Is it the sun? The cannabis? Nope, it's BRNT's new accessories collection and it drops today!
BRNT is a Canadian based cannabis accessories line. You've probably seen their Hexagon bong featured on my page a time or two. It's ceramic, chic and I love it. I felt beyond excited when BRNT's team reached out about promoting additional accessories hitting the market today. COUNT. ME. IN.
A couple weeks ago I attended the Emerald Exchange Summer Solstice event — Le Jardin Secret. I went to the last Emerald Exchange and described it as “one of the most beautiful events of my life.” So naturally upon being invited back, I jumped at the chance. I couldn't wait to see what the team planned next.
This stunning space, known as Hummingbird Temple, is nestled high in the Hollywood Hills of Laurel Canyon. It featured the finest sun grown brands from the Emerald Triangle including Stone Road Farms, Terravida, Sticky Fields Kiskanu. But the event wasn't all flower. Accessories brands like Purr Glass, Haute Smokes and Ryot also made appearances.
It’s Fashion Friday but it certainly looks like a Flashback Friday with Eve Farms and Fauxy Furr Vintage. I rolled up some delicious Sour Patch flower in RAW cones during our last trip to SoCal, for a very groovy high.
During our trip to Palm Springs, Cameron and I decided to stay an extra night in Joshua Tree. I found this gem on AirBNB and knew we needed to stay here. The listing proudly states the house has been untouched since 1971 (as if the wallpaper didn’t give it away). Sometimes I get a photo vision and I’m lucky to have a guy who goes with it. So that’s just what we did.
Choom brought the spirit of Hawaii to Toronto, to kick off their official launch at the 2018 Lift Expo. Lift draws attendees from around the world, so the team couldn’t wait to debut their brand. From the Hawaiian inspired booth to sneak peeks of apparel, everyone wanted to join the Choom gang.
Lift Expo, also known as Lift & Co., is Canada’s signature event for cannabis consumers, professionals and investors. The expo featured hundreds of exhibitors, more than 60 speakers and over a thousand attendees. Speakers covered topics including product diversification, Canada’s legal landscape and even medical cannabis treatments in veterinary medicine. Everyone from cannabis connoisseurs to the canna curious came out to ride the green wave, and Choom brought the board.
Jump for joy because Green Revolution’s new Joysticks have hit i502 markets. To celebrate the launch, Ray and I spent a sunny Saturday exploring Seattle. From flying high with their sativa or seeking relief with CBD and yoga, these pre-rolls make it easy to puff our preference.
We started the day a very Seattle way, with a sativa, pitstop at Ghost Alley Espresso and pictures around the infamous gum wall. Next, we smoked a little hybrid in a rooftop garden. After we relaxed with yoga and CBD in the Sculpture Park. Our day wrapped with an indica around the Space Needle. We smoked joint after joint. Each one burned evenly with clean, white ash.
What a wonderful weekend lighting up with Wikileaf and Heylo Cannabis! Heylo and Wikileaf host an event called Heylo Sessions merging two of our favorite things — marijuana and music. This session took place at an especially stunning venue, The Winston House.
The Winston House is a cannabis-friendly bed and breakfast located in the heart Seattle. This space is speckled with crystals and house plants and it oozes positive energy. Or is that the epic afternoon light? Either way, there are dozens of nooks and crannies to take photos, light up and kick back. And that’s exactly what we did.
From the forest to the city, I take Tarukino’s cannabis beverages everywhere. Whether we’re adventuring in the mountains with Happy Apple, or shooting photos around Capitol Hill with Utopia, I love the natural flavors and relaxing high of these drinks.
Our adventure started in the mountains at Rattlesnake Lake. This is one of my favorite places to enjoy the effects of cannabis. Hiking to the ledge or shooting photos lakeside, Happy Apple is the ideal addition. If you like sparkling cider (this girl can drink a bottle of Martinelli’s in one sitting) you will love these beverages available in 10mg, 30mg and 100mg. Happy Apple tastes like real cider — because it is. You’ll only find Washington grown apples in these bottles!
#TBT to getting mile high, making memories and jamming out to my favorite musicians at 420 On the Block. This epic event is Denver’s only three-day 4/20 music fest, so you know it’s lit. I couldn’t wait to hang with Ladies of Paradise and connect with the Colorado cannabis community.
My weed filled weekend started on April 19th with a flight to Denver. I checked into the Moxy Cherry Creek, which is a cute boutique hotel in a fun part of town. Ladies of Paradise arrived shortly after. We celebrated with drinks and a smoke sesh. Ok, I also took a nap… Then we kicked off our arrival at Sensi Magazine’s party. I even recognized a few familiar i502 faces — @DominiqueDabs and @RespectMyRegion!
I'm dedicating this Weed Crush Wednesday to the talented henna artist and cannabis advocate, Natasha Singh. I recently spoke with Natasha about her art, how cannabis influences it and what it's like breaking down barriers for Indian women in the cannabis community.
How long have you been doing henna? What got you into it? Tell me about your backstory.
It was like 2008, 2009'ish. I was working at BECU at a call center and I picked it up as a hobby. I became so obsessed with it I decided to quit my job and go to beauty school. It's been a fun journey, I've been self-taught. I went from drawing on my hands, to drawing on paper to drawing on family members.
Is it Fashion Friday or Flashback Friday? It’s hard to tell when I’m dressed like a flower child. This vintage dress from Fauxy Furr Vintage is perfect for flower fields or festival season.
I spotted this flower field en route to Chrysta and Jill’s house for a Fauxy Furr sleepover. I think it’s another one of my marijuana manifestations, because I’ve been dreaming of a shoot like this. When I told the ladies my vision, Chrysta pulled this blue beauty out. Boom, photo vision accomplished!
