My reviews: WYLD Cannabis Infused POG Gummy – Sativa enhanced. 100mg THC/100mg CBG

The flavor of this gummy can only be described as out of this world. It’s a “happy” flavor. It’s really fruity and reminds me of when we lived in Hawaii.
This cannabis gummy not only has THC but is also enhanced with CBG. CBG is not psychoactive, however the effects are uplifting and similar to caffeine. This is a bonus for me because I don’t drink caffeine.
This is what the gummy looks like. It can be easily dosed into 10g pieces. I usually end up biting half or a 1/4 off depending what I am working on. I like taking my edibles after I have had a meal, the effects seem to last longer.
The combo of THC/CBG is very effective for me when it comes to focusing on a project. I did inventory the other night and the focus I had really helped me make it through the night, It didn’t hurt that my sour mood from working late was also alleviated and I was giggling to myself most of the evening. Working a challenging shift helps when I have a huge smile on my face and in my heart.
I usually pick these up from the dispensary down the street. They are $9. On Wednesday, it’s WYLD Wednesday and all the WYLD products are 30% off, it’s a great day to get them.

Why I Gave Up Meat: A Personal Journey

Posted in Food, UncategorizedTagged , , , , , , Leave a comment

He died at 60 from heart disease. I remember him eating a lot of meat and he cooked everything in bacon fat that he left in a can near the stove. My parent got divorced when I was in second grade and my mom was not much of a meat eater or cook. There were specific dishes she would cook and we ate out a lot. One of my favorite dishes she used to make was ground beef and rice stuffed bell peppers.

When I got into my late 20s I started noticing that I would get really bad heartburn when I ate meat so I stopped eating it. After about 15 years I tried eating it again but the heart burn came back with a vengeance so I decided meat was just not for me anymore. I don’t miss it because there are so many alternatives these days.

For me, it’s not a healthy choice because it doesn’t make me feel good and as time has passed, I really can’t imagine myself eating it ever again, I just prefer a plant based diet most of the time. As I have gotten older I trust my body a lot more to tell me what it needs and once in while I may crave fish, if that’s the case, I take advantage of the situation and take myself out somewhere nice for fresh fish.

Essential Strategies for Affordable Grocery Shopping

Posted in gratitudeTagged , , , , , , Leave a comment

My bank sent me a little something that showed how much I was spending on different things like groceries, entertainment, and gas among other things. I was really surprised to see how much I was spending on groceries. I know prices have went up, I work at a well known market and am always saying, “that used to be…” as in the dollar price.

I used to have a list and would go to different stores and I need to start doing that again. I think we stopped because it was so time consuming. We both work 40 hours a week like most people and would like to be doing something other than grocery shopping when we are not at work.

Preparation is key, if we leave early in the morning with a list – we can be home before noon.

Here are some other tips that have been helpful to me:

  1. Making a list of what we need.
  2. Checking prices at the stores I shop most at by looking at their weekly/monthly flyer online.
  3. Using the Ibotta app for any additional discounts.
  4. Loading coupons onto my phone from stores that have digital coupons.
  5. Go grocery shopping after we eat.
  6. Upload my receipt to Receipt Hog for points.

I am grateful for that info from the bank because now I can make some positive changes before I go to the store.

What’s your grocery store plan? Have you noticed the prices of just simple stuff going up? Do you use receipt apps? It is the beginning of the month so a great time to start a new plan and see what the results are.

My reviews: Rainbow Geek Bar – Orange Dreamsicle

Posted in Cannabis, Chocolate, Edibles, MarijuanaTagged , , , , , , , , Leave a comment
This flavor reminded me of the 50/50 bar from the ice cream man back in the day. Remember the one with the orange popsicle on the outside and vanilla ice cream on the inside?
Each bar is easily divided into 10 pieces and each piece is 10mg of THC. I usually have one or two pieces depending on what I am doing. If I eat too much of any edible it just makes me really tired. I also don’t like to eat too many edibles because it brings up my tolerance and then when I smoke it’s not as effective.
The nerds were an interesting touch. It does make it a little hard to cut into pieces. This company also has a gummy candy covered with nerds and I like those a lot better. The gummy and crunch from the candy are a great combo.
I just noticed all those funky colors in the ingredients. It’s most likely from the nerds which sucks because all the other ingredients are pretty legit. I mostly stay away from artificial colors and generally bad ingredients in my every day food and this year I need to do the same with my edibles. I also just noticed the date, almost a year old. I hate that, these are things I just forget to look at when I am in the dispensary and I would suggest that you look at the date when buying anything at the dispensary – I am going to make it a priority of mine this year. 😉
I guess I noticed those colors before when writing this. My boyfriend would say,” El Dopa!” He always says that when I have a stoner moment.

Thank you for stopping by and reading my stuff. It is appreciated.
