MEREBA – AZEB

Mereba Announces New EP AZEB

New Single “Rider” Soars to No. 5 on SoundCloud’s Top 50: R&B & Soul Chart 

 After dazzling fans with her enchanting new record, “Rider” last Friday, rising polymath Mereba is ready to deliver her forthcoming EP AZEB.

Pre-order HERE.

Titled after her middle name– which means where the Sun rises – AZEB represents light and provides refuge for those looking to move away from the darkness in their lives.

“This year has shown us that that is actually more of us than many people thought.,” says the singer. “I want to remind people of love, too. The very thing we deserve the right to do, and to be.” In her latest record, “Rider,” Mereba aims to be the ultimate partner for her beau by cultivating true love in its purest form. The record currently sits at No. 5 on the SoundCloud Top 50: R&B & Soul chart. Fans can pre-order the EP now.

Last month, Interview Mag featured the songstress in their latest issue. Mereba also took part in an enlightening interview/performance for Klipsch Audio’s newest series, Out Loud. There, she performed a unique medley and incorporated her standout record, “Planet U.”

Los Angeles-based singer, songwriter, and producer Marian Mereba, known as Mereba, got her start with a series of folk-soul hybrid releases. These releases include her self-released EP Room for Living, an alternately spacy and rustic set accompanied by her own guitar playing and production. In 2018, Mereba released her first singles through major-label Interscope. A 9th Wonder collaboration titled “Black Truck” marked her official debut that February. Mereba’s debut was followed by the release of “Planet U,” which she produced herself with co-production from Ayo Olatunji and Sam Hoffman.

Both tracks were included on her groundbreaking debut album The Jungle Is the Only Way Out, which arrived in February 2019 and featured appearances from 6LACK and J.I.D. The acclaimed project earned praise from Vogue, Pitchfork, Billboard, Earmilk, Hypebeast, and Ones to Watch, who noted that “Mereba has pushed the boundaries of R&B and established herself as a voice of the future.” Her innovative offering earned her an invitation to NPR’s coveted Tiny Desk for both a solo set in 2019 and a set alongside the genre-bending collective Spillage Village in 2020, of which she is a member. She also appeared on Dreamville’s now-platinum Revenge of the Dreamers III in 2019, which earned her her first Grammy nomination in 2020.

Popular Wall Art Types to Display in Your Home

By: Paul Williamson

Walls are the perfect way to harmoniously unite your interior while transforming the entire feel and tone of your home.

However, one issue many homeowners struggle with when it comes to decorating their walls is choosing the perfect wall art decoration. This is mainly because there are so many types, which makes people feel uncertain about which one will best fit into their decor.

To help you make the right decision, here is a brief list of the five most popular wall art types you can display in your home.

Canvas prints

If your home is decorated following a modern or traditional interior design style, canvas prints are an excellent choice. They are very versatile as they come in many sizes, colors and designs. You can easily match or contrast your canvas prints with the rest of your decor. You can hang canvas prints above the living room sofa or your bed to make them the focal point in the room.

Wall mirrors

Wall mirrors have recently become a very popular wall art decoration. A major reason is because they have the ability to reflect light, which helps increase brightness in the living space and widen even the smallest, darkest rooms in the house. They also come in many sizes, shapes and designs, and can be flawlessly incorporated into every room of your home.

Tapestries

If you are looking for an original wall art decoration, then tapestries are the perfect option for you. One of the reasons why people choose them to refresh their interior is because they can add art and color to a room without having to paint the walls. They are also available in any size and shape, and can be hung in many creative ways.

Hanging plants

If you want to avoid hanging traditional pieces of art, you have the option of decorating your walls with hanging plants. The best thing about this wall art type is that you can be innovative. You can make your own art display using plants and various colored flowers. You can also opt for multicolored plant pots to hang from rope or a wooden branch.

Lighting fixtures

Another less traditional wall art type you can opt for are lighting fixtures. You can find them in many sizes, shapes and styles. You can place lighting fixtures either next to or above another wall art decoration to illuminate it’s presence. Wall sconces are among the most popular types of lighting fixtures, of which you can easily incorporate into a living room gallery wall.

Final thoughts

Having a well-decorated wall is the perfect way to provide a homey finishing to your living space. It gives you the opportunity to make your home both polished and functional at the same time. In case you need inspiration, you can use our post as a reference to choose the most suitable wall art decoration for your interior.

Visualizing Your Imagination Through a Piece of Art, Made Just For You by Joshua Taustein

Like many people, Anna Phillips is a dreamer and starts off each year with a new list of personal and professional goals and dreams.  However, people soon get distracted with school, work, family, or other life responsibilities, and lose sight of what they hoped to achieve in the year ahead.

One year, Anna received a Dreame phone cover as a gift. “I was matched with an artist from Ireland, who took all of my goals and placed them in picture form on the back of a phone cover. Every time I looked at my phone, I was looking at my goals for the year, which kept me on track. Among the things I was able to accomplish that year were taking a vacation with my dad, enrolling in a salsa dancing class, and even planning a kick-ass birthday party for myself.”

Dreame (pronounced Dreamy) is a collective of artists, dreamers, and co-creators from around the world.  Sharonna Karni Cohen co-founded Dreame after envisioning a world in which anyone can express themselves through their imagination, achieve their goals, and feel like creators–without necessarily having any artistic talent.

“I started Dreame after I would endlessly scroll through newsfeeds, slowly losing myself to the lives of others,” said Sharonna Karni Cohen, co-founder of Dreame. “I felt I had lost an understanding of why I am special–each of us are unique, especially when it comes to our own imaginations and ability to create. I never succeeded in art class, but I always fascinated others with my stories and imagination. There is a strong connection between the dreamers without artistic skills and the artists around the world seeking new opportunities.”

By creating an artistic vision board–including choosing a style and colors, uploading photos, and most importantly, sharing their dreams–anyone can turn their dreams into a unique piece of artwork, just like Anna did through the Dreamlist. One of 500 well-respected artists from around the world will then take this information to create a personalized art piece that will be framed and shipped to their home within two weeks of placing the order. This art can also be framed or placed on a variety of items that people use every day. It can also be included on items such as journals, yoga mats, phone cases, or prints.

Dreame also offers the opportunity for dreamers to pick their own artist from its Artist Collective. Dreamers can write their story, upload a photo, and then see their own story turned into a unique piece of art.

Seeing success in helping people visualize their personal dreams, stories, and ideas, Sharonna brought Dreame into the office and started The Dreame Workshop. This is a team bonding exercise that uses art and creative discussion to help employees visualize their company’s values and future direction while also manifesting their personal and professional goals.

The empowering and imaginative workshop opens up employees’ creative side, answers questions they haven’t considered before, and brings everyone together to discuss their personal dreams as well as dreams related to the future of the company they work for. Following the workshop, employees will have a clearer vision for the future of their company, the culture, and their own role in building this future. There is also an option to turn everyone’s collective goals into a unique piece of artwork, which can be hung in the office or placed on a variety of everyday items. The unique artwork created at previous Dreame Workshops has served as a visual asset for corporate materials. Additionally, these artworks have served as office art installations and swag for companies like Google, PayPal, IBM, UBS,  Amdocs, WSC Sports, and more.

The Big Dream envisions the future of countries around the world and is inspired by hundreds of personal dreams. All of these inspirations that have been turned into different pieces of art are then puzzled together to form a collective dream. It began in 2017 when Dreame began creating works of art based on dreams from individuals in schools, cities and associations in Tel Aviv and Jerusalem. This artwork was digitally scanned and sliced, and then printed onto 1,500 yoga mats, which were then puzzled together in Rabin Square in Tel Aviv. A video of the 2017 Big Dream is available here.

This year, Dreame has partnered with other organizations and companies, including The Ramon Foundation, and The Peres Center for Peace and Innovation for The Big Dream. This will allow people to share their personal dreams and then see them projected around the world through the creation of a unique piece of artwork. On Tuesday, September 21, which is International Peace Day, this piece of artwork will be projected at locations such as the Peres Center; the Old Royal Naval College in London; the Tower of David in Jerusalem; the Leopold Museum in Vienna;  and the ZAZ10TS gallery in Times Square in New York City. The final destination will be aboard a flight to the International Space Station as part of the ‘Sky’ mission with the second Israeli astronaut in space, Eytan Stibbe. The Big Dream has the capacity to encapsulate more than 100,000 dreams. Everyone is encouraged to share their dreams on this website, and can then standby and watch their dreams projected around the world.

About Anna

A few years after she had her dreams included on her phone cover, Anna Phillips continued to dream big. Originally from San Diego, she worked and traveled around the world.  She was now living in Israel, while Nir, her Israeli boyfriend, lived in New York City. Nir shared a dream he had of one day camping together with their children and looking at the stars together.

Anna worked with a Dreame artist from China to turn this dream into a painting, which hung in Nir’s home for a couple of years. “This became an important part of our relationship and was a foreshadowing of what was to come.” Soon after that, Anna worked with the same Chinese artist to create another unique piece of artwork. This time, it was a signal to Nir that Anna was ready to take the next step in their relationship and tie the knot. Today, Anna, Nir, and their daughter Liviyah are all dreaming together.

The Best Ways To Keep Cars Smelling Fresh

Most people consider their car their second home. As such, they want to keep it smelling fresh. Some car upkeep methods are simpler or more involved than others, but all of them help to keep the interior of the car smelling clean and fresh.

If you are thinking of buying a new car but are limited on budget, a used car may be suitable. A good, used car can last a long time, and save you a lot of money. A bad used car can get you stranded, cost you a lot of money, and make you regret buying it to begin with.

So, how can you tell the difference? The detailed history report of the vehicle not only provides a complete vehicle history; but also includes an in-depth vehicle inspection that can reveal hidden damages that may cost you. With the report, you can see if your dream car has a history of accidents, flood damage, outstanding finance, and much more.

Here are some simple ways you can implement to keep your car smelling fresh, and new.

  1. Regular wash

A clean car will always smell better than a dirty one. The reason is simple: dust and dirt make their way into the smallest places and accumulate there, resulting in a stale, unpleasant odor. Although you may be tempted to clean your car inside and out, it is the little things that you do on a regular basis that will really make a difference. Regular washing can also keep the car exterior looking new and also prevent the car from getting rusty.

  1. Odor eliminators

Let’s face it, nothing is better than a fresh-smelling car. On the contrary, nothing is worse than an odor-ridden car. The smell of human sweat, body odor, gas, pet odors, cigarette smoke, and countless other unpleasant scents can make a car feel like an unpleasant place to be.

Newer cars come with special air fresheners built into the air vents, but it’s still not the same as a completely fresh smell. If you are looking for a more long-term solution to odors, then it’s time to look at using odor eliminators. The odor eliminators do not only get rid of the smell, but also deodorizes it as well.

  1. Avoiding food on the floor

Food residue left in the car can cause a bad smell, especially if you do not clean it frequently. Believe it or not, a simple piece of advice is responsible for keeping your car smelling fresh: don’t eat in the car. While it’s tempting to eat while driving, you should resist the urge–not only because it’s distracting, but also because it’s a major cause of smelly, dirty cars.

Eating in your car may cause you to drop food on the floor, which will make the car smell bad. This can make a car’s interior very unsightly, and may even damage some of the interior components.

  1. Regularly remove trash

The interior of a car can get easily filled with various kinds of trash, especially if you drive a lot. If debris is not removed regularly, it can start to smell bad. This applies to all kinds of trash, including empty water bottles, paper napkins, and food wrappers.

Cars contain a lot of trash, and that trash builds up. For example, if you have leftovers from a picnic in your car, it can take a day or two for the odors to fully dissipate. It can be an annoying chore but removing garbage regularly can help keep your car smelling fresh.

  1. Clean the mats

Car mats are also an important part of keeping the car smelling fresh. They act as a barrier to stop dirt and grime from entering the carpet.

Since the floors of a car or truck is generally the dirtiest part of the vehicle, all kinds of grime and dirt settle in the mats of the car. But, if you simply vacuum them regularly, you can ensure that they are always as clean as possible. That way, you will get the best protection against grime, dirt, and car odors.

  1. Use baking soda to absorb odors

Baking soda is a safe, easy, and inexpensive product that can rid cars of smells that linger. Baking soda is often used in baking recipes, but it’s also an odor absorber.

  1. Keep windows rolled down

One of the simplest methods to keep the car smelling fresh is to keep the windows rolled down. This is because the natural wind helps eliminate some of the odors.

  1. Avoid smoking inside the car

When your car is used as a smoking room, the smell of smoke may stay for a long time and can be very difficult to eliminate. Most people like to smoke inside their cars, but it can be dangerous for you, as well as others.

The smoke is not only a health hazard, but can also make your car smell really bad. If you want to keep your car smelling fresh and clean, you should never smoke inside the car. Eliminate the smell of cigarette smoke by removing the source of the smell.

Conclusion

Having a fresh car doesn’t just make you feel good, it can also increase the resale value of your vehicle. It’s worth remembering that a car is not simply a metal box on wheels–it’s something you live in every day. It is bound to get a little dirty, and it’s perfectly normal if it doesn’t smell like a rose garden. All you need to do is follow the best ways to keep your car smelling fresh.

The Heat Is On: All English Champions League Final

The Premier League is often cited as the world’s greatest soccer league. Full of bitter rivalries and immense talent, people from around the world tune in each week to watch the English league. That’s why the upcoming UEFA Champions League final feels special. Set to take place on May 29, the imminent Premier League title winners in Manchester City face off against the titans that are Chelsea FC. It’s hard to say who will get their hands on the coveted trophy.

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola is no stranger to a Champions League final, having won it twice with Barcelona over a decade ago. However, Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel reached the final with PSG just last year, narrowly missing out on grabbing the title. Manchester City is edging the competition as favorites in the UEFA Champions League Final betting, though, with odds of -200 compared to Chelsea’s +163. Despite this, it’s not an easy game to call. Chelsea have already beaten the Man City twice this season, even though they’re a few places below them in the league table. With two of the best managers in the world going face to face, these previous results suggest an interesting match to say the least.

The Pressure Is On

Pep Guardiola may have won the Champions League twice with Barcelona, but his success in Europe since that stint has been very limited. Without denying the weight of his achievements, the Barcelona team he managed is often referred to as one of the best teams to have ever graced a soccer pitch.

In terms of his European record with Manchester City, Pep has failed to make much of an impact, and some pundits suggest that this will put Pep under more pressure than his opponent. While this is undoubtedly a possibility, some have argued that his European experience will put him in a better position than his opponent.

Tuchel took over as Chelsea manager after the firing of Frank Lampard in January. Since then, he has guided his club to a top four spot in the Premier League, an FA Cup final and a Champions League final. Needless to say, that’s pretty impressive for his first few months on the job. Regardless of his achievements this season, his European football pedigree is much less full than Guardiola’s.

He managed to reach the Champions League final with Paris Saint Germain last year, but came away empty-handed. Will the same happen again this time, or will Chelsea beat Manchester City for the third time within a year?

May The Best Team Win

Just one look at the history of these two teams and their respective managers makes for an interesting pairing. City, who became a super team relatively recently, have a very experienced manager in Pep Guardiola. Chelsea, who have dominated soccer games for longer, have a somewhat new but extremely exciting manager in Thomas Tuchel.

When you take all of this into account, it’s easy to imagine that the world is in store for an extremely exciting game. May the best team win.

Weekly News Roundup: Week of May 10

Biden’s Spending Plan for Education

President Biden is planning to enact higher taxes on the wealthy to go towards free preschool, two years of free community college for young adults, and national paid leave. The 1.8 trillion spending and tax plan is aimed to expand education, while increasing the US’ social safety net, supporting women in the workplace, and decreasing the cost of child care. The New York Times recognized Biden’s tax plan as “ the biggest expansion in federal support for higher education in at least half a century.”

Increasing Vaccination Numbers in the EU

The pace of people being administered the COVID vaccine in the European Union is steadily rising. Just last week, nearly three million doses of the vaccine were being administered daily according to Our World in Data, a University of Oxford database. The EU is primarily utilizing the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine. The New York Times reports that in a rate adjusted for population, the amount of people being administered the vaccine daily in the EU is now roughly equivalent to the US. Usula von der Leyen, the European Commision president, announced her goal of vaccination 70 percent of adults in the EU by the end of the summer. Due to an early shipment of doses from Pfizer last month, and the company’s partnership with BioNTech, it is predicted that this goal will be reached.

DarkSide Ransomware Attack

On Monday, President Biden announced that the United States will “disrupt and prosecute” the criminal gang of hackers, DarkSide. The hackers have been the culprit of a huge ransomware attach that effected the flow of gasoline and jet fuel supplies to the country’s East Coast. Federal investigators believe that the attackers aimed at uncovering corporate data and back-office operations, rather than taking control of the pipelines. After taking note of the ransomware attack that which locked Colonial Pipelines–up a major pipeline in Texas that transported gasoline, diesel, and jet fuel from Texas’ Gulf Coast to New York Harbor– the F.B.I. sent out an emergency alert to other pipeline operators and electric utility and gas suppliers. Colonial Pipelines has remained closed since the attack and hopes to restore operations by the end of this week. The city governments of Atlanta, New Orleans, and the Washington D.C. Police Department have also been victim to DarkSide’s attacks.

Violent Clash Between Palestinian Protesters and Israeli Police in Jerusalem

Recent escalations between Palestinians and Israeli Jews regarding control over a single neighborhood in Jerusalem has exploded into major conflict. Israeli efforts to eradicate Palestinians from parts of the city have incited upset between the two groups. While Israeli Jews attempt to ensure Jewish landownership and control over East Jerusalem, Palestinians argue that their attempts are illegal and a form of ethnic cleansing. On Monday, right-wing Israeli protestors and the police erupted into military conflict with Palestinian protesters. As a result of a raid on the Israeli police on the Al Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem, Gaza militants retaliated with rocket fire. Countering, Israeli airstrikes were fired back. Due to the violent conflict, at least twenty Palestinians have been killed, including nine children.

Offshore Wind Plan to Create Thousands of Jobs

On Monday, the Biden Administration announced their plan to use offshore wind power along the East Coast. Through utilization of off-shore wind turbines in coastal waters nationwide, the plan is aiming to deliver 30,000 megawatts of wind power to power 10,000 homes by 2030, reports the New York Times. To start, the eco-conscious project will begin in the nation’s first large-scale offshore wind farm off the coast of Martha’s Vineyard. It is predicted that offshore wind deployment projects will create 44,000 new jobs in the offshore window sector and 33,000 other new, indirect job positions. According to the American Clean Power Association, “States along the East Coast are driving demand for offshore wind. Connecticut, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, and Virginia have established targets to procure a total of 25,400 MW of offshore wind by at least 2035 and have selected over 6,000 MW of projects as of February 2020 to help meet these goals.”

CDC Announces Vaccinated People Rarely Need Masks

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention announced this week that fully vaccinated people don’t need to wear mask in most situations. Whereas it is still encouraged for vaccinated people to wear a mask inside to contribute to the culture of mask wearing, they are at virtually no risk of disease and minuscule risk of transmitting the virus to others. The New York Times talked to Dr. Paul Offit, the director of the Vaccine Education Center at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia: “The Moderna and Pfizer vaccines are ‘essentially 100 percent effective against serious disease.’”

Furthermore, it has been announced that there have been few, if any, instances of COVID-19 transmission occurring from brief outdoor interactions. The risk of exposure from outdoor contact is too small to lead to infection.  However, unvaccinated people are still advised to wear masks when in close conversation with people both outdoors and indoors, when not at home.

However, with the child population of Americans unvaccinated, it raises questions about how families will be able to return to normalcy. While children under 16 haven’t been eligible to receive the vaccination, their demographic poses a low risk to fatal coronavirus cases. For children, it is believed that COVID-19 presents no greater risk than the average flu season. As America looks towards the rest of 2021, it can be hoped that a return to normalcy will soon come.

Best CBD Oil Companies

Top Brands to Try in 2021

CBD oil is currently the go-to alternative for people dealing with physical and mental health issues. The organic compound that’s found in the cannabis plant helps to effectively promote wellness. It works naturally with the endocannabinoid system to promote homeostasis. Due to its versatility, companies use CBD to make a wide range of products, including CBD oil. In this review guide, we analyze the best CBD oil brands in the market currently.

CBD stands for cannabidiol, which is the second most prevalent compound found in the cannabis plant. It’s an essential component of the formulation of medical marijuana since it has a wide range of medicinal properties.

CBD oil is usually made after extracting the cannabidiol compound from the cannabis plant. The extract is then diluted with a carrier oil, such as hemp seed oil or coconut oil, to create CBD oil.  The use of CBD oil is quickly gaining more momentum in the health and wellness sector thanks to its many health benefits.

Its flexible nature means that you can find it in several variations. So, in the next section, we look at the main types of CBD oil.

Top 5 CBD Oil Brands:

How The CBD Oil Brands Made It To The List

As a buyer, you should always exercise caution when buying CBD oil online. This is because while there are many brands that give you lots of options, the quality of the products isn’t the same. There are some brands that are only interested in making coins without catering to the needs of the consumers.

To come up with our top five picks of the best CBD oil brands, we did comprehensive research. The specific parameters and criteria we implemented will give you the clarity that you need in order to make the correct purchasing decisions. They include:

  • The source of the hemp plant
  • The method of extraction
  • Potency and flavors
  • Independent third-party lab tests
  • Price
  • Brand reputation

The Source of the Hemp Plant

The source of the hemp extract is important because hemp plants are bio accumulators. They normally absorb the elements found in its surroundings.  Hemp that comes from farms that use pesticides and other toxic chemicals are usually contaminated.

The best sources of hemp are from brands that use organic sources. The best thing about domestically sourced hemp plants is that most industrial hemp farmers usually follow the required laws and standards. So, you are guaranteed product safety in the end.

The Method of Extraction

There are several modes of extracting CBD hemp oil from the plant extract. However, not all of them are effective. Most brands that want to save on production costs normally use cheap solvent extraction techniques. However, the end product is usually contaminated and of low quality.

The best CBD oil products come from brands that use theCO2 extraction method. This is now what is considered as the industry standard because it’s effective, safe, and clean.

Type of CBD Oil

All types of CBD oils are usually extracted using the same method. However, the filtration process is what determines the contents of the end product. The best brands on the market mainly offer these three types of CBD oil products:

  • Full-spectrum: it contains CBD, terpenes, trace THC content, phytonutrients, and other health-boosting cannabinoids. However, the THC content is usually less than 0.3%.
  • Broad-spectrum: it’s pretty similar to full-spectrum CBD and its compounds except that it doesn’t contain any trace amount of THC.
  • CBD isolate: it’s an isolated CBD product that contains over 99% CBD content.

Potency and Flavors

Different medical conditions require different types of CBD oil strength. For instance, a mild everyday condition, such as a muscle sprain, will need a low concentrated CBD. On the other hand, chronic and severe medical conditions–such as arthritis–will require a CBD oil product with a higher concentration.

The best brands usually offer multiple potency options for the customers to choose from. Besides that, they also offer several flavor options to cater to different individual taste preferences.

Independent Third Party Lab Tests

With the medical cannabis industry being widely unregulated, it’s upon the manufacturer to ensure that they are selling quality products to consumers.

Reviewed brands usually subject all their product batches to independent third-party lab tests. You can find the relevant information from the certificate of analysis about the products’ purity, quality, and potency.

Price

While you might think that expensive is usually the best, cheaper can always be good as well. The best CBD brands in the market usually customize their prices to offer value for money. They are affordable products but ultimately, you will get what you pay for in the end.

The Brand’s Reputation

There are many brands that continue to market themselves as the best in the market. However, this isn’t truly the case. We did a comprehensive analysis to determine our reviewed brands’ legitimacy.

These brands are highly transparent about what they offer, including their source of hemp plants and the mode of extraction. Besides that, they have verifiable contacts, active websites, and physical addresses. Customer reviews also indicate that they sell high quality and effective products.

Types of CBD Oil and Which One is Actually The Best

The difference between isolate CBD, full-spectrum, and broad-spectrum CBD simply depends on the type of chemical compounds found in each of the products.

CBD Isolate

It’s sometimes referred to as true CBD. CBD isolate contains only CBD (i.e. cannabidiol compound) and it’s commonly used to make vaping products. It doesn’t have cannabinoids, healthy fatty acids, or terpenes from the hemp plant.

Full-spectrum CBD

It contains CBD as well as THC, terpenes, fatty acids, and other cannabinoids that occur naturally in the cannabis plant. Full-spectrum CBD oil is also known as whole-plant or full-plant extract.  It’s ideal for treating a wide array of medical conditions since it is synergistic and produces the entourage effect.

Broad-spectrum CBD

Broad-spectrum CBD has all the hemp plant cannabinoids and chemicals that are found in full-spectrum CBD, except for THC content.  It also produces the beneficial entourage effect.

Determining the best CBD oil among the three isn’t easy since each comes with its own benefits.  In terms of strength, both full- and broad-spectrum CBD oils are quite strong and more effective as compared to CBD isolate. This could be due to the presence of additional cannabis compounds that produce the entourage effect.

Benefits of CBD Oil

CBD oil is proving to be the most ideal source of alternative medicine. Its organic nature, in addition to health properties, makes it effective in promoting good health. So, some of the benefits that you can gain by using such a product include:

How to Use CBD Oil

So, you have found the type of CBD oil that you need. But how are going to use it? You can use CBD oil products in two main ways:

  • Take it as a sublingual: this means that you place the oil drops under your tongue. Wait for a couple of minutes before spitting the oil. The CBD compound will be sublingually absorbed into the bloodstream. This technique normally provides faster effects.
  • Oral ingestion: you can consume the oil drops orally with food and drinks. Simply place the required amount of CBD oil content into the edible and then consume it. However, the effects normally take longer to kickstart. This is because the CBD compound has to undergo the process of digestion before it’s absorbed into the bloodstream.

The dosage of CBD oil you take depends on factors:

  • The severity of your medical condition
  • Weight
  • Age
  • Sex

Note: For safety purposes, it’s usually advisable that you start with a small amount of CBD oil. This is to give your body enough time to adjust to the introduction of CBD content into the body. Besides that, small doses are perfect for estimating the type of CBD oil dosage that suits you. Thereafter, you can increase the amount gradually to find out what works for you.

Can You Trust CBD Oils That Are Cheap?

Are cheap CBD oil products safe? Well, you should first understand that the medical cannabis market isn’t as regulated as other prescription medications. Generally, there isn’t a guarantee that the product you are buying is 100% safe.

It’s not a guarantee that expensive CBD products are the best. On the other hand, it’s not obvious that cheap CBD products are less potent. All you have to ensure is the quality of ingredients used. Ensure that the ingredients are safe and offer value for the money spent.

How to Choose the Best CBD Oil

There is already a wide array of CBD oil brands on the market. So, you need to be careful when choosing where to buy your CBD oil products. To ensure that you choose a product that suits your needs you can this website to check unbiased reviews on different CBD Brands. Here are some of the key factors to look out for when choosing a seller:

High-Quality Products

How do you know that a retailer has high-quality CBD products?  It mainly depends on the extraction method used, as well as the formula used to make the CBD oil. These factors determine the difference ranges between legitimate and fake retailers.

You will find that legitimate retailers have full-spectrum, broad-spectrum, isolate CBD, or a combination of these products. The type of CBD will be well-labeled on the product package or container to avoid confusion.

THC-Free

While CBD is legal, it must contain less than 0.3% THC. The best CBD oil brands on the market normally produce THC-free products. This means that it can be full or broad-spectrum CBD oil, or simply CBD isolate.

Product Consistency

All legitimate brands normally produce the same, or improved, products consistently. Their formulations, as well as the amount of CBD in every product package, are usually almost the same. If you are interested in buying CBD oil online, look for a brand that has consistent formulations from one product batch to the next.

Variety of CBD Products

The variety can be in terms of CBD oil strengths, type of CBD, or flavors. We all have different taste preferences, as well as different needs. So, a good brand should offer you multiple alternatives to cater to your needs.

Logical Pricing

Due to the lack of regulations, it’s mostly up to the brand to come up with their own product pricing. This means that there may be a significant variation between similar products in terms of cost.

The best way to determine if you are getting value for your money is to look at the company’s product line (i.e. product weight and the cost). The product line should match the target audience’s needs.

The Company’s Policies

Choose a company that fits your standards. The best CBD oil brands on the market manufacture and sell organic products. Besides that, the use environmentally friendly packaging is one of the biggest policy indicators of a brand that aligns with current world needs.

Great Customer Care

As much as a high-quality product is important, service delivery is also critical. Retailers who don’t take their services seriously are most likely selling cheap or contaminated products.

A high-quality brand should have a well-structured communication system. This provides customers with the perfect way to make inquiries or post complaints.

Mistakes, mishaps, and delays are always going to happen due to unprecedented events. However, how a brand handles mistakes is what sets them apart and shows a true commitment to their customers. Customer support systems may include FAQs as well as product brochures that ensure you are familiar with what you’re purchasing.

Where to Buy CBD Oil?

The CBD market is growing at a rapid rate. That’s why you can now find CBD almost anywhere. New brands are constantly coming up and the existing ones are trying to competitively stand out. So, where is the best place to buy CBD oil?

Well, you can buy CBD oil online or in brick-and-mortar stores. However, due to the lack of regulations and a specific governing body, lots of products found in the market are of low quality due to contamination or inadequate CBD content.

To buy CBD oil, you have to do your own research and identify reputable brands, like the ones in this article review. Besides that, customers should always place your order directly from the manufacturer’s website.

The Legality of CBD

The sudden popularity of CBD oil’s use has taken years of legal campaigns to push for the legality of cannabis-based products. So, is CBD legal in America, and can you legally use it in your state?

Well, after the passing of the 2018 Farm Bill, it became legal for companies to produce and sell hemp and its extracts. It’s worth noting that CBD products from industrial hemp that contain less than 0.3% THC are legal federally.

Anything that contains more than 0.3% THC is classified as a schedule 1 drug since it contains psychoactive content. You should understand that different states have different cannabis rules. So, before you consider buying and using CBD, make sure that you understand your state’s laws.

There is no doubt that we are making significant strides regarding the legality of CBD and hemp products. But currently, there is only one CBD-based product that has been approved for use clinically. Epidiolex is a CBD drug for seizures that can be administered as a prescription drug.

The Bottom Line

CBD oil can help to treat a wide range of conditions. It’s ideal for promoting physical wellness and aiding mental health. CBD Oil is normally used in many forms, but oral intake is one of the most common techniques.

The above-reviewed CBD oil brands are among the best on the market. They consistently produce high-quality CBD oil in different flavors and concentrations. Besides that, these brands normally source from organic hemp plants. As such, you can depend on these brands for safe and vegan-friendly CBD oil. However, make sure that you exercise caution. Speak to your doctor first before using CBD medical oil.

Greg Grillz QxA

A glitzy collaboration between celebrity jeweler, Greg Grillz, and wide receiver for the NFL’s Pittsburgh Steelers, JuJu Smith Schuster, has resulted in a dazzling new line of custom grillz and high-end jewelry. The collection’s pieces are lovingly handmade in Los Angeles and available on Greg’s website. The duo also specializes in making one-of-a-kind jewelry pieces, such as customized chains, rings, watches, bracelets, and more. Brought together their friendship and a mutual appreciation for jewelry and fashion, JuJu and Greg’s partnership is a marriage of sport and luxury style. Here at 360 Magazine, we sat down with Greg Grillz and babbled about baubles, business, and big-name celebrity collaborations to come.

How did this collaboration between Greg Zaks, aka Greg Grillz, and JuJu Smith-Schuster begin? Who originally brought up the idea for a partnership?

Greg: I’m born and raised in Los Angeles and met JuJu through mutual friends while he was attending and playing football at USC. We immediately clicked. I was just starting in jewelry at the time and actually made him his first set of grillz. It was a simple gold bottom fang but that piece solidified our friendship. He loved them so much he asked me to make a custom pendant shortly after. Over the next few years we stayed in touch and JuJu kept an eye on my growth. One day he reached out and was curious to know more about my brand and the jewelry business. From there we had a conversation about working together which made it clear we had to solidify the partnership.

How did Zaks begin his venture into the jewelry business?

Greg: I have always loved and appreciated jewelry, but I never imagined being in the jewelry space until I reconnected with an acquaintance of mine who was a well-known jeweler back in 2013. As a college student, I began working him while his business was really taking off. He was like the don of Instagram back then, doing a bunch of jewelry pieces for celebrities like the Kardashians. I had a lot of ideas to improve the business that were rejected and shut down, so I came up with the idea to start my own company. This ended up turning into my prized possession, Grillz.

How did Zaks go about building such an impressive celebrity clientele and expanding his business?

Greg: When I started my business, I didn’t have any money–period. Which meant I couldn’t do any traditional ad campaigns. I made my way going out to various clubs in LA and connected myself with all the young up and comers. Everyone was growing together and looking to help each other, it was all very organic. Influencer marketing was key in the beginning stages. It’s given me notoriety and recognition in an industry that’s very dog-eat-dog. Using celebrities and influencers for shoutouts on social media in exchange for free jewelry and free grillz was everything.

For clients looking to order a custom grill, you are offering custom mold kits. What does the process of making a mold at home look like?

Greg: The process is very simple; we have created our own custom mold kits prepackaged with all the supplies necessary to do the teeth molds at home. We provide our customers with detailed instructions as well as an envelope with prepaid postage to send back to us. We have a high success rate and many people view the process as fun and easy. During Covid, this helped tremendously as many people were scared to meet in person. Being able to have mold kits delivered to customers helped eliminate a lot of the worry for people while still being able to create exactly what they wanted. We’d send the kits to the customer with instructions, they’d send it back with their design preferences and specifications, and a few weeks later, they’d have their own piece.

How do DIY molds for grills compare to having face to face consultations for custom grill pieces?

Greg: At Grillz, we have all the tools necessary for our customers to communicate exactly what they are looking for without the need for a face-to-face consultation. We have one of the largest online inventories of all private jewelry companies worldwide. We have everything from low end to high end merchandise in order to cater to our massive audience. Our merchandise includes solid gold and diamond earrings, bracelets, and necklaces. We have also recently expanded our collection to a wide variety of ready-made engagements rings. Overall, we have several ways of communications to ensure that all of our customers wants and needs are met.

When did Smith-Schuster’s interest in jewelry/style first begin? Is jewelry something he’s learned more about and recently become interested in, or has it been a passion project in the back of his mind for a while?

Greg: JuJu has always shown interest in fashion and jewelry. He stays up to date with the latest and greatest fashion trends. Thinking back on the first pieces I made for JuJu vs. what he’d be interested in now is a clear indicator of that. As long as I’ve known him, his sense of style continues to elevate as well as his taste in jewelry. By curating a more refined sense of style for himself, he is perpetuating our brand, as well as future partnerships.

What collaborations can we expect to see in the future from this partnership?

Greg: Currently we are creating a capsule collection with JuJu that will be exclusive to Grillz. We have many other future celebrity collaborations in the works with big names. We are constantly striving for greatness and looking to take our business next level.
