Calming Down w/ CBD

I know CBD is like the "it" thing right now, so I've been super hesitant to purchase any CBD products because... who knows what you're actually getting. With all of the shops popping up, it seems wild that they'd actually be making sure the products are legit, or good for you.

Majority of the time, even renowned brands will claim to be "hemp infused" or claim to be CBD, when in actuality, if you check the ingredients (always read the fine print), Hemp or CBD might be the last ingredient or at least not the first, which means... it's not even the main ingredient in a product claiming to be what the label says. So who knows what you're actually getting, or if the ingredients used are even good for you. Yuck.

I'm always searching ingredients labels before I buy anything, especially when it comes to stuff that's going in or on my body. The fewer ingredients, the better in most cases. If a product claims to be "Hemp" infused, or for another example, "Coconut Conditioner," if those aren't the first or main ingredient, then it's probably going to be a super small amount of a bad quality version of the named ingredient in the product.

So anyway, I have seen quite a few bloggers and influencers getting in on the CBD/ Hemp infused trend, especially for those with high stress or just want to feel calm and zen, without a mind altering effect. I really wanted to get a CBD vape pen because it sounded like a good idea and a convenient way to utilize CBD throughout the day, in addition to the drops 2x a day. So I went to work researching, and turns out, almost 100% of the CBD pens on the market are chalked full of chemical thinning agents and artificial flavors, and just honestly a bunch of shitty things that I'd rather not inhale.

Finally, by chance, I found a brand on Instagram called Social CBD. Not only do they have several flavor options of pens, but their pens contain only 3 ingredients. 3. Seriously, just CBD oil (first), then MCT Oil and Essential oils for flavor. This means the pens are amazing basically. On top of the ingredients of the pens being natural and good for you, their whole line of products is just as awesome. Their CBD drops.... OMG they're infused with Ashwagandha and Rhodiola. The list is this: CBD hemp extract, MCT oil, Rhodiola, Ashwagandha, Peppermint Oil, and Stevia for taste. SO GOOD. And to go on, they offer topical CBD products just as lovely, they honestly have everything.

If you guys know all the benefits of these ingredients they use, you understand why this find is a gem. Plus their customer service team is freaking awesome, even amidst the pandemic we're currently in, they are on their shit. Being the aspiring content creator I am, I reached out and pitched my platforms to promote the brand, and boom, they agreed to send me some products to test out. A few days later, I received all of these goodies. I even bought more! I have to say, I feel amazing. I've been using the peppermint drops every morning and night, as well as the pens in lavender and peppermint flavors as often as I need a little puff. The effect is awesome, and truly helps me de-stress and just chill out without making me sleepy or slumped. I'm so happy I found this brand, and I hope this research helps all of you who were struggling like me, to find a great brand of CBD.

XoXo,
