Living amongst the novel coronavirus for the last 12 months has taught us a lot of things, but particularly the importance of a strong immune system. As many of us await our turn to get the vaccine, we remain hyper-aware of the germs and viruses among us, and how to protect ourselves from them.  We definitely need our bodies' defenses to be as strong as possible, but how can this be done?

This installment of Flourish + Learn will dive  into what exactly it means to “boost our immune systems”, if it's even possible, and how CBD fits into the equation.

March 14th marked yet another Daylight Saving Time, where we spring forward into warmth and renewal. However, this spring reset also comes with losing an hour of sleep. An hour of lost sleep doesn't seem like much, but this change in daily pattern throws off our circadian rhythm, or internal clock, and can have severe health impacts. 

In honor of Women’s History Month and International Women's Day, we are celebrating the female founders within the CBD industry bringing a new vision to wellness.

We are excited to bring you the second installment of our blog partnership series, Flourish + Learn, in partnership with Soji Health. 

This monthly blog series explores the science behind wellness and CBD. Through these posts, we offer scientifically backed wellness tips and lessons to help you live your best life, while also learning important definitions, ideas, and information to help you navigate the CBD and wellness industry. 

Both Soji Health and F+LW are invested in harnessing the benefits of plants to help our minds and bodies. By teaming up, we are excited to combine our respective expertise and values to make CBD and natural healing more approachable, accessible, and understood.

For many snow enthusiasts, ski week is a time of great fun and excitement, but also great pain- from sore muscles to bruised bums. Skiing and snowboarding are some of winter's favorite activities, and as the season approaches, the preparation starts. Whether you are adding new skis, poles or bindings to your arsenal, perhaps you should consider adding CBD to the mix too.

Winter sports and activities, especially skiing and snowboarding, can take a toll on the body. Whether it’s just over worked muscles or a bruise or twist from a fall, the day following your mountain adventure could be a pretty sore one. CBD has been shown to have anti-inflammatory properties that can help with pain management and reduction. Having CBD ready-to-go in your winter coat pocket could be a life-saver for getting you back on the slopes. 

Whether you're brand new and facing your first bunny slope, or you are carving through fresh powder on a black diamond run, below are a few products to help you feel your best on the slopes:

The winter blues are more common than you probably think. Even in more mild climates, like in California, getting less mood-boosting sunlight can have dramatic effects on our moo and outlook.

Wellness has been difficult to maintain in 2020, to say the least. With the rise of COVID-19, raging wildfires, the election, and regional lockdowns, our focus seemed to shift from wellness to mere survival. We redirected our focus from skincare to sanitation, working out to working from home, and from zen to Zoom. In the midst of all of this, our mental and physical wellness was left in disarray. 

2021 is an opportunity to reclaim our physical, emotional, and spiritual wellbeing as we identify new ways to take care of ourselves and those around us. Here are a few of our favorite wellness trends for the new year:

Like most things in 2020, the holidays are a bit different than usual. Whether you are digitally celebrating with family over Zoom or navigating Covid-era Christmas shopping, this season will likely have more stressors than usual. 

With the holidays right around the corner, it’s time to start thinking about holiday shopping! We have teamed up with Main Street Oceanside and their Shop Local program for this very unique holiday season. 

Shop Local Oceanside is a partnership between Main Street Oceanside and City of Oceanside Economic Development to safely support our Downtown Oceanside businesses during the COVID-19 pandemic. The program will run from Friday, November 20 to Sunday, December 20, 2020, and encourages the local community to shop at local businesses in store and online. There will be a digital coupon book, in-store socially distanced shopping events, social media contests and a holiday window decorating contest. Be sure to follow us on Instagram to stay up-to-date with our offers and events!

Today, November 11,  marks our one year anniversary of being in business. Last November, we had no idea what the next 12 months would bring. We knew it would have its challenges, but we certainly were not expecting a global pandemic, 9 month lockdown, or national toilet paper shortage. 

But despite everything that has happened, we are ultimately so grateful for and proud of our first year in business. We have achieved successful milestones, developed new partnerships, grew our inventory with great new products, engaged in our community, and continue to make an impact through charitable donations and fundraising. Here is a deeper look into everything Flourish + Live Well has accomplished in our first year:

To celebrate our one year anniversary, we are giving away a Canna River gift pack! One lucky winner will be able to experience the high quality CBD that have earned Canna River its reputation. The prize includes a full sized Canna River Full or Broad Spectrum Tincture, Canna River Recovery Balm, and a special Canna River tee!

Now that the days are getting shorter and a pandemic and election still in our midst, it's easy to feel overwhelmed and worn out during the day. However, we have learned to never underestimate the power of stretching our bodies to relieve anxiety and stress. When energy is waning and stress is rising, it’s pretty incredible how a little deep breathing and muscle movement can completely reinvent your mood, energy, and outlook. 

Below are a few stretches that can be done when you need a quick pick me up.  They don’t require any special clothing, equipment, or training – just a willingness to take a break and recharge.

With the election nearly one week away, you may find yourself feeling more anxious than usual. The seemingly endless stream of news, debates, polls, and even ads and videos you’re seeing online is enough to stress anyone out. If you’re experiencing election anxiety this month and finding it difficult to stay positive, here are a few ideas to help you stay relaxed and calm when anxiety strikes.
