Are CBD and Hemp Oil the Same?

The simple answer is no, they are not the same. CBD or hemp extract is a cannabinoid found in the cannabis plant. Hemp oil or hemp seed oil is extracted from the seeds of hemp, similar to sunflower, canola, and sesame oil that you’d find in the grocery store.

Seed oil is extracted from the seed of a plant, while CBD is extracted from the whole hemp plant, including flowers, leaves, and stems.

Although hemp oil has its own health benefits, it is not the same as CBD or hemp extract. So how do you know if you’re shopping for a proper CBD product? Here are a few ways to be certain:

  1. Research the brand. This includes looking for trustworthy reviews and product COAs (Certificate of Analysis). Reputable companies will have this information readily available on their website. COAs confirm exactly how much CBD and other cannabinoids are present in the product.
  2. Check the ingredients. Reading a product’s label will give you a ton of insight. This is where you will find the distinctive ingredient you’re looking for: hemp seed (hemp seed oil) or CBD (hemp extract).
  3. If you’re shopping on Amazon, then it’s hemp seed oil. Amazon does not currently allow CBD to be sold on its platform.
  4. Most CBD is sold in quantities of 300mg (~$50) to 2,000mg (~$200) at most. If the product you’re looking at is much cheaper than those average prices, or the quantities in mg (milligram) are much higher, then it’s hemp oil.
Like any naisant industry, brands may use marketing keywords inaccurately. This causes confusion and we feel that it hurts the industry as a whole. That’s why we developed our Dazey Dictionary; a place to find all the cannabis keywords you may be curious about.

What is your definition of wellness?
Living your best life whatever that looks like to you!
What’s the most important part of your wellness routine?
Water! I always notice a difference the more I drink!
What is your advice for maintaining work/life balance?
Listen to your body! Lean into taking breaks if you need or circling back to something on your to-do list, the best way to find balance is to let it shift as it needs to.
Who is your wellness mentor?
Lizzo! She’s so unapologetically herself and I love how she uses her platform to promote health at every size and just living life to the fullest.
When did you first decide to try CBD?
A couple years ago! I suffer from pretty bad anxiety and turned to CBD as a way of alleviating some of my stresses from day to day. From gummies to pre-rolls, you name it I’ve tried it and it has made such a difference with my anxiety.
What are your favorite beauty or skincare products?
I’m a huge lover of oil for my face. I have pretty dry skin in the winter so I love to lather on a thin layer of oil post bed time routine to lock in moisture over night. My favorites are the Green Tansy face oil from Dazey, Rose Hip seed oil from the Ordinary, and Castor Oil for my brows and eyelashes!
What is your favorite exercise or routine?
I love pilates! I started it a few years ago and have been hooked ever since. Because of the pandemic I haven’t been to a reformer class in almost a year but my studio, Avea Pilates offers online zoom classes which have been so great to keep me accountable and feeling strong.

How have you been staying positive during the COVID pandemic?
Scheduling as many FaceTime dates with friends and family as possible! While the distance can be hard to stay connected I always feel so much happier and positive after a catch up with those who know me best!
What have you discovered during quarantine?
I’m a big crafter! Over quarantine I’ve made masks and quilts with my mom, needlepointing, shrinky dinks, bedazzling, clay rings, diy home decor….you name it I’ve probably tried it! Quarantine has been such a fun time at home to pick up new hobbies and just have fun!
What is always on your nightstand?
Lip balm and hand cream! I cannot go to bed without moisturized lips, hands, and feet!

CBD Dosing Tracker

CBD Dosing Tracker
“So…how much CBD should I take?” We get this question a lot. For most people, we’ve found that the best dose for beginners is 15mg of full spectrum CBD twice a day. Daily dosing is the key to consistent benefits and 15mg has a light but noticeable calming effect on most people.

But in truth, It’s a complicated question and the perfect answer isn’t always the same for everyone. We take CBD to find balance, but each of our bodies process CBD at different rates. So we developed a simple, quick, and easy to use dosing tracker to help you find your perfect dose of CBD. This downloadable and printable resource is meant to help build consistency around dosing, and discover the power of CBD as a wellness tool.

The idea is simple: each day of the week you will complete a series of questions. Each day consists of three questions related to the morning and evening:

  1. What was your dose?
  2. What form of CBD did you use?
  3. How are you feeling?
 There’s also room to include a product name to keep track of which CBD is most effective for you. These specific questions are designed to make you think about how you feel and why you feel that way, and provide you with the data to make an informed decision about your dose.

This was our first attempt at answering the “how much CBD should I take” question, and we expect to continue to evolve this tracker with the help of you and the rest of this community. So share this with someone and use it and tell us if it helps you dial in your perfect dose. The more we all educate those around us about how to use CBD, the more people we can bring into this great community.

P.S. This tracker is also available in our book, “CBD & Chill!” Available now on our website or from Penguin Random House, Amazon, and independent bookstores across the US.

Introducing new, compostable hemp packaging!

We are so excited to debut outer hemp packaging for our CBD-infused beauty products. These boxes are made from hemp and post-consumer waste. They are acid-free & chlorine-free and the ink is soy-based. Yes, that means you can toss them directly into your compost bin.

Why boxes?
Hemp packaging is key to not only completing the look of our products, but they add an additional solid layer of material to block any sunlight from degrading the efficacy of the product inside. In addition, this packaging will help to reduce tampering on retail shelves.

This is a sustainable solution to your typical paper stock and we’re so proud of how they turned out. Every body oil (Dune and Bloom), Dream Cream, Mango Cooling Gel, Green Tansy Face Oil, and Passionfruit Hair Mask will be shipped in our new boxes.

Thank you to our friends over at Hemp.Press for bringing our designs to life. Their motto says it best: “the future of paper is rooted in fields, not forests.”

CBD Recipe: Coconut Margarita
Summer deserves a good margarita and if you haven’t noticed already, coconut is one of our favorite flavors. This cocktail (or mocktail if choose to leave out the tequila and triple sec) is the perfect marriage between a piña colada and a margarita. It’s one of our absolute favorites on a warm, summer day.

Ingredients:
8 oz. coconut water
3 oz. light coconut milk (from a can)
3 oz. tequila blanco
1 oz. triple sec
Juice of one lime
Handful of ice cubes
Optional: 30MG Dazey CBD oil

Instructions:
Add all ingredients into a blender and blend until smooth. If you were able to think ahead, I like to freeze the coconut water into ice cubes first to reduce the extra water (but I rarely remember to do it). Serve with a garnish of lime and a rim of salt or coconut sugar if you prefer something sweet! This recipe should make two full margaritas.

CBD Dog Treats Recipe

CBD Recipe: PB & Banana Dog Treats

CBD dog treats recipe
CBD dog treats
These homemade dog treats are great for offering your pup a perfectly dosed CBD snack. We have an Aussie/Border Collie mix and while she is a total sweetheart, sometimes her anxiety gets the best of her. She’s 45 lbs. so we give her 10MG of CBD each day. While she will usually lick directly from her tincture, I also like to cook up a batch of these treats and dose them with 5MG each. They are much healthier than most store-bought treats (no gluten, grain, food dyes, or preservatives) and they’re handy for travel.

Ingredients:
3/4 cup almond flour
1/4 cup unsalted peanut butter (and make sure it doesn’t contain xylitol!)
1/2 ripe banana
Optional: 75MG Dazey CBD oil (5MG per treat)

Instructions:
Preheat oven to 350 F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Combine all ingredients in a bowl and mash together. Using your hands, make 1 inch balls of the mix and place on sheet. You should be able to make ~15. Flatten slightly with your fingers and bake for 15 minutes until golden around the edges. Remove from oven and drop your CBD dose (5MG in our case) directly onto each treat. It will absorb completely. Let cool and then treat your dog to a very chill snack.

Note: Almond flour is safe for dogs but large doses may not agree with smaller dogs. Check with your vet to confirm if these ingredients are safe for your dog. Coconut, brown rice, or whole wheat flour can be used as substitutes. And if you’re not sure how much CBD to give your dog, you can find our dosing guide here: CBD for Pets.

CBD Recipe: Coconut Turmeric Tonic

Recipe: Coconut Turmeric Tonic
CBD-turmeric-tonic-recipe
Similar to CBD, turmeric fights inflammation from the inside out. This superfood is known to support the gut and banish bloating while also improving skin health. This tonic is my go-to recipe not only because it’s super easy, but also because it contains one of my other favorite drinks: coconut water.

Of course you are welcome to use any brand of coconut water you prefer, but I personally find no other coconut water compares to Waikoko. Located on the garden island of Kauai, we discovered this coconut water at a grocery store during our last vacation to Hawaii. I don’t know what they do differently, but when I found out the brand started selling on Amazon, I ordered 3 cases.

Ingredients:
1/2 can of Waikoko coconut water
2 lemon wedges
1 tsp of ground turmeric
Dash of black and cayenne pepper
Optional: 15MG Dazey CBD oil

Instructions:
Add the turmeric and ground peppers to the bottom of your glass. Squeeze lemon wedges and drop into glass. Add ice and a few drops of CBD (I usually add 10-15MG). Pour coconut water on top and stir until mixed.

You can also add a little agave syrup or honey to sweeten, but the coconut water gives just the right amount of sweetness in my opinion. Enjoy!

What is your definition of wellness?
Wellness is all about balance. My mom always says “enjoy everything in moderation” and I’ve found it’s the best mantra for balancing work, diet, exercise and everything in between. It also means you have to be kind to yourself when it comes to indulgences and let yourself be treated every once in awhile.
What’s the most important part of your wellness routine?
Water, stretching, and CBD. If I miss just one, everything starts to go off the rails. I drink a glass of water right when I wake up each morning, take CBD with my coffee, and spend 10 minutes stretching before diving into email. I used to jump right into work and before I knew it, it was lunchtime and my entire body was tense.
How do you manage stress?
I keep a lot of lists and I use an old fashioned pen and paper because it’s just not the same in an app. I’ve also become a lot better at managing my expectations of the list. I minimize “must do’s” to 1-2 per day so that I can feel accomplished and don’t set unrealistic expectations of when I will have things completed (it always takes longer than you think).
When did you first decide to try CBD?
I was working at a tech company when a co-worker recommended I try CBD to manage my stress. At least in my experience, tech is a drinking culture and it wasn’t unusual to see beers or glasses of wine on desks starting around 4pm (sometimes earlier). While alcohol helped me decompress, it also made me lazy and overweight. I wanted something that took the edge off that I could use during work hours and that didn’t have negative mental or physical side effects.
How do you incorporate CBD into your daily routine?
I start each day with 15MG of Dazey’s Regular CBD oil and I usually take another dose of 15MG around 3pm to power through the final hours of the day. Anytime I have a headache or cramps, I will take 25-40MG depending on the severity, and sometimes on those nights where I can’t get my brain to shutdown, I’ll reach for another 15MG to help put me to sleep.
Do you take CBD during work?
I do! It helps me focus and stay more productive. I used to be overwhelmed and sloggish when I had a lot of work to get through but taking CBD regularly has really helped me stay sharp and take things one task at a time. I also tend to get really nervous and anxious for large meetings, no matter how prepared I am, and an extra dose keeps me calm and poised.

What’s on your weekly grocery shopping list?
Our pantry is always stocked with chickpeas, dried mango slices, broccoli sprouts, beyond meat breakfast sausage, mushrooms, canned tuna, and hummus. We move through them all pretty quickly.
Where do you go when you need to get away?
In Washington, it’s Whidbey Island. We love the Langley area and always stop for Rainier-steamed mussels. In California, it’s Big Sur. We book reservations at the Kirk Creek campground way in advance to get our favorite campsite and we pack up the car for short weekend trips. We always stop for a burger at Nepenthe’s and I love the pink sand at Julia Pfeiffer beach.
What have you discovered during quarantine?
I signed up for Obe and have really enjoyed it! It has an awesome variation of classes (both scheduled and on-demand). But on most days you will probably find me on long walks with my boyfriend and our dog around the neighborhood. It’s one of the only times we leave the house these days.
What is always on your nightstand?
Currently: my Kindle, a Selenite candle holder I bought in Zion with a woodsy-scented tea candle, a bottle of Dazey, a seashell that I use as a jewelry dish, the Do It For Yourself journal by Kara Cutruzzula, and an extra fine Pilot pen.
