Thanks for popping in for a quick catch-up over coffee today. I am in Chicago visiting my daughter for a few days so I will be enjoying my coffee Chi town style this morning. Grab your mug and join Coco and me. I’ve got lots to share.
Coffee Date from Chi Town
If we were having coffee, I would tell you…
I am excited to spend a few days here in Chicago with my favorite daughter. We have mom/daughter spa day set up for tomorrow and maybe some shopping. Usually, the rest of the family comes along too, but it is just the two of us this time. We are looking forward to lots of quality time together.
If we were having coffee, I would tell you…
I am excited to see Wendy and Linda this weekend too. Check our IG stories tomorrow to see what shenanigans we are up to in Chi Town. It has been 3 years since I have seen any of them in person (at the RnR race in 2018) and it will be great fun to catch up over coffee or maybe wine. I will also be running the Chicago Hot Chocolate 15K on Sunday with Linda and now Kim too!
Uncle Buds CBD Balm Mini Review
If we were having coffee, I would tell you…
Would you believe that I had never tried any type of CBD cream or product until now? My lower back has been bugging me off and on the past month. So, when I was offered a generous supply of Uncle Bud’s Balm, I decided it was time to check it out. To be honest, I had pretty low expectations but, I was wrong.
I am not one to take ibuprofen or Tylenol, so I was kind of intrigued to see if Uncle Bud’s could give me some relief. I figured if I was going to try it, I might as well go big with the strongest hemp oil balm available. The maximum strength CBD Body Revive Balm has 120mg of pure CBD oil.
I had no idea what to expect when rubbing it into my back. Instead of an immediate cooling or warming sensation, I felt more subtle but deeper muscle relief and relaxation. I have been rubbing some of this citrus smelling balm into my lower back for a week or so and I am happy to report it’s helping with the pain.
Count me surprised but happy to have found a topical option that can help. Want to try it for yourself? Use code IG20 for 20% off sitewide.
Thanks for jumping in to catch up over coffee in Chi Town. Stay tuned for more details in the weekly run down Sunday. Have a great weekend.
Have fun this weekend! Sounds like you’ll be wonderfully busy!
I’ve never tried CBD oil of any type either. Hum, perhaps I should…
I had never tried it either! I have to say, it really did help my back feel better. I am really excited for this weekend!
The CBD oil and salve that I use have been so effective for me, especially when I have pain due to RA. Glad you found one that you like!
So excited to see you tomorrow!
I was really surprised that it helped my back so much. Wish I had tried it sooner. Yes! can’t wait to see you
I have been having weird back pain off & on as well. I’m not a pain pill popper, either…maybe it’s time for me join the CBD party, huh 😉 Really excited to run Chicago with you!!
I wish I had brought it with me to let you try it! See you soon
Have fun this weekend! Looks like you’re going to have great weather. I’m bummed I could not make it down to see you. That CBD sounds good. I’ve had great results with CBD rubs as well.
Yes, disappointed I won’t see you this time! I will be back in the spring I am sure. Yes, I was pleasantly surprised that the CBD cream helped my lower back. I will be using it!
Enjoy your time with your daughter! It sounds like you have a great weekend lined up!
Interesting on the CBD cream. I know people swear by it.
Yes, a fun and busy weekend! I am really happy with how the cream helped soothe my back. Worth a try for sure
That is so exciting to be in a Chicago. It seems to have a lot of bloggers. I haven’t been in years. I would love to go and run a race.
Enjoy the hot chocolate race. I ran it in Brooklyn. It was so fun.
My pt used Cbd oil on my foot and it didn’t help. Sigh.
Yes I am excited to be here for a fun filled weekend!
Have so much fun this weekend! That photo of all of us in Chicago always makes me smile.
I’m definitely not a pain pill girl and have definitely found relief with CBD rubs. Glad you found one you like!
Apparently I am the last person to try it! Ha. Yes, will miss you in Chicago this weekend!
Glad the CBD oil is giving you relief. Bandit gets some for anxiety, LOL — it works! It has other health benefits for dogs, too.
Sounds like a very exciting weekend — how fun! Enjoy it all!
I had no idea that dogs used it as well!
Have fun in Chicago and enjoy the spa! I wish I could join you for drinks with Marcia and Wendy but… I have some business to take care of in NYC 😉 Give them hugs for me!
I will definitely catch you next time for another run! Have a great weekend in NYC
You’re in my home town!!! i’m expecting to see a lot of gray, gloomy pictures… ha ha- actually I’m hoping you get some good weather.
I’ve never tried CBD products but I’m very curious. We just found out we’re going to be offering a CBD massage enhancement at work, so I should get to try it out there!
Have a great time with your daughter!
I would love to hear your thoughts on it for massage as well. Yes, I am excited for a fun weekend here
Yay shenanigans! You’re going to have an amazing time. Have a great race and spa day.
I was just listening to a podcast that was talking, in part, about how CBD can be more helpful for so many things than we all realize. Like you, not one for pain meds as I’d rather soothe the exact sore spot, but I haven’t yet tried CBD.
Looking forward to a fun packed weekend. I was pleasantly surprised that the CBD cream helped my back so much. I will continue to use it for sure
A beautiful busy week end. Enjoy the time with your daughter and the blogger friends.
Good luck on the race!
thanks so much!
