Here are seven of our absolute favorites.

CBD

The cannabidiol craze hit hard in 2020, but it’s hardly a new trend. Known as the “weed without the high,” CBD is one of 114 cannabinoids found in both hemp and marijuana plants. Yes, it’s completely legal in all 50 states, which is why you’ve seen it pop up everywhere from gas stations to Family Video stores.

Although the ways we can incorporate CBD into easy-to-use products are astounding, the most natural way to consume this cannabinoid is by smoking pure CBD flower.

You can smoke Cannabis sativa to treat epileptic seizures, chronic inflammatory conditions, pain, irritable bowel syndrome, nausea, migraines, anxiety, depression, insomnia, and psychosis, or other mental disorders. And even though it has a close relation to marijuana, CBD can actually lessen the adverse effects of consuming THC.

Apple Cider Vinegar Gummies

Apple cider vinegar may have numerous health benefits, but it tastes awful. How do you get all of the benefits of ACV without offending your taste buds? Apple Cider Vinegar Gummies. According to Flat Tummy Co., these great-tasting gummies are designed to support weight management, improve energy, support digestion, and improve your complexion.

These vegan, non-GMO, gluten-free gummies are packed with vitamins B12 and B6. Flat Tummy Apple Cider Vinegar Gummies “help reduce your appetite, provide a boost to your digestive system, and support your weight management goals.”

BOOMBOD

Have you packed on some unwanted pounds during quarantine? If you’re looking for a weight loss aid to jumpstart your weight loss journey, let us tell you about BOOMBOD. This latest weight-loss sensation starts with a 7-Day Challenge that includes three sachets that you take throughout the day before meals.

BOOMBOD is a simple program that’s easy to incorporate into a busy schedule, and within a week, you can feel and see a difference.

Blue Light Glasses

Everyone is in front of screens now more than ever—especially during the pandemic. We spend hours each day in front of our TV, computer, tablet, and phones, and that blue light at night isn’t good for the eyes.

To block or filter out the blue light emitted from screens, try blue light glasses. Blue light blocking glasses protect your eyes by reducing potential damage to your retinas due to prolonged exposure. Blue light blocking glasses can also eliminate eye strain, dryness, and irritation.

The reviews for blue light blocking glasses are overwhelmingly positive, with many reporting less eye strain and headaches. Some felt less exhausted and more productive.

ForHers

Noticed a little more hair in the drain than usual? Take steps to maintain a healthy head of hair and scalp to prevent early hair loss with one of the best things to come out of 2020, ForHers hair treatments.

Keep hair happy and healthy with the ForHers Complete Hair Kit that includes Minoxidil (aka Rogaine), an FDA approved topical hair medication. There’s also a specially-formulated shampoo and conditioner, and gummy multi-vitamins.

NordicTrack

With gyms and yoga studios closed around the country, many of us have had to get creative with at-home workouts. In the world of stationary bikes, Peloton was the brand that made headlines last year for all the wrong reasons. But, we declare 2020 the year of the NordicTrack Studio Cycle.

The NordicTrack bike’s pedals come equipped with toe cages that allow you to use your favorite running shoes. This is much better than the Peloton pedals, which require special clip-in cleats like a traditional road bike. Plus, pre-recorded outdoor classes on the NordicTrack Studio Cycle will have you following a trainer across the world.

iHerb Gummy Vitamins

Can you tell we love gummy vitamins in 2020? Make sure that you get all the daily vitamins you need with iHerb products. iHerb’s iTested program tests for ingredients, purity, and labeling, so you can trust that all of the vitamins and supplements you choose will be good for you and your family.

With real reviews from real people, you can find quality vitamins and supplements from folks who are committed to supporting you on your journey to long term health and wellness. iHerb offers gummy vitamins for kids as well as all sort of vitamin gummies for adults, including

mega multi-vitamin gummies, Vitamin C gummies, women’s multi-vitamin gummies, men’s multi-vitamin gummies, fiber gummies, and even apple cider vinegar gummies!

See, we told you we found some good things this year. We wouldn’t let you down. Grab your gummy vitamins, hop on that NordicTrack, smoke some CBD, put on your blue light glasses, and get ready for a safe, happy, and healthy 2021!
