I Never Believed In Hemp Products Until I Found Brandless

I'm someone who really believes in the good old-fashioned methods for staying healthy and stress-free; 8 hours of sleep a night, plenty of water, and a decent amount of exercise.

I try my hardest to live by these best practices, but you know how it is, life gets in the way! I love my job, but it requires a lot of long hours, and I don't always have the time to go for an evening stroll or do any of the things that help me mellow out.

I read a ton of lifestyle blogs, always on the lookout for tips and tricks to feel my best, and everywhere I look, people are talking about Hemp products non stop.

Am I the only person in the world that doesn't use Hemp products?! I just don't see the point.

Like, how calm will it really make me feel? I'd rather just drink a glass of wine and call it a day. I'm all for anything that's not harmful and makes people feel good, but I really think that Hemp is having nothing more than a placebo effect on people.

I recently voiced this opinion at the office and got heckled to death- literally, someone from every department takes Hemp products in some form, and for a lot of different reasons. I'm still not sold.

Amy, who sits next to me, is someone who used to radiate stress, but had totally chilled out the last few months. I assumed it was due to the pay raise and new man in her life, but she told me it was the Hemp oil that had helped to totally transform her outlook on life.

Let me tell you, this girl would freak out over the smallest thing, and she had been like a new person. I asked where she got it and how she even knew what type to get, and she told me that Brandless had made figuring it out so easy for a Hemp rookie like her.

I pulled up their site and immediately liked that they had a quiz that helps you find the best product for you. As I said, I have no idea about any of this stuff, and I still didn't even know if I wanted to try it, but I was curious, so I took the quiz.

They asked what I wanted to use it for: ease stress, promote rest, tick, tick. They also asked if you prefer oils, balms, or capsules. Amy swears by the drops, but I figured I'd hate the taste, so I picked capsules.

I saw products pop up from brands I recognized from the blogs like Plant People and Sunsoil. I clicked on the Plant People "Be Calm" capsules, and I saw that they "Promote balance & calm the mind while maintaining alertness," I have to admit I was starting to thaw.

I'm definitely stressed on a daily basis, but I gotta be on top of my game, so I liked that I could feel calm without feeling tired or drowsy. Amy explained that Hemp products sometimes have tiny amounts of THC, the part that makes you feel high or out of it, but the capsules I was looking at it didn't even have any. I don't know if it was the particularly stressful work week or Amy radiating positive vibes, but I decided to try it.

I got the Plant People Be Calm capsules for $59, and was ready to prove the whole office wrong. I got 20% off after I entered the coupon code at check out, plus free shipping because my order was over $48, which made the deal a lot sweeter.

The following week, I was up against a tight deadline at work. I took a capsule, not knowing what to expect, and as much as I hate to admit it, I felt a lot better. . I felt like it helped me to remain calm and stay focused, and I was able to be super productive and make my deadline. I can't believe I haven't been using Hemp products this whole time.

I'm now a total believer, and the office still hasn't let me live it down. I take the capsules when I'm feeling overwhelmed, so a jar of the Plant People Be Calm capsules usually lasts me a few months.

The Brandless site made it so easy to know which type of Hemp products to try.

I now take their Plant People Drops + Sleep, and they really help me get a restful night. As I said, I hate taking drops, but the flavor is actually nice.

I still try to exercise as much as I can and take time to relax, but when I'm at work and having a hard day, it's a total game-changer. I told my mom about Brandless, and she found a great balm from Plant People that helps ease the discomfort in her joints. I really thought Hemp based products were just another fleeting health fad, but it's become an essential part of my routine. I still get smirks from Amy every time she sees me take a capsule!
