CBD for Stress + CBD Holiday Deals

UPDATE

While the BOGO still applies to 2500mg and 5000mg CBD plus 6000mg softgel capsules, everything else in the Organica Naturals store is now 20% off with discount code GAYELEVY. As always, shipping to the US is free and there is a 60 day satisfaction guarantee.

In a shameless promotion, I want to share one of the best deals I have seen EVER from my favorite supplier of CBD oils, softgel capsules, and powders. This is for real: Organica Naturals has a two for one sale running between now and Sunday night. Everything in their store is included. Everything!

What does this mean in practical savings?

As an example, my husband uses the largest bottle of CBD capsules they sell. The bottle of 240 capsules is normally $340, but with the BOGO offer, I get 480 capsules for the same price. Smaller bottles start at $50 for 30 capsules so instead of a one month supply, you would get two months for the same $50.

For myself, I use Full Spectrum CBD oil. Why not the capsules? They are too strong for me since I only use 10mg to 20mg per day depending on my stress and anxiety levels. Let me explain.

Packaging Food for Long Term Storage Using Mylar Bags and O2 Absorbers

By Gaye Levy 3 Comments

I have always taken food storage seriously, doing my best to preserve the quality of my stored food using a combination of good packaging and proper temperature control. Over the years I have learned a few things.

First of all, packing dried foods in huge, 5-gallon buckets or bags is a non-starter. Second, storing food in a moderate climate such as Washington State is a whole lot different than storing food in super hot Arizona. That means that if food is not carefully packaged, it will go bad rather quickly. And by bad I mean inedible.

I have also learned over the years that practices for storing bulk foods vary widely, with some methods being both cumbersome and confusing. After all, with only two hands and two arms, there is just so much juggling of potentially heavy bags, buckets, and beans that a person can do without struggling and making a big mess. Been there, done that.

Today I am going to show you how I currently package bulk foods using dog food, a highly perishable item, as an example.

Create a CBD Rollerball for Joint & Arthritis Pain Relief

By Gaye Levy 4 Comments

Last week I was asked about how I am currently using CBD and specifically, how my husband was using CBD to conquer arthritis and joint pain. This was a timely question given that I recently developed a simple to make and simple to use rollerball/roll-on formula using CBD oil, essential oils, and fractionated coconut oil.

Why a roll-on formula?

As much as I love using all manner of salves, including CBD salve, a rollerball bottle is super portable. Furthermore, concocting a rollerball is as easy as adding CBD and essential oils to an empty bottle then topping with a carrier oil. There is nothing to melt, mix, or dissolve. Not only that, chances are the CBD you already have on hand is an oil and not a powdered concentrate or isolate. That means there is one less thing to buy.

I am thrilled to share my rollerball and essential oil formula with you and if it helps just one person get relief, the effort will have been worth it.
