    Why is CBD lip balm the bomb? Here are good reasons why you need some in your life

    Did you know that lips do not sweat? That’s because lips do not possess sweat glands. Sweat glands help moisturize the skin. Without them, lips dry out faster than any other part of the body. Time to balm up the right way with nourishing vitamins and minerals that protect against free radicals and dryness.

    Why is CBD lip balm the bomb? Here are 3 good reasons why you need some in your life.

    1. It nourishes on the cellular level
    2. Protects your skin from environmental pollutants and free radicals
    3. It’s extremely nourishing and has beneficial properties to soothe chapped, dry, flaky lips.

    Earthy hemp oil with a touch of either lavender, orange, peppermint or rosemary extract provides the ultimate moisturizing lip balm qualities without the added flavor. CBDMe offers 30 mg of broad spectrum, sustainably grown CBD, paired with certified organic hemp oil, Fair Trade Certified™ cocoa butter and coconut oil for an all-around lip experience.

    Benefits of CBD ME:

    • Hemp-derived CBD – the hemp-derived, broad-spectrum CBD extract is sustainably grown through regenerative agriculture practices and CO2 extracted in Oregon by Klersun.

    • Organic Hemp Seed Oil – The finest, cold-pressed Cannabis Sativa seed oil delivers a natural balance of essential fatty acids

    • Ultra soothing

    • Keeps moisture in

    • Nutrient-rich to protect lips

    Acne touches people of all ages, gender and race creating insecurity issues and the need to find solutions to clear the skin. Oftentimes however, it is ignored that what you put inside your body can play a major role in how your outer skin reacts and how you feel.

    Consider the following:

    • Natural and Organic Herbal Treatments: Natural antioxidants, anti-inflammatories, Alpha Hydroxy Acids, catechins, among other natural compounds aid in clearing skin. Ingesting allows your body to better absorb good nutrients more effectively while also hydrating your body and helping achieve better skin results

    BeauTeas was built on the principle that organic plants and herbs hold powerful properties to help heal acne and naturally help your body build natural beauty from the inside out. Can tea help fight acne? Yes.

    • Clearly Calendula Morning (Black) tea: Organic black tea, organic lavender, organic spearmint, organic flavoring, organic peppermint and organic calendula petals. The black tea is a blend of Organic Assam Black Tea and Organic Qu Hao Black Tea.  This blend is very similar to an Earl Grey, but with added herbs and flowers
    • Clearly Calendula Afternoon (Green) tea: Organic green tea, organic lemon verbena, organic spearmint, organic peppermint and organic calendula petals. The green tea is a blend of Organic Dragonwell Green Tea and Organic Sencha Green Tea
    • Clearly Calendula  Evening (Herbal) tea: Organic chamomile, organic rooibos, organic spearmint, organic peppermint and organic calendula petals.

    A daily regimen that involves moisturizers, serums, and sunscreen is essential, but regularly drinking teas will give your body the healthy, long term improvements that you’ll appreciate every time you look in the mirror.

    Handstand Kitchen® Unveils New Hot Cocoa Bomb Collection

    New from Handstand Kitchen®, the Ultimate Hot Cocoa Bomb Set (BKS-HCBULT, MSRP $29.99) arrives just in time for holiday gift giving, capturing the cocoa bomb sensation that got its start on TikTok and became one of the hottest trends for 2020 and 2021.

    Part of Handstand Kitchen’s new Hot Cocoa Bomb Collection, the deluxe 18-piece set is one of four unique cocoa bomb sets available to ship October 1 and features an exclusive embossed silicone mold, tools and recipes that help users design endless hot cocoa bomb creations that are easy to make, fun to enjoy and giftable.

    The special silicone mold is reusable and features heart, sprinkles and drizzle patterns, designed to make four expertly shaped cocoa bombs that are ready to decorate. Each set in the collection features a QR Code on the box that links to exclusive recipes, how-to videos and cocoa bomb inspiration.

    “After 15 years of being in this business, I have never seen such excitement around a collection before. From national retailers to mom and pop stores, this collection has been well received across the board, and our presales are skyrocketing,” said Yvette Garfield, owner and founder of Handstand Kitchen. “The combination of cocoa bombs being both a super-hot trend and a social media phenomenon will make this our strongest collection to date, and I believe these sets will continue to do extremely well into 2022, for Valentine’s Day and beyond.”

    The Ultimate Hot Cocoa Bomb Set includes a silicone spatula, chocolate scraper, chocolate brush, silicone melting pot with lid and recipes, making it easy to handcraft uniquely flavored hot cocoa bombs in endless flavor combinations. The set has printed bags and stickers for gifting and original recipes like Classic Hot Cocoa Bombs, Dark Chocolate Peppermint Hot Cocoa Bombs and Pumpkin Spice Hot Cocoa Bombs.

    The collection features four curated sets, one for every cocoa connoisseur. From the Ultimate Hot Cocoa Bomb Set to the I ♥️ COCOA BOMBS Intro Set, a great fit for kids, to the giftable Cocoa Bomb Mini Set to the basic I ♥️ COCOA BOMBS Silicone Mold (8 cavity), which offers just the silicone mold, all sets include the QR Code link for recipes and inspiration.

    Designed for ages six and up, the Ultimate Hot Cocoa Bomb Set and the entire Hot Cocoa Bomb Collection feature the same premium quality BPA free cookware and utensils that have long been the standard of Handstand Kitchen’s line of bakeware.

    The silicone cocoa bomb mold and silicone melting pot with lid are oven, freezer, microwave, and top rack dishwasher safe, and temperature safe from -40°F to 428°F (-40°C to 220°C). The silicone utensils are top rack dishwasher safe. All other utensils should be hand washed.

    The cocoa bomb craze, which started on TikTok, involves spreading melted chocolate into round half sphere molds to create chocolate shells, and then filling half of the shells with hot cocoa mix (and any desired add-ins, such as mini marshmallows and chocolate chips) and topping the filled shell with the remaining chocolate shell to make a round cocoa bomb. Once the halves are sealed into one round cocoa bomb, it can be drizzled, sprinkled and decorated. To experience the cocoa bomb effect, place a cocoa bomb in a large mug, pour steaming hot milk over the top and watch it burst open to reveal the hidden treats inside.

    Handstand Kitchen® is a woman owned and run business that has been inspiring young creators since 2007. While the products have evolved from a single cookbook into complete cooking sets for kids and adults and innovative crafting kits, too, the company mission remains the same: to bring joy through creating together. Find hot cocoa bombs and the entire Handstand Kitchen collection at https://handstandkitchen.com
