Get outside! It’s already summer here in sunny Tampa, Florida and we’re headed outside for some vitamin D and a boost of serotonin. Spending time outdoors can be good for physical and mental health. Combining the awesome benefits of CBD with nature is an effective way to help relieve everyday stress. 

Why is CBD Good for Outdoor Activities? 

Outdoor activities usually involve some type of physical movement. Whether that simply be walking or riding a bike, or something more physically intense like jet skiing and kayaking, you are bound to experience some soreness or tension in your body afterward. CBD is known for its therapeutic effects. It may help with exercise related inflammation and soreness in the body, making it the perfect addition to your outdoor activity aftercare. Our CBD lotion and roll-on will loosen your muscles and help your body decompress after a long day of activities. CBD lotions and creams:

  • Target muscles and sore areas 
  • Made with menthol for a cooling sensation 
  • Provide instant relief 

Recommendation: Try a nice hot shower followed by some Chillax’n CBD Roll-On after your outdoor activities.

Many people like to spend time in nature because of the calming effects. There’s nothing quite like the sunshine on your face, the wind on your skin and the smell of the outdoors! Why not turn the chill vibes up a notch with CBD? Chillax’n CBD shots and Beverage Enhancers are the perfect size to put in your pocket or bag while you enjoy the outdoors. CBD wellness drinks help you:

  • Feel calm and relaxed 
  • Increase mood 
  • Live in the moment 

Recommendation: Add some Lemon-Lime or Cherry Beverage Enhancer to your water bottle before heading out on your activity.
