TESTIMONIES:
Muscle rub: Here's the gold...within literal seconds, I felt it starting to work. The cooling, the tingling...and then slowly but surely, the tension started to roll off. It was THE craziest feeling because I could legitimately feel my muscles (all contracted) start to elongate and just RELAX. Within 5 minutes, I felt like a new person -- like I had just gotten a niiiice long GLORIOUS massage.
Calm roller + Citrus Drops: Between work and motherhood and running a household and talking care of myself and all the demands of life, I get so overwhelmed. I've been using the CBD drops twice a day and CALM roller throughout the day, and I can tell such a huge difference in my anxiety Ievels!
