Hi friends! Okay, so if you have been following me for a while you have heard me talk about stress and time management, etc. etc. the same everyday problems that I am sure we ALL deal with to some extent. I keep a pretty good schedule with the gym, and eating (mostly) healthy foods, (hello movie night Reese’s and Popcorn…) but I still have quite a few of those days where I would feel anxiety kick in, and I would occasionally have those nights where you lay in bed thinking about every possible thing for 4 hours, cannot sleep, and then boom your alarm goes off. We’ve all been there. I wanted to find something that would help me manage my stressful schedule and help me sleep better without buying all sorts of medicines, sleep aids, etc.
I finally found Equilibria CBD. A CBD company for women, by women. And also some of the coolest people I have met in my time blogging so far. CBD is short for cannabidiol. It is a naturally-occurring compound (also known as “cannabinoid”) found in the Cannabis Sativa plant. Cannabinoids are compounds that interact with receptors in our natural Endocannabinoid System, which plays a huge part in managing mood, regulating sleep, helping with inflammation, and overall homeostasis. You can check out more information about what CBD actually is here. Without going too deep into the science behind it all, I wanted to talk about my personal experience with CBD so far:
The first thing I noticed after trying out Equlibria’s CBD was better sleep. I started out with a Daily Softgel about an hour before going to sleep. The feeling I got from it was a calming, not overwhelming, slowed down pace of everything. It helped me wind down for the night and after a few nights of taking a soft gel 1 hour before bed, I noticed I was able to sleep completely through the night for about 7.5 hours, then wake up without that normal brain fog where you are a zombie until your venti Starbs. I loved that.
The second thing I noticed after about a week and a half of using Equilbria’s CBD Daily Drops, was that I felt much calmer during the day doing my work. If you guys are somewhat into yoga or reading, you have probably heard of “flow”, where you are so into the task at hand that you forget about everything else. I felt like I could reach this level of focus a little easier without rambling thoughts, this helped me work much smarter, not harder. I loved that.
And finally, the third thing that I personally have experienced so far with using Equilibria’s CBD, is when I use the products for muscle soreness or aches. I have mentioned my back pain many times on Insta, and if you did not know, I have had surgery on my lower back to fix a disc issue (thanks cheerleading). But that has not stopped me from going to my barre class at least 3 times a week for the last 2 years. After working out, I would use a bit of the Relief Cream on sore spots on my back and shoulders. It would work pretty quickly and it helped me to recover much faster, which allowed me to be fully ready for my next barre class much sooner.
I had heard of CBD before, but never fully dove in. After finding Equilibria, I was surprised at how well it worked for me. This is my personal experience with equilibria CBD so far. And every single person will have their own experience. Knowing that, Equilibria has what they call a Dosage Specialist. Every purchase of CBD product from Equilibria comes with a complimentary consultation where a professional will help you find a routine that works best for you and answer any questions. This person is your Dosage Specialist. They can work one-on-one with you to help you find your own best routine. And finding your personal routine is essential, because I have noticed the best results when I follow a set schedule. Consistency is key.
I started with a Brilliance Box because I wanted to try all the products, and now I get one every month. This came with all three products, but there is also the Balance Box that comes with the Daily Drops and the Daily Softgels, this is also a great place to start! If you are still unsure about where to start, I’m happy to answer any questions and/or put you in contact with someone from Equilibria to answer any questions before purchasing. And of course, once you purchase you get that free consultation with a dosage specialist to go over your specific needs/wants along with a starting point for your daily routine. For CBD to work most effectively, you need to take it everyday, like a vitamin, so a subscription can give you the best bang for your buck as it’s 20% off the normal price. It might take you some time to find your optimal routine, so allowing 2-3 months is ideal.
I have loved my experience so far with Equilibria, which is why I have worked with them to get you guys a discount on your own product should you want to try it out. By using code MAKENNACHRISTINEXO at checkout, you guys will get 15% off your first order of products to try for yourself at a perfect time before the stressful holidays; it also makes a great gift. I hope you have a great experience like I did, and if you have any questions about CBD or Equilibria, you can reach out to me or Equilibria directly. Be back soon, XO.
