FOM THE ARTICLE: “The issue in general in DIY is once you learn to do something, there’s a sense of accomplishment and you’re saving money,” Errett said. “So many people won’t go back to their old routines.”
The numbers bear that out. Subscriptions for regular color shipments from Madison Reed more than doubled since the pandemic began, indicating that consumers plan to make this a routine practice and not a one-time thing, Errett said.
17. REVIEW: RECESS IS A HEMP-INFUSED SOBER SIPPER THAT WON’T LEAVE YOU SIDELINED – THE TAKEOUT
FROM THE ARTICLE: But in the spirit of goodwill I gave Recess a shot, and though I remain unsure if it’s improved my vitality, in a small way, it’s made me a better person. Had I stuck to my decidedly uncentered and cynical ways, I would not have been reminded that one should never judge a book (or can) by its cover. I would not have discovered one of my favorite non-alcoholic beverages on the market.
Regardless of what those “functional herbs” are meant to do in a spiritual sense, in a drinkable sense, they center every flavor of Recess around a gentle botanical bitterness that encourages you to drink it slowly and savor every minute of it.

19. HILMA MAKES A CAPSULE THAT MELTS AWAY MY TENSION HEADACHES – BON APPETIT
FROM THE ARTICLE: On the worst of days, this tension causes headaches, right in the middle of my brow. I can feel them coming, like a throbbing, pulsing cloud blowing straight toward me. I’ll try to drink some water, close my eyes, and power through, but more often than not I’ll reach into my purse and reluctantly pop an ibuprofen. It’s the only drug or medication I ever take, and while it eases the headache, I often experience numbness and other unpleasant side effects. I’ve tried endless natural remedies—eating more protein, chugging coconut water, micro-dosing coffee, taking a dropper of CBD— but nothing ever worked reliably. And then Hilma’s tension relief popped into my medicine cabinet.
