Forgive the hold up here but I’ve been really taking my time with this post- I know, for like EVER, I’ve held off on discussing CBD oil. I just feel like instead of hopping on every wellness trend I need to take a minute, try it for a while, record my results, & then come to The Skinny Confidential to report back to you.
And you should be glad I waited a hot minute because I found a VERY insane product-one that I can recommend to you with full confidence. We’ll get to it but first things first, k?
LIKE wait, WTF is CBD? I mean many people confuse it with WEED. It’s not weed though. I could show you innumerable vintage pics of why I can’t smoke pot- like I have a box disposable camera stuffed away in my high school scrapbooks ( YAH- we used to have this thing called SCRAPBOOKS ! CRAZY TIMES ! DINOSAUR AGES REALLY ! ) that showcase me in the corner at ragers because I got too stoned to talk. So if you’re like me & you get anxious from weed, have no fear because CBD is not the same.
Let’s dissect with facts: CBD is an abbreviation for Cannabidiol, a chemical compound found naturally in the cannabis plant. It is NOT mind altering like marijuana, which means CBD will NOT get you all high. I feel more of a relaxing feeling really. The kind I like, Green Roads’ CBD, is extracted from 100% industrial hemp, which has non- detectable THC. They take it a step further & remove any THC particles. So it’s just pure, good old CBD. Basically don’t stress- you’ll pass a drug test because well, there’s nothing in this specific CBD that gets you high.
Now I have a million ideas for you on how to implement CBD into your life. Why? Because I’ve gotten creative with it. Things like: adding it to my golden latte, putting it in smooth move tea, adding a few drops to Michael’s massage oil & rubbing his back, & even- yes EVEN mixing it in my kale, blueberry smoothie.
I have probably been using CBD for the last 8 months. It all started with a few drops underneath my tongue at night. About three-ish if we’re getting specific. Which we are. We’re always getting specific in this neck of the woods, you know. Anyhow, I add some under my tongue & sort of let it chill & dissolve- EASY.
Then I got my boobs done ( you get it- we’ve talked about it a lot ! ) & started walking to this place in West Hollywood called Moon Juice. I would walk alone every day & grab this turmeric, healing coconut water. One day they asked me if I wanted to add CBD for inflammation- this made total sense because YES I DID BECAUSE I JUST HAD SURGERY YOU KNOW. I seriously think it had a lot to do with how fast I healed. My surgeon told me I healed the fastest he’s ever seen anyone heal. I moved frequently, focused on anti-inflammatory foods, took my vitamins, drank tons of water, AND had a few drops of CBD every day.
This is interesting, no?
Between you & me I am actually floored how well CBD oil works- I mean I try a lot of wellness shit you know? And this, THIS works. It’s relaxing without a high. It helps with anxiety but not in a druggy way. It combats inflammation & does it fast.
OTHER BENEFITS FOR YA: CBD is known to help with arthritis, joint pain, stomach cramps, period cramps, swelling, aches, colds, anxiety, depression, eczema, psoriasis, rashes, YOU NAME IT. Also, it’s known as a safe alternative to painkillers & some prescription drugs.
Really nothing negative to say here- CBD rules. I get the hype. In fact, it’s by my bed. Every night. I even found dog treats that have CBD in it & my Chihuahuas love it- before you judge, they love it & it’s actually very healthy. Google it.
Oh, yes & we can’t forget the brand: GREEN ROADS WORLD. This company is a brand, man- they have: OILS! LOTIONS ! SYRUPS ! COFFEE ! TEAS ! EDIBLES ! DOG TREATS ! Like the works. They’re seriously like the leading brand when it comes to CBD. They use certified organic hemp in their CBD process- I highly recommend looking for this when you’re purchasing CBD. They’re not just hopping on a trend either- this company has over 20 years of experience. YES PLZ. You should also know Green Roads World is non-GMO. I like the little dropper too- it’s the ideal situation for the oil. & every night, like clockwork- I use it. ( SPECIFICALLY FOR INFLAMMATION & ANXIETY FOR ME ! ).
Anyway, like I said I keep the tiny thimble by my bed. While watching my latest show ( The Soprano’s ) or reading my latest book ( Private Parts ), I add a few drops under my tongue- & WHAM I’m immediately relaxed & chill- in the best way possible.
I love the taste too- it tastes delicious to me. Like I bet it would be good in cookies?
INTO IT.
Have you guys tried CBD oil? Thoughts? Opinions? Would love to hear your experiences.
I have to tell you something: I may or may not have mixed Woo Coconut Oil Lube with Green Roads World…try it- it’s my treat from me to you ; ). HA!

Worth it! <3
So much yes!!
Love this!! Off topic, but what eyeshadows are you wearing?! #obsessed
Thanks for sharing. I’ve been really curious about it. How many mg. would you recommend for a chronic nighttime over-thinker / anxiety type?
300mg is a good place to start, although you could start even smaller if you really wanted to. Although it’s not like anything bad is going to happen if you take “too much” so I wouldn’t really worry about it that much.
I’m glad you found one that works for you. Be careful though, a run article in JAMA found that since CBD isn’t regulated, there often isn’t even any CBD in it. https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/article-abstract/2661569
I’m tempted to try CBD this very moment even though this is my first time of hearing about it. Just thinking if there’s a prescription if it were to work for cramps. I don’t want to abuse its use.

CBD oil SAVED ME!! I recently had my third ankle surgery and thanks to CBD patches and tinctures, it was the smoothest recovery ever!
LOVE IT!
I need to try CBD! I have anxiety and also deal with inflammation so this would be perfect for me! Thanks for sharing! x
Yes! Thanks for reading babe <3
As a natural healthcare approach, regular Osteopathic adjustments at The Joint can restore and maintain balance within your body, leaving you better prepared to live life to its fullest.
I don’t use that brand, but I looove Charlotte’s Web and Cura Wellness vape pens. It’s helped loads with my chronic pain and anxiety. I too was floored by how amazing this stuff is. I just hope big pharm doesn’t try and take it away from us like they did with marijuana. Let’s keep it as natural as possible, peeps!
Thanks for sharing nice information. You should feel pain relief if you are dealing with pain associated with inflammation like arthritis pain. CBD also helps improve sleep for those who struggle with anxiety, insomnia, and other sleep-related disorders.To learn more about the CBD Oils and Creams: https://www.justcbdstore.com
nice post
looking good
i like it
wow good
nice
Thanks Lauryn
I can’t do weed either, makes me so paranoid. I’ve been reluctant to try CBD for fear I’d get high, paranoid,etc. Have you heard of/thought of doing a post on Kratom? It’s a natual herb with painkilling properties.

Hi
Thanks for sharing….CBD also is known as cannabinoids, are obtained from the cannabis plant. It is very beneficial to buy CBD oil because it has many therapeutic and other medical uses.
Could you post the link for your fav cbd pens??
CBD oil can be used for most skin types to moisturise your skin without clogging the pores. It even helps in balancing oily skin, keeping it hydrated and regulating the skin’s oil production. Also, it has anti-ageing properties so it will be beneficial in reducing fine lines and wrinkles. Thanks for sharing such an informative article and I really liked it. Keep posting similar articles.
Just purchased! Was on the fence but per usual, your review was super helpful!
How quickly does CBD oil take effect?
Depends what form you’re taking. Edibles can take up to half an hour, but oils and tinctures usually only take a few minutes.
I’ve recently been diagnosed with PMDD (think if PMS and Post Pardum Depression had a baby – it’d offspring PMDD) . My OB immediately suggested anti-depressant as a solution, but I left saying I needed to do my homework on more natural methods and diet changes before popping a pill. Anyway, thinking about trying this CBD oil to combat the anxiety. Needed a good, clean brand for rec, so thanks!
I know I’m super late to this post, but I’ve been researching cbd oil for the same exact reason! My doctor prescribed Prozac and I really don’t want to take drugs. If you happen to see this – did you have any luck with the cbd oil?
What is the benefit of adding this to Smooth move tea? I occasionally drink the tea for constiptation.
CBD oil has both advantages and disadvantages. It all depends on its usage. First of all, we should gain some knowledge about CBD before using it. It helped a lot to take complete benefits of it.
Ahh, I hope it doesn’t give me buzz like we smoke Marijuana by the way before buying it do check does it have THC in it or not as it is not good and has many side effects too.
Loved this post. I feel a lot more comfortable ordering CBD now! Lauryn can you tell me what pen you use specifically? And also do you use 109 mg dose of the oil??
This company has the absolute worst customer service I have ever experienced in my life!!! Lauryn, I would not endorse their products, I’m sure there is another company out there doing what they are and I would consider finding someone else! I will NOT be purchasing CBD oil from green roads!
Hi check out cbdshores.com! They are one of the best I’ve found!!
I actually use it to bring down my anxiety when I Vaporize a bit too much THC. I Usually use some nice CBD buds and put them in my dry herb vaporizer. Works a charm.
Glad to see you have had some success with it.

Great, I also bought this oil. Very helpful in improving my sleep. Thank you for posting!
Agree! So I play basketball a few times a week. At 40 now, I get inflammation. CBD has been amazing. You would think, athletes shouldn’t touch marijuana products, but it’s really not even close to the same. Doesn’t bring me down or make me lazy as weed does.
I really like how you said that CBD helps you relax and is 100% industrial hemp. This is something that I have been looking into for a while. I think it would be really useful to try it or have my kids try it because it can help with anxiety
Glad you like it, i too feel much better while using CBD plus i really like it to sleep it help me so much !
Great. I want to try this.
CBD oil is awesome because it helps with so many things and its NOT snake oil. You just have to be careful of the brand of CBD oil you try. I’ve tried Green Roads and I agree with Lauryn that it’s one of the best. Cheap gas station or grocery store CBD oils usually don’t work and if they do they taste horrible!
I’m impressed, I must say. Really not often do I encounter a blog that both educative and entertaining. I’m very happy T stumbled here. Thanks a lot!
Amazing! Thanks for this lovely information. This is really wonderful blog i have ever seen. Love to see more post from your side in future.

Your post is incredibly fantastic with a lot of interestinginformation and impressive posting style. i have lots of question in my mind regarding gift packing design after reading this post lot’s of question clear on my mind.
Thanks for this post. I really like it. I am a big fan of CBD and using it since last 4 years. But sometime I am scar when I think Is i am addicted for CBD? But cbd make my mood fresh and get away the anxiety and depression. So, I think this is best for me. Again thanks for this blog. I always reading the blogs for Cbd. keep posting!
Well written and to the point. I appreciate the detail in this article!
I like how you mentioned that CBD oil is a safe alternative to painkillers and prescription drugs. My wife recently got injured in a car accident and she was wondering if there was another way to relieve her pain by not taking painkillers. I’ll let her know that CBD oil is a safe way to combat her pain.
Thanks for sharing this post and your experience. I’m using the CBD about 2 years and feeling myself great! It is my favourite health and nutritional suppliment.
Cheers,
Tim
You have cleared all the doubts about people confusing weed and Cbd products. After reading your blog i also want to try Cbd oil. Thanks for sharing your own experience with us.
I don’t use that brand, but I looove Charlotte’s Web and Cura Wellness vape pens. It’s helped loads with my chronic pain and anxiety. I too was floored by how amazing this stuff is. I just hope big pharm doesn’t try and take it away from us like they did with marijuana. Let’s keep it as natural as possible, peeps!
thank you for sharing! will look into this
Awesome way to explain about benefits of CBD oil. Very helpful blog.

It’s interesting to hear about your experience with CBD. I can’t believe it helped you after surgery with the inflammation. My daughter is having back surgery next week so maybe some CBD oil will really help her recover.
let us know if you two liked it!
CBD saved me it helps me for my anxiety thanks for sharing.

Great article. Thanks for sharing this interesting information. I also a CBD user and it works amazingly for my skin. CBD serum, creams and oil help to improve skin tone and gives a natural glow. It is very good for anti-aging and skin problems like acne and scars.

Great post. CBD before bed makes all the difference for me. I struggle to get to sleep because anxiety and CBD really quiets my mind so I fall asleep and rest.

Wondering if you still took this while pregnant?
That’s the big reason that I love CBD oil also.
yay !
Great article I started using CBD oil about a year ago after getting tired of doctors always upping my medications for chronic pain. As a transplant patient, I wanted something that could help my pain hat was natural. I did a lot of research on CBD and decided to try it and boy I am glad I did instead of medications going up they are now going down. looking forward to reading more from you.
Awesome Blog Post
I love this post. I take CBD every night as well and it has been an amazing addition to my nightly routine. Have you tried the CBD Sleeping Beauty Tincture by Lux CBD?
Hello, Thanks you for sharing your experience, i will definitely try this after buying.
