🌿 What’s in My Wellness Basket: Favorites I Use Every Day

 




Posted in The Wellness Den | May 31, 2025


You know those items you reach for every single day without even thinking about it? The ones that make you feel more balanced, energized, calm, and cared for?


That’s my wellness basket—a little collection of tools and products that support my body, mind, and mood in a really gentle (but powerful) way.


And because I get so many DMs asking “What do you actually use daily?” — here’s a peek inside my real-life, no-fluff favorites that I truly swear by.

✨ My Daily Wellness Basket Must-Haves


These are the tried-and-true products that have earned a permanent spot in my routine. They keep me grounded, supported, and feeling like me again—especially through stress, hormone swings, and busy days.

🍋 

CBD Nano Jellies (Green Compass)


My go-to for daily calm, focus, and emotional regulation.


They help quiet the mental noise, take the edge off anxiety, and give me a clearer, more centered start to my day. I take one every single morning.


Think of it like nervous system nourishment. Calm without the fog.

🌿 

Digestive Jellies (Green Compass)


Game. Changer.


These little gems keep my digestion happy and my bloating minimal. They support gut health and regularity—and we know a healthy gut = a happier brain and body.


Bonus: They taste amazing and double as a treat.

🌙 

Unwind THC Jellies (Green Compass)


For when I need a little extra help winding down in the evening or after a really high-stress day.


These contain low-dose THC for a deeper sense of calm without feeling “off.” I use them a few times a week when my anxiety flares or I’ve had a long emotional day.


Sometimes your brain just needs a signal that it’s safe to relax.

😴 

Sleep Nano Jellies (Green Compass)


Deep, restful sleep = everything. These help me fall asleep faster and stay asleep, without grogginess the next morning.


I don’t take them every night, but when I do—it’s lights out in the best way.

💧 

Collagen Peptides (Green Compass)


This is a non-negotiable for me. I’ve seen a huge improvement in my hair, skin, nails, and joints since using it consistently.


It also supports skin elasticity and scalp health, which is a big part of my hair regrowth journey.


Beauty + healing from the inside out.

🥬 

Daily Greens (Walmart Find!)


Not everything I use is fancy—and these greens are a budget-friendly staple I love.


I mix them into water or smoothies for added nutrients, energy, and gut health. They help fill in nutritional gaps without needing 10 different supplements.


Everyday wellness doesn’t have to be expensive or complicated.

💛 Why This Matters


Your wellness routine doesn’t have to be overwhelming.

It doesn’t have to be 12 steps or take 2 hours.


It just has to work for you.


These tools help me:

  • Stay grounded during anxiety

  • Support my body during hormone shifts

  • Protect my sleep

  • Improve my digestion

  • Keep my hair recovery going strong

  • And most importantly—feel like myself again

If you’re building your own wellness basket and want to know where to start, I’d be happy to help you pick a couple favorites that align with your goals.

With love + balance,

Saturday 9: Good Morning, Heartache

Trying another new thing called Saturday 9, it can be found here:  http://samanthasaturday9.blogspot.com 1) Do you come up with your brightest ideas early in the morning or late at night?   I would say that I am most creative later in the evenings 2) Are you more likely to feel romantic at night or in the morning?  Depends on the day :-), but usually at night 3) Do you shower in the morning, after work or before bed?   I shower in the mornings, it helps wake me up 4) Billie Holiday was just 44 when she died. Is there an artist whose early demise surprised and saddened you?   Not an artist but Heath Ledger's death really shocked me and took me by surprise.  He is one of my all time favorite actors. 5) Billie was known as "Lady Day." Do you have a cool nickname? (If not, feel free to give yourself one right now.)   No cool nicknames, as a kid I was "Woodie or Fruitcake".....don't ask LOL 6) When was the last time you had the blues?   ...

Who Are you?

Sunday stealing  Who Are you? Part 7 – It is Over!  Part 7: Self Image 84. Describe the routine of a normal day for you:   I wake up at 6:00am, take a shower, get ready for the day, then I go downstairs and feed the critters, and make breakfast for hubby and I.  We usually leave the house by about 7:30ish and I drop my husband off at work.  Then I work (I'm a Pet Groomer) until about 3:30 or 4:00ish then I leave for home and go get my hubby from work.  Then I come home and make dinner, feed the critters, work on cleaning the house a little and we usually head to bed about 8:30ish or 9:00. 85. What is your greatest strength as a person?   I am a very compassionate and have a big heart 86. What is your greatest weakness?   Interrupting people when they are talking 87. Are you going to run for President in 2016?   Nope, I don't care about politics all that much 88. Are you generally self-contained? No, I do like to talk, except t...

🌿 CBD and Hormones: What Every Woman Should Know

  Posted in The Wellness Den | June 14, 2025 Let’s be real: being a woman comes with a lot of hormonal ups and downs. Mood swings. Fatigue. Bloating. Brain fog. Anxiety. Sleep issues. And don’t even get me started on the perimenopause rollercoaster. Whether you’re in your 20s or late 40s (like me!), hormones influence everything —your energy, mood, digestion, skin, cycle, and emotional balance. But here’s something most women don’t hear enough: CBD can help. Not as a magic pill or miracle cure—but as a powerful tool that supports your body’s natural rhythms and helps bring balance when everything feels off. 💛 What Happens When Hormones Are Out of Whack? When estrogen, progesterone, cortisol, or thyroid hormones get thrown off, you may feel: Anxious or irritable Wired but tired Struggling with sleep or concentration Sluggish digestion or metabolism Cravings, mood dips, and PMS from another planet Sound familiar? Now enter: your Endocannabino...
