Bluegrass Hemp Oil for the Holidays

Kentucky-made CBD products bring comfort to your holiday season!

 
 

Disclaimer: I was provided the featured BHO products in exchange for an honest review. These are products I do love and purchase frequently. As always, thank you to the brands that keep HerKentucky going!

Hey y’all! I’ve teamed up with Bluegrass Hemp Oil to share some of the ways that their CBD products can help make the holidays more comfortable for everyone in your family! Use code HERKY10 for 10% off your online order!

 
 

I first learned about Bluegrass Hemp Oil a few years ago, when I had a CBD oil massage at Griffin Gate Spa. After seeing very dramatic results of how high-quality hemp oil could reduce inflammation around my cervical disc injury, I was sold on the healing properties of CBD! I love that Bluegrass Hemp Oil is a local company, and one that is committed to the highest standards of quality.

Bluegrass Hemp Oil is a pioneer in Kentucky’s hemp business. Founded in 2014 by a family seeking relief for their young son’s seizure disorder, they follow the highest standards for hemp cultivation, extraction, and manufacturing. I’ve had the opportunity to try several of their products over the past couple of years, and I have to say that I am a huge fan.

BHO products alleviate inflammation, reduce anxiety, and promote a general feeling of well-being. I keep their Hush Roller on hand at all times — in my purse, my nightstand, and my desk — to stop headaches immediately. They make the best stocking stuffers! I also love the Unruffled Dog Treats for my dogs — they help ease inflammation in achy joints, and lessen the severity of anxiety from holiday travel, fireworks, or other unexpected circumstances. My dogs love the flavors of these treats, and I love the benefits they provide! Use code HERKY10 to receive 10% off your online purchase of Bluegrass Hemp Oil products; I hope they’ll bring even more comfort to your holidays!

The recipe I'm most frequently asked to share is for my homemade dog treats. They're full of pumpkin and peanut butter, and dogs go crazy for them!  I adapted the recipe from this one to make a double batch and amp up the pumpkin and PB goodness. This morning, I decided to bake a batch for my own dog, and to share with my friends' dogs. My friend Ashley just adopted a precious senior beagle from the Kentucky Humane Society (that story is coming soon!) and Cathy's Willie is recovering from severe leg injuries. Since our crazy dog lady crew has eight dogs among the three of us, it seemed like a great time to make a big batch of dog treats! Here's the recipe for you to print out for yourself! (Just make sure your friends' dogs can tolerate wheat! It's a pretty common allergy!)

It just happened that, as these treats were cooling this morning, my Draper JamesBe Kind, Y'all tote bag arrived, along with the #bekindyall challenge card. I love this idea: simple ways that you can make someone's day a little better. You'll notice that I may have edited my challenge just a bit! 

Pumpkin Peanut Butter Dog Treats

I have to say that this challenge has inspired me to find more ways to do small everyday things to be kind to others. I plan to use this tote to carry donations to the food bank donation bin at my local grocery store and dog toys to my humane society. I also plan to keep out some notecards to drop notes to friends more frequently. Thanks so much to Draper James for the important reminder to be kinder!

How do y'all plan to be kind today?
