Our bodies are revitalized, the aging process seems less daunting since we know we don’t have to go at it in pain, with inflammation, or stiff joints. Life has been repurposed for the better, and our family is happier than ever… CONTINUE READING >> 

We all want the best of things in life, whether we can afford it or not, nobody willingly chooses the latter quality product over a high end one if they can help it. The same goes for foods and nutrition and taking care of our well-being, simply eating vitamins daily has not become enough, we need sustenance from within.

For example, having bad quality of sleeps? It has been widely proved that a right dosage of CBD oil can improve our rest. More specific steps, have a look at the newest article from Healthcanal.

The body we have been given is the only one we have, we need to nurture, cherish, and take care of it in the best possible way so that this vessel we are traveling in can last for many years to come. For my husband and I and our two growing children, this meant the implementation of what has become our wonder product, CBD oil, and product varieties.

Like with all products there is always going to be an abundance of brands, products, and go-to’s to choose from, and each to their own as my granny used to say, for some help and guidance from professionals in the industry on what would best suit your needs and family dynamics, check out https://cheefbotanicals.com/how-to-choose-cbd-oil/ in taking your first step.

This doesn’t mean you need to stock up on every flavor in each category, as great as that would be, but simply going with what is appealing to you at the beginning and building on from there.

We began with a few drops of oil in our morning coffees and the kids taking a CBD chewable, and now I have a CBD topical in my handbag at all times, surplus bottles of oil to drop into the dinner meal if we need that little bit extra, and a box of CBD gummies for those in need of a little aid from mother nature herself. A simple flower that transformed our lives.

Our bodies are revitalized, the aging process seems less daunting since we know we don’t have to go at it in pain, with inflammation, or stiff joints. Life has been repurposed for the better, and our family is happier than ever.

Knowing your process.

No two families or individuals are exactly alike, mirror image, ‘could bet what the other was going to do at any given time’, not even twins, which is why when it comes to deciding on how you want to administer CBD into your diet and lifestyle, you need to assess your preferences.

There are many ways, some more common than others, the main objective is to choose the one suited to you. Take a look at a few that pop up in conversations I’ve had time and time again.

    • The most common and diverse of the products, from putting it into great recipes, see some ideas in this link, to soaking into biscuits for you and the pets, and even stirring in the family Bolognese when no one is the wiser, a great choice if you are just starting on your CBD adventure.
    • There is something for everyone, a CBD vape allows you to get your recommended dosage without having to stress about meal planning or measuring of oils, if smoking is your thing, now you can have the best of both worlds.
    • The most convenient and effortless of the methods, simply pop some CBD capsules in the morning or evening of your correct dosage and let the rest do the work.
    • As a chef this characteristic of the product appealed to me the most, I could try new things, making lollipops to home-made gummies in all shapes, and even tried my hand at CBD infused cupcakes. Let’s just say they went down a treat, and the family got their pick me up without a fuss.

See what others have to say about CBD edibles and if they’re any good check out this blog on whether CBD edibles work and how to go about your choice of ‘treat.’

For us, the priority was not to try them all at once, but we took it one step and one day at a time. Trying a new variety as the last one finished, we wrote down what we enjoyed and which was effortless and put the rest down to experiment. It works for us and it can work for you.

We are happy to present this collaborative post to offer valuable information to our readers.

Venturing through Ventura on California’s Gold Coast

As the virus continues wreaking havoc on travel almost everywhere, biking close to home seems to be one of the best alternatives. With that in mind we revisit this story from a few years ago about pedaling around our hometown.

Over all Southern California is extremely bike friendly, but some places are friendlier than others.

We love Los Angeles, but aren’t big fans of fighting traffic on two wheels and feeling like we might wind up like a bug on a windshield at any given moment, so the urban sprawl isn’t our first choice when it comes to pedaling along the Pacific shore.

Luckily, just a few miles up the coast there is a very different story in the quaint beach town of San Buenaventura. The name even means good luck.

Known simply as Ventura, this is what California dreamin’ is all about, we could almost hear “let the sunshine in” playing on a loop while we rode along the promenade.

This section of the Pacific Coast Bike Route, which runs some two hundred miles from San Luis Obispo to Malibu, skirts right along the waterfront. No doubt all two hundred of those miles have a lot to offer, and we love to ride, but casually, not crazily. We were glad the city’s picturesque downtown is only a few blocks off the trail.

We certainly didn’t want to miss the sights, so we began with the mission, one of the earliest settlements in the state.  Mission San Buenaventura was founded by Franciscan Father Junípero Serra in 1782 as part of Spain’s colonization of North America.

Water from the nearby Ventura River was brought by aqueduct and soon a town grew around the mission compound. After becoming part of Mexico, and then the United States, Ventura was incorporated as a city in 1866.

Set on the hill above the mission, the stoic City Hall building overlooks Main Street below. Built as the courthouse over one hundred years ago, the majestic structure now stands as a landmark, especially after the incredibly close call it experienced during the catastrophic Thomas Fire late in 2017.

Everyone wasn’t so lucky, the hall survived, perhaps from a bit of the good fortune that the city’s name invokes, and Father Serra’s statue in front was also unscathed, along with the Municipal Art Collection, featuring one hundred works by seventy artists.

We found more local art on our way back to the beachfront while passing under the Highway 101 overpass on Figueroa Street. Murals on both sides of the bridge portray life in this neighborhood, known as Tortilla Flats, before the freeway was built after World War II.

In an effort to preserve the once vibrant community’s history, Marybeth Hanrahan and Moses Mora Hanrahan captured the stories and lives of people who were displaced by the road project.

Back at the seaside, we took the opportunity to actually get out over the water on the pier. The original Ventura Pier was built in 1872 but, like most everything that spends much time in the ocean, it has had to be rebuilt several times.

Once upon a time steam ships docked here, carrying passengers and cargo up and down the coast, but roads and rails made them obsolete. The current version (fourth or fifth depending on who’s counting) is purely for pleasure, and only dates back to 1995 when its predecessor was destroyed by a storm.

Following the bike route a few miles down the coast took us to Ventura Harbor. As we mentioned before, we love to ride our bikes, but we are not the intense, passionate sort of cyclists who deck out in lycra and go on epic, marathon rides.

That meant that after meandering many (Really? Many? OK, OK, a few.) miles we were ready for some refueling. One might say our cycling style could be described as bike to table.

That is one big reason why we were so excited to hear from prAna when they offered to provide clothing for our excursion. These pants and tops are not only more than comfortable enough for riding, they are good looking enough to get off and walk into a seaside café.

Another good reason is that prAna uses sustainable materials such as hemp, organic cotton, and recycled wool. This means way less energy, pesticides, and fertilizers go into creating every outfit.

Having consumed a bit of the bounty of the sea, we were ready to see some of how it got to us. The marina is the home port for about a thousand boats, many which comprise Ventura’s commercial fishing fleet.

Every day dozens of vessels head out in hopes of bringing back the delicacies we seafood lovers crave. But we were also reminded that this is sometimes dangerous work, so we paid our respects at the Fishermen’s Memorial Arch.

Artist Michel Petersen, known as Michellino, created the tribute by making plaster casts of real fishermen and incorporating them into her ceramic monument.  We were so intrigued that we looked it up and found this informative and fun article on the making of the monument.

It certainly doesn’t hurt to be aware of where our food, and clothing for that matter, comes from.

David & Veronica, GypsyNester.com

We’d like to send out a huge thank you to prAna for providing our outfits for this cycling adventure. Veronica was wearing a Coal colored Ostara Top and Shala Pants in Cargo Green. David had on Black Furrow Pants and a Long Sleeve Hoodie in Charcoal Heather when the beach breeze called for an extra layer.

We are thrilled that they have also offered our readers 15% off prAna products when you shop online. Just use the code: TRGNS18

All prAna products are made using recycled and organic materials and are Fair Trade Certified as well as Flouride and PFOA free.

 

4 Simple Finance Tips that Nobody Bothered To Tell You

Have you ever seen just how many get-rich-quick books are out there? It has to be in the hundreds of thousands by now, and they all promise to give you the one secret to becoming a millionaire. You would think if they all had so much wisdom there would be a lot more millionaires walking around.

The sad truth is that many of these are just selling a bill of goods. Don’t fall for it. In reality, building wealth is usually pretty boring. It takes consistency, discipline, some common-sense strategies, and a little bit of luck.

You may not be able to control the luck part (although that’s what insurance is for). But you can become the master of your own destiny in many of the other areas. Most people aren’t going to admit that it’s all this boring and simple. But the following four finance tips — that nobody bothered to tell you — really can help you find financial independence.

1. Living Frugal as a Path to Wealth

Hollywood would have you believe that you need some amazing scheme or brilliant investment strategy to build wealth. Sure, that can work. But it’s a high-risk game that creates more losers than millionaires. The easier, more-certain path to financial security is to live below your means, especially when young, and squirrel away some money into investments.

Whether it’s into a 401k, Roth IRA, or mutual funds, compound interest will usually always be the strongest wealth-building tool available to most people. Learn how to invest money wisely. Perhaps, invest just a little bit per year away during your 20s and 30s, and it will grow and grow and grow. It’s not exciting — but it does work.

2. Insurance is Cheap and Fantastic

There is nothing thrilling about insurance. But there’s a good reason that those doing the best financially rely on insurance so much: it’s relatively cheap and it safeguards you against unlikely but devastating outcomes. Even the best planning and most cautious approach won’t make you invincible.

There is always a chance you’ll face a catastrophe, and the smartest among us recognize that and work to be prepared. So load up on all the insurance you can get, and pay special attention to your health and life insurance policies for the ultimate security against the unknown.

3. Credit Is Powerful — If Used Responsibly

Some advisors tell you to avoid debt like a plague. Others say credit cards are powerful and will help you build your FICO score from an early age. Who is right? Both of them! Having access to credit is great and you can use it skillfully to help you get ahead in life and business.

On the other hand, careless debt taken on with no strategy or valid reason is almost always detrimental. The key is to get a good credit card with excellent perks and use it responsibly. This way, you get all the benefits and avoid the potentially ruinous downside.

4. Nobody Will Ever Be Impressed

Many people believe they need to buy expensive things to show off their success. What’s the sense in getting an MBA and working at a financial institution if people don’t realize that you’ve “made it?” Unfortunately, that isn’t how it works. You can over-extend yourself to buy a car that’s $20,000 above your price range. You can buy more house than you should. You can forever try to keep up with the Joneses. OK, some people might see it and feel good for you.

But, ultimately, nobody really cares. They won’t see you in an entirely different light and forever consider you a success. That’s all psychological. So don’t waste your money to impress people who will never actually be impressed. Buy nice things — for you — if you want. But only do it when you can actually afford it rather than risking your family’s security for the approval of people who really don’t even care.

The Real True About Building Financial Security

A lot the popular beliefs about getting rich are myths, misconceptions, or outright lies. The best path to financial security and independence is usually a lot more dull for most people who can’t rely on an inheritance.

You get a good job, live reasonably, invest in stable funds, and wait for the money to grow. Get insurance to protect against the things you can’t prevent. Use credit wisely and responsibly to get ahead and build your FICO score. And don’t worry about what other people think.

It may sound too good to be true. Or it may sound too boring to be true. But when it comes to finance and getting ahead, boring really is the best way to win the race.

A Safe Road Trip: Tips to Protect your Eyes, Hair, and Skin

This year’s summer is a little different from the ones you have been living in the past. As the pandemic keeps spreading, there are ways of enjoying a safe trip with your family that does not involve risks. However, even if you can feed your travel bug and feel satisfied by going on a trip near your home, there are other safety tips. While this new way of traveling and enjoying your summer holidays might not involve a high risk of contagion, there could be other factors that can threaten the safety and comfort of your family camping trip. Protect your loved ones with the easy tips below.

Look After Your Eyes’ Health with Sunglasses

Firstly, even if you can’t fly to exotic destinations like India, Mexico, Brazil, or Thailand, it would be reckless not to protect your eyes. Indeed, the sun can be just as strong in an area near you, depending on where you live. And, prolonged exposure to UV rays can cause serious – and sometimes long-lasting damage to your eyesight.

Naturally, while on holiday, you will want accessories that compliment your outfits and enhance your look. Luckily, thanks to stylish sunglasses that complement the shape of your face and your favorite tones, you can enjoy the perfect outfit while protecting your vision.

Finding the right pair of glasses or sunglasses that can offer you protection from the sun rays while enhancing your look is not easy. That is why you should consult a professional or visit website’s pages that are built to help you identify and buy the right pair for you.

Lastly, you could consider wearing safety glasses while on your trip. There are many reasons for travelers to invest in such an accessory. While they might not have been on your list of priorities, it is time to add them to your pre-trip shopping list!

Bring Sunscreen

Just like in sunglasses, you won’t need to travel miles across the world to perceive the damaging effects that exposure to sun rays can cause to your skin. Investing in high-quality sunscreen can help you add a protective layer to your skin. Simultaneously, such a simple addition can offer you unparalleled peace of mind – especially if you are traveling with little ones.

When buying sunscreen, make sure you are investing in mineral sunscreen lotions, and not chemical ones. Aside from being much safer for your skin health, they can be used safely on babies older than six months. One of the added benefits of these sunscreens is that they are safe for marine life – an excellent choice if you are trying to live more sustainably!

Bring Moisturizer

While you might have managed to put together a small travel bag with some makeup essentials, you should not forget that your skin will go through a lot while traveling! Wind, dust, less sleep, and more activities can cause you to end up with dry skin. If you indulge in some types of foods you are not used to or are spending hours sunbathing, your skin condition can worsen within hours!

Having a small box of moisturizer with you during your holiday can help you look after your skin while enjoying your holiday!

Eye Drops can Help you Fight Dust.

If you are enjoying a road trip, it would be impossible not to consider the amount of dust that you will encounter. While you might be ready with enough changes of clothes to look stylish no matter where your road trip takes you, your eyes might end up being under stress.

As we have seen above, opting for wearing safety glasses can offer you an initial level of protection. These can also be stylish, which means that you can make the most of any environment, independently from how dusty or sandy it is. Beach days, hiking trips, or excursion to the desert – they are all accessible now!

However, another option to consider is bringing eye drops with you. They can help you fight some of the symptoms of allergies and keep your eyes fresh and moisturized.

Have a Lip Balm with You

Like in the case of your skin, your lips can take a hit when you are traveling. Especially on camping trips, when you won’t be able to benefit from high-standard toilet and bathroom facilities, you should always have a natural moisturizing blend with you to look after your lips.

If you have forgotten to buy a high-quality lip balm and you are already on the road, you can make an all-natural version with some simple ingredients such as beeswax or coconut oil. If you are already on the road or in the car, you can pick up these ingredients at any well-stocked store and make one in 10 minutes.

Wear a Hat or Head Scarf

Lastly, it is essential to look after the health of your hair. If you had been thinking about enjoying a 5-star holiday in a luxury hotel in the Maldives, you might have had all this looked after. However, due to the current travel restrictions, you might have to do with the bathrooms and facilities of a camping site not far away from the total wilderness.

In these situations, looking at your best might not be the number one priority. However, once the holiday it’s over, you should not have to fight to regain the soft, shiny hair you had before a holiday on the road. While the stars in some 50s movies had it all figured out, there are some new ways to wear a headscarf or a hat that can only benefit your look – of course, while protecting your hairstyle!

If you don’t know what would work for you or what situations you will be in, the best option is to have a more casual hat and an elegant silk scarf for a more exclusive occasion. In this way, you can get you ready for any environment and situation, independently on the dress code required.

While these protections for your hair, eyes, and skin on a road trip might require a little attention, they can help you enjoy your trip without worrying about any health-related consequences when you are back home!
