What do you get when you combine Paradiso Gardens, Palm Springs and Ladies of Paradise? A cannabis paradise — and that's exactly what last weekend felt like.
We teamed up for fun in the sun to create content for Paradiso Gardens, a new brand hitting California's recreational market. Paradiso is proudly independent and grown in the Salinas Valley. Flower is grown in greenhouses to harness the power of the sun. This allows their team to grow year round while protecting the resources we depend on.
If you want to experience weed that is flavorful, unique and organically grown, then you want Experience Organics.
Experience Organics is a Tier 3 Producer/Processor located outside my hometown in Benton City, Wash. With decades of experience, this farm takes a different approach to cultivating craft cannabis. They utilize state-of-the-art technology, follow strict organic cultivation practices and continually develop their in-house breeding program to bring consumers unique genetics.
75K LAPTOP GIVEAWAY!
I cannot believe I’ve hit 75k on Instagram under two years. As my way to say thanks, I want to give away a 13″ Acer laptop. But this isn’t just any laptop, it’s the laptop I won on The Price is Right!
WARNING: Consumption of cannabis may cause you to get outdoors and do things.
That's exactly what I did during my recent backpacking trip to Blanca Lake. I hiked, shot photos and smoked joints galore. I also kept my legs and cap covered from mosquitos thanks to Outdoor Voices.
It's Fashion Friday with one of my favorite shoots at my favorite locations — Washington Pass Overlook! If you've ever wondered what I look like at 7AM with zero makeup and unbrushed hair, well this is it. Keeping it au natural to keep one with nature.
After photographing Lazy Bee Gardens and en route to catch a flight in Seattle, we stopped at this scenic viewpoint. We trekked through the frosty woods and into the meadow as the sun slowly crept up behind Liberty Bell Mountain (that giant mountain in the background). It might've been 50 degrees outside, but it felt like 30 as I did a quick change in the elements. Gotta get the shot, right!?
I recently attended a cannabis event unlike any other. Attendees relaxed in the wellness village, lit up in the hash lounge and noshed on The Herbal Chef’s five-course dinner. So where is this magical place? The Emerald Exchange.
Emerald Exchange highlights world class, sun-grown Northern California cannabis to the SoCal community. Some of my favorite vendors included Sunnabis, Foria, Papa & Barkley, Medicine Box, KIVA and Hummingbird Medicinals. Not only could you sample products, you could also purchase them! Clearly we’re not in Washington anymore…
Part of being an adult means you can dress up for photo shoots in really rad locations. Lucky for me, the PNW has a plethora of picturesque photo spots, including North America's only rainforest — the Hoh Rainforest.
During my last trip to Falcanna, Bethany, Andrea and I did some exploring. We stumbled upon this mossy location and it felt like a scene from Game of Thrones. Throw in a vintage, floral dress and you can call me Cannabess, Queen of the Green.
Travel to a land where medicine makers still flourish via the Emerald Exchange. This farmers market, educational conference and wellness festival is located in magical Malibu Canyon. The goal is to create a mindful dialogue while showcasing world class, sun-grown Northern California cannabis to the SoCal community.
I cannot wait to attend the Emerald Exchange on August 12th and 13th. Molly Peckler first introduced me to the event after her experience. She raved about the venue, vendors and overall vibe. No surprise, it’s been on my radar ever since. Looking at the lineup, it’s hard to decide what I’m most excited about. So here’s my top five things you don’t want to miss at Emerald Exchange.
Sorry I'm stoned with Blunted Objects and Valfre in Venice Beach. We shot this Fashion Friday at one of my favorite smoke spots — the canals!
I met up with Melodie of Blunted Objects and my friend Dimi for a west side adventure. Melodie styled me in Blunted Objects' Tattoo Leaf Choker, Bud Leaf Cross Hand Chain, Frosty Leaf Filigree Hand Chain, Top Shelf Leaf Earrings and the Trinity Leaf Eyeglass Leash. Valfre's Sorry I'm Stoned shirt paired perfectly with black shorts and the silver accessories.
American woman, pass the joint to me.
American woman, I’m stoned now let me be.
Don’t bring schwag around my door.
We don’t need to fear the cops no more.
Oh Lenny, your song is one of my favorites for my favorite holiday — Independence Day.
We started our Fourth of July early with a very American Woman photoshoot. Andrea, Blakely and I envisioned patriotic vibes with a classic Americana feel. We set out, location unknown, and stumbled upon a content goldmine.
