HERBIVORE Cannabis Sativa Hemp Seed Oil and Jade Facial Roller / BEBOE Calming CBD Pen

Herbivore Cannabis Sativa Hemp Seed Oil locks in moisture and gives my skin a nice glow. I use about 5-8 drops day and night with my Jade Facial Roller. The facial roller helps absorb more product into my skin, promotes lymphatic drainage, and reduces puffiness (Tip: place the roller in the refrigerator or on ice).

Beboe’s Calming CBD Pen is made from all-natural hemp plants and it can help curb anxiety, relieve pain, and even reduce inflammation without any of the psychoactive effects of THC.

EVENING SKINCARE ROUTINE

I start with this gentle and moisturizing Kahina Beauty Cleanser and I cleanse again with the Boscia Detoxifying Black Charcoal Cleanser. I double cleanse because the cream or oil based cleansers help dissolve make-up, and sunscreen. The foaming cleansers helps clean the residual oil and dirt from pores.

After drying my face, I spray my skin with Rose Geranium Facial Tonic. Some toners can be drying but this one helps my skin get hydrated so my serums and moisturizers can penetrate my skin better.

Next step, I massage my Herbivore Botanics Pink Cloud Cream into the skin and when my skin needs extra hydration I add a few drops of Herbivore Botanics Phoenix Facial Oil. If you have combination skin you may want to try this facial oil. I finish off with a Facial Roller which help products absorb better into your skin.

Goodnight.

AH_Soup_01.jpg

INGREDIENTS
3-5 Cloves of Garlic
2-3 Tbsp of Coconut Oil (or Ghee)
2 Cups of Carrots
2 Cups of Celery
2 Cups of Onions
1 Small Sweet Potato
Half a head of Cauliflower
2 inch Piece of Fresh Turmeric
A sprig of thyme or some bay leaves
Himalayan Pink Salt to taste


DIRECTIONS

1. In a large pot over medium heat, melt the coconut oil or ghee butter. As soon as it's melted add the onions and garlic, cook for a few minutes and soften. Add carrots, celery, sweet potato and cauliflower and salt. Let everything cook for a few more minutes while stirring.

2. Add 6-7 cups of water (option to replace 1 cup with a can of coconut milk for silkier texture) Bring to a boil and reduce heat to medium and cook for 25 minutes.

3. Use a handheld blender to blend the soup directly or transfer soup to blender and puree until smooth. 

I love adding fresh cilantro, microgreens and/or chopped avocados to my soup too.
