Here’s how I use CBD in my self care routine
By Carla Snuggs
Self care is vital to me and something I do on a regular basis. When is the last time you treated yourself to a day of pampering? Sometimes it’s really hard to meet our own needs because we are so focused on others, but it’s so important.
I tapped Suzette Smith, fitness guru and owner of Shelter Island Pilates & Barre, who offered some can’t miss self care tips. These tips are especially important while we are staying at home during this pandemic because we really do need an extra bit of love. Keep reading for some of Suzette’s tips and learn how I use CBD in my self care routine.
1. Remember the value of your time.
The first step to taking time for yourself is valuing your own time. Your time is precious, so don't just give it away! Take a moment to remember: your time and energy are limited and have a lot of worth. Start with this important reminder to set the stage for the season.
2. Care for your soul
Re-connect with the spirit…it’s about peace & love. Ask yourself what gets you connected to your heart. Get inspired: read a book, watch a movie or go to an event that makes your heart sing. Sit down and drink your tea while it’s still hot. Take time for stillness.
3. Care for your body
Take extra time to rest and nurture yourself. If we don't re-charge our batteries along the way, we'll be running on empty. Get a full 8 hours of sleep or take a nap when you need it. Cozy up by the fire, take a bubble bath or light a candle. Also don't forget that moderation is key: we all want to enjoy treats, but try to balance it out with nutritious food. Stay committed to your exercise routine--don’t put it on hold. Keep it up now to keep yourself in check.
Self Care with CBD
When it comes to caring for my body, I love using CBD inside and out. I recently got to try products from shopCBD and really love them. shopCBD partners with the best brands and only carry their very best CBD so that you get a safe, economical and consistent CBD experience every single time. They invest in their own independent lab testing to ensure that all our products pass every health and safety standard. They also test for CBD potency and verify every promise and every claim. They were just featured in Forbes for skincare products! Here are the two products I tried:
CBD Bath Bomb Lavender 50mg by Healthy Roots
This CBD Lavender Bath Bomb by Healthy Roots is a 50mg CBD bath bomb. It has a soothing combination of cbd and lavender, so it’s perfect for a good night’s sleep. Just add to bath water, let it fizz, and then enjoy. I can feel the tension immediately leaving my body as I give let the stress of the day melt away. It is so heavenly, so relaxing and so restorative. Plus, it smells amazing!
CBD Hemp Balm 180mg by Papa & Barkley
Before bed, I love relieving the aches and pains of the day with CBD Hemp Balm 180mg by Papa & Barkley! This natural, soothing balm has powerful essential oils like lavender, eucalyptus and peppermint and 180mg of full-spectrum CBD. I rub this into my sore muscles, especially my shoulders where I tend to get tech strain. It is so soothing and hydrating! If you want to enhance muscle relaxation and soothe nerve pain, I highly recommend!
Again, I love that shopCBD tests their products so I know I am getting exactly what I paid for. It really takes the guesswork out of buying CBD. Both products were lab tested for solvents, pesticides, microbial impurities and heavy metals and passed.
