Stop and Smoke the Flowers in Daisy Natives
January 11, 2019
Daisy Natives

Girls support girls, but me? I support everyone. I don’t care if you’re male, female, trans, non-binary, gay, straight, black, white, Christian, Muslim, Jewish, conservative, liberal, libertarian or AnCap. Society has us so categorized these days and it’s dividing us. I live life by the motto “don’t hurt people and don’t take their stuff.” If you live by that motto, I don’t care what you are — I’ll support you too.

The end of 2018 took an interesting turn. I witnessed women I once considered allies justify online harassment because they didn’t agree with my political beliefs. This positive, inclusive and open-minded community suddenly became a place only for a certain mindset. As a result, I purged a lot of women from my circle. I took a long, hard look at where I directed my energy and made sure to surround myself with women who support women.

Going Rogue with Grown Rogue
January 10, 2019
grown rogue oregon

The new year means new experiences. Lucky for me, Grown Rogue has strains for all of them. I recently toured this fabulous indoor facility and their outdoor farm, for a first-hand look at how Oregon is going rogue with Grown Rogue.

Grown Rogue is a self-described “seed-to-experience” company focused on the environment, community and education. All their products are Clean Green Certified, and the team only uses sustainable, organic-based practices. Genetics are also Phylos Certified (something I didn’t know about until recently), which provides a genetic library to thousands of cultivators.

My First Cannabis Greenhouse at BA Botanicals
December 10, 2018
cannabis greenhouse

This Croptober, I photographed my first cannabis greenhouse. Now don’t get me wrong, I’ve been in greenhouses, but nothing that compares to the scale of BA Botanicals. At over 500 feet long, it really is like a football field of weed.

BA Botanicals is committed to producing the cleanest sun grown flower possible. While this is a huge facility, they aren’t focused on yields. “We’re focused on flower for the best resin and best flavor,” owner Sebastian Stalman said. “Yield is secondary, we want connoisseur level.”

Colored Cannabis Collective’s Capitol Hill Cleanup

Colored Cannabis Collective’s Capitol Hill Cleanup

On Saturday the Colored Cannabis Collective brought the community together to participate in a Capitol Hill trash cleanup. People of color and their allies met on Cherry Street to pick up trash, give back, connect with old friends, meet new ones and of course, share a joint or few.

We spent the first portion of the cleanup tackling a trash-filled field. Uncle Ike’s donated buckets and gloves. Within the first 30 minutes, we’d already filled an entire trash bin, not to mention countless buckets.

Smoking My Seaweed in SeaQueen Swim
September 28, 2018
seaqueen swim

Dedicating this Fashion Friday to where I’d rather be — Cabo San Lucas with SeaQueen! I love summer and live for swimwear, so when I saw Discount Universe announce a sequin swim collection I jumped on that email list quicker than you can take a dab. Needless to say, this suit is even more stunning IRL, which is why I couldn’t wait to puff in it poolside.

We started our morning as the sun crept up over the mountain. My mom and I knew guests didn't hit the pool until 9 or later, so it gave me plenty of time to hit my Pearl Extracts pen with Lazy Bee Gardens oil. The blue tile paired perfectly with the blue sequins on this suit. I wanted to add something a little extra (because I am) so threw on my Vida Kush jewelry for even more bling. As for my sunnies? They're from Amazon. Three pair for $30!

Cannabis Blackout Day 2018
September 26, 2018
cannabis blackout day

On Instagram’s release date October 6, 2010, only five states allowed medical cannabis consumption. As we approach Instagram’s eighth birthday, laws have changed and legalization has gone global. The only place legalization is not happening is on Instagram. As a way to make our community heard, I ask everyone to participate in #CannabisBlackoutDay on October 6.

If you’re a cannabis company, publisher, photographer or advocate on Instagram, you are all-too-familiar with their vague Terms of Service. Posts get deleted for violating the rules. Pages are deactivated without notice. Sometimes they’re reinstated claiming the deactivation “happened by mistake” while other times pages don’t come back at all. It’s infuriating and needs to change. So how can you help?

Stocking Up at Blum Las Vegas
September 18, 2018

I recently visited Las Vegas for a girlfriend’s 30th birthday. This trip not only marked an important milestone for my friend, but also for myself. It’s the first time I’ve been to Vegas since Nevada went rec, which is why I couldn’t wait to check out Blum Las Vegas!

When I mentioned my trip on social, I asked for retail referrals. With a sea of shops near the strip, I didn’t know what to choose. Luckily, multiple friends and followers suggested Blum Las Vegas. So when Blum reached out about a visit, I couldn’t say no.

Mellow Your Muscles with Green Revolution Topicals
September 17, 2018
green revolution topicals

Whether I’m doing Crossfit, yoga or Bikini Body Guide, my muscles need some recovery. It’s just one reason I love the new line of Green Revolution topicals. They come in high CBD and THC, so you can pick your pain management. Solace and Muscle Melt are essentials in my gym bag, and here’s why recommend them for yours too.

I have a herniated disk in my back and sit at a computer all day. Needless to say, I carry tons of tension in my body. My neck, shoulders and upper back hurt a lot. Yoga helps me relax, but after my shavasana I love Solace. With 300mg of CBD and 3mg of THC, it’s exactly what my muscles need. But don’t just take my word for it. Solace works so well, my grandma, aunt and uncle all used it before I did.

Winthrop’s Western Fashion Friday
September 7, 2018
western fashion friday

Western fashion is big this season, and I mean big. Chanel, Coach and Vetements are just a few brands hopping on the wild west bandwagon. So when I made my latest trip to Lazy Bee Gardens, knew what I wanted to shoot for Fashion Friday.

Now let me preface. If you haven’t been to Winthrop, this town feels like a time hop. It’s in the middle of nowhere (cell reception and wifi are practically nonexistent) and the entire downtown looks like a movie set. With the return of western fashion, I couldn’t wait to throw on a wide brimmed hat, thigh high boots and of course, enough silver to sink a ship.

Home Grow Goals

Home Grow Goals

I grew up in a family of gardeners. Both my grandmas are in garden club and my mom’s garden would give most a run for their money. However, after visiting this home grow, I’ve found my new garden goals — cannabis.

I can’t go into much detail about this grow or its location, but will emphasize it’s for medical use. The story surrounding these plants is heartfelt and I hope to someday share. These plants remind me that while cannabis is recreational, it’s also medicine for millions. It’s medicine some people would risk their freedom for.
