I recently assembled the ultimate girl gang for a shoot at Rattlesnake Lake. With BE Beauty braiding hair and Fauxy Furr outfitting us in vintage, it’s bound to be an epic day in the PNWeed.
The idea arose when my best friend Brittanie mentioned coming to Seattle for work. She owns BE Beauty Salon and wanted to style hair for an editorial. We brainstormed concepts and I knew just the team.
As I wrap up my 20’s and blaze into my 30’s, I can’t help but feel high on life. A road trip to Salvation Mountain with a few of my favorites only amplified these emotions.
Brittanie, Chelsea, Colin and I loaded the Mazda and mobbed three hours east. 90 degrees out and nowhere to change? No problem. Hair extensions, a trunk of clothes and more shoes than an average closet served as our styling area.
For today’s Trichome Tuesday I want to feature a chunky, frosty, fat purple nug by Private Reserve. Behold, the beautiful Chunk Dawg!
While I’m usually a sativa sista, I couldn’t resist this indica hybrid of Mendo Purps and San Fernando Valley OG Kush. These dense buds have a sweet grape aroma and deep purple color (we see you Mendo Purps!). I also tasted notes of lemon and pine, likely from the SFV OG.
Morning, noon and night — cannabis consumers love Sunset Sherbet. With its top shelf genetics and potent effects, Private Reserve’s indica-dominant hybrid is an i502 favorite.
Sunset Sherbet is the byproduct of Girl Scout Cookies (OG Kush x Cherry Pie x Durban Poison) and Pink Panties. Effects include a full-body high with jolts of cerebral energy.
At last, a CHRMD by Sarah x Cannabess reunion! I haven’t seen my best friend Sarah since November 2014. When I heard she’d be in LA, I booked a flight for an epic nail-slash-smoke-sesh.
Sarah isn’t just my best friend, she’s also the most talented nail artist I know. She did Katy Perry’s nails for the 2017 Met Gala and Vogue recently called her work “the most extreme nail art yet.”
Some people like oatmeal cookies, others prefer chocolate chip. Me? I prefer my cookies Pink Cookies by Private Reserve. This strain is one of my favorites to both photograph and smoke.
The Pink Cookies plant itself is stunning. She’s got dark purple leaves, long orange hairs and a hearty bud structure. Late in bloom, flowers are covered in frosty trichomes.
Missy Elliot once rapped “pass that Dutch.” While some say the context is a spliff or blunt, I like to believe Missy’s a woman of good taste. She’s clearly referring to the Dutch Treat strain.
Rogue River Botanicals’ Dutch Treat strain especially stands out. This sativa-dominant hybrid tests around 24% THC and 1.4% CBD. It provides euphoric, uplifting and creative effects.
When your girl says she “wants the D” she most likely means she wants Sour Diesel by Rogue River Botanicals.
This is an invigorating sativa-dominant strain. The byproduct of Chemdawg 91 and Super Skunk, it has a pungent diesel aroma with earthy undertones. The strain tests between 19% and 25% THC, with high amounts of Myrcene, Pinene and Limonene.
What happens when two of my favorite strains collide? The result is Silvertip, an insanely potent yet well balanced sativa-dominant hybrid.
With genetics like Granddaddy Purple and Super Silver Haze, you know this strain hits hard. Silvertip starts with a relaxing head high, then progresses to more euphoric effects. The high lasts a couple hours, but being sensitive to indicas (or at least that Graddaddy Purp), Silvertip left me couchlocked towards the end.
I’m a creature of habit, so I usually smoke strains I know. However, after my recent shoot with Taylor, she gifted me this gorgeous nug of Inflorescence LLC‘s Strawberry Pie strain. It’s so delicious, I couldn’t help but share for Macro Monday!
