Utilizing the power of Psychedelics & The New Moon in Cancer

"Ego death. before we can dismantle oppressive systems we have to eradicate the ways in which they’ve manifested in us.

If you kill the white supremacist in your head you inevitably kill the capitalist, the sexist, the racist, the transphobia, the individualism

You trade I for We"

Ego death is one of the main benefits of psychedelics.

Your Ego is powerful, try taking time to separate "Ego" and "Confidence".

Confidence serves you.

You need confidence to fuel your activism and to build something new.

But ego, is the "fake it till you make it" mentality, of talking about it but not putting it into action.

Right now we need action which serves us all, ego doesn't serve us all because it is singular.

I have worked as a psychedelic integration coach for over 5 years now.

Using microdosed increments of psyllicibin helps some shine light on and confront things hiding in the corners of your mind that you have suppressed or ignored... like internalized racism & misogyny.

New moon in Cancer is a great time to confront these parts of you and work on letting them go.

As a woman of color I have had to unpack moments where I followed my ego and chose "me" over "we". There were times in my career that I thought there was only one seat at the table in the male dominated restaurant industry for a woman or person of color, so I should just be happy to be at the table.

But this mentality probably made me competitive with other women of color instead of advocate for them to have a seat too. I see now that that mindset didn't benefit me because it didn't benefit us all. It took years of therapy and a regimen of psychedelics to reprogram that thinking.

If you have heard me speak on panels or interviews over the last few years you have heard me say "In the CBD/Cannabis Industry the table is still being built so we need to hold that seat for our talented friends who happen to be Black womxn/Womxn of color. We have the ability and opportunity to build a more inclusive table, a bigger table and I encourage you all to take that opportunity."

We have an opportunity to change our minds and our society right now and I encourage you all to take it.

Infused Grazing Boxes & Grazing tables

Infused grazing boxes and grazing tables have been one of my more popular requests this year. And who could blame my clients, a grazing table or grazing box has a little something for everyone.

All of my grazing boxes come with freshly made and infused dips, crackers of all kinds both store-bought and handmade, fresh veggies and fruit, flowers, and some come with smokeables when requested.

Anything infused has been infused with hemp or cannabis is from a source I trust and has an amazing flavor and effect that I want you to experience.

And before any grazing box order I ask you if there's any delicious treats or strains that you want to see included in your graze.

These boxes are a crowd pleaser and I have availability this month for a couple of more orders for pickup or delivery in the Portland metro area.

If you are interested in getting a grazing box to make your weekend a little bit more exciting or to celebrate a milestone just go to www.livviesmalls.com/deliveryrequest and fill out the request form!

Happy grazing and happy blazing!

Healthy Coke??

The new "healthy coke" trend has people all over the internet mixing Balsamic vinegar with soda water. Please don't drink this salad dressing soda. Instead make a delicious fruit shrub or find one of the many flavored Thai and Korean drinking vinegars that are already made for you! A shrub is a great way to save fruit that is about to spoil.

Shrub Recipe-

1 lb of fruit (any fruit works but I love to use berries)

2 cups sugar

2 cups apple cider vinegar

In a pan add your fruit and sugar then cook on low until the fruit starts to express juice and the sugar starts to melt then add in two cups of apple cider vinegar. Using a spatula the mixture until the fruit is fully cooked then remove from the heat, strain, and reserve in a jar for mocktails and cocktails.

I like to pour mine over ice with a little bit of tincture and soda water for an infused mocktail! You can also make variations of this with honey or omitting the sugar.

The apple cider vinegar is also great for gut health and digestion.

This is a great recipe for preventing food waste, you can cut the recipe in half very easily, and I promise you that this is a lot tastier than balsamic salad dressing soda.
