Plant Beautiful Skincare – A Holistic Experience for Mind & Body
Essential oils and beauty go together like peanut butter and jelly, grilled cheese and tomato soup, April showers and May flowers… well you get the point. According to Pranarom’s National Educator, Amy Galper, B.A. MA. Certified Aromatherapist, “a great clean beauty facial care product needs to nourish us in 3 ways: physically, emotionally and psycho-spiritually. Applying product to our faces is a deeply personal experience, and can help us be more present, foster self-reflection and confidence, and just make us feel really good.” And we all could use more of that!
Simple. Effective. 100% Organic.
Your skincare routine just got easier! Here are a few tips and suggestions for using Pranarom’s Plant Beautiful skincare and creating your own beauty ritual to nourish your skin and soul:
Try cleansing your face with oil, rather than soap, and take note of how gently this lifts away dirt and grime without stripping your skin. The Pure Facial Cleansing Oil is perfect for this, as it’s easy to use and leaves a non-greasy feeling after rinsing.
Use floral waters to tone and soothe sensitivity. After cleansing and patting your face dry, try misting with one of Pranarom’s Facial Mists – beautiful blends of a few different hydrosols and soothing aloe vera. They feel light and clean while imparting nuanced aromas that immediately calm both mind and skin.
After cleansing and toning, feed the skin with one of the deeply nutritive Treatment Moisture Oils, massaging gently for best results.
Pay attention to the scent of the essential oils and how well they partner and align with the plant oils, and how the scent makes you feel.

Take your immune health to the next level with Country Life Vitamins
It’s not always easy to eat a balanced diet with all the nutrients we need, and something as important as our immune system needs extra attention. To fill the gaps we might be missing, adding in certain vitamins to our daily wellness routine makes sure we’re covering all our bases without the added stress. Thanks to Country Life Vitamins, we can trust that the ingredients they use in their products follow their 5 pledges – Authenticity, Cleanliness, Freshness, Consistency & Accuracy.
Immune Support When It Matters
Vitamin D
Also known as the Sunshine Vitamin, Vitamin D aids in the absorption of calcium, helping to form and maintain healthy bones and teeth, as well as promote immune health.*
Multivitamins
Get the essential nutrients you need for health and wellness. Their Core Daily-1 multivitamins simplify your daily nutrition with support across seven key nutritional areas.*
Minerals
Minerals are elements used by the body that are not produced by plants, and play an important role in metabolism and other various bodily functions.* Many of their minerals are chelated (bound to amino acids) and they provide both single forms as well as multi-mineral formulas.
Calcium
Formulated to maximize your body’s calcium absorption for healthier teeth and bones, their calcium supplements may also be blended with minerals for total-body utilization. Adequate calcium and vitamin D as part of a healthful diet, along with exercise, may reduce the risk of osteoporosis later in life.*

Manitoba Harvest’s mission to transform consumer health starts simply and sustainably: with hemp. Since 1998, they’ve grown their portfolio of hemp products with a dedication to quality, sustainability, and consumer wellness that has positioned the company as the global leader in hemp foods.
They’re Hemp’s Biggest Fan
Their passion for hemp foods is rooted in their founder Mike Fata’s personal transformation. He used to weigh over 300 pounds and was sick and tired of being sick and tired. When he decided it was time for a change, he overhauled his diet, focusing on protein, healthy fats, and fiber – all nutrients found in hemp foods!
Since hemp foods played such an essential role in Mike’s health transformation, he wanted everyone to be able to try them.
Shop Hemp
We’ve have them in all shapes, sizes, and flavors: Hemp Yeah! granola, Hemp Yeah! milk*, Hemp Yeah! snack bars, hemp hearts, Hemp Yeah! protein, hemp seed oil and capsules!
*not pictured
There are so many ways to add their products in your everyday meals! We’ve added their Organic Hemp Hearts in our October Smoothie of the Month – Caramel Craze! It’s everything we would imagine fall to be with bananas, dry oats, local apple butter, almonds, seasonal spices, apple juice, almondmilk, & a vegan caramel drizzle!
Check out a few of these creative recipes that you can use Manitoba Harvest’s Hemp Hearts at home!
-1 tablespoon sesame oil (or use olive, canola oil)

-2 tablespoons almond flour
-3 tablespoons hemp hearts
Method
1. Drain water from tofu and gently squeeze as much water as possible using your palms.
2. Place tofu on a plate and place another plate over it. Then place a heavy object (i.e. a book, canned goods, or a skillet) to help squeeze additional water for 30 minutes or so. Drain water in between that accumulates on plate.
3. Cut tofu into cubes and use a paper towel to absorb additional moisture and pat dry. You may have to repeat process a couple of times.
4. Preheat oven to 400° F.
5. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or silicon mat.
6. In a medium bowl, combine tofu with sesame oil, soy sauce, and combine well.
7. Mix in almond flour and hemp seeds until tofu is evenly coated.
8. Arrange tofu in an even layer on a baking sheet.
9. Bake for 30-35 minutes. Toss it half way and continue baking until it looks golden brown.
10. Enjoy by itself or mix with your favorite salad!
1. Bring water to a boil over high heat. Add the tea bags, cover and steep for 10 minutes.
2. In a high power blender, combine the cinnamon, ginger, vanilla, honey, hemp seeds, cashews, and steeped tea. Blen on medium for 2 minutes, then blend on high for about 1 minute – or until the drink is smooth and frothy. Pour into a mug. If desired, top with a sprinkle of cinnamon and hemp seeds. Enjoy!
1. Blend walnuts for a minute or so until they’re broken down.
2. Add the rest of the ingredients and blend until a dough forms.
3. Roll into approximately 16 balls and let them set in the freezer for a couple hours. These can be stored in the fridge for at least a week or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
4. Enjoy!
NOTE: You can roll them in a mixture of coconut sugar and cinnamon for an extra treat, or you can roll them in hemp seeds, chia seeds, coconut or cacao powder for an extra treat!
Have you been interested in hemp products? Well now’s the time to start! PlusCBD Oil has been a pioneer in the CBD industry, taking extraordinary efforts to make high-quality, safe, and effective hemp CBD oil products.
Why should I take CBD oil? Great question! CBD can have a positive effect on general well-being, impacting mood, sleep, stress levels, and so much more. Everyone has their preference on the way they consume CBD- capsules, topically, liquid droppers, gummies, etc. Luckily for us, PlusCBD Oil just had a price decrease for all of their products so now you can try more than one and feel like you’re not breaking the bank!
How much should I take? Well that can be tricky… The best thing to do is start small and work your way up. Start with a couple of drops a day at bedtime (that way if you take too much and it makes you sleepy, you’ll be ready for bed!). If you feel like it didn’t help, try a couple more drops and work your body into it. Everyone has different tolerances so a strength that may work for your best friend may not work for you – and that’s okay! Check out some other common CBD concerns below:

Strong brewed chai tea

PlusCBD Oil unflavored oil
sweetener of your choice (sugar, honey, whichever kind you prefer)
cinnamon
nutmeg
ice cubes
Method
1. In whatever cup you plan on drinking out of, pour in the milk and chai tea you want (I prefer about half of each in the glass). It’s also easier to measure these liquids in the glass so I don’t over-pour for myself.
2. Add CBD oil. There is no right or wrong amount of oil but make sure you use only the dosage you normally take. If you haven’t used CBD before, start with a couple of drops and you can always add more as you go. Mix.
3. Add your sweetener. There’s no right or wrong amount of sweetener either, as long as you’re using what you like you’re good to go! 🙂
4. Next, add a dash of cinnamon and a small sprinkle of nutmeg. Mix.
5. Add ice cubes, mix once more, and enjoy!
