[REVIEW] Stay Happy with Hemp Hydrate Water! 

Times are changing and more and more people are accepting cannabis and it’s many forms into their lives. Why? The taboo ideologies for this subject is slowly becoming a time of the past because of its organic perks and bodily benefits. It’s natural, and that’s why so many brands are jumping on board to use it, as well as doctors  recommending it to patients. 

Unlike the “high” you get from using cannabis, CBD is a non-psychoactive element that is all relaxation without intoxication and is one of the most found chemical compounds in the cannabis plant. Unlike the more famous molecule THC, CBD is completely non-psychoactive. So don’t expect to get “high” off of this organic chemical, that is not what it’s for. It’s a mood changer and relaxer. 

Compare it to sipping camomile tea when you want to go to sleep, or taking vitamin C when you need a burst of energy. CBD water is great for stress and tension while working out, at work, or sitting in traffic, which lets face it, we all can relate. 


Here is where this company caught the golden ticket. We all need water to live why not have it help us more than just to hydrate? The water is flavorless and can’t be tested under a drug test for those of you who were wondering, because it’s not a drug.


HEMP HYDRATE is the one and only 3mg CBD Infused Water that offers medical properties unique to the Hemp Plant, hence its name.

Doritos Heat Wave Wings

Whether you’re at the pool or relaxing inside by the fan this heat wave recipe is too hot to pass up. Doritos are great chips to turn into your crust mix for any “fried” food. In this recipe I used chicken wings, and let me tell you, they are fire! 

Here is this simple 30 min recipe: 

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees. Then, in a mixing bowl, place your rinsed and towel dried wings with a table spoon of EVOO, OR one egg white. 
  2. Grab a few handfuls of chips and release some anger! Crunch them down to flake size or conveniently use the broken chips at the bottom of the bag. See, they do have a purpose after all!
  3. Mix your chips with the chicken and toss them all around to ensure they have an even coating. Then place them in a baking pan/ sheet to bake for 25min. 
  4. Remove them from the oven and flip your wings over with tongs to make sure the underside gets that crunch it needs. Place them back in the oven for 5 more minutes and remove them to cool. 
  5. Bite into your heat wave wings or impress guests with your creativity. Tell Doritos I sent you.

“Follow your passion with no regrets!” Featuring Artist, Cody Huff.

A meaningless life is a wasted one. People are subject to money and fame, but what about purpose? I rather die knowing I left a lasting impression on a life, than to be known for nothing or a tabloid headline. I knew I was thinking right when an old schoolmate from San Diego, Lewis middle school to be exact, contacted me. From there, the girl power grew, and a common understanding amongst two different worlds collided on one account: following our passions with no regrets.  

Cody Huff is an artist. She inspires me because she doesn’t double think, she just goes! Something we all fall short on. Taking a leap of faith can be scary, but usually in faith, is so rewarding! Here is what the art muse herself had to say in a dialogue with me:

I knew to make 2017 exciting and meaningful I wanted to collaborate with people who were following their passion. I’ve been checking out your boldness on social media and decided to reach out. Also, I wanted to test out a new subject matter, so it was an easy decision to reach out. I’ve been vibe-ing on the phrase ‘no question, no problem’. Which to me means, when you want to do something, don’t over think it and/or talk yourself out of it. Go for it immediately and be comfortable with whatever the outcome is. Don’t let your perfectionist side rule your life by fear of failure. Also, it seems when you go for it with enthusiasm the Universe has your back. -Cody Huff

This is the beautiful artwork she created using the essentials of 2017 and the trendy veggies and tasty eats of today. Check them out below.

We all could use this courage from time to time, so sharing this with my street team is something I’m committed to do. I hope this reaches you and pushes you to go after what you love, and never hesitate to follow your passion. Follow Cody for more amazing artwork and inspiring adventures in life: @codychuff.
