CBD Bath Fizzy Disc
Clearly Balanced Days
Made in Belmont, NH
Product Details
Relax+Unwind: Breathe a sigh of relief as sweet orange, tangerine, patchouli, ylang ylang, and rosemary essential oils bring your mind and body the deepest relaxation.
A soak in the tub is the perfect way to relax – as long as you don’t stop to think too much about the harsh chemicals seeping into your pores from your bubble bath. What a buzzkill, right? Don’t worry – Clearly Balanced Days is here to save the day.
Each Fizzy Disc bath bomb is infused with 100mg of broad-spectrum hemp extract and ingredients chosen to balance, soften, and harmonize with your skin, not strip it.
Even artificial fragrance oils can damage your skin, which is one of the reasons they choose essential oils instead – they smell amazing and, as a bonus, have therapeutic applications too!
Use & Care
Drop the disc in the tub with your favorite water temp. Relax and enjoy. Try not to soak much more than 20 minutes, so you don’t re-absorb any toxins your body has rid itself of.
Same for a foot soak, but break the disc into quarters to make it last longer. Use one quarter per soak.
About the Owner
Tina White is a woman who wears many hats (literally and figuratively – she has quite a collection). As the owner of Clearly Balanced Days, she is the head coach, team captain, and biggest (and smallest) cheerleader. She is not just a “boss” she is a leader who pushes her employees to work hard but also to have fun and embrace who they are and what they bring to the team as individuals. She prides herself on being resourceful, resilient, and always willing to learn from any job she has had – qualities they benefit from as a team every day.
Her resiliency was tested in 2017 when her 16-year-old son, Alec, lost his battle with depression. Since then, Tina has used Clearly Balanced Days to stay motivated, help others, and celebrate Alec’s legacy by spreading awareness about mental health and suicide prevention.
About the Company
Since creating Clearly Balanced Days in 2017, its goal was to provide the best CBD available and provide people with the most up-to-date and accurate information about CBD, the CBD industry, the endocannabinoid system, and how it works in our bodies.
The staff at Clearly Balanced Days are all very unique. Still, they have one important thing in common: dedication to working every day to ensure people (and pets!) receive the best products for their needs and have the necessary tools and information to empower them to take charge of their wellness journeys.
There is so much more to Clearly Balanced Days than just selling CBD products – the heart of the company is a passionate and empathetic commitment to helping others physically and mental wellness. Their team has been impacted by mental illness on a personal level, so having this work be part of a loved one’s legacy and hearing how people benefit from their products keeps them motivated to maintain their high standards for quality and continuous improvement.
In 2019, Clearly Balanced Days partnered with SLC Group Holdings so that they can continue to grow, but they remain a small, family-based company, with each team member personally invested in the company and the goals of producing quality products, spreading awareness, and helping people restore balance in multiple ways.

About the Founder
Owner and Founder, Andrea Johnson, has a severe soy allergy, and as we know, it is in nearly everything. Soy derivatives hide within store-made bread, perfumes, and even herbals teas. Her mission is to create recipes & products with organic, clean, soy-free ingredients. Not only is she an Intuitive Herbalist, but she received education from the University of Minnesota with Integrative Health and Medicine Specialization, including Clinical Aromatherapy, as well as Natural Perfumery & Herbalism at The Herbal Academy.
About the Company
Every single oil is either steam-distilled or infused in-house. Any oils she purchases beyond her four walls are from local farms or essential oil organizations with the highest quality. Nothing less. Nothing rushed. No mass batches. All orders are made to order. Not one oil sits on the shelf for months. All are protected, created, and cared for with respect. Her garden is organic; zero pesticides are used, just mother nature. All bottles are sterilized and blessed.
She is proud of her one-woman show and the oils she creates. Although each one has a sliver of her soul, she will scrap it and start again if she’s not happy with a blend. She will never put out a subpar product. Ever. When she says her oils are pure, she means it. Zero alcohol, water, or crazy words you can’t pronounce. Not all oil perfumes and colognes are created equal. Know what you are putting on your skin.

About the Founder
Green Tree’s Founder, Lance Nybye Jr., started pondering the idea of creating puzzles when his wife and business partner, Autumn, asked him to do puzzles for their son with autism to help with visual reception and fine motor skills. Lance was inspired to design puzzles after crafting a giant puzzle for their son’s school art auction. Since Lance’s father started Green Tree’s parent company over 30 years ago using the same jigsaw machine used to create puzzles, it’s only fitting that Green Tree supplies puzzles today.
About the Company

Face Toner
Face Toner
meow meow tweet
Made in Brooklyn, NY
Product Details
Geranium Palmarosa Face Toner is a balancing toner that works for all skin types but is especially helpful for oily and combination skin.
A good toner is foundational. It’s like using excellent olive oil or salt when cooking—the final dish will be much more delicious. It might seem somewhat unnecessary to add that little mist or gel to your face before your “real” hero (face oil! skin balm!) goes on—but toner is one of the most supportive and beneficial things you can do to put on your face. It makes all of the other ingredients sing and has beneficial properties in its own right.
Use & Care
Spritz on a clean face before applying oil or balm when getting ready for day or night.
About the Founders
Meow Meow Tweet was founded in Brooklyn in 2009 by Tara Pelletier (she/they) and Jeff Kurosaki (they/them).
The pair, who met in art school in Michigan, possess an innate openness and curiosity that led them to wonder why a gift of handmade soap left their skin feeling so much better than a commercial bar. Together, they learned everything they could about making soap at home. The result was a creamy, skin-nourishing formula that received accolades from family & friends. Bolstered by the positive feedback, they went on to found their all-natural vegan apothecary Meow Meow Tweet, named for their two beloved cats and Jeff’s bird.
From soap to natural insect repellant and deodorant cream to a complete facial regime, Meow Meow Tweet is committed to creating pure, all-natural, plant and mineral-based formulas. Drawing on Tara’s background as a chef and herbalist, all goods are developed as if they were modern culinary dishes. All packaging features whimsical illustrations by Jeff.
Along with Meow Meow Tweet, Tara and Jeff work together as a collaborative artist team, where they create sculptures, music, and performances. The team relocated to the Hudson Valley in the beautiful Catskill Mountains during the winter of 2015. Surrounded by nature, they continue to find inspiration to infuse into their art and their cherished brand.
About the Company
Meow Meow Tweet is a vegan personal care company for everybody. They are ethical, low-waste, handmade, and cruelty-free.
They create all products in small batches.

About the Founders
Jenn and Laith are a husband and wife team, passionate about nature and earth-friendly living.
Through J&L Naturals, they hope to make sustainable and ethical living easier and more accessible to people. You won’t have to choose between the planet and your products.
HOW THEY STARTED…
Jenn dealt with chronic acne for 15 years. After countless failed attempts to improve her condition using commercial antibiotics and topicals, she felt devastated and decided to try less conventional methods.
She fell down a rabbit hole of learning about natural healing. Eventually, she deeply understood her condition and how certain natural ingredients could affect it. She ended up trying a natural face salve, and lo and behold — it worked better than anything she had ever tried. Yes, including expensive serums and medical treatments!
Shortly after, Laith developed a rash on his underarms from deodorants made with harsh chemicals. So she thought, ‘could I try the same nature-based approach?’ She experimented with an aluminum-free deodorant, which worked like a miracle! This was their lightbulb moment.
Proud of their handmade, natural creations, they began making products for their friends and families,, each according to their unique skin types. But as they began to produce more batches, they noticed another problem: the plastic containers that started accumulating.
They realized that appreciating natural ingredients goes hand in hand with caring for nature, so they decided to do something about it! J&L Naturals is their way of harnessing the best of nature to help others while also helping the earth.
About the Company
J&L NATURALS WAS FOUNDED FOR ONE REASON: TO PROVIDE A BETTER, SIMPLER, AND MORE SUSTAINABLE WAY TO SHOP.
The founders are firm believers that this planet has everything we need. That’s why they focus only on natural, simple ingredients. No sneaky chemicals. No unnecessary fragrances. And nothing else that shouldn’t be in products in the first place.
They also believe it’s not enough to just take from nature — you have to care for it too. At every step of their business, they’re committed to practicing sustainability and responsibility — from zero-waste containers to partnering with eco-conscious manufacturers.
They are big on Sustainability
The founders follow these 5 main principles:
- Refuse – Just say no to unnecessary waste. This can take time and practice, but making smarter purchasing decisions, setting standards, and having higher expectations can make it much easier.
- Reduce – Less is more. Reducing the dependency on harmful, wasteful, and non-recyclable products results in less waste in landfills and our environment.
- Reuse – Think before you throw away. Single-use plastics have created somewhat of a “throw-away” culture. Instead, re-use what you can as much as it can be reused.
- Repurpose – Let the creative juices flow. Give those weird, random things a second life or another purpose. Once you know what to look for, the possibilities are truly endless.
- Recycle – Last but not least! Once you have gone through the above items, it’s time to part ways. Make sure to recycle—this is the most environmentally-friendly waste disposal method.
Regarding sustainability in their business, they carried over these same principles.
No detail left behind, no corners cut, just simple, natural eco-friendly alternatives to the products out there today.
