Update: I have been mixing this into my morning protein shake. If it’s warmer out, I don’t want something hot.
Then I did an experiment on myself…as I occasionally do, I “test” my body, so I can note how things may or may not change after trying a new product. I did that test with this product.
I quit taking it for approximately two weeks, to see how I felt. (If you follow me you know that I have autoimmune disease, and mental health diagnoses.).
What I noticed after about 4 days without this product:
Increased body pain, specifically in my joints.
Increased anxiety
Bowel “differences”… I’ll just leave it at that.. I think you get the drift…(lets just say it was worse, and not consistent.)
Increased mental fog
Increased depression
These are just my experiences. But it’s convinced me that natural plants and products DO help me.
Pain is a life killer for me. So if I can get relief the natural way, and not have to turn to my pharma, you can bet your booty I will.

I ordered the Medicinal Mushroom Hot Chocolate mix from my favorite store, The Humble Collective CBD. Mixed it up and tried it for the first time this morning. All I can say is yummy! I did add raw sugar and my collagen supplement, which is flavorless. (It can be added to anything, soup, drinks, prepared food.. whatever you want.).
UPDATE: Medicinal Mushroom Hot Chocolate, here’s what I’ve learned.
Here’s the kicker, the medicinal mushrooms in the mix. They are as follows:
Humble Collective sources their Hot Chocolate from Roots to Remedies. This mix contains 10 mg of CBD isolate as well, there is no THC in this hot chocolate.
Here’s a quick video of what I used… Unsweetened organic almond milk, raw turbinado cane sugar, collagen supplement, and mushroom cocoa mix.
St Patty’s day is coming up…though we all might think we are Irish and embark on a pub crawl… but some of us still want to eat. 😂.
Then there’s EASTER…I remember getting together and visiting with people and eating a bunch of food during that time. I wish I had known about this company back then… I could have escaped the kitchen duty. 😁.
What happened to that? Life is such an experience. I’ve found that since I’m getting older, everything about me has changed. Most of that is because I’m growing and learning, but most is just the evolution of life. Always changing. Ebbing and flowing… Anyway, this post isn’t about going through all of my “stuff”, it’s to share this great company, and place my own order. Chocolate covered strawberries sounds AMAZING.

St Patty’s day is coming up…want some munchies? Eat your decorations..YUMMY & Delicious
You can get an edible arrangement for any occasion. They offer fruit bouquets, chocolate covered strawberries and gift delivery. Birthdays, Anniversaries, Weddings….whatever you need, they can create an arrangement for anything. The products are highly rated and REALLY good.
This is one of those days where I have no idea why I’m having anxiety attacks, feeling the dark cloud of depression, and crying at random times for no reason.
I could chalk it up to the diagnoses that I have, I guess. I’m using my toolbox of coping skills, but nothing seems to be working at the moment.
I mean, my brain is damaged, and if I look at it from a logical standpoint, I understand and it makes sense. But from an emotional standpoint, it’s all consuming, frustrating and never ending. It seems that way anyway.
I’m doing the things… cooking Zoey’s food, did the dishes, laundry, mixed up some special food for the old cat that I’m caring for… he’s such a good boy. I’ve spent time with Sadie, my horse, and all the barn cats are always loving and wiling to do their best to cheer me up.
I’ve asked myself over and over “why?”. Why do I have to cycle like this. I don’t feel sorry for myself, because for me that’s just dumb, but being up one minute and then crashing down a few hours later isn’t something that I enjoy.
I just want to “be”.
Be me without the highs and lows, without having a slobbering crying fit for no apparent reason. Without having to get it all out with blog posts, because that’s the only way I can get it out.
I could call crisis, but then I feel like a burden. I could call my therapist… but to tell her what? “Hey, guess what? I’m fucked right now, and can’t get off the spinning wheel… again.”
She would tel me to go to my safe place✅, do 4-7-8 breathing✅, snap a rubber band or hair tie on my wrist✅, go outside and spend time in nature ✅ exercise✅punch a pillow after screaming in it✅… I’ve done these things. Today they aren’t working.
My safe place that I envision when I need to. The beach and ocean sounds.

I’ve been on medication. Lots of it. But in the past 10 years or so, the meds I’ve been prescribed have either given me an adverse or allergic reaction, ending me up in an er visit, or worked for a short time and then quickly became ineffective.
I take gaba (amino acid), every day twice a day, I take methylated folate because of the MTHFR polymorphism, I take regular vitamins and omegas. All of my supplements, I know, help and if I didn’t take them (which has happened in the past due to running out because insurance doesn’t cover supplements) things are absolutely 100x worse.
So I guess I could look at it from that perspective… I could be worse.
At the moment though, that doesn’t help. So I struggle, and feel all of the feelings of worthlessness, hopelessness, and impending doom. (I know there’s no impending doom, but that’s how I feel).
I share all of this for the world to see because I know there are others out there that struggle. Know that you are not alone.
I may end up calling crisis, or taking a prn med to quiet my mind and calm my body.
Thanks for listening.

Sound and vibration therapy uses aspects of music to improve physical and emotional health and well-being. The person being treated must be with an experienced experienced trained practitioner. Music therapy may involve:
listening to music
singing along to music
moving to the beat of the music
meditating with vibration/and or sound waves—(this is my preferred method)
playing an instrument
Healing with sound is believed to date back to ancient times, when music was used in an attempt to cure mental disorders. Throughout history, music has been used to boost morale in military troops, and help people work more productively, along with many different spiritual uses. (cited from this article)
I personally like to put on headphones and just zone out with binaural beats, and let the sounds seep into my brain. It sends me into a trance like state. Pretty cool and bizarre if you have never meditated before.
I suggest you try it… people have been healing the body WITHOUT pharma for thousands of years.
Study with over 50k suggests that the more Covid boosters a person received, the more likely they were to get the virus.
A friend led me onto this….I’ve been reading a lot of “stuff”. But this one particular study published at the Cleveland Clinic, suggests that a large number of people that received continuous Covid vaccinations, ended up getting the virus more often than those who hadn’t received the continuous round of boosters. (Read the article here) Via Sandusky
A lot of people feel a certain way about vaccinations, and believe they should take whatever is recommended, and some people, like me, aren’t against vaccinations, just against no long term studies prior to them being released.
Medicine is fluid. That’s why they call it “practice”, because a person spends time within the industry, they are basically practicing medicine…they don’t come out of school knowing everything. It’s life experience that adds to knowledge. I wish more people would understand that. It’s not a one and done thing… “medicine”, or “being a doctor, or nurse”.
Make up your own mind about it. There’s A LOT of disturbing news about covid, and the covid vaccinations. There’s a lot of good news about it…there’s a lot of news that is being withheld from the general public, because, well that’s the way a lot of our news outlets work.

I like to get out and away from civilization. I feel so much better mentally when I can spend time in nature. But being on a fixed income, I just can’t go out and buy a $50,000 (that’s on the less expensive side) camper.
So I decided to do some research and make my suv into a mini camper. I’m going to be building it out slow, but the first thing I wanted to do was get my power situation taken care of. I don’t want to use any of my vehicles power, to run anything other than the vehicle. It’s an old Jeep, and has a lot of miles, so I need her power system to be dedicated to just her. Her name is Daenerys btw. 😁
I could get a solar panel, controller, inverter, and battery. I was going to do that initially, but with limited space (I have a Grand Cherokee), I opted to go with just a solar panel and a solar generator. Small, nothing huge, just enough to make it possible for me to stay warm, charge my electronics, and heat food.
These are what I chose: Generator is a Ctechi portable 300w LiFePO4 299w. It has enough power to do what I need. (I also have some other small solar power stations, but this will be the main one.) Right now it has a $55 off coupon on Amazon. I’ve looked A LOT of solar generators, and it’s the same as anything…they make good ones, that you can get for less money, that don’t have a name brand. If it fails, I’ll learn, but that’s the point of all of this. This has great reviews, and I depend a lot on that. I don’t need any fancy bells or whistles, I just need it to work. I like the LiFePO4 as it has a longer lifespan. We’ll see! I’ll be posting updates as time moves forward. My first camping “trip” will be close to home, where I keep my horse, and it’s almost February, so I’ll for sure be testing how warm I stay. I’ll cover the windows with homemade thing-a-ma-jigs, but I’ll post those later as well.
The solar panel I chose was a basic polycrystalline 12v panel by Newpowa. The generator already has an inverter built in. My main concern was space, and I don’t have much of it. I’m not going to be running a water pump, or any lights, as I have that taken care of, so I really just need these to be able to power a small heater (150w), which won’t be run a lot, or for long periods of time, a food heater, (I’ll link the one I’m using as well) and electronics. This should be enough.
I’ll need a longer cord from the panel to the generator as well.
The food prep that I’ll use is this…I’ve seen videos of other van lifers/campers/truckers using this and it has a ton of good reviews.
The rest of my build will be a composting toilet, (really easy to build and won’t stink if done the right way), small sink/ cooking area, with a grey water tank and filtered water tank, supplied by a foot pump. On the other side will be another small cabinet for food storage, clothes, whatever I need it for.
I am going to move my spare tire from the floor storage area, and put it on the top of the Jeep. I’ll use that area for more storage of tools, food, misc…whatever.
This is totally new to me, I’ve never built anything out by myself so it will be a learning experience. I will share everything as I go, with all the mistakes I’m sure I’ll make, and all the things that work.
This is another product from Humble Collective CBD that I use. Blossom and Fruit harvested right from the owners wild, untouched land. It’s another amazing product.
Here are the ingredients: : Dandelion*, violet petals*, organic rose petals, organic plum kernel oil, organic grapeseed oil, organic red raspberry oil, hibiscus oil, ylang ylang essential oil, blueberry seed oil and full spectrum hemp extract. (*wildcrafted) (Citied directly from here.)
“Dandelion: Rich in antioxidants, dandelions have anti-aging benefits for the skin. Dandelion extract can help to nourish the skin by reducing fine lines and wrinkles, and toning unbalanced skin. The plant contains detoxifying properties that rid the skin of toxins that clog pores and cause acne, as well as vitamin C to speed up the body’s natural healing process and reduce the appearance of scars and skin inflammation.
Plum Kernel Oil: Full of nourishing omega fatty acids (13 different kinds to be exact) and vitamins A and E, which heal and hydrate dry skin, hair and nails better than any other oil out there. Plum oil also has anti-inflammatory properties that help to reduce the appearance of—ready for it?—puffiness, irritation, dark spots, under-eye circles, wrinkles and dry skin. It’s also good for soothing skin conditions like eczema and psoriasis.
Grapeseed Oil: Unlike other oils that may only suit certain skin types or clog pores, grapeseed oil is a lightweight oil that’s noncomedogenic, making it suitable for most skin types—including sensitive and acne-prone. anti-inflammatory and anti-microbial, making it an ideal sidekick in your fight against breakouts, prevents free radical damage, reduce inflammation, and minimizes fine lines and wrinkles.
Red Raspberry Oil: Red raspberry seed oil is cold-pressed from red raspberry seeds and packed with essential fatty acids and vitamins. Among its many benefits, it’s believed to offer protection from the sun.
Hibiscus Oil: Hibiscus oil supports your body’s natural collagen production, may help slow down collagen degradation, prevent elastin breakdown, and can help ease inflammation from the inside out.
Ylang Ylang Essential Oil: Promotes skin healing, helps relieve dry skin, enhances circulation and helps new skin form.
Blueberry Seed Oil: Blueberry Seed Oil is made from cold-pressed blueberries, it is high in the essential fatty acids Omegas 3 and 6 and alpha linolenic acid. These work with the skin’s natural barrier, helping it to function well, and improving overall tone and firmness. Omega oils reduce redness, condition and protect, and help the skin to repair itself. Blueberry Seed Oil also contains Vitamin E which helps to minimise fine lines and tackles loss of elasticity and hyper-pigmentation.
Full Spectrum Hemp Extract: CBD naturally elevates levels of anandamide. Higher levels of anandamide supports your body’s own natural process to reduce inflammation. Inflammation can cause redness, irritation, rashes and even breakouts. Full-spectrum CBD gives you smoother, calmer and more radiant skin”
So if this sounds like some all natural, good for your skin and extremely affordable amazing skin food, check it out if you want.
My goodies came today from my favorite store, Humble Collective CBD. (Click underlined to go to their site.)
This is one of two products I’ll be talking about over the next two days.
I’m attempting to NOT go into aging gracefully, but with the least amount of wrinkles and skin damage as possible. I was a sun queen when I was younger, and I do get a lot of sun during the summer at the ranch doing yard work, and stuff like that. But I can’t be without my Humble skincare. Yes, I’ve tried other products, on purpose, to see how my skin reacts, and it just feels better when I use all natural, additive free products. Maybe it just me, but I don’t think so. These products are good.
So let’s get into it. The Let It Glow serum is filled with everything your skin wants and needs for nourishment, and cell regeneration.
Ingredients are: organic grapeseed oil, organic camellia seed oil, organic sunflower and olive oil infused with (all organic herbs) of: comfrey, nettle, chickweed, chamomile, lavender, yarrow, calendula and arnica, organic argan oil, roman chamomile and frankincense essential oils, CBD isolate, CBG isolate.
That’s it! Not words you can’t pronounce, not water, and all GOODNESS for your face.
