#3: Botanika Life: Cure your pain with this salve

As a runner, I definitely needed something to help heal my achy and sore muscles after my runs. Luckily for me, there's Botanika Life CBD Salve. I like to soak in a warm bath and then rub my muscles after with the salve to reduce aches and pains.

Hope you’re doing well—but even better than well is GREAT, and that’s what we’re after. I loved reading your articles on your interest in medical marijuana and I was curious to see if you have gotten the chance to try aid in CBD.

Botanika Life is changing the face of CBD by using pure CBD isolate with a dynamic collection of all-natural, THC-free CBD products—topical and for consumption—that are non-habit forming, non-psychoactive and perfectly safe for all members of the family. Our CBD products are accessible, dynamic and optimal for daily routines. Each product is FDA and DSHEA compliant, made with the highest quality formulation and designed for complete balance of body and mind.

#4. STAYING HEALTHY: YOUR LOOKS REFLECT WELLBEING
We all need a little help to improve our natural beauty and make our look pop. However, it’s very easy to forget that your natural appearance is strongly linked to your wellness. Learning to pay added focus to my health was one of the best things I ever did. You should rediscover it too!

Ultimately, we all have different lifestyles and situations. As such, you will need to find a routine that suits your circumstances. This handy tutorial should provide some useful advice:

Be sure not to overlook key factors that will significantly impact your health. As well as your lifestyle, you should think about the home surroundings. Thrips and other pests have the ability to cause illness, which will leave you drained. Moreover, their bites will cause major skin irritations that will undo a lot of the good work from a healthy lifestyle. Preventing this issue at all costs is key.

Improved beauty isn’t the only reward for adopting healthier habits, but it should not be ignored either. Embrace it.
