The Problem with Plants Over Pills

@justhighlo November 15, 2018 No Comments

I have a bone to pick with the cannabis industry, especially the influencers and educators. As we collectively work together to help end the stigma a lot of cannabis users face, it’s important not to transfer that stigma to other groups of people. Yet, every single day that I log in to my various social networks, I see at least one person touting the “plants over pills” rhetoric. I’m going to be blunt about this

Roadtrip Recap: Where We Went and What We Did

@justhighlo November 13, 2018 No Comments

There are a lot of shitty things about taking a road trip. It’s uncomfortable to be in the car for hours at a time, sometimes for several days. There is a lot of crappy, not-so-great-for-you-food because it’s kind of hard to travel with enough salad for three days in a cooler. Which leads to digestive issues. Then there’s sleeping in strange places. And not getting enough sleep because you want to hit the road early

The Ultimate Multi-day Road Trip Preparation Guide

@justhighlo October 31, 2018 No Comments

I don’t mean to brag but I’m kind of an expert road trip co-pilot. My husband and I make almost all of the trips we take together via car. Actually, of all the trips we’ve taken together, only one was not by car. He’s a bit fearful of flying, and I don’t really blame him. Road trips are long and boring and hard on your body. But they’re also fun and exciting and it’s a

How to Translate Your Cannabis Business to Instagram

@justhighlo September 18, 2018 No Comments

One struggle all businesses have, in the cannabis space or not, is trying to figure out how to visually translate their brand into an Instagram friendly format. As a cannabis or cannadjacent business, you have additional struggles with censorship, making it even more important for you to think outside the box when it comes to using Instagram to connect with potential customers and lovers of your product. In this article, I’m going to cover some

My CBD Experiment

@justhighlo September 13, 2018 No Comments

As you can probably deduce from the title of this article, I finally tried CBD for the first time ever. Before I get into my “experiment” and the results, I want to say that this will not be a scientific article by any means. It will be entirely full of anecdotes and how the different CBD products I used helped me out in my specific case. I also do not take any prescription medications on a

The Complete Guide to Content Batching

@justhighlo September 11, 2018 No Comments

I have a secret. I do not fret when it comes time to publish new blog posts. I can post two a week every week for at least the next 3 weeks. How can I be so confident, you’re probably wondering while maybe also hoping that I fail a little bit (it’s ok, I get it)? I do a little thing called content batching.  WTF is content batching? Well, content batching is pretty much what

Stigma Activewear Limited Run Sports Bra Review

@justhighlo September 7, 2018 No Comments

I love a good independent brand. So earlier this year when I stumbled upon Stigma Activewear, I literally couldn’t wait to lose enough weight to justify buying new workout gear. It’s hard to run when your leggings are exposing your very sweaty undies to the rest of the fitness center. It’s a great way to meet your neighbors. Since then, I’ve been pretty dedicated to their brand (they even made me a brand ambassador). So

How to Find a Job in Legal Cannabis

@justhighlo September 4, 2018 No Comments

Did you know that, while still a small percentage overall, the legal cannabis industry is one of the fastest growing industries in Colorado? It’s also an incredible industry for women, with 36% of company leadership roles being held by women (versus 22% across all other industries). That means there are a lot of opportunities for ladies who love weed and management. It’s still a pretty white industry, but there are organizations like Minorities for Medical

Why It’s Smart to Rent Your Clothes

@justhighlo August 30, 2018 No Comments

After losing over 40 pounds over the last year and change, I was in desperate need of an entirely new wardrobe. My closet was a shell of its former self as I had to give most of my clothes away. No point in keeping things that I don’t plan on wearing again. And if I do plan on wearing them again, I hope that it’s far enough in the future that it would all look

How to Choose Email Marketing Software

@justhighlo August 28, 2018 No Comments

After getting my Instagram account disabled recently (that is a story for another day), I have been even more focused on building my email list. There are a lot of great reasons to have a mailing list, but the most important one, quite frankly the only one that matters: you own that list. If every single one of your social networking sites went down tomorrow, could you still keep in touch with your followers? I
