HEY LA FRIENDS! Today is the first Friday party at @theherb.la (aka my “dope” place of business, lol). If you guys are in the area and have ANY questions about cannabis, if you want to talk to vendors and check out tons of products for every type of person, or if you just want some awesome deals on weed, come by and say hello!! The event is from 2-9pm and our business is centered on being an extremely open, friendly, and inclusive environment! No topics are off limits and no questions are stupid! Our goal is to educate, advocate, and elevate! . If you guys are NOT in LA and are bummed that you can’t come ask me questions in person, drop them in the comments below! If I don’t know the answer, I’ll find someone who does! Have an awesome Friday y’all. 😎☁️✨ (at Los Angeles, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bv4iAf7Hjtm/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=w1083udw5l5z

SNACKS ON SNACKS | I am a snacker. If I could subsist solely on snacks and still be a reasonably healthy person, I would. I even like the word snacks. SNACKS! I recently have been making some changes to my diet after a bout of horrible hormone disruption, and I’ve settled in a quasi-paleo area. But my main focus with food is always to maximize nutrition and minimize toxins (aka things that are hard for my body to use, recognize, or assimilate.) My secondary goal is to strike a balance between eating for health and eating for fun because we should never forget that food is an ultimate JOY that we get to experience! Without further ado, swipe right to check out the current collection of my favorite snacks! @sietefoods always satisfies my chip cravings with their cassava-based chips made with avocado oil (get out canola.) @homefree_treats ’s lemon cookies were a recent find and their delicious cookies satisfy my sweet tooth and are free of all major allergens. I’m going through a weird soda phase right now and I have been treating myself to the stevia-sweetened @zevia sodas. My favorite flavor is grape but I also love the Dr. Zevia and the ginger root beer! I also love having a few bags of organic snap peas from @traderjoes in the fridge so I have something to grab that’s green and travel friendly. @epicbar have been coming in really handy lately as well as a quick meal replacement at work, or if I find myself dinner-less in a food desert. Finally, I have been know to eat an entire bag of mandarins in one sitting and IT’S CITRUS SEASON Y’ALL. . What are your favorite snacks? What do you guys LOVE that I need to try?? Are any of my favorite snacks your favorites too?? . Happy Monday Fam. Snack on. (at Los Angeles, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/BvudUxsHuBV/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1a80ga57r681o

SET IT ON FIRE | Remember talking about cannabis trichomes a few posts back? You probably recognize THC and CBD as being the most popular of the beneficial compounds derived from those tiny trichomes, but did you know that in order to make those cool compounds, they have to be heated! This process is called decarboxylation and occurs first in the cannabis plant when it’s cured, or dried, after being harvested. Most of the decarboxylation happens, though, when you heat the plant to high temperatures by either smoking it, vaporizing it, or cooking it. That’s the reason why you won’t get high if you were to eat cannabis buds! It’s also the reason why topically applied THC won’t get you high (but it still contains many health benefits!) 🌈The more you know! ✨ (at Los Angeles, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bvp8PjuHIGa/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1xxg45y2h2adt

Just trying some things out with lighting and this was the result and I like it so I’m leaving it here. 📸👍🏻 (at Los Angeles, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/BvkLYZ2HD0X/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1r8a5la1sqxjq

Today has consisted of a latte, a joint, a cappuccino, a gluten-free donut, and a great conversation about future art-making. I also lost my keys but found them again so it’s all good. I finally feel like I’m coming up for air after many months of feeling like drowning under the various stresses of life. And I’m finally able to enjoy moments like this; where the world brings people and places and things together in a way that gives us all purpose. It’s cool.

BE YOUR BFF | We looooove talking about self-love, but do we actually stop to think about what loving ourselves really looks like? So often, we see someone #selflove -ing a #nomakeup selfie, or we chalk it up to self love when we take time to make ourselves a bubble bath, or stop for ice cream on the way home from work. A skincare routine and treating ourselves are forms of self-love, but it doesn’t stop there. Loving ourselves means cutting ourselves slack when we aren’t perfect. It means forgiving ourselves for mistakes we have made. It means recognizing that we all- yes, even you- are a human being, who is perfectly imperfect. Self love means having empathy for yourself. Many of us have so much empathy for others and many of us are kind, compassionate, and caring friends. But do you offer that same friendship to yourself? Often, we are our own worst critic, when we should be our own best friend. Love yourself by giving yourself the grace to grow as a human and let your best be good enough. And then get some ice cream. 😉🍦💗 (at Hollywood) https://www.instagram.com/p/BpIyxDGHVNa/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=mq64i6cs6puz

In order to love you who are, you cannot hate the experiences that shaped you. - Andrea Dykstra ✨✨✨ It’s not hard to be frustrated with having an illness; or working at a job you don’t like, or going through a breakup, or making a tough career decision, for that matter. Bottom line: life is hard. But these tough experiences are what makes us who we are. I am the person that I am because I have struggled, and I would not trade my circumstances for a life that may be perceived as “easier.” We all struggle, but what sets the true warriors apart is our ability to push through our struggles and to find gratitude in our experiences, even when the lesson is hidden deep inside hardship. I am grateful for every time I’ve fallen off a horse, for every setback with my health, for every time I’ve accidentally overdrawn my bank account, for every awful job that has led me to find a better one. Thank you, Life, for these lessons you have taught me. And I will try my best to remember to be grateful when it is hardest. I hope you guys can, too. Much love and happy Monday!!!

SUNDAZE | Today my dreams came true. Matt and I FINALLY both had a Sunday off so we could go to the market together! Because Matt and I both work in service jobs and also have lots of side hustles going on all the time, I can count on one hand the number of times we both have had the same weekend day off in the past year. So today was especially exciting as I got to do my favorite thing {shop at farmers markets} with my favorite person {Matt} and it was a blast. What is your favorite thing to do on a Sunday, and who’s your favorite person to do it with?? 🤗❤️ (at Los Angeles, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bo78HAOAyjt/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1jjcgemjsnbml
