‘Tis the season for indulging in a good smoke or drink, both if you’re feeling extra naughty. For me though I dislike the unwelcome side effects of traditional drinks or smoking from headaches, intoxication, and feeling blah in the morning. I have found a duo of delightful brands that make it their mission to offer adult fun without the hangovers. Three Spirit and MONQ should be on your radar this season for festivities at work, home, or an impromptu party with Santa.
Three Spirit’s alternative non-alcoholic wines not only taste phenomenal but look extraordinary on the dinner table (and make you feel like a million bucks). Expert wine markers conjured up this blend and whipped up the Blurred Vines duo. When I’m in the mood for something pink and bright, Spark enlivens me from the inside out. Notes of floral greens, teas, and juicy strawberry and apricot makes for a jubilant alternative to champagne. While sipping the amino acids and adaptogens come together for a stimulating effect and delicious euphoria. It’s easy on the tummy as it is gluten free, low calorie, and vegan so a win-win-win!
Looking for a proper wine without the bitter hangover? Sharp is the bottle for you: designed with Californian poppy, clary sage, coconut water and notes of citrus. I poured glasses for me and friends while watching carolers stroll around the neighborhood. They report the insanely smooth mouthfeel and refreshing taste with a spicy kick. Cheers on with Three Spirit!
Breathe in, breathe out with MONQ. The leader in portable aromatherapy, MONQ has launched their CBD+ line to help all of us find some chill throughout the hectic day. They offer a ten pack of their aromatherapy scents in a plethora of flavors to make anyone jolly. Easy to travel with whether traveling to see family or spending a night out at the ice skating rink, MONQ offers a flavor for every mood. To feel as merry and bright reach for Happy (fennel, thyme, vanilla blend) or Fresh (ginger, lemon, peppermint). In the mood for snuggling up by the fire place and roasting marshmallows? I recommend puffing Cozy (cardamom, cinnamon leaf, vanilla), Zen (frankincense, orange, ylang-ylang) or Peace (frankincense, rosemary, yellow mandarin). For frosty mornings with my dogs I being along my favorite blend, Ocean, which is eucalyptus, lime, tangerine to take me back to the summer and remind me of blue waters.
Upon first inhale I breathe slowly and mindfully, as a jeweled tip lights up with each puff. Once I have the aroma I hold it in my mouth for a few minutes to center myself and proceed to blow it out gently through my nose. Instantly I feel the sensation of calm wash over me and repeat two more times. MONQ also offers non CBD blends for those who want to feel completely clear headed. I keep a MONQ diffuser in my purse, car, and will be gifting some to very lucky friends. Enjoy the holidays with Three Spirit and MONQ!
