Mindfulness, Kief and Hemp Wick, Oh My!
The Perfect Tool For Chilling Out
So I am completely sold on my mindfulness necklace which can be purchased here for $85-$115 depending on the style you choose. Mine is a rose gold finish and I literally wear it everyday. It goes with any and every outfit, there are multiple styles to choose from and it even has a nifty engraving on it which means “Calm” in Japanese.
The best part about these necklaces is that they remind us about a very important part of life: to just chill and be in the moment. It is so easy to get lost in daily tasks that sometimes we forget to just breathe and be present. This lovely necklace is a stylish and fun reminder to do so. I received mine as a birthday present and have not taken it off since. For someone who suffers from pretty bad anxiety I can attest to the fact that this little tool does wonders for those helpless moments when everything feels like it’s just too much. Please let me know what you think if you decide to try one too! I’m curious to know whether it works just as well for others.
Let’s Talk About Kief Baby!
Now let’s talk about kief , which refers to:
“the resinous trichomes of cannabis that may accumulate in containers or be sifted from loose, dry cannabis flower with a mesh screen or sieve. Kief contains a much higher concentration of psychoactive cannabinoids, such as THC, than that of the cannabis flowers from which it is derived. Due to the fact that it contains a higher level of THC many consumers choose to add collected kief to their marijuana for a more intense high.” (Wikipedia)
Meaning, it is the pollen on cannabis buds that can be collected by your average grinder and it is very high in THC content. Therefore it gets you very high folks, so that’s not what you’re into I would skip this altogether and donate your kief to me. But really, it’s an awesome buzz and fun experience which I believe everyone should try at least once in a safe environment. I love to pack a clean glass bowl with my favorite ground bud and then add my kief in a thin layer to the top of my packed bowl. Yum!
Hemp Wick is Wicked.
Finally, I want to shout out to hemp wick! Hemp wick is essentially hemp twine that’s coated in beeswax for a slow burn. Think of it as a slow-burning candlewick, especially for use with pipes and bongs. Simply light it up, use it to spark your bowl as needed, then blow or shake it out when done. Be careful not to burn yourself! Because it’s a little bit sticky, you can keep it wrapped and ready around your lighter or bowl. Did you know that inhaling butane from a lighter or the mixture chemicals, glue and wood from a match is much worse for your body than lit, all-natural, wax-coated hemp twine? Hemp is cannabis, after all. Hemp wick also burns at a lower temperature than a lighter, meaning that hits are smoother and there’s more potential to appreciate tasty terpenes. HUGE added bonus: with hemp wick, very little ends up having to go to landfill. It is very inexpensive to purchase on amazon or at your local head shop.
