The Vodka that promotes freedom of expression, acceptance and being yourself...

I received this product from Tom of Finland Organic Vodka for review.


Tom of Finland Organic Vodka, 40% abv is a super premium vodka that is artistically crafted in Finland from the finest organically grown wheat, rye and pure arctic water.  It's bold, yet smooth.  It's full of character, where the spiciness of the rye is balanced by the softness of wheat and arctic water.  It's 100% organic, with no added sugar - or anything else... just pure spirits and water.  It's produced in small batches with love and care by Master Distiller Mika Mönkkönen at Lignell & Piispanen, which is the second oldest family run company in Finland.  The vodka is distilled five times and filtered through traditional sheet filters.  When vodka is this good, charcoal filtering just isn't necessary.

Tom of Finland Organic Vodka has clean aromas with subtle hints of rye spice.  Unlike most vodkas, there is no burn whatsoever with this one.  When you take your first sip, it coats your mouth with a silky smooth oiliness.  The taste of vanilla cream soda leads to a crescendo of spice that hints at cracked black pepper with wonderful overtones of star anise.  It finishes with a high note of spice that is perfectly accompanied by a soft and mellow finish.    


A percentage of profit from each bottle is donated to Tom of Finland Foundation, a charitable organization founded by Tom of Finland and Durk Dehner that is dedicated to promoting tolerant attitudes towards sexuality and the preservation of erotic art.

Tom of Finland was an original pioneer artist, who 50 years ago drew a world based in his ideals.  His art transcends the physical realm as it speaks to universal emotions by showcasing a whimsical, unbridled spirit that exists in us all.  Through his art, he has influenced the aesthetic of icons such as Freddie Mercury, and trends including the modern civil rights movements.  Today his work can be seen in galleries and museums around the world, in pop culture and in film.  Books on Tom and his art are common place in book stores and museum gift shops.    

Tom of Finland Organic Vodka, like Tom's art, promotes freedom of expression and acceptance.  It encourages everyone to just be themselves.  When you bring out a bottle to serve someone, you're telling them that you love them and accept them exactly the way they are.

Reap the benefits of bee venom without having to get stung.

I received this product from VerveRx for review.


Purchase the VerveRx 3 Month Supply for $97.99 and get a free RTIC Tumbler.  VerveRx is the only FDA compliant Bee Venom Oral Supplement available in the U.S.A.  These tablets are gluten free and do NOT include genetically modified ingredients, colorants or synthetic filters.

  
These FDA compliant, easy to swallow daily tablets are made in the U.S.A. and come in a one month's supply bottle.  Each bottle contains 60 tablets to be taken two at a time, once a day to support the immune system, boost energy, promote strong bones and joints and to help ease inflammation.


For centuries Eastern medicine has used the holistic powers of royal jelly and bee venom to aid in the treatment of every day ailments, such as joint inflammation and low metabolism, autoimmune diseases and other life threatening illnesses.  VerveRx is the first oral supplement to combine both and be offered in the U.S.! 


Extracting bee venom in large quantities is very difficult, and the price has made widespread consumption too costly.  VerveRx extracts the bee venom naturally without hurting the bee.  So reap the benefits of bee venom in a daily tablet.

This CBD Bundle is a great choice for Valentine's Day!

I received these products from Kahlma for review.  Kahlma is spreading awareness on the incredible benefits of CBD through safe, high quality products grown in the USA.  Each of their products are designed with your wellness in mind.  They want everyone to experience how life changing CBD can be, while enjoying a holistic and natural approach to managing well being.

You can purchase the CBD Tincture for $40.  This tincture offers broad spectrum, THC free phytocannabinoid rich hemp oil and is crafted organically in the USA.  Each bottle contains 500mg of CBD in a 1 fl. oz. bottle.  It delivers 16.6mg of CBD per dropper.  Use as is straight out of the dropper or as an add in to your favorite smoothie, cup of coffee or favorite drink. 

You can purchase these CBD + Curcumin Soft Gels for $60.  These soft gels are designed to bring you all the benefits of Broad Spectrum CBD & Curcumin in one easy to take pull.  These water soluble soft gels are 2x more absorbable than any standard tincture oil available on the market.  This means quicker absorption and faster relief with a smaller serving size.

Balance and Wellness

I received this product from 180 PURE for review.  180 PURE is on a mission to source and curate the finest THC free premium whole hemp based CBD products.  They put in the work of discovering, testing and vetting to bring you a line of products that you can trust.  Every product they carry has ZERO THC, so you never have to worry.  They use the whole hemp plant (minus THC).  The plants are grown on American farms, with the proprietary strain of hemp that is naturally high in cannabinoids.  They also publish the 3rd party lab results for each product.  They rigorously control and test to ensure that critical attributes (taste, color, potency and purity) meet the highest standards.


The people at 180 PURE believe that when we're at our best, our bodies are naturally able to repair and restore themselves.  Their products were created to give us daily choices and trusted products to keep our bodies and minds naturally balanced and well.  

 
They believe that natural, 100% organically grown hemp from American farms has the power to promote wellness and bring balance to your life.  It does this by gently and effectively encouraging your own body's endocannabinoid system back to optimal function.  What we put into our bodies matters.  So make sure you use quality products. 

 
Life gets hectic for a busy Mom of 3.  When you have three active children to keep track of, it's understandable that you might find yourself feeling run down and exhausted.  And that exhaustion can affect everything from your complexion to your sleeping habits, energy levels, joint and muscle health and so much more.  Taking a CBD supplement can help all of these things.  The 180 PURE Premium Hemp Softgels are a perfect choice to try.  A bottle of 30 softgels costs $99.95.  The bottle recommends taking 1-4 per day, as needed, but I have been taking a single softgel each day and I have noticed a great improvement in the way I feel. 

These Broad Spectrum, Zero THC, CBD Softgels are created with a patent pending water soluble  PCR hemp oil.  They have an absorption rate of up to 4 times more than oils from other leading brands, thanks to the proprietary nanoemulsion technology.  The effects are consistent, predictable and long lasting.  Consistency is key, so for best results, use daily.  Keep at room temperature to preserve freshness and store away from humidity, heat and light.  Once I started taking these softgels, I quickly noticed a boost in my energy levels, better sleep at night, fewer aches and pains and much clearer skin.  Try it for yourself and see how good you feel when you achieve Balance and Wellness in your body.

These products will leave your skin feeling soft, hydrated and radiant!

I received these products from High Beauty for review.  High Beauty is one of the first skin care brands to formulate a whole skincare line with Cannabis sativa seed oil as the hero ingredient.  They chose Cannabis sativa seed oil because it is incredibly nutrient dense, it contains all twenty amino acids and is a great source of essential fatty acids.  They added in bioflavonoids and terpenes, replicating the whole plant benefits of Cannabis, giving you healthy, beautiful skin. 

                                                                              
The two products I received are High Expectations Cannabis Facial Oil and High Eye Q Cannabis Eye Gel.  I have rosacea and tend to get periodic breakouts.  The lotions and creams that I use to clear up those breakouts tends to leave my skin flaky and dry.  So I am always excited to try new products in an effort to find one that will solve both of these problems for me.  And these 2 products are working great!  And even though the ingredients includes Cannabis, both products are free of THC and CBD.


High Expectations Cannabis Facial Oil retails for $54.00.  You can meet your skin's highest expectations with this facial oil that is expertly formulated with the highest level of Cannabis sativa seed oil (it contains 32% Cannabis sativa oil), certified organic plant oils, high potency antioxidants and pure plant essential oils.  I am amazed at how clear my face is since I started using this a few days ago.  And there are no dry patches on my face at all, my skin is perfectly moisturized.  The oil absorbs instantly and gives you high speed results.  Within a few days it will intensively repair and replenish your skin.  I began to see results in my own complexion within hours of the first application.  To use, simply apply nightly after cleansing.  Warm several drops of oil in your palms and then smooth over your face, neck and decollet.



High Eye Q Cannabis Eye Gel retails for $42.00.  Realize your highest eye Q by using this gel that is expertly formulated with Cannabis sativa seed oil in combination with certified organic plant oils, high potency antioxidants and pure plant essential oils.  High Eye Q provides a cooling effect while reducing puffiness around the eyes and smoothing any fine lines.  It also provides hydration for healthy, beautiful skin.  To use, dispense several pumps between fingers, then apply with light tapping motions around the eyes, making sure to include your eyelids.
