Stop and Smell the Terpenes with Pearl Extracts

Not all extracts are created equal. Some contain cannabis terpenes, others use plant derived. Some extracts are Clean Green Certified, while others, well… They just aren’t. It’s why with all the extracts on the market, I know I can trust Pearl Extracts.

Pearl Extracts is one of the first processors I worked with upon entering the i502 industry. They ran material for Western Cultured, before transitioning their focus to sungrown cannabis. Fast forward four years, and I feel blessed to call them one of my clients.

Mary Jane Swim’s Summer ’19 Cannabis Swimwear

Diving in to Summer with my Favorite Cannabis Swimwear

It’s no secret I love swimwear. One-pieces, bikinis, solids or prints — if it’s swimwear, I’ll take it. Last fall I shared a new cannabis swimwear line called Mary Jane Swim. I instantly fell in love with their long-sleeve one-piece, so couldn’t wait to share their new 2019 line.

What stands out most this season is Mary Jane Swim now makes more than cannabis swimwear. Co-founders Stacey and Diane have expanded to include their cannabis prints on leggings and workout bags. Don’t ask how (ok, it was 85 degrees and we smoked a few joints) but we forgot to photograph the leggings I hiked here in. Alas, they’ve got the same cute swimwear prints now on leggings.

What better way to kick off the weekend than a wake and bake with BRNT Designs? From the Hexagon ceramic water pipe to the Ascend concrete rolling tray, these products seamlessly fit into my mid-century home decor. It’s just one of many reasons I love their products.

The concept for BRNT Designs sparked in 2017. Founder Simon Grigenas found himself dissatisfied with fragile and stigma-loaded accessories on the Canadian cannabis market. BRNT grew out of a single crowdfunded campaign, and surpassed their original fundraising goal of $20,000 within a month.

Balboa Park’s Old Cactus Garden

If I could have any garden, besides a cannabis garden, I would want a huge cactus garden! Barbary figs, prickly pears and hedgehog cacti are just a few favorites I’d include in mine. It’s why I couldn’t wait to shoot at Balboa Park’s Old Cactus Garden.

Needless to say, the Old Cactus Garden is goals. From a giant ceres jamacaru to blue myrtle cacti, I couldn’t get enough of the desert vibe. It made me wish I could grow prickly plants like this outdoors in the PNW.

Cannabombz cbd bath bombs

Let’s be real, CBD is the latest beauty buzz. Topicals, creams, hair care and even bath bombs have people re-evaluating the healing power of this plant. But don’t be duped by flashy marketing, not all products are created equal. Cannabombz is a company I know and trust for CBD skincare. In my opinion, they make the best CBD bath bombs.

Cannabombz started in 2016. The founder Lindsey, a lifelong dancer, needed foot surgery. She turned to cannabis as an alternative to pharmaceuticals.

I recently had the opportunity to take my Grandma Jenny to her first pot shop. We attended Hashtag Cannabis’ Guided Shopping for Seniors. The event included an hour long discussion to educate attendees about cannabis, followed by a guided shopping experience in-store.

My Grandma Jenny has never smoked weed (as far as I know). However, she’s an avid gardener and expressed curiosity surrounding cannabis. I couldn’t wait to show her one of my favorite shops, in addition to many of the brands I work with.

The Pottery Los Angeles

During my last trip to Los Angeles, I paid a visit to one of the prettiest shops I’ve seen — The Pottery. This posh pot shop looks more like a high-end home goods store. It’s certainly not what people envision when thinking of recreational weed. Alas, I couldn’t wait to see this place for myself.

When I walked in, the first thing I noticed is the chic decor. Geometric wall designs, modern tables and marble displays made cannabis look so relatable. Jonathan Adler stash jars and Malin + Goetz candles are just a couple examples of The Pottery’s luxurious accessories. Unfortunately for my wallet, I could see all of them on my bud cart!

mg Retailer’s Social Media Issue
April 15, 2019
mg Retailer magazine

mg Retailer recently asked me to participate in their Social Media Issue. While I knew this involved an interview and photoshoot, I never anticipated a cover. Social media is a big part of my cannabis career, and 2018 marked some milestones. As a result, I feel especially honored to be highlighted among such top talent.

The shoot took place at photographer James Banasiak’s LA apartment. Several mg Retailer staff attended, as well as accountant turned influencer, Teresa. We smoked a few joints, snapped photos and I struck a pose. Studio photos are some of my favorite, and I love how this set turned out.
