The Kardashians never do things by halves. Reality queen Kim Kardashian threw ababy showerover the weekend; but, surprise surprise, it wasn’t just a baby shower - it was a ‘CBD infused’ baby shower (because Kim just loves a theme!) As she said earlier this month, she planned a shower with CBD - short for cannabidiol, the chemical extracted from the cannabis plant - because she was 'freaking out so much'. Explaining the theme behind the event, she told guests, ‘I thought it was kind of ridiculous to have a fourth baby shower. But I thought I’m freaking the fuck out having a fourth kid… So everyone have a puff and put on some oil.’
Sounds chill, but there was obviously a lot of planning involved for all-star invite list, which included the likes of Chrissy Teigen and Paris Hilton. The party was provided by HelloMD, a ‘digital healthcare platform for the cannabis industry’. ‘HelloMD was thrilled to work with Kim Kardashian West on her baby shower,' a source reported to DailyMail.com. 'Their board certified cannabis and CBD doctors answered guests' questions, and they brought some of their favorite brand partners to infuse high-quality, organically cultivated CBD into the Yeezy spa.’
So, as if doctors primed to answer your every question wasn't enough, Peoplereports that at the 'CBD & Meditation'-themed gathering, every guest was given their own navy blue Yeezy slides and took part in a sound bath. (Which is apparently when you 'immerse your body in beautiful sounds and vibrations that are healing for your body, mind and spirit.') And for probably the bougiest party bag ever, the star even invited everyone to make CBD-infused bath oils and bath salts. The attendees were also invited to suggest baby names on a wall. (Any better suggestions than North or Saint, or?)
In case you haven’t been keeping up with the hype surrounding CBD, it doesn’t get you high. CBD is a non-psychoactive compound found in cannabis, and over the past few years, it has gained a cult-like following in the beauty industry, with supposed benefits such as anti-aging, helping you to sleep better and aiding acne treatment. In fact, it even has its own section on CultBeauty - and other brands are expected to follow suit.
But what does this mean for the beauty industry now that Kim K has become CBD’s unofficial spokesperson/party girl? Well, it could be one thing or the other. On one hand, it could mark the end of cannabis in beauty being totally cool, man - because it's now so totally mainstream. Or, just like Gwyneth Paltrow with most wellness trends, Kim could making CBD The Next (Even Bigger) Thing. We’ll just have to wait and see.
