Living in the Pacific Northwest brings equal amounts of amazing and dreary to winter. To match my mood and immune-boosting needs of the season, I change up my daily CBD routine from October through March.

Since I work at Kush Queen, I’ve had the luxury of trying all the CBD, testing delivery methods and doses to find my perfect CBD routine. In this post, I share how I use Kush Queen products on an average winter day.

And yes, you can still be a KQ fan girl and work at the company, look at me :D 

My Daily CBD Routine Starts Every Morning

Time to Nourish My ECS and Set the Vibe

I’m a bit of an early bird, so my feet hit the floor between 6:00 - 6:30 am. First up, my morning routine, which includes the usual bathroom duties and my first topical dose of CBD. 

After washing and toning my face, I apply Defynt CBD Skin Serum. Defynt deeply moisturizes and calms my skin while giving the perfect daytime glow. I’m a bit of a renegade when it comes to skincare -  somedays I use Defynt, and that’s all, and others, I follow my CBD skin serum with a moisturizer.  

From the bathroom, I head straight to the kitchen where my wife is usually up, making our coffee. But first, a large glass of water and a dose of bäre CBD tincture.

 

Taking bäre consistently every morning nourishes my endocannabinoid system, which supports immune health and assists with maintaining homeostasis throughout the body. I’ve tried all bäre doses (500mg- 5000mg) and found my sweet spot with the 1000mg dose. Taking a whole dropper’s worth gives me about 33mg of CBD in the morning.

This dose of bäre has a unique ability to help me start every day in just the right way; equal parts chill and focused.

From here, I crack open my computer and start my day at Kush Queen.

Kush Queen CBD Products I use every morning:

• Bäre CBD Tincture, 1000mg
• Defynt CBD Skin Serum

Afternoon Break and Mood Boost

CBG Gummies To the Rescue

The post-lunch slump is something that we can all relate to. Whether it’s low energy or motivational wane, I used to treat these feelings with coffee. Now, I grab a Gummies Rx Bliss CBG:CBD gummy or two. 

Within about 15 minutes, my gummy kicks in, and the rest of my day glides right along!

Kush Queen CBD Products I take most afternoons:

• Gummies Rx Bliss CBG:CBD 900mg

Nighttime Calls For Total Relaxation

This CBD Trio Hits Different Before Bed

I’m a bath lover, and even before Kush Queen you could find me in the tub a few nights a week and on Saturday mornings. So, at least two nights a week I soak in a high-dose CBD Bath Bomb. 

My current go-tos are Relieve 200mg CBD Bath Bomb, Sleep 200mg CBD Bath Bomb and the Holiday Edition 200mg CBD Bath Bomb. This full-body topical CBD application gives me full-body relief that eases tension and stress from the day and puts me in a state of relaxation before bed.  

After my bath, I always apply Melt CBD Relief Lotion to my neck, lower back, and feet. If your work is computer-based like mine, Melt’s feature ingredients (cooling menthol, warming capsicum, and camphor oil) get to work almost instantly on my everyday aches and pains like magic.

On nights when I’m struggling to detach from the day or feel the woes from a long workout, I add Gummies Rx Sleep CBN:CBD into my routine. These gummies get to the point and put me in a dreamy state quickly.

If you have trouble relaxing before bed or getting to sleep, give Gummies Rx Sleep a try. These gummies contain CBN, a minor cannabinoid that has been compared to a sedative or sleep inducing effect. 

Kush Queen CBD Products I use at night time:

• High Dose CBD Bath Bombs (Relieve, Sleep, Holiday Edition)
• Melt CBD Relief Lotion, 800mg
• Gummies Rx Sleep CBN:CBD 900mg

Conclusion 

At Kush Queen, we make products that we love.

Every day, I use Kush Queen CBD products to boost my mood, manage stress, and give me full-body relief when I need it.

I encourage you to test different products based on your daily wellness needs, try different delivery methods, and dial in what works for you to create a daily CBD routine that nourishes your body and mind.

Let Kush Queen elevate you daily--I certainly do!

September is national self-care awareness month. Since self-care is major bae at Kush Queen we sat down with CEO, Olivia Alexander to learn how to build a CBD self-care routine that can actually make us feel better.  For those looking to add a delicious option to their routine, our CBD gummies, or weed gummies are a simple and effective way to boost daily wellness.

What’s the tea on building a CBD self-care routine?

Olivia: I meet so many people who have tried CBD but never felt any benefit. Sure there are a lot of variables here like you could be buying inferior CBD products or using a dose that is too low, but; you could also not understand the key components when it comes to creating harmony in the body with cannabinoids. 

When it comes to CBD, most people know this non-psychoactive molecule should not make you feel high, but rather help us feel better. As a long-time CBD user, I have perfected how to approach CBD as a tool for self-care. For those looking for a more euphoric experience, you can also explore our THC gummies for an elevated option.

Building a CBD self-care routine that makes you feel better day-to-day comes down to 3 things: 

1. Consistency, we're talking daily use.
2. Starting simple then building on your foundation. This shouldn't feel like a task.
3. Listening to your body and adjusting over time. We change and so do our needs.

What is the most crucial factor when thinking about adding CBD to your self-care routine? 

Olivia: Consistency, consistency, and consistency! The first and overriding element when it comes to building a CBD self-care routine is regular use. You cannot sporadically use these molecules and expect them to improve wellness. In addition, we cannot expect to start using CBD when we are sick or stressed and think it can be a cure-all. 

You want to build a routine that is simple, approachable, and can be consistently maintained. 

Stick with whatever routine you decide on for a minimum of 30 days before you adjust. Keep it simple and stay focused on consistency. 

What is an easy way to get started with building your CBD self-care routine?

Olivia: Start with one thing! Creating a multi-product regimen out the gate can leave you feeling like self-care is a task rather than a wellness tool. 

IMO, the best place to start is a daily CBD tincture; morning or night works. For total CBD newbies, I like to recommend Kush Queen’s bare 500mg CBD tincture. This CBD tincture is an approachable product to start integrating into your daily life; plus it's easy to control the dose and travels well. 

Now let’s build on this example. 

Once you are consistently using a CBD tincture, start to follow your daily use of Bare, with a single weekly CBD bath. There are so many benefits to bathing regularly when you add cannabinoids you unlock even more wellness potential. 

While bathing, I like meditating or a list of self-check-in questions that connect me to my mental and physical self. This is where the concept of “really feeling better,” kicks in. When we can align our mind and body needs and hear what our inner self is telling us, we can adjust our routine to help us fill those needs.

Let’s say you don’t have a tub or have the time for a bath, no worries! On some nights, I integrate our Soaked CBD shower gel into my nightly routine.

Lather up with the citrus body wash and let it sit on your skin for at least 30 seconds. Once I’ve lathered up, I breathe deeply and let the uplifting scents take me to a sunny place in my mind. 

Remember, getting started is typically the biggest hurdle. Once you start feeling the self-connection and benefits, adding on to your routine is fun!

What’s one of the overlooked elements of creating a CBD self-care routine?

Olivia: It seems like a no-brainer, but checking in with our bodies. If anything, we are taught to ignore what our bodies are communicating. 

So many of us lack the mind-body connection required to truly understand if CBD is working for us and creating homeostasis in the body. First, we must slow down and pause to be present enough to listen. Turn your attention inward, take deep breaths, and sit with your body. 

Try these for self-connection starter questions:

• How have I been feeling these past 30 days?
• Am I getting enough sleep?
• Am I getting the movement I need?
• Have I experienced changes in my stress level? 

Once you understand what your body needs building or adjusting your CBD self-care routine around those needs creates a self-care environment where you feel the benefits. 

How can regular CBD users ensure their self-care routine stays impactful?

Olivia: So you have been consistently using CBD for a minimum of 30 days and checking in with your body. It may be time to consider adjusting your dose, adding a new targeted effect, or make changes to your routine. 

Ask yourself, what am I trying to achieve? What am I missing that I was once getting? What is my body asking for?

Remember, our endocannabinoid systems are incredibly unique, like your fingerprint and DNA. It is normal to experience trial and error with products or have effects that once worked for you stop having the same impact. Your ability to check-in and adjust your routine is a constant when evolving your wellness and self-care tools. 

When using CBD to build a meaningful self-care routine, you must consider what else you are putting into your body. If you're not choosing healthy foods, drinking alcohol, or taking pharmaceutical drugs, manage your expectations for your CBD routine. 

Our bodies are incredibly sensitive and so are our minds. I’ve been active with CBD self-care for over 5 years now and I change my routine every 4 months. Most of my changes depend on the season, my stress levels, and maintaining my mind-body connection.

Conclusion

When it comes to using plants for their target effects, the experience is unlike using pharmaceuticals, which you just take daily and go on with your life. With cannabinoids, you are on an ever-evolving journey, but consistency, checking in and making adjustments are key elements to developing a CBD routine that makes you feel better. 

It's important to remember that using CBD and feeling better may not be this huge event. Our wellness and improvements are often smaller, simple moments we overlook. Feeling less stressed with current events, sleeping better, being able to enjoy the present more are a few indicators that your CBD self-care routine is working.

Ultimately, there is nothing like the power of harnessing your wellness - CBD is the perfect tool to begin that journey. 

Let’s face it - this year will not be your average cold and flu season! CBD products, like our CBD Gummies should always be a part of your daily wellness routine, but during this icky time of year, we are upping our CBD intake and making sure we never miss a dose. 

How does CBD help when you are sick? CBD is a known cannabinoid that feeds our endocannabinoid system (ECS) and works with our central nervous system to regulate our most important body functions: sleep, mood, appetite, and our immune system. 

Nourishing your ECS is a great preventative action to avoid getting sick and can promote faster healing when your body is in the process of fighting off a cold or the flu. 

At Kush Queen, we use the power of three to layer our CBD routine and boost our immune system during cold and flu season. For added wellness, you can also incorporate THC gummies, or weed gummies to elevate your immune-boosting regimen. High-quality Delta 9 gummies are an excellent choice for those looking to enjoy the additional benefits of THC alongside their CBD routine.

A Layered Approached To CBD and Cold and Flu Season

The Power of Tincture

CBD is an immune booster that’s full of natural antibacterial properties that can help fight secondary bacterial infections that can develop from the cold and flu. 

CBD’s properties can also help open up sinus passages and assist with breathing. For an oral delivery method, our Bare CBD tincture line comes in 500mg, 1000mg, 2500mg, or 5000mg doses! If you are battling with a cold or the flu we suggest going with a higher dose choice: 2500mg or 5000mg doses. 

In addition to CBD’s antibacterial properties, our tincture can help take the edge off when you are feeling under the weather. When the full body chills take over, bare is our go-to tool for body relaxation.

The Power of Hot Baths

Baths have so many scientifically proven benefits. When your immune system is under attack, hot baths can help fight viruses by elevating your body temperature and promoting better sleep which is key to keeping your immune system fully functioning. 

You know we love a good soak any time of the year, but a hot bath when you are feeling ill can boost your mood and provide much-needed relief. To kick your bath’s benefits up a notch, add a Kush Queen CBD Bath Bomb to your bath. 

The Perfect CBD Bath Bombs For Cold and Flu Season:

• Immunity CBD Bath Bomb 
• Relieve CBD Bath Bomb, 1000mg
• Sleep CBD Bath Bomb  

We combine essential oils with CBD to create a powerful entourage effect that transforms your bath into a full-body topical soak. While soaking, your skin absorbs all the wellness benefits of the CBD and essential oils which, results in full-body relaxation. 

Getting out of your warm cozy bed will feel like a big task if you are sick, but feeling the full-body topical benefits of CBD and increasing your circulation will make a noticeable difference in your (sick) day. 

The Power of Hand Hygiene

Now more than ever, hand hygiene is top of mind! It’s important to Wet, Lather, Scrub, Rinse & Dry your hands to prevent the spread of germs. Washing your hands regularly while you are sick is equally as critical as using this tool as a preventative measure. 

For an energizing, immune-boosting dose of CBD every time you wash your hands, grab our Soaked CBD Shower Gel. Soaked delivers three things: a moisture-filled lather thanks to the aloe juice base, a solid dose of transdermal CBD with every wash so the molecule gets into your bloodstream, plus a refreshing citrus scent. 

For those times when water isn’t readily available, check out our hand sanitizer just in case! It’s not infused with CBD but does have a gentle formula that won’t dry out your hands. Yay! 

Stock Yourself with CBD Prevention

The best way to avoid cold and flu season is with mindful preventative actions! Stay prepared by adding CBD into your wellness routine with our signature bath bombs, topicals, and ingestible products.
