REVIEWS CBD Living CBD Living Water I’m a self-confessed marketer’s dream for ‘healthy’ drinks. Kombucha, cold brews, iced teas, smoothies and cold- pressed juices – if it’s in a Whole Foods you can be sure I’d buy it (and many of these beverages aren’t cheap.) I happened upon this CBD-infused water on Instagram one evening and thought I’d give it a go. I was really dubious about the taste but can honestly say it tastes like tap water. There was a slight hint of hemp in the aftertaste, but to me that was reassuring as I then knew I hadn’t just been sold a regular bottle of water. CBD Living uses nanotechnology to infuse their water with a dose of CBD, and whatever that means, it works. CBD Living Bath Bomb Baths are the ultimate in self-care, so for this issue I went and took it a step further and upped the self-care element with a fancy lavender bath bomb infused with 60mg of CBD. First things first, this conked me out. There was a mental tug-of- war going on in my head in the bath between, ‘Should I stay mid-soak for five more minutes or should I get up and go to bed?’ There are two main things I test for in using bath bombs. First, does it fizz? And secondly, does it leave residue on my very white bath? The fizz was certainly there, it didn’t disappoint (I even made a Boomerang it was that good.) And there was essentially no residue left on my bath, just a lingering smell of lavender which I would love to always be the case. I absolutely adore bath bombs and this one was hands down one of my favourites. Natra CBD Gum Drops 500mg I consider myself a gummy aficionado at this point. I’ve tried so many CBD-infused gummies in the last few months, not all of them great tasting. How do Natra’s gum drops compare? Firstly, I love the fact that there were different flavours to try. I’m a pick’n’mix fan, so the more variety in flavour the better. Natra did really well to get the flavours to a point where you still get that earthy hemp taste, without it being overbearing. They haven’t tried to mask the natural CBD taste, and that’s a plus as far as I’m concerned, because I can say they most definitely taste like they have CBD in the mix. These gum drops contain 25mg of phytocannabinoid rich hemp oil, or PCR for short. To me, they resembled pastilles and were nice and chunky in size, meaning you would have plenty in taking just one or two. The office favourite was red, but if you’re a liquorice fan like me, you’ll love the black one. These gum drops are definitely up there with the better gummies I’ve tried. 148 VAPOUROUND CBD MAGAZINE
