Hoopnotica - The "Stoner Workout"



"Girl - if you want to wear the clothes, you have to make some sacrifices." - Ben S. 

This mantra was bestowed upon Budlover many years ago by her dear friend Ben, whose wise words went unappreciated for a long period of time. Ben was Budlover's self-appointed "Jewish Mama",  and the Fag to her Hag.  At that time, Budlover was a ripe, young nineteen year old girl living in NYC... she and her metabolism had not a care in the word (besides where her next pair of shoes would come from). We feared no cheeseburger or cup-o-noodles (judge not - we were broke and wanted to conserve $ on food to satisfy our sartorial appetite).

Years later, things (our abs and ass in particular) have changed and we find ourselves needing to heed Ben's sage advice. Budlover has a penchant for pretty things, clothes chief among them. Without a good diet and exercise, it would no longer be possible to rock the short skirts and form fitting dresses that we so adore.

It must be said that Budlover is (obviously) 1. a stoner, and (not to stereotype or anything) 2. lazy and quite sedentary in nature. We despise sweat and the monotonous, laborious, strenuous physical exertion required of a healthy exercise program. Most of the time, we simply cannot be bothered. 

Until now...

Budlover has discovered the secret to staying slim AND stoned - HOOPNOTICA!
The formula is really quite simple: weed + hoop + tunes = 8 )

Budlover was introduced to Hoopnotica by a dear friend and fellow stoner, M, who swore up and down that she'd lost 25lbs over 6 months simply by hooping for 30 minutes each day and counting her calories (If it's after 8pm, you'd better put the pasta down, girls. sorry.) Having observed M's transformation with our own eyes, we decided to give it a whirl. 


Budlover picked up this adult sized, portable "Travel Hoop" fitness-hoop from the Hoopnotica shop in Marina Del Rey just a few months ago; and has not been able to put it down since. We know that hula-hooping may sound intimidating, but don't worry - it is quite easy! The larger (adult) size and heavier weight create momentum, making it easier to "keep it up". Once you've mastered waist and hip hooping, you begin to learn other moves such as "halos" and "corkscrews". These are great for impressing your friends. Budlover finds that it is easier to master new moves while stoned, so we highly reccommend medicating prior to any hoop-jam.We usually enjoy our daily Hoopnotica practice by creating an ipod genius mix of 8-12 of our favorite songs, then we hoop till it's thru. 

Hooping is a blast, it's fun, it improves your coordination, it looks HOT, and it really blows thru the calories (400-600 per hour to be exact!). We've lost (and kept off)  a little over 2 inches from our waist since starting 6 months ago. What more could a girl ask for?

The answer is obvious... more hoops of course! Budlover has expanded her personal collection to include more than a dozen gorgeous "Limited Editions". They sparkle like jewels in our backyard and bring a smile to our face whenever we look out the window. Bet you can't say that about your treadmill / spin bike / elliptical.  ; )

Hoopnotica sells it's colorful, gorgeous hoops online at www.hoopnotica.com. In addition, they've opened a Hoopnotica studio just down the street from Budlover's house, now offering classes 6 days per week

Check it out, you might find us there.... and if you're early, you might catch us vaping with our Magic Flight Launchbox while sitting outside in our car. If spot us, just knock at our window. Sharing is caring, after all.

Budlover is setting off fire alarms....again.

The fire alarm is going off in Budlover's building, but we're not evacuating.

The first time, we grabbed our tiny dog, favorite shoes, and macbook before scooting out the door.

The second time, we thought that it might be a coincidence. (we were taking bong rips both times)

The third time, we realized that it was entirely our fault.

Although we usually medicate with our Vapor Brothers Handsfree Vaporizer, we sometimes enjoy being enveloped in a pearly cloud of delicious smoke....too tempting to resist....

for the sake of our neighbors, we promise to vape more often

Stiletto Stoner: Yvonne - Founder of the 99 High Art Collective and Gallery

Yvonne - aka 99

BudLover is a blog written by two friends who also happen to be women. In the spirit of celebrating female entrepreneurs, we bring you "Stiletto Stoner", a monthly column profiling our favorite female tastemakers, activists, canna-business owners, and beyond. 
Budlover is very honored to have the lovely Yvonne (aka 99) Founder of the 99 High Art Collective and Gallery, as our very first Stiletto Stoner.   Enjoy the interview!

Please tell us about your collective and philosophy on herbal medicine.
"The 99 High Art Collective was born from the need to have a place of sanctuary, healing and art to inspire people to heal themselves through higher consciousness plant medicine.  When my mother was suffering from breast cancer, it was Marijuana to the rescue.  I wanted to create a space that you could bring your mother to, and also your friends.  A place where the community could come together and heal through art and plants and music.  My philosophy is easy... Art and healing are inseparable."


What sets your collective and medicine apart from the rest? 
"I think the 99 High Art Collective sets itself apart with love and compassion.  We truly love and care about our patients, we love our growers, our friends and family, we love the mailman, we just love everyone who is a part of our collective.  Our medicine also sets us apart.  We have our very own exclusive cannabis quality expert who inspects the medicine and helps us choose the highest quality herb possible."

How do you select your products? Do you have a set of standards or guidelines for choosing which products 99 High Art Collective offers? 
"I personally try every single product that comes into the 99 High Art Collective.  We deal with only members of our collective and those we have confirmed assurance are compliant with organic growing and organic products.  We also know the makers and creators of the products we carry.  They are our friends. We always strive to have an assortment of high quality products for everyone. Including sugar free products, gluten free, vegan, and of course all organic."

How many strains does 99 High Art Collective offer at any given time? Do you have a specialty strain?
"We pride ourselves on having the largest selection of quality organic cannabis medicine, up to 99 strains at one point,  and we have  exclusive and private reserve strains including our own signature strain 99 Kush and our exclusive strain THC aka The Higher Consciousness. Two delicious sativa dominant strains."
