Hey there! Can you believe how much the CBD world has exploded since we first chatted about it? What started as a few niche products has turned into a full-blown wellness revolution—with everything from CBD-infused pillows to pet treats hitting the market. Exciting? Absolutely. Overwhelming? You bet.

After a year of testing, researching, and chatting with experts, I’ve sorted through the hype to bring you the real deal on what’s worth your time (and money). Plus, I scored an exclusive interview with Cindy Capobianco, Co-Founder of cult-favorite brand Lord Jones, to answer all your burning CBD questions—including how to work it into your beauty routine for next-level glow.

Navigating the CBD Boom: What Actually Works?

1. Start with the Source

Not all CBD is created equal. Here’s what to look for:
✔ Full-spectrum or broad-spectrum (for the “entourage effect”)
✔ Third-party lab tested (always check those COAs!)
✔ US-grown, organic hemp (no sketchy additives, please)

Pro Tip: If a brand doesn’t openly share its lab results? Swipe left.

2. My Current CBD Obsessions

After testing way too many tinctures, gummies, and topicals, these are the standouts:

For Deep Relaxation

• Lord Jones High-Potency CBD Tincture (the OG that never disappoints)
• Cornbread Hemp Full-Spectrum Gummies (perfect for winding down)

For Beauty & Glow

• Saint Jane Luxury Beauty Serum (CBD + rose damascena = radiant skin)
• Kana Skincare Sleeping Mask (wake up with a dewy complexion)

For On-the-Go Relief

• Vertly CBD-Infused Lip Balm (chapped lips, meet your match)
• Coola CBD Sun Silk Drops (SPF + CBD for happy skin)

CBD Q&A with Lord Jones Co-Founder Cindy Capobianco

I sat down with Cindy to get the inside scoop on CBD myths, must-tries, and how to make it part of your daily routine.

Q: What’s the biggest misconception about CBD?

“That it’s a magic cure-all. CBD works best as part of a holistic routine—think of it like a supplement, not a quick fix.”

Q: How do you incorporate CBD into your beauty regimen?

*”I layer our CBD body lotion with a few drops of tincture mixed into my nighttime moisturizer. The combo is *chef’s kiss* for glowing skin.”*

Q: What’s your #1 tip for CBD newbies?

“Start low and go slow. 10mg is a great beginner dose—you can always adjust from there.”

How to Elevate Your Routine with CBD

Morning:

• Add a dropper of CBD tincture to your smoothie for calm focus.
• Swap your regular face oil for a CBD-infused one (bye-bye, redness).

Night:

• Massage CBD lotion onto tense shoulders (especially if you’ve been glued to your laptop).
• Pop a CBD gummy 30 mins before bed—hello, deeper sleep.

Pro Move:

Keep a CBD balm in your bag for quick stress relief (just dab a little on your wrists and breathe).

Final Thoughts

The CBD space may be crowded, but the best products truly deliver—whether you’re looking to relax, recover, or just glow up a little more. And remember: Consistency is key. Give it a few weeks, and you’ll likely notice the subtle but game-changing effects.
