Choosing Your CBD Soulmate

Health· Uncategorized

So, we all know what CBD is by now since it’s basically EVERYWHERE! Let’s break down some of the basics just to refresh shall we?
  • Cannabidiol (CBD) is a product that’s derived from cannabis but it does NOT make you high because it doesn’t contain THC. Think of it as any other natural supplement you would take.
  • CBD is a powerful stress reliever, anti-inflammatory, sleep aid, pain reliever, and is even being used to treat epilepsy and some forms of cancer. There are no known side effects except it may make you sleepy if you take too much.
  • Everyone is different when it comes to dosages (it’s like asking someone how many drinks you need to get drunk – it can be 1 or 6 depending on the person!), but 10-20 mg is the sweet spot for most people. I take it twice a day, in the morning and before bed.

What to look for when shopping for CBD

First off, you want to make sure that your CBD is THC free (unless you want to get high which is totally great, but no one wants to get high without knowing they are getting high). You also want to make sure that your CBD is organic!! There’s really no point of taking CBD if you are filling your body up with chemicals instead of quality, therapeutic hemp. Also, check to see where they source their CBD and that they guarantee that their dosing is accurate.

Also, just with any other company, make sure they have good customer service and will answer any questions you have. I love smaller companies because they are always so responsive and I always prefer to shop small when I can!

Now that we talked about what to look for in your CBD brand, I want to talk about the brand I use and WHY I use it.
About Sunday Scaries
I use a broad spectrum CBD from Sunday Scaries which contains of all the cannabinoids, flavonoids, and fatty acids found in hemp, which all have great positive effects on your health (as opposed to an isolate which is just CBD). All of the Sunday Scaries products contain broad spectrum CBD, Vitamin B12 for energy, and D3 for immunity. All of their CBD is sourced directly from family owned farms in the good ol’ USA. Here’s a little blurb that basically sums up allll of the key factors that make a reliable CBD source.
Core values:
  • Knowing our suppliers in order to have access to the best ingredients
  • No B.S. and making sure we keep it 100
  • Goldilocks Guarantee ensures our 10mg dosing is just right
  • Miracle vitamins included, like Vitamin B12 and D3
  • We love our customers, we’re sort of obsessed actually
  • 101% organic, our CBD is grown in accordance with the 2014 Farm Bill
So now that we know our brand, let’s pick what products work best for us! The gummies are great for getting warmed up to CBD, mostly because they are easy to dose, convenient and delicious! I eat them for dessert on the reg. If you want the most “bang for your buck” I would definitely suggest the tincture. This is great for travel, keeping in your purse and for higher dosages. Here’s a breakdown of all of their products so you can see which one best suits you!
Their products:
1. Regular Gummies- CBD Gummies:
  • 10mg of CBD in each gummy bear; 20 gummies per bottle
  • 0 THC
  • Taste/look like regular gummy bears
2. Vegan AF- Vegan CBD Gummies:
  • 10mg of CBD in each gummy drop; 20 gummies per bottle
  • 0 THC
  • Taste like Sour Patch Kids, looks like gum drops
3. Tincture- CBD Oil:
  • Multipurpose, can be mixed with food, lotion as a topical, etc.
  • 0 THC
4. YOLO Shots- CBD Energy Shot:
  • Gives you the energy of a cup of coffee, without jitters or anxiety
  • 50mb of CBD; 200mg of caffeine
  • 0 THC
  • Flavors: Sour Fruit Punch, Coconut Lime, and Tropical Pineapple
Tub Cub- CBD Bath Bomb:
  • 50mg of CBD
  • 0 THC
  • Fragrance: Black Raspberry and Vanilla
  • Contains coconut oil, lemon, lavender, peppermint, and orange essential oils
Sunday Scaries is offering their CBD Flight- 1 Bottle of Regular Gummies, 1 bottle of Vegan AF Gummies, 1 bottle of CBD Tincture for 20% off for my followers only!!! It’s the perfect way to get started and see what products you’re into. I personally use all three all of the time, but this is a great way to get acquainted with the brand and trying out CBD!

Can’t believe my leftovers turned into this gorg Can’t believe my leftovers turned into this gorg salad in literally 5 minutes 😍 This Chicken Shawarma No-Dressing Salad is the perfect nourishing lunch to fuel you through the rest of your day. Not trying to throw shade but @cava has nothing on me 💅🏼
.
Heated up leftover Chicken Shawarma from @traderjoes but I also have a recipe on my blog! Base is romaine lettuce, cucumber and tomato. Topped with chicken shawarma (falafel would be great too), feta cheese, pickled red onion, crushed pita chips and some salt & pepper. I added tzatziki and red pepper hummus on the side (both from @traderjoes). This is perfect to act as a low cal/fat dressing! I also have a recipe for pickled onions on my blog- just add one thinly sliced red onion, 1 part water, 1 part apple cider vinegar, 1 part white vinegar (or just use all ACV), pinch of salt and a splash of maple syrup to a mason jar. I always keep these in my fridge and they’re ready in about an hour!

I was recently interviewed on @lizmoody’s podcas I was recently interviewed on @lizmoody’s podcast and when she asked about my tips for becoming more confident this one came to the top of my mind right away: Take a Selfie 🤩 Cute outfit, good lighting, whatever you need to feel super good about yourself. You can post your pics, share them with friends or just keep them for yourself on a day when you aren’t feeling your best. It’s important to feel comfortable and confident. Quite honestly, it’s the key to success in SO many aspects of life! ❤️

Was craving takeout vibes tonight so I made a big Was craving takeout vibes tonight so I made a big bowl of Sweet & Sour Shrimp with green beans and brown rice 🥡 Safe to say the spot has been hit. The sweet & sour sauce I made is sweetened with honey so there’s no refined sugar or artificial ingredients like the store bought or restaurant versions! Perfectly sweet with a little spice 😋 
.
Ingredients:
1 lb shrimp
1/4 cup soy sauce 
2 tbsp rice vinegar 
1/4 cup honey 
1 tbsp sriracha 
1 tsp sesame oil + more to cook the shrimp 
1/2 tsp red chili flakes 
2 cloves garlic, minced 
1 tbsp tapioca flour or arrowroot starch + 1/4 cup hot water (this thickens the sauce)
Veggies + rice to serve 
Instructions:
Whisk together all ingredients for the sauce except the tapioca flour + water mixture. 
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add a drizzle of sesame oil to coat the pan. Add in your shrimp and cook for a few minutes each side until it turns pink and is no longer translucent inside. 
Once the shrimp is just cooked, add the sauce mixture + flour mixture to the pan. Bring to a simmer until the sauce has thickened.
I used the same pan to saute some green beans with soy sauce and sriracha! Serve with brown rice. Makes 3-4 servings.

My go to snack or lunch lately has been these prot My go to snack or lunch lately has been these protein packed chicken nuggets 🤩 I keep them gluten free by using crushed up cheese crisps as the “breading,” but you can use any crushed up chip, cracker or even regular breadcrumbs! I’ve seen @shutthekaleup do something similar with crushed up plantain chips and it looks FIRE 🔥 Keep this recipe handy for any time you’re craving nugs!
.
Ingredients:
1 lb boneless, skinless chicken tenders, cut into bite sized pieces 
2 eggs, beaten 
1 bag @whispssnacks or any cracker or chip, crushed (I use the bottom of a glass to crush them while they’re still in the bag)
Avocado oil 
Ketchup or ranch to dip!
Instructions:
Heat a large skillet over medium heat.
Coat your chicken nuggets in the egg wash then “breading” one piece at a time. Set aside once coated.
Add a generous drizzle of oil to coat your pan and add the chicken nuggets once the pan and oil are hot.
Cook for about 3-4 minutes each side or until chicken is cooked through and crispy. Be careful not to overcrowd the pan and do 2 batches if needed. This ensures they get super crispy!
Dip in your sauce of choice and enjoy!
