“What happened to Bliss?”: A Message from Megan Riggs, CEO of Crunchy Hydration

Hi Crunchy Crew! We know many of you have been asking, “Where’s Bliss?” and “What’s happened to the CBD blends?” Well, we want to give you a peak behind the small business curtain to answer these questions. 

In recent months, we’ve faced unexpected challenges due to proposed legislation that threatened the availability of CBD products in the market. This legislation posed a potential barrier for retailers, leading some to remove our CBD blends from their shelves out of caution. Understandably, this led us to worry about the future of our blends. We started to ask ourselves, “Will we be able to sell these products in Virginia?” “How many stores are going to keep us stocked if this legislation is passed?”

Initially, we chose to monitor the situation, hopeful for a resolution that would allow us to continue offering our blends without disruption. However, as time passed without a clear outcome, we found ourselves at a crossroads. We realized that our customers deserved transparency and reliability, and it was time to take action.

With careful consideration, we’ve made the decision to ramp up production of our CBD blends. This decision wasn’t made lightly, but it reflects our unwavering commitment to meeting the needs of our community. We understand the importance of consistency and access to products that enhance your Bliss, and we’re dedicated to delivering that.

I want to express my deepest gratitude for your patience and understanding throughout this process. Your support as consumers and as a community is what keeps us moving forward. As we navigate the ever-changing landscape of the beverage industry, we ask for your continued understanding and support.

Moving forward, we’re committed to keeping the lines of communication open and ensuring that you have access to the products you love. Your feedback, suggestions, and stories drive our passion for innovation and reinforce our commitment to serving you better every day.

Thank you for being a part of the Crunchy Hydration family. Your loyalty means the world to us, and we’re excited to continue this journey together. Here’s to a future filled with refreshing hydration, wellness, and community.

Warm regards,

Megan Riggs  

CEO, Crunchy Hydration

Love Yourself! Simplifying Self Care

Life gets busy, here’s how we simplify self care.

February is all about love, right? What’s more important than loving yourself? At Crunchy, we’re all about simplifying self-care because, let’s be real, life’s already complicated enough. So take a moment, breathe deeply, and focus on the little things that bring you peace. Here are a few simple ways you can celebrate self-love this month with simplified self care. 

The Power of Deep Breaths

First things first, take a breather. Seriously, find a quiet spot, close your eyes, and just breathe. It’s amazing what a few deep breaths can do for your stress levels. Research shows that taking deep breaths helps reduce stress and anxiety by telling your body to relax.

Nature’s Therapy

Step outside and soak up some nature. Whether it’s a stroll in the park or sitting by a tree, spending time outdoors can work wonders for your mood. It’s like hitting the reset button on your day.

Hydrate, Hydrate, Hydrate!

Don’t forget to drink your water and treat yourself to a moment of mindful hydration with a Crunchy Hydration. WIth each flavor curated to soothe your mind and body, choose the flavor or function that speaks to you and sip away! Make hydration fun again with a can of Crunchy.

A touch of CBD

Looking for an extra boost of relaxation? Consider adding Crunchy CBD tinctures to your self-care routine. Just a few drops under the tongue can promote relaxation and ease stress, making it easier to unwind after a long day.

Keep it simple, find what works for you, and make it a part of your daily routine. Trust me, your mind and body will thank you for it. And remember, February might be all about love, but the most important kind of love is the love you give yourself. Grab a Crunchy and take a moment for you. These are the self-care moments that matter most.

Prioritizing Gut Health : Mock-Mojito Recipe

Today, let’s talk about the often-overlooked hero in our well-being journey: gut health.  

Gut health is the silent powerhouse behind feeling great every day. It’s more than just a bodily function—it’s a cornerstone for a balanced, thriving life. By making mindful choices with your drinks, you’re not just sipping; you’re nurturing your gut and laying the foundation for a healthier you.

Why Gut Health Matters:

The gut, our “second brain,” plays a crucial role in how we feel. It influences everything from digestion and nutrient absorption to immune system function and mental well-being. Prioritizing your gut is, in essence, prioritizing your entire body’s harmony.

How the Raspberry Mock-Mojito Can Heal your Gut: 

Packed with ingredients like mint, licorice root, and dandelion root, this Mock-Mojito not only satisfies your taste buds but also actively contributes to improving your digestive system.

Raspberry Mock-Mojito

Ingredients:

✨ 1/2 can Stabilize Crunchy

✨ 1 lime

✨ A handful of fresh mint leaves

Instructions:

1. Crush fresh mint leaves and lime wedges together.

2. Fill the glass with ice cubes for a refreshing base.

3. Pour a can of Stabilize Crunchy into the glass.

4. Give it a gentle stir and take a moment to appreciate the refreshing mock-mojito goodness.

In the spirit of Dry January and the overarching pursuit of wellness, let our Mock-Mojito be your go-to beverage—a choice that aligns with the values of gut health, overall wellness, and the mindful essence of this transformative month. Cheers to a healthier, more balanced you!

Enjoying Dry January with a Refreshing Crunchy Cran-Mango Crush

Hey Crunchy Fam, 

Welcome to the Dry January extravaganza! As we bid adieu to 2023 and embrace 2024, I’ve decided to join the sobriety party. Inspired by my partner’s year of rocking the sober life (kudos to them!), I thought, why not dive into the refreshing world of Dry January myself? The perks are too good to ignore – we’re talking better vibes, clearer skin, and a serious drop in the anxiety department.
