A New Kind of Healthy w/ CBD Living - Review

This post has been kind of a complicated one for me to write because I am still in the process of learning of the CBD industry, the many benefits, and the technology/science behind it all.  It's taken me a very, VERY long time to come around to this industry and the idea that CBD is a very beneficial ingredient.  After seeing what it has done for both my sister and a close friend of mine, I began my research.
With an important part of wanting to try CBD products, being that the brand was more than just a sales pitch.  I discovered the brand CBD Living and instantly felt like this was the brand I needed to try.  Not only do they carry a variety of products for every need and taste but they thoroughly explain the CBD technology they use to produce such a high quality product.
Using 3 different delivery systems, you get to choose what product will work best for your body and lifestyle.  "CBD Living is dedicated to not only providing you with top quality CBD, but other nutrients that are vital for your health as well."  The first products we definitely wanted to try were the Tinctures and we picked out the Candy Cane and Pumpkin Spice Latte flavors as well as an unflavored Calming Tincture.  We also scooped up their Instant Black Coffee and a couple Milk and Dark Chocolate Bars.
Because we had an amazing variety of CBD Living products to try, I wanted to sample the products both alone as well as create a few recipes that would combine each of the products to give me sort of a "special treat".  Below are two of the recipes we made up:

CBD Living Peppermint Mocha Coffee (or Latte) - Serves 1
  1. Melt CBD Living Chocolate Bar in your favorite coffee mug (microwave on 50% power in 30-second intervals until nearly completely melted)
  2. Using a kettle, heat water (or milk / milk alternative, for a latte) until boiling and add to mug
  3. Stir in 1 tsp CBD Living Instant Black Coffee (7 mg CBD) and 3-5 drops of CBD Living Candy Cane Tincture, depending on how minty you want your drink to be
  4. Enjoy! You can also top with whipped cream, mini marshmallows and/or crushed peppermint candy for a truly gourmet treat. 

CBD Living Pumpkin Spice White Chocolate - Serves 6
  1. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine 2 cups whole milk, 12 ounces of white chocolate and 4 tsp cocoa powder.
  2. Stir mixture until ingredients are completely dissolved.
  3. Slowly add 1 cup pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling), 1 tsp cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg, 1/4 tsp cardamom, 1/8 tsp allspice and 1/8 tsp ground ginger. Stir.
  4. Add 3 cups whole milk, one cup at a time. Stir in 6 full droppers of CBD Living Pumpkin Spice Latte Tincture (any strength).
  5. Pour into mug. Top with whipped cream (optional) and enjoy! 

I was afraid that even though the products do NOT contain any THC that they may have a marijuana smell, flavor, or aftertaste.  Though, they honestly did not at all.  The tinctures both had a very subtle flavor with the Pumpkin Spice being the stronger of the two flavors in my opinion; The chocolate tasted delicious and creamy like any other chocolate; And the coffee smelled strong and tasted like a good but mild blend.  

We tried something different each day and very minimal at first.  After, I would say I felt a little more chill but never sleepy.  My husband says he felt the same.  After a couple days use, I actually felt my muscle tension was more relaxed especially in the evening hours when I normally notice the most pain.  My hope is that regular use will both help with my anxiety/stress levels as well as help with a few physical ailments as well.  

If you are planning to try out a CBD product or just looking for a brand to continue your CBD regimen, I highly recommend CBD Living.  They've even got something for the pets in your family too.  More than just providing you with a high quality CBD product, they have a variety of products with a great selection of flavors. My husband and I were both quite impressed with the products we sampled.  There are lots of other potential uses we are planning to try as well as a few other products I want to try!
