Welcome to LifeLaurels

Bringing you the Best of Life: Pop Culture, Things We Like, Frugal Finds, Random Musings, Product Reviews, Movies and TV, and Words to Live By.

Welcome to our site! LifeLaurels is a lifestyle blog that aims to bring you the BEST of Life. We share all sorts of good finds, in the area of entertainment, pop culture, and living your best life. We'll write about stuff we watch, stuff we buy, stuff we covet, and stuff we enjoy. If it deserves Laurels, we'll talk about it here.

A laurel is a type of evergreen plant that was traditionally used to weave wreaths and crowns that were symbols of victory in Ancient Greece. Today, laurel is synonymous with achievement, and is used to denote honor or distinction. It is also the first name of this site's founder. Thus, instead of using stars, we rate in terms of laurels, with 5 laurels indicating something is fantastic, and one laurel meaning we did not like it so much.

We also have a Facebook Page where we share a LOT of motivating words and fun memes. And because everyone loves winning, we'll share links to contests and sweepstakes, where you can win fun prizes.

All About CBD and Where to Buy It

CBD: What it Is, What It Does,
and From Whom to Purchase It

Also Reviewing CBDMall

LifeLaurels' Preferred Vendor for All Things CBD



Rating: 5 Laurels



I am a Chronic Pain Person. I choose NOT to use opiates as a part of my pain management strategy. Opiates have a slew of negative side effects, especially after long-term use. I prefer more natural remedies to help me manage my pain. For me, CBD is an essential part of  pain management.

CBD is derived from Hemp, rather than marijuana. It is legal Federally, as well as in most States, thanks to the Hemp Farming Act of 2018.  The Agriculture Improvement Act of 2018 (2018 Hemp Farming Bill) authorized the production of hemp and removed hemp and hemp seeds from the Drug Enforcement Administration's (DEA) schedule of Controlled Substances.  Thus, it is legal in states where traditional weed is not. Additionally, hemp contains all of the pain management benefits of marijuana, and is available in varieties that do not cause any psychoactive side effects. There are also varieties that will give you the buzz.

When CBD first became widely available, I was excited to try it.  I experimented with various brands, and definitely found that some brands are more effective than others. I also found that prices varied widely, even for the exact same products. I continue to try new brands and new vendors, but I keep coming back to CBDMall. They carry the brands I like at the best prices I have found so far. Their Free Shipping threshold is low enough that I reach it without a problem when I place my monthly order. CBDMall also  runs sales very frequently, which helps me save even more.
