Hemp Oil: How Should You Take It?

Image
The burgeoning CBD hemp oil scene has made finding a product easier than ever, but it’s also made  choosing a product harder. If you recall my post from years ago on decision fatigue , you’ll know what I’m talking about: the paralysis of too many choices…. I know my readership, and I know you’re the type of people who will wonder about optimizing their CBD ingestion. This stuff isn’t cheap, and it’s perfectly rational to want to get your money’s worth. While the compound itself—cannabidiol, or CBD—doesn’t change from product to product, the way it’s administered does. There are oral hemp oil supplements—gummies, capsules, infused teas, chocolates. Things you eat and drink and digest. There are sublingual hemp oil supplements—sprays, tinctures, lozenges. Things you swish and swirl around your mouth. There are topical CBD—creams, lotions, and balms. There are patches—things you rub and attach to your skin. There is high-CBD cannabis and CBD-only vape juice. Things you can va...

In Vino Veritas

Instagram knows me like a BFF. No matter what I’m thinking about – nursing bras, beanies, wine – she reads my thoughts and delivers ads that target exactly what I have on the brain. Tasting Room was advertised in my feed and after clicking through, I paid $7 for this little tasting kit to come to my house. (I should have looked for someone’s friend code to get it for free!) I have a thing for any kind of tasting – from wine to cheese to chocolate! I think it’s because when you do a tasting you really relish in the mindfulness of the experience. Plus mini bottles are so cute. I went one by one through each wine, guided by the website, and ate crackers in between to cleanse my palate. I think I calculated that it was just over two glasses worth of wine total so you could share it with a partner too (but I didn’t want to!) I compared and contrasted the first two, middle two and last two and took an online quiz while I sipped. I think it took me over an hour to make my way through. ...

Instant Pot Banana Chocolate Chunk Muffins

Image
That’s a mouthful of a title, and these are a mouthful of a muffin! Add these to your Instant Pot “to make” list. First you’ll want to procure these great silicone molds that can be used for everything from brownies to egg bites to muffins. I actually bought them to make little egg bites (stay tuned) but haven’t tackled that recipe quite yet because muffins were calling my name! I used an old recipe and made some tweaks to get the right volume to fill two of these molds and make 14 muffins. Since I’m new to the Instant Pot, I wasn’t sure how baking would go, but they turned out great! Banana, chia, whole grain oats, whole wheat flour and eggs all provide great nutrition. Chocolate chunks, however, are a must. Because the Instant Pot is a moist environment, these muffins are on the moist side. They don’t have a crispy muffin top like an oven-baked muffin. However, if you slice one in half and put it in a toaster oven or under the broiler of your big oven, they toast perfectly o...

Recharge your body and mind with the Truvani Recovery Bundle

Image
When I wrote my first book, I took  n o time to recover or recharge . I ran myself ragged – traveling to events, doing interviews, meeting new people. It was all “part of the job,” and it was for a good cause, but the truth was, after a few months, I got burned out. This time around, I knew better. When I released my second book, worked “recovery” time into my schedule. And let me tell you… I feel great. Our life is not a sprint. It’s a marathon. …but this whole idea of Recovery got me thinking: How many people push themselves to the limit and burn themselves out? I talked to a few friends and it felt like it was almost everyone. We push ourselves to our max… and stay at the max… until we can no longer lift one more finger. It’s unhealthy. It’s unrewarding. And there has to be a better way. So, at Truvani , we put together something called  “The Truvani Recovery Bundle.” The best part? It’s your chance to try each of the most popular Truvani products… and save 35% o...
