CBD – Finding the Right Option and Optimal Dosage for You

Leave a reply

So, you have decided to start using CBD to relieve your health issues. But now, you’re facing a tough decision: what are the best CBD oils? Should you consider edibles, tinctures, vaporizers, or topicals instead? And what is the ideal dosage?

If the great number of different CBD products seems overwhelming, you’re not alone. Different products affect the body differently. In addition, every individual responds differently to CBD depending on a number of factors like age, weight and the condition being treated. All this affects what form of CBD you should use and how much you should take.

This article aims to help you work out a CBD treatment plan tailored to your individual needs and health goals.

What is Your Goal?

Start by determining your health goal. What do you want CBD to help you with? Are you struggling with anxiety? Do you need help with chronic pain?

You also need to determine what area in your body you are targeting, because, in order to be effective, CBD needs to arrive where it is needed. If the target is somewhere on your skin (e.g. acne), then you should try using CBD topicals (lotion or cream). This will ensure that a high concentration of CBD is used just where you need it, instead of having to move through your bloodstream until it reaches the target.

Are You Looking for Immediate Effects?

If you are looking for quick relief, inhaled CBD products (vaporizers) are the best choice for you. If you want to keep the CBD levels constant throughout the day, opt for oral products (oil, edibles, capsules, tinctures).

What’s the Ideal Dosage?

The effectiveness of each CBD product depends on a number of individual factors so, the dosage is also a very individual process.

It’s always best to begin with small dosages and see how your body reacts. If there are no adverse side effects, then you can gradually increase the dosage.

Even if you find the ideal dosage, it might change if you start using a product from a different manufacturer.

Can You Overdose on CBD?

Clinical trials have found that humans can take up to 1,200 mg of CBD per day without experiencing any side effects.

However, it’s always recommended to consult with your doctor before you start using any CBD products, especially if you’re already taking any prescription medications.

What’s Type of CBD is the Best?

Research has found that full-spectrum CBD products are more effective than CBD isolates because they contain all or nearly all of the compounds present in the cannabis plant. These compounds interact with each other in the body, thus enhancing CBD’s therapeutic effects.

Final Thoughts

CBD is quite a complicated subject that researchers are still trying to piece together. There aren’t any fixed guidelines to follow when it comes to using CBD to achieve your health goals. It is a highly personal experience that requires patience and experimentation.

CBD Buying Guide – How To Find The Best CBD Oil

Leave a reply

In the medical industry, CBD oil has been the talk of the town as of late. It has shown to be an effective treatment for all sorts of conditions – from opioid addiction, depression and anxiety to muscle pains as well as epilepsy-related seizures.

Yet, this seemingly wonderous cure is not exactly “plug and play.” There are different ways of extracting CBD oil from marijuana plants, and many oil types out there, each carrying unique properties of their own. This means you will have to do some research to find the best CBD oil for your needs.

The first thing you should do before buying is to check your state laws regarding the legality of the products on offer. Some states allow for prescription-based CBD oil with under 0.3% THC concentration, whereas certain places allow for over the counter purchase of CBD products containing high amounts of THC.

There are three categories of CBD products on the market: Full Spectrum, Broad Spectrum and CBD Isolate.

Full Spectrum

CBD oil is only one ingredient that can be sourced from any given hemp plant. There are dozens of chemical compounds of the marijuana plant, which can prove more effective when taken in combination with one another – also known as the entourage effect.

Full Spectrum CBD refers to products containing a broad range of cannabinoids and terpenes present in the hemp plant. As such, they provide the most potent effect in treating your medical condition.

The downside, for some, maybe the fact that trace amounts of THC are present in full-spectrum products. While they are often in low amounts, not nearly enough to get you “high,” consistent use may get you flagged on drug tests. What’s more, some states make the sale of THC-infused oil flat out illegal or may require a prescription from a licensed physician.

Broad Spectrum

New strides in CBD processing technology have paved the way for high-quality oil extracts with no trace amounts of THC, classified as Broad-Spectrum CBD Oil.

Broad-spectrum oils still contain all the useful terpenes and cannabinoids present in the hemp plant, mirroring full-spectrum products. Through additional post-processing, all traces of THC are removed from the oil.

Therefore, it’s recommended that you consume broad spectrum oils if you do not want to consume THC for whichever reason.

CBD Isolate

Before the production of broad-spectrum CBD oils was not yet possible, CBD isolates were the solution for individuals who couldn’t consume trace amounts of THC in their product.

The process for creating CBD isolates removes all terpenes and cannabinoids previously found on the hemp plant. The end result is 99%+ pure cannabidiol product.

However, since all other useful compounds from the plant are removed in the process, CBD isolates are much less effective as a treatment for relevant medical conditions. As such, your best choice for THC-free oil is broad-spectrum, rather than CBD isolates, if you can get your hands on one.

Depressed Nation: The Generation of the Uneducated

Leave a reply

There’s no doubt that depression is increasing throughout the world, particularly in the United States. There are a number of reasons behind this – however, focusing on the problem itself doesn’t really help us find a solution.

What’s important is to address the underlying causes behind the issue so that we can learn how we can work to help fix the problem. In this article, we’re going to be discussing some of the causes of the increased level of depression – particularly the lack of education that we receive regarding mental health – and help point out some potential solutions that we can use to help fix the issue.

Why Are We So Depressed?

Depression has been increasing in the United States for some time. Suicides are increasing at an alarming rate – particularly for men between the ages of 45 and 64. In the US alone, depression has increased in the overall population by almost 1% in the years between 2005 and 2015.

The increase in depression is undoubtedly linked to a society which does not provide its citizens with the proper knowledge, education, or lifestyle opportunities to live happily. Even those who live the “American Dream,” driving rich cars and living with financial wealth, are often depressed. Many of these people commit suicide, as well.

There are lots of reasons that the world is becoming a more depressing place. The most important thing to recognize, however, is that wherever there is a problem, there is a solution. On that note, we’re going to discuss some of the most common reasons that people are experiencing more depression these days.

• Lack of education regarding mental health. Unless you choose to major in psychology or attend a high school that offers psychology as an elective, you probably won’t receive much education regarding depression or mental health in general. It’s not hard to see how this could lead to problems later in life.

Mental health problems are extremely common. In fact, pretty much everyone will deal with a mental health problem at some point in their lives. Unfortunately, most of us have to figure out what these mental health issues are about by talking to friends or family members, or by doing our own research.

Because we’re not educated about these things, one of the most important things that we can do to improve the state of mental health is to educate ourselves and the people that we know. This way, we will at least be able to approach these problems properly when they arise.

• Extreme work hours. Many people are forced to work very long hours – in fact, the standard 40-hour work week is known to cause stress, depression, and anxiety in the majority of people. This often leads to the need to take pharmaceutical medication, which can compound the issue.

Many people find it difficult to avoid the 40-hour grind. One way to avoid this is to begin learning how to make money by practicing your creative talents and finding people interested in them. If you haven’t figured them out yet, don’t give up!

• Lack of purpose / motive. One of the more frightening and existential aspects of our existence is that we don’t really know why we’re here or what our grand purpose is. These spiritual and existential questions are not only dealt with during schooling, they are usually actively banned from the curriculum.

This results in children growing into adults with no idea about what we’re meant to do as human beings, aside from work until we can retire before dying – which is a rather dark perspective that can lead to stark depression. People with a sense of purpose, on the other hand, tend to fare a lot better in life.

One way to develop purpose is to take up some sort of spiritual or meditative practice to approach these questions.

In Conclusion

There are many reasons that people are experiencing more depression in the United States. Fortunately, there are just as many solutions as there are causes.

Jaguar F-TYPE R-Dynamic

Written by Vaughn Lowery

Photos by Jeff Langlois

Since its inception in 2013, the Jaguar F-Type has been responsible for revolutionizing the sports car industry. With it’s obnoxious exhaust and robust styling, this has come to be one of the most sensual vehicles in the chronicle of the automobile industry.

Design

Reminiscent of an Aston Martin Vantage roadster, this vehicle is sleek and seductive. Caldera red exterior with scarlet red interior. The race-inspired seats cup your derrière with the same type of firmness which NFL players display once a teammate makes a touchdown. Everything along the dashboard is loaded and takes on a minimalist approach to decadence. Contrast stitching intertwined with ambient cabin lighting pushes the driver’s vision. You literally feel like you’re in the cockpit of a fighter jet. LED designer head and tail lamps add a touch of menace to the overall skeleton. 20″ inch wheels on this vehicle’s small frame screams Matchbox hot rod. The infamous R package is badged on the front, sides and back. The skirt, ground effects and active spoiler (which deploys at 70mph) give it an aggressive stance.

Technology

The F Type 10″ infotainment screen is bright and easy to use. With Bluetooth and navigation capabilities, permits the driver to feel even more linked up. 380 watt Meridian stereo system provides a premium sound which mimics an Arclight movie theater experience. Retractable vents on the instrument panel go flush once AC/heating is turned off. The climate control package comes with heated/cooled seats, heated steering wheel and windshield. For 2020, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and front parking sensors are now standard on this manikin.

Safety

With adequate sensors for the driver, lane departure and cruise control keep the vehicle tucked in between the lines of road every bit well as ample space away from vehicles while on extended road trips.

Performance

Behind the wheel of this enthusiast’s ride is a dream come true. The sports seats are outstanding for long distances. The 3.0L supercharged V6 AWD vehicle delivers 380hp and 339lb-ft torque. Agile, responsive and brawny are the best adjectives to describe the overall handling and Powertrain. The steering is accurate and nicely weighted. Of course, the torque vectoring and braking is on par with many of its competitors but nothing to boast about. Let’s face it, if you are seeking a rambunctious roller coaster ride, you may desire to blast out another 50,000 USD for the SVR. And, if you’re in the mood for a manual transmission, then this may not be the sleigh ride for you as it’s no longer offered on this crop.

In short, if you’re in the marketplace for a sybaritic yet sassy vixen that’s just under a 100,000 USD – then this is the car for you. Strong curb appeal, decent gas mileage (mpg: 23 city/30 highway) apace with enough amenities to keep a ‘gadget head’ feigning. The 2020 Jaguar F-Typer R-Dynamic is the benchmark for come-hither coupes, especially with all-wheel drive.

Pre-order.

Sheraton Maui Resort & Spa Announces Multi-Million Dollar Lobby Transformation

Second Phase of Resort Renovation Introduces New Lobby Bar, Lounge and Game Room

Sheraton Maui Resort & Spa, situated on 23 oceanfront acres at iconic Pu‘u Keka‘a (Black Rock) on Ka‘anapali Beach, is undergoing a multi-million dollar transformation of its lobby, slated for completion in November 2019. The second phase of the resort’s renovation, following a complete refresh of all guestrooms last year, will introduce a new lobby bar and café, lounge, and reception area along with the debut of a family game room.

“As one of the most historic resorts on the island, Sheraton Maui has been bringing people together for vacations and celebrations for more than 55 years,” said Tetsuji Yamazaki, general manager. “The reimagined lobby will be the heart of the resort. We look forward to making more memories with our valued guests and our local community in the redesigned space that we think will be west Maui’s new favorite gathering place.”

Sheraton Maui Resort & Spa’s fresh lobby design is a 4,223-square-foot open concept floor plan that brings the outdoors in with an expansive lanai and viewing deck, offering panoramic views of Ka‘anapali Beach. The new lobby bar and café will be the epicenter of the resort’s gathering space featuring locally-infused food and beverage experiences. Guests will enjoy coffee and breakfast bites in the morning and then gather at sunset for evening pupus (appetizers), creative cocktails, craft beers, and wines. The adjacent lobby lounge features communal seating for guests to socialize while enjoying scenic ocean views and nightly live entertainment.

Conceptualized by AHL, formally Architects Hawaii Limited, the transformation highlights Sheraton’s brand focus “where the world comes together” by creating a central gathering place for guests to socialize and relax. The design blends soothing coastal shades of blue, gray and tan with textural accents of wood and rock to create a calm, inviting space that plays off the island’s natural environment.

On the lower lobby level, the resort will introduce a new game room, where guests can watch movies, surf the internet, and play their favorite games. Whether challenging an opponent to a round of foosball or lounging with a book in the cozy bean bag chairs, guests of all ages will enjoy spending time in this fun new space.

In July 2018, Sheraton Maui Resort completed a $26.5 million renovation of its 508 guestrooms and suites, 83 percent of which feature an ocean view. The new guestroom design blends past with present, honoring the history and sense of place found at Pu‘u Keka‘a while modernizing the living and bathroom spaces with timeless furnishings, textiles, décor, and artwork curated by native Hawaii artist Kristie Fujiyama Kosmides. Colors and textures utilized throughout the resort’s six buildings are inspired by the culture and island landscapes of Maui, Lanai and Molokai.

Great Fall Fashion Tips for Standing out From the Crowd This Autumn

Leave a reply

If you are trying to stand out this autumn these fashion tips are sure to help you stay in style this season.

Over a quarter of people say that fall is their favorite season.

If you’re one of those people, you’re in luck as we’re now officially in fall. This means your skimpy sundress days are behind you and instead the winter clothing will soon be coming out.

But, in-between times, fall provides you with the chance to get creative and fashionable.

Who doesn’t love a sunny yet chilly day providing you with the opportunity to wear a dress, boots, and a leather jacket?

If you are trying to stand out this autumn season these fall fashion tips are sure to help you stay in style this season.

Choose Autumnal Colors

Let everyone know it’s fall by bringing out your pieces in autumnal colors. Burnt oranges, mustard yellows, dark greens all work well for this time of year.

If you’re someone who likes to keep their wardrobe minimal, choosing these colors is a great way to develop your fall capsule wardrobe.

However, if you want to break from convention, there’s nothing stopping you from mixing it up and throwing in some pastel shades or neon yellows!

Invest in High-Quality

At all times of the year, it’s worth investing in pieces which are of high-quality and will last a lifetime.

You’ll stand out from the crowd if you’re wearing something which looks well made. This doesn’t necessarily mean it has to be extremely expensive.

In a world of fast fashion, it may be impossible to find cheap high-quality products. But, look in second-hand stores and online.

To check the quality of a piece, look at the seam, the pockets, check the material and read reviews of the brand online before spending money.

Pick the Right Boot

A boot is your best friend during fall. It can be a beautiful statement piece to complete your outfit all the while keeping your feet dry!

Autumn showers are a fact of life, but this doesn’t mean you have to look bedraggled after getting caught in the rain!

Make sure you choose a shoe which is water-resistant. This fall, animal print boots are back in fashion. Why not consider a higher boot and pair this with a dress?

Where’s Your Statement Coat?

Another essential for fall is a statement coat. Choose something which works with the rest of your wardrobe.

A fall colored coat may be in a camel or dark red. There are many different options which work well.

As fall turns into winter, you’ll need to switch your coat from one of elegance to one of comfort. So, make the most of these drier days to enjoy a chic outfit!

Pull Out a Blazer

A blazer is a classic look for the fall. You can pair it with jeans for a dressed-down look or with a matching skirt for a smart business outfit.

Your blazer should be tailored if you want to stand out from the crowd. Having a jacket which fits will look better and make any outfit look more expensive.

Add an extra little element to your blazer by sewing on elbow patches. This look is interesting and cool. Not sure how to do this? Learn how to sew a patch, here.

Black Turtlenecks Are Back

The black turtleneck has made a comeback! No longer will you have to sit at your desk with a chilly neck as this item will keep you warm.

You may choose a variety of different colored turtlenecks which can be matched to a range of different outfits.

Pair a black turtleneck with tweed trousers and a chic winter coat for the ultimate fall wardrobe look!

Monochrome Is Chic

Are you looking for a simple outfit you can pull on in the morning that still looks chic? Monochrome is the answer.

Why not wear a white turtleneck with beige trousers? Or, how about wearing a black jumper with black trousers?

In order to look great while wearing monochrome, try wearing a lighter hue on top. This is flattering for most people.

When you’ve put your monochrome look together, pair it with your fall boots, and you’re ready to go!

A Scarf Is a Staple

It’s getting dark earlier and the temperature is dropping. You may be wearing the cutest outfit, but it certainly won’t look sophisticated if you’re shivering!

Pair your coat with a scarf. Choose something which works with the rest of your wardrobe.

Before you go out and spend money, why not look at one of the many scarves you likely already own?

If you have something in a plain color, this should work well. Stick with dark colors, such as black, which work with everything! Remember, the big, chunky scarf is still very much in fashion.

Match your scarf to your gloves. Choose a color which works and will keep you looking classy as you roll up in your coordinated outfits.

Accessorize, Accessorize, Accessorize

Tie your entire wardrobe together with the right accessories. This could be a simple necklace, a tasteful pair of earrings, or something bolder and out there.

You can choose. But, consider the implication of buying new jewelry. Why not buy pieces which are fair trade and doing some good for the world?

Nowadays, there are hundreds of brands which are doing right by the planet! You may consider checking Etsy to see homemade wares too.

Fall Fashion Tips Are Countless!

If you’re trying to build your wardrobe, don’t simply rush out and buy hundreds of fall fashion items. That’s one of the most important fall fashion tips!

You should be building your wardrobe slowly but surely over time to ensure that every piece will stand the test of time. Don’t be afraid to take something back to the shop if it’s simply not right for you!

Accessories to look like a celebrity

Leave a reply

Every woman loves jewellery! There is nothing better than updating your jewellery box with the season’s latest trends, which have been inspired by the hottest celebrities. After all, a single piece of jewellery has the capacity to completely change the vibe and feel of someone’s outfit and look. A pair of glistening earrings can turn a plain dress into the main attraction. A statement ring can turn a casual pair of jeans and a t-shirt into a quirky fashion forward ensemble. Let’s take a look at some inspiring celebrity trends that can help you pick the right pieces for yourself or if you’re looking to bag an on trend gift.

Can you guess what trend has made a comeback?

Hoop earrings are back, and we could not be happier! This trend dominated in the ’90s, and then it fell out of favour for a bit. However, it is back with a vengeance. If you want to ease your way back into this trend, Jessica Alba is a good person to emulate and by searching around you can easily find some nice pieces for yourself or for a friend. If you dare to be bold, check out Rosie Huntington-Whiteley’s hoop collection. She’s worn some incredible statement hoops as of late. Do you dare to be as bold as Rosie?

What’s the colour trend for the season?

When looking for the perfect colour to rock this season you should definitely be considering blue. Blue is a great colour for autumn and winter because it fits into the season’s colours yet it still has vibrancy and life in it. Moreover, it is a versatile colour – it goes with all sorts of outfits and styles. In addition to this, because there are so many different shades of blue, it means that there is a shade to suit all hair colours, all skin tones, all eye colours, and all tastes. If you are looking for a good place to start then try a necklace or a ring sporting an electric shade of dark blue. This is a great way to make a bold statement and attract attention.

Have you got statement pieces in your jewellery collection?

In addition to this, statement pendants are very much fashionable at the moment. If you are looking to buy jewellery online then you should search for a ‘cross necklace.’ These are extremely fashionable at the moment. They add a stylish and rocky element to any look. They can turn a pretty dress into an edgy outfit. There are tons of different cross necklaces available in stores at present and for that extra bit of glamour get one personalised either for yourself or as the perfect on-trend gift. Which one you opt for depends on your style and personality; there are dainty and small crosses, on the other hand, there are bold and elaborate crosses as well. There are lots of celebrities who have rocked this trend. Selena Gomez works this trend well. She is often seen wearing dainty gold cross necklaces.

Can you master the modern antiquity trend?

In addition to the colour blue and crosses, another aspect which is very much in fashion right now is modern antiquity. Nicole Richie is a master of this trend. This means that you should look for contemporary jewellery pieces that have antique aspects. These can be intricate carved designs, colours such as rusted orange and teal, tassels and alike. They give a beautiful and ornate vibe to any look. They are perfect additions to formal wear. However, their versatility means that they can be used to add a glamorous edge to a casual look as well. They are also timeless pieces which mean that they will probably never go out of fashion – and thus you need not worry about spending money on a jewellery item only for it to sit in your jewellery box and merely gather dust.

What about celebrity engagement ring trends?

From Cardi B to Scarlett Johansson; one thing these celebrities know how to get right is their engagement rings! Why not go for the ultimate gift of an engagement ring? You can easily personalise this with engravings or even by going for a bespoke ring. One trend which is beautiful and presents a wealth of different possibilities in terms of individuality is old school glamour. Vintage is well and truly back. Catherine Zeta-Jones has a beautiful antique engagement ring. Think about intricate details and ornate styles. The style of ring is delicate and feminine yet still has class and sophistication. Thus, it provides the perfect blend; it says that you’ve got sweetness but you still pack a powerful punch.

Would you ditch a classic diamond for a coloured one?

We’ve also noticed a surge in the popularity of coloured diamond rings as of late as well. Once it was all about colourless diamonds; the more transparent the better. However, thanks to celebrities going for unconventional gemstones, we have now seen this boom on the high street and in local jewellers too. Sapphire is a particularly popular choice because whilst blue is different it is still versatile. Nevertheless, one of the most beautiful and well-liked options at present is definitely yellow. Check out the stunning yellow diamond ring Heidi Klum used to wear when she was married to Seal.

So there you have it; the top trends in jewellery for autumn/winter. Remember that which style you opt to go for all depends on you and your look. You can adapt a certain trend to suit your style. After all, there are so many jewellery pieces to choose from these days. The only question which remains is; which look will you be rocking this season?
