You see SATIVA. What do you expect?
Energy? Focus? Motivation? 👀

Now look a little lower.

β-Myrcene: 1.28%
And it’s the dominant terpene.

That’s exactly why I keep saying: Sativa, Hybrid and Indica are not guarantees of effect.

This Sour Diesel is labeled Sativa, but its terpene profile is heavily myrcene-dominant. That doesn’t automatically mean it will make you sleepy, but it absolutely means you should look beyond the category before assuming how it may feel.

If you’re shopping for a specific experience, don’t stop at “Sativa” or “Indica.”

Read the cannabinoid profile. Read the terpene profile. Consider your dose. Pay attention to how similar profiles affect YOU.

The better question may not be:
“Is this a Sativa?”

It may be:
“What’s in it?” 🌿

This is exactly the kind of information we break down in our Beyond the Menu workshops at Diva’s Den Studios — real cannabis education designed to help you shop with more confidence and make more informed choices.

A little garden gift turned into an elevated Margherita. 🌿🍕

I was gifted some beautiful fresh basil, and naturally I put it to work.

I made the dough from scratch and elevated it with SunMed Growers Black Cherry Gelato, then finished the pizza with crushed tomatoes, fresh mozzarella, garden basil and olive oil.

One of the things I love about working with cannabis in the kitchen is understanding the plant beyond THC. Black Cherry Gelato’s terpene profile can include β-caryophyllene — a terpene also naturally found in aromatic herbs and spices like oregano and basil.

That kind of connection is part of what makes intentional infusion so interesting to me: understanding the flower, understanding the ingredients, and knowing how they can complement each other.

Fresh ingredients. Thoughtful pairing. Proper dosing. Professional technique.

And BABYYYYY… it was FIRE. 🔥🔥🔥🍕🤭💅🏾

This is what going Beyond the Menu looks like.

Learn. Connect. Vibe.

🌿 TERP TUESDAY

Curio Wellness…what exactly are y’all trying to do to us? 😭😂

Today’s little science experiment: Scotch & Soda

42.69% THCa is already enough to make you look twice, but then I got to the terpene profile:

💚 Myrcene: 1.67%
🌿 Caryophyllene: 0.51%
🍋 Limonene: 0.50%
Total terpenes: 3.37%

This is what I mean when I say look beyond the THC percentage. The whole label tells the story.

For me, this reads like a heavy indica-leaning hybrid and definitely one I’d put in the experienced-consumer category.

And apparently I also learned today that sometimes the joint is still loading the screen because 20 minutes later… 👀🤣

What terpene do you look for first?

What a night at the Den. 🥹💜

Our first Networking Night
Where Connections Begin was everything I hoped it would be. The room was filled with business owners, professionals, educators, advocates, creatives, and community leaders — and the connections happened naturally.

People talked. Shared ideas. Learned about each other’s work. Found common ground. Exchanged information. And in some cases, started talking about future collaborations before the night was even over.

And apparently we were way too busy connecting to remember to take enough pictures. 😂🤣 I’ll gladly take that problem.

Thank you to everyone who came into the Den, shared what you do, supported someone else’s work, and helped create such a warm and genuine evening.

This is exactly what I want Diva’s Den Studios to be: a space where people can come together to learn, connect, and vibe.

Keep the connections going 🤝

Meet the Host 💜

After spending the week introducing some of the amazing people joining us for Networking Night, I figured I should probably introduce myself too. 🤭

I’m Erika, founder of Diva’s Den Studios — a space created for education, connection, community, and experiences that bring people together.

Through workshops, community events, networking opportunities, and collaborative programming, the goal of the Den is simple: create a welcoming space where people can learn something, meet someone, share what they know, and leave with a new connection.

Tonight, I get to welcome an incredible group of local business owners, educators, advocates, creatives, and community leaders into the Den — and I cannot wait to see where the conversations lead.

Welcome to my little corner of Bel Air. 💜
