sherbet collection of bath time goodies. Available in Fizzy Milkshakes ($15), Cupcake Bath Fizzies ($10), Artisan Bath Fizzies ($6), Bubble Bath & Body Wash ($16), and Blended Bath Salts ($16) form, the true-to-life fragrance will surely satisfy any sweet tooth.  Pick one or all of them up at ULTA stores nationwide or online at FizzAndBubble.com.

Fizz & Bubble products are all-natural and proudly handmade in the USA.

Suicide Girls Vape Cartridges To Kill Your Munchies

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.
