										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This article was originally published on Tribe CBD. To view the original article and recipe, <a href="http://www.tribecbd.com/?p=25425">click here</a>.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><a href="https://www.thekitchn.com/celery-juice-266568">Celery juice </a>may be all the rage on social media, but let’s not forget about another glorious green drink: cucumber juice! Jam-packed with antioxidants, cucumbers are a fantastic addition to any salad, beauty routine, or beverage. Indeed, since cucumbers have such a high-water content, they can help you stave off dehydration.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>If you’re someone who struggles to chug enough bottles of boring old water, then you’ve got to check out this easy-peasy cucumber juice recipe. Best of all, you don’t need a fancy juicer to make this hydration booster.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Oh yeah, we’re also going to add a touch of our <a href="https://www.tribecbd.com/cbd-oil/">citrus-flavored CBD oil</a> to this refreshing drink. The extra pinch of orange extract in our <a href="https://www.tribecbd.com/cbd-oil/">high-quality CBD oil</a> will add just the right amount of flavor to keep you craving more!</p>
<p> 
</p>
<h2><strong>CBD Cucumber Juice Recipe  </strong></h2>
<p> </p>
<p>Here’s a scary statistic: roughly <a href="https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/nearly-80-percent-of-working-americans-say-they-dont-drink-enough-water-quench-survey-300668537.html">75 percent of Americans</a> aren’t well-hydrated. Not only are we not getting enough water every day, many of us are drinking way too many dehydrating beverages like coffee, alcohol, and soda.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>While all of these drinks are OK in moderation, chances are you could add a few hydrating fruits and veggies into your diet. Along with trying this cucumber juice recipe, here are a few easy suggestions to help you sneak some hydration into your workday:</p>
<p> </p>
<ul>
<li>Spice up your dull water bottle with grated ginger</li>
<li>Swap out spaghetti for ultra-hydrating zoodles</li>
<li>Add more fresh berries to your breakfast routine</li>
<li>See if your supermarket has fresh watermelon or 100 percent natural watermelon juice</li>
</ul>
<p> </p>

<p> </p>
<p><strong>Ingredients </strong></p>
<p> </p>
<ul>
<li>1 medium-sized cucumber</li>
<li>1 cup of purified water</li>
<li>1 tablespoon lemon juice</li>
<li>2 – 4 sprigs of mint</li>
<li>1 dropperful <a href="https://www.tribecbd.com/cbd-oil/">Tribe CBD oil</a></li>
</ul>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>Directions </strong></p>
<p> </p>
<ul>
<li>Cut the ends off your cucumber, peel the skin, and chop into chunks</li>
<li>Add cucumber, water, lemon juice, and a few mint sprigs to a blender</li>
<li>Blend until the mix reaches a smooth consistency</li>
<li>Pour the cucumber mix through a fine-mesh strainer and push the juice into a glass</li>
<li>Throw away the excess cucumber pulp</li>
<li>Garnish with <a href="https://www.tribecbd.com/cbd-oil/">Tribe CBD oil</a></li>
</ul>
<p> </p>
<p>We know this drink is supposed to be healthy…but that doesn’t mean you can’t add a touch of vodka for brunch! Indeed, there are plenty of delicious, flavored vodkas that would go great with this drink. We’d recommend trying a berry or citrus-infused vodka to give this drink an extra pop.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>For those who’d like to keep this drink alcohol-free, consider throwing a few fresh berries, ginger, or coconut water into the mix. Plus, you could add a spritz of seltzer before serving to give this drink some fizz.</p>
<p> </p>
<h2><strong>Add CBD Sleep Shot To Your Healthy Routine </strong></h2>
<p> </p>
<p>Not only are Americans dehydrated, but they’re also sleep-deprived! Interestingly, <a href="https://www.sleepassociation.org/sleep-treatments/cbd/#:~:text=Overall%2C%20there%20is%20scientific%20research,you%20get%20more%20quality%20sleep.">new data</a> suggests CBD might help naturally settle our nerves before bedtime. In fact, many people first get interested in CBD to help improve sleep quality.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>If you’re one of the many people who wants a more restful sleep, we’d recommend trying Tribe’s CBD Sleep Shots. Made with a blend of CBD, melatonin, and soothing herbs, this berry-flavored blend will help you relax before bed.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="https://www.closerweekly.com/tags/kelly-ripa-10793/"><strong>Kelly Ripa</strong></a> and <a href="https://www.closerweekly.com/tags/mark-consuelos-19350/"><strong>Mark Consuelos</strong></a> feel like the luckiest parents in the world to have their three kids in their lives. Together, the Hollywood couple is the mom and dad of their children, Michael, Lola and Joaquin. Kelly and Mark are always showcasing their love for their youngsters with photos on social media.</p>
<p>The longtime lovebirds, who married in 1996, started their family when their eldest child, Michael, arrived the following year in June 1997. Kelly and Mark’s second kiddo, Lola, arrived in June 2001, followed by their youngest, Joaquin, in February 2003.</p>

<p>“Here’s to hoping this next go around is better than the year that shall remain nameless,” she captioned her post in January, referring to the coronavirus pandemic. “With love and best wishes from our family to yours.”</p>
<p>Also in her caption, Kelly made note that “these” photos she posted “were Lola-approved.” The <a href="https://www.closerweekly.com/posts/susan-lucci-all-my-children-reboot-125569/"><em>All My Children</em></a> alum joked about getting the all-clear from her daughter after previously revealing Lola wouldn’t allow her to post photos of her on social media.</p>
<p>“It’s so bizarre. I’m never allowed to post a photo of her — ever … why did I have these kids if not to exploit them on social media?” Kelly hilariously shared during a visit on <a href="https://www.closerweekly.com/tags/the-tonight-show-18376/"><em>The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon</em></a> in 2017. “I was like, ‘You know what? She can’t get mad at an eight-year-old photo.'”</p>

<p>Fortunately, that isn’t the case now that Lola is older, and the brunette beauty often appears on Kelly’s page. In September 2020, she <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CFlZtnRj-PR/">uploaded a stunning photo</a> of her green-eyed girl posing in the sunlight. “Happy National Daughter Day to this powerhouse,” Kelly penned. “Thank you for choosing me to be your mom.”</p>
<p>The former Hope and Faith actress also shared the sweetest snap of her boys in honor of National Son Day that same month. “National Sons Day it is!” she <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CFtE9g_jetJ/">captioned the pic</a> of Michael and Joaquin smiling at Disneyland.</p>

<p>The purchase of their new home comes nearly a year after the duo — who married in 1998 and share kids <a href="https://www.closerweekly.com/posts/presley-gerber-kaia-gerber-tattoo-154151/"><strong>Presley Gerber</strong></a> and <a href="https://www.closerweekly.com/tags/kaia-gerber-20201/"><strong>Kaia Gerber</strong></a> — lost out on the sale of <a href="https://www.closerweekly.com/posts/cindy-crawford-and-rande-gerber-list-malibu-mansion-for-7-5-million/">their longtime Malibu home</a> in April 2020. At the time, <a href="https://www.tmz.com/2020/04/01/cindy-crawford-rande-gerber-let-homebuyer-out-of-contract-coronavirus/"><em>TMZ</em></a> reported Cindy and Rande gave up a $6.5 million deal after a couple from Europe asked to cancel the sale due to the COVID-19 pandemic and travel restrictions.</p>
<p>Because the sale fell through, the lovebirds continue to own the beachfront residence, but the Spanish-style property is still on the market today. Cindy and Rande first purchased the 2,400-square-feet abode, which features four bedrooms and two-and-a-half baths, back in 2004.</p>

<p>In addition to their Malibu home, the former <em>House of Style</em> host and her handsome hubby own a lake cottage in Toronto, Canada, as well as a massive mansion in Beverly Hills. According to Cindy, they also intend to build another home “in the desert” at some point down the road.</p>
<p>“We bought property. We have the plans, but we haven’t broken ground yet. I don’t know why,” she told <a href="https://www.architecturaldigest.com/story/cindy-crawford-interview-three-homes"><em>Architectural Digest</em></a> in April 2019. “We’ve never spent that much time out there, so we don’t know if we’d be there enough, but I love the desert. You get that indoor-outdoor living like you do in L.A. The powerful beauty of the mountains is always there, and it’s a different kind of feeling.”</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Aside from <a href="https://www.closerweekly.com/tags/diana-ross-21476/"><strong>Diana Ross</strong></a>‘ iconic career as a singer and actress, the legendary performer is known for being the matriarch of one of Hollywood’s biggest families. Not only is she the loving mom of her five kids — <strong>Rhonda Ross</strong>, <strong>Chudney Ross</strong>, <a href="https://www.closerweekly.com/tags/tracee-ellis-ross/"><strong>Tracee Ellis Ross</strong></a>, <strong>Ross Naess</strong> and <strong>Evan Ross</strong> — but she’s the doting grandma to her ever-growing brood of grandchildren.</p>
<p>Considering her kiddos are older now, the “I’m Coming Out” songstress couldn’t be happier to transition into her role as a grandmother. As of late 2020, Diana has eight beautiful grandkids, including Bronx, Raif, Callaway, Jagger, Lief, Indigo, Everlee and Ziggy.</p>

The <em>Mahogany</em> star’s eldest daughter, Rhonda, once gave fans a glimpse inside her mother’s role as a grandparent.</p>
<p>“She’s a great grandmother,” the <em>Personals</em> actress — who shares Raif with husband <strong>Rodney Kendrick</strong> — told <a href="https://people.com/music/diana-ross-is-a-loving-and-generous-grandma-to-rhonda-ross-10-year-old-son/"><em>People</em></a> in February 2020. “She’s not really a spoiler, [but] she’s not really strict, either.

<p>Rhonda also pointed out how the former <a href="https://www.closerweekly.com/posts/supremes-diva-mary-wilson-invites-us-into-her-las-vegas-home-17-foot-closet-39288/">Supremes lead singer</a> is just as witty and sharp when it comes to raising her youngest generation. “You can’t get anything past her … she’s got her eye on the ball,” Rhonda continued. “But at the same time, she’s so loving and so generous.”</p>
<p>It seems Rhonda inherited her mom’s love for parenthood as she told the outlet she took a years-long Hollywood hiatus to focus on being a mother. “I pulled away from acting so I could sow into my child,” she gushed. “So I could give [Raif] everything.”</p>

<p>Although it appears Diana has no plans on slowing down in her career, her kids are certain she’ll continue to balance her hectic Hollywood schedule with her life as a mom and grandma. The <em>Out of Darkness</em> actress’ daughter Tracee — who has yet to have any children of her own — once praised Diana for raising her kids to the best of her ability.</p>
<p>“I felt like I grew up in her embrace, not her shadow,” the <em>Black-ish</em> actress told <a href="https://www.ellecanada.com/culture/celebrity/tracee-ellis-ross-elle-canada-interview"><em>Elle Canada</em></a> in July 2018. “And that is a testament to her. [Her children] were always more important than fame.”</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="https://www.closerweekly.com/tags/tina-turner-22896/"><strong>Tina Turner</strong></a>‘s ex-husband, Ike Turner, can take some credit for introducing the icon to the world of music, but when it comes to their marriage, the ex-couple’s relationship was anything but glitz and glamour. The “What’s Love Got to Do With It” artist and the late musician shared an extremely tumultuous romance over the course of nearly two decades.</p>
<p>Tina and Ike’s relationship history dates back to the 1950s. The performing pair met in 1956 at Club Manhattan in Tennessee. According to <a href="https://www.biography.com/news/tina-turner-ike-relationship">Biography.com</a>, their bond was formed when the songstress performed B.B. King’s “You Know I Love You.” Ike, who was a member of the Kings of Rhythm, embraced the beauty’s powerful voice and, eventually, they formed Ike and Tina Turner Revue in 1957.</p>

<p>Despite their budding bond, in 1958, Tina welcomed her first child alongside Kings of Rhythm saxophonist Raymond Hill. The duo, however, called it quits shortly after, and by 1960, she became romantically involved with Ike. That same year, Tina expanded her family when she gave birth to her and Ike’s first and only son together, Ronnie.</p>
<p>Two years later, the <a href="https://www.closerweekly.com/posts/check-out-jennifer-lopez-madonna-and-7-more-fashion-risk-takers-at-past-grammys-51145/">Grammy</a> winner and Ike married in Tijuana, Mexico. Not long after, she adopted the “River Deep Mountain High” crooner’s older children, <strong>Ike Turner Jr</strong>. and <strong>Michael Turner</strong>, whom he welcomed during his previous relationship with Lorraine Taylor.</p>

<p>Things started going downhill from there, though. Throughout their marriage, <a href="https://www.closerweekly.com/posts/tina-turner-abusive-marriage-130468/">Tina said Ike physically and sexually abused her</a>. In her 2018 memoir <a href="https://www.amazon.com/My-Love-Story-Tina-Turner/dp/1501198246"><em>My Love Story</em></a>, Tina recounted the years of emotional abuse and specifically pointed out the time Ike told her to change her birth name from Anna Mae Bullock to Tina Turner.</p>
<p>“I said I didn’t want to change my name,” she wrote in the book, according to <a href="https://www.wmagazine.com/story/tina-turner-reveals-suicide-attempt-memoir"><em>W</em> Magazine</a>. “First, he was verbally abusive. Then, he picked up a wooden shoe stretcher. Ike knew what he was doing. If you play guitar, you never use your fists in a fight. He used the shoe stretcher to strike me in the head — always the head.”</p>

<p>Tina said the abuse was so traumatic, she even tried to take her own life in 1968. As she penned in her memoir, the “We Don’t Need Another Hero” musician took an entire bottle of sleeping pills in an attempt to commit suicide. “I was unhappy when I woke up,” Tina candidly wrote. “But I came out of the darkness believing I was meant to survive.”</p>
<p>Tina eventually filed for divorce, citing irreconcilable differences as the reason, in July 1976. The exes’ divorce was finalized two years later in 1978. Fortunately, she found love with <a href="https://www.closerweekly.com/posts/tina-turners-husband-erwin-bach-meet-the-music-executive/"><strong>Erwin Bach</strong></a> in the 1990s, and the couple — who married in 2013 — has been living a life of wedded bliss ever since. “After all the chaos, <a href="https://www.closerweekly.com/posts/tina-turner-abusive-marriage-130468/">she’s made the life</a> she’s always dreamed of,” a friend of Tina’s told <em>Closer Weekly</em> in 2017.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="https://www.closerweekly.com/tags/halle-berry-10849/"><strong>Halle Berry</strong></a> is happier than ever thanks to her boyfriend, <a href="https://www.closerweekly.com/posts/halle-berry-is-happier-than-ever-with-her-boyfriend-and-kids/"><strong>Van Hunt</strong></a>! The legendary actress has been off the market since summer 2020, and the big smile on her face is all thanks to the “Seconds of Pleasure” artist.</p>
<p>Despite being an item for some time now, it took Halle months to finally reveal the identity of her lover. The <em>Extant</em> actress <a href="https://www.closerweekly.com/posts/does-halle-berry-have-a-new-boyfriend-actress-sparks-dating-rumors/">first hinted that she has a boyfriend</a> when she <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CC2E_qTDX2b/">posted a pic</a> of their feet while cuddling in a daybed in July 2020.</p>

<p>Two months later in September, Halle confirmed their relationship when she uploaded a snapshot posing in a T-shirt that read “Van Hunt” across the chest. “Now ya know,” she <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CFP6uTmpL-y/">captioned the post via Instagram</a>.</p>
<p>Since then, the <em>Monster’s Ball</em> star hasn’t held back from flaunting their love story on social media. While celebrating Valentine’s Day in February, Halle shared <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CLSGB6Pjkyr/">a touching tribute</a> for her man. Alongside a series of pics of the lovebirds wearing matching heart-patterned pajamas, the <em>Catwoman</em> actress — who was previously married three times — uploaded an inspiring message of why you should “never give up” on finding true love.</p>

<p>“To all the Valentines who may be struggling to get it right … I feel you, but never give up and NEVER SETTLE for less than what makes your heart sing!” Halle penned. “No matter what they say or what they call you. No matter how many times you try, it’s always worth it. If you desire love, you will find your match, your equal … your person … even if it takes you until you’re 54!”</p>
<p>The <a href="https://www.closerweekly.com/tags/academy-awards-20822/">Oscar</a> winner proved they are still going strong when she honored her beau’s birthday in March. Halle shared <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CMKlo37jvd-/">a snapshot and a few videos</a> of the pair, writing, “A real woman can do it all by herself, but a real MAN won’t let her. Happy birthday, VanO. I only wish I’d known you sooner so I could have loved you longer!”</p>

<p>There’s no doubt Halle feels like the luckiest lady to have found love with the “Down Here in Hell” crooner, but looking back, she never imagined she would be in this position. After failed marriages with exes <strong>David Justice</strong> (1993–1997), <strong>Eric Benét</strong> (2001–2005) and <a href="https://www.closerweekly.com/tags/olivier-martinez-22247/"><strong>Olivier Martinez</strong></a> (2013–2016), Halle said <a href="https://www.closerweekly.com/posts/halle-berry-says-being-a-single-mom-of-her-2-kids-is-so-great/">she was content with giving all of her time to her two kids</a>, <a href="https://www.closerweekly.com/posts/halle-berrys-best-quotes-on-parenting-kids-nahla-and-maceo/">Nahla Aubry</a> — whom she shares with ex <strong>Gabriel Aubry</strong> — and <a href="https://www.closerweekly.com/posts/halle-berry-shares-rare-video-of-daughter-nahla-and-son-maceo-watch/">Maceo Martinez</a> — whom she shares with Olivier.</p>
<p>Van is also counting his blessings after falling in love with the <em>Kidnap</em> actress. The “Dust” artist credited Halle with improving “every aspect of [his] life” while chatting with <a href="https://www.etonline.com/van-hunt-says-girlfriend-halle-berry-is-his-muse-in-everything-i-do-exclusive-162837"><em>Entertainment Tonight</em></a> in late March.</p>
<p>“I’m a completely different person,” he marveled to the outlet. “The inspiration for our relationship goes across everything, even in my parenting. I could show you rather than I could tell you, and I will show you really soon [with my new music], I promise.”</p>

<p>“We were going to have two children and it was a surprise. I didn’t find out I was pregnant till I was about five-and-a-half months pregnant. I didn’t have any symptoms, I didn’t have anything indicating that I was pregnant,” she told the outlet. “One day I just, I felt something move in my body and I said, ‘Nick, there’s something not right. I think I need to go to the doctor. Something’s wrong with me.’ I was not supposed to be able to have any more children, so I never assumed that I was pregnant.”</p>
<p>Considering Nick loves fatherhood so much, he said he’s thrilled about the new addition. “I have always wanted to love somebody, someone unconditionally and give everything to those people, my wife, my kids … and be selfless,” he gushed. “Now that I have it, yes, I am living my dream and I am very grateful for that and very blessed.”</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="https://www.closerweekly.com/tags/celine-dion-18684/"><strong>Celine Dion</strong></a> can’t imagine what life would be like without her three sons. The “My Heart Will Go On” songstress is dedicated to her legendary music career, but nothing fills Celine with joy like being around her beloved <a href="https://www.closerweekly.com/posts/celine-dion-jokes-about-her-3-sons-dating-already-happening/">kids, René-Charles, Nelson and Eddy</a>.</p>
<p>The Canadian singer shares her boys with her late husband, <a href="https://www.closerweekly.com/tags/rene-angelil-24774/">René Angélil</a>, whom she married in 1994. The couple welcomed their eldest son, René-Charles, in January 2001, followed by the births of their twins, Nelson and Eddy, nearly 10 years later in October 2010.</p>

<p>Celine was over the moon when she first experienced parenthood, but the road to becoming a mom was anything but easy. After announcing a break from singing to focus on starting her family in early 2000, the “Power of Love” performer consulted numerous doctors to get pregnant.</p>
<p>When nothing seemed to work, Celine and René tried in-vitro fertilization. The “It’s All Coming Back to Me Now” crooner finally conceived through one of their IVF procedures in May 2000. At the time, Celine marveled over the pregnancy during an interview on a Canadian television show, saying she felt “emotionally fulfilled,” according to <a href="https://edition.cnn.com/2001/SHOWBIZ/Music/01/25/dion.birth/"><em>CNN</em></a>.</p>

<p>Celine’s happiness skyrocketed even more when she held her first baby in her arms. Shortly before undergoing her sixth round of IVF in early 2010, which resulted in her pregnancy with Nelson and Eddy, Celine called motherhood the most “challenging and rewarding job” she ever had.</p>
<p>“I think we are very blessed to have the opportunity and a blessing to be a mother,” she told <a href="https://abcnews.go.com/GMA/Entertainment/celine-dion-speaks-family-children-career-good-morning-america/story?id=9869555">ABC News</a>. “I think when you are — when you have a child, it’s like there’s another heart that grows inside of you. You have this like a second heart.”</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This article was originally published on Blue Ribbon Hemp. To view the original article, <a href="http://blueribbonhemp.com/blog/cannabidiol-for-sleep-improve-your-slumber-with-cbd/">click here</a>.</p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p>Finding a good night’s sleep is something we all seek to accomplish. Insomnia is one of the most common sleep disorders in the world, and it impacts certain age groups different. One of the most highly impacted: senior citizens. In fact, up to 48% of older adults suffer from symptoms of insomnia according to the Journal of Clinical Sleep Medicine. Insomnia and restlessness can come in a variety of forms, from not being able to fall asleep, waking constantly or being unable to fall back asleep. So, is there something seniors can do to help aid in a good night’s sleep? Say hello to CBD.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>What is Cannabidiol?</strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p>CBD is short for cannabidiol, a chemical compound found in cannabis and hemp plants. It is a naturally occurring compound that can be used in products like oils and tinctures, edibles and gummies, capsules, lotions and salves. <a href="https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/09/190930131115.htm">Unlike its possibly better known cousin THC, the major active ingredient in marijuana, CBD is not psychoactive</a>. While CBD is an essential component in medical marijuana which can similarly aid in sleep, it is derived from a hemp plant. This means CBD is a component of marijuana, but it alone does not get you high.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The cannabis plant is made up of the two major players, THC and CBD, with the latter being the non-psychoactive portion of the plant. Cannabidiol can be isolated from the cannabis plant and the THC compound. CBD does not have a “euphoria effect” but it is believed to have wide ranging health benefits. For this reason, CBD has become more attractive to some people as a treatment for sleep as well as other conditions without any of the psychoactive effects of its counterpart THC.</p>
<p><strong>CBD as a Sleep Aid</strong></p>
<p>When it comes to the list of benefits CBD can bring, it is long and growing. CBD is thought to have positive impacts on anxiety, pain management, sleep cycles and more. This is due to CBD’s direct interaction with the human body’s endocannabinoid system. <a href="http://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/27031992/">This bodily system is responsible for a number of physiological and cognitive processes like mood, appetite, pain, stress regulation, etc., and CBD has the ability to impact receptors within the ECS (endocannabinoid system).</a> The ECS contains naturally occurring phytocannabinoids already, needed to maintain homeostasis or balance within the body.</p>
<p>The two most widely known receptors to interact directly with CBD in the ECS are the CB1 and CB2 receptors. CB1 receptors are found most abundantly in the central nervous system and the brain, while CB2 receptors are found in the peripheral nervous system, digestive system and immune system. <a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7388834/">When CBD is consumed and enters the ECS, its interaction with the receptors can lead to increased or decreased breakdown of particular enzymes and molecules that influence our mood, pain reception, stress levels and more</a>.</p>
<p>The direct interaction between cannabidiol and the endocannabinoid system could potentially deliver a therapeutic effect, promoting feelings of relaxation and calm. Though research is still limited, it is this interaction that leads us to believe CBD could be useful as a sleep aid, including for those suffering from insomnia.</p>
<p><strong>Best CBD Products for Sleep</strong></p>
<p>When it comes to finding a good CBD product to help promote a restful sleep, turning to a higher-dosage and high-quality product may be your best choice. Not all CBD products are created equal, so fact checking label claims for accuracy and lab-test results for quality is key.</p>
<p>A CBD oil is an ideal choice for a CBD product to act quickly and potentially aid in sleep. CBD oils enter the bloodstream through sublingual consumption and can be taken before bedtime. Another choice is a CBD edible, which can also be taken easily before bedtime. There are even companies like <a href="http://blueribbonhemp.com/">Blue Ribbon Hemp</a>, who have crafted CBD products with senior care in mind and have a <a href="http://blueribbonhemp.com/oral-strips-product">CBD Oral Strip</a> in mint flavor that pairs perfectly with bedtime. These breath-saving strips are completely THC-free and deliver a perfectly dosed 15mg of CBD. If you are looking for a higher dose of cannabidiol, they also have a <a href="http://blueribbonhemp.com/max-strength-5000-tincture">Max-Strength CBD Oil Tincture</a>, crafted in part by Dr. Igor Bussel to deliver a high-quality broad-spectrum CBD in a 166mg per serving dose.</p>

<p>In her post, the American columnist had her baby bump on full display. Meghan uploaded three photos of her posing in the mirror in what appears to be her bedroom. In two of the snaps, she donned a black maternity dress and a blue jean jacket, while she sported a flowy gray maxidress in the other.</p>
<p>Considering this was the first time Meghan has ever shown off her baby bump, fans were thrilled to catch a glimpse inside her life as a new mama. “Aww! You finally did it! You posted a pregnancy pic. You looked glorious,” one user wrote, while another echoed, “Wow, you looked fabulous.” A third fan gushed, “I hope you realize how adorable you look pregnant!”</p>

<p>“I believe children have a right to privacy and hope you will all understand as we navigate this as much as possible going forward without sacrificing our comfort or safety,” she wrote in a <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CAvrrzvHZp6/">candid Instagram post</a> in May 2020. The Emmy Award winner said she and Ben “made the conscious decision” in order to “guard” their family’s privacy.</p>

				Inside Meghan McCain&#039;s 2 Houses That Are Perfect for Daughter Liberty
		</span>
				</span>	</a>
</div>

<p>As much as she would’ve loved to share photos throughout her pregnancy, “a bunch of inhumane jackasses have really ruined so much for so many on social media,” including herself. Meghan noted prior to dad <a href="https://www.closerweekly.com/tags/john-mccain/">John McCain</a>‘s <a href="https://www.closerweekly.com/posts/john-mccain-died-165215/">death in August 2018</a>, users would comment how they were “glad [her] dad has cancer and he’s in hell.”</p>
<p>“I learned a lot of hard lessons about [the] cruelty that comes with being open and vulnerable about my personal life during my Dad’s cancer fight,” the<em> Raising McCain</em> alum explained. “It is a shame. I know this is an unorthodox choice for a talk show host who is on TV five days a week, but I’ve always lived by the beat of my own drum.”</p>
<p>Now that Meghan is becoming more comfortable, she’s started sharing some sneak peeks inside her role as a mom! <strong>Keep scrolling to see all the rare photos she’s uploaded of daughter Liberty and more. </strong></p>
