4Period Addresses Menstrual Product Shortage By Offering Highly-Absorbent Washable Period Panties

[ad_1]

4Period sustainable, eco-friendly period underwear.

The sustainable underwear that is woman-owned, tested and approved!

“With the current climate, our underwear is easing much of the frustration among women and giving them the peace of mind knowing they won’t experience any disruption when stocking up on menstrual supplies.”

The massive disruption in the global supply chain industry affects many industries, including personal care and menstruation products. 4Period is aware of the dilemma and is actively working to ensure its clientele receives its essential high absorbency underwear in a timely and cost-effective manner.

With consumer goods manufacturers raising prices due to the scarcity of items, the public is increasingly looking elsewhere for affordable solutions. 4Period has not needed to increase their price tags, with offerings starting at $13.50. Orders ship from Canada within 24 to 48 hours, with consumers receiving items in three to five business days. Overseas orders are accepted as well. The brand also sells on Amazon.

4Period says they have planned ahead with material manufacturers and shipping resources to guarantee no interruption in product delivery. Its consumer base includes those looking for moisture-wicking leak protection for menstruation, postpartum, or urinary incontinence.

“We all recall the recent surge to stock up on toilet paper,” says Cristian Clements, Founder of 4Period. “Now the focus has shifted to overall personal care items, and we see drastic results because of it, with skyrocketing prices and the inability to stock store shelves. At 4Period, we founded the brand to bring economical and sustainable offerings to consumers globally. With the current climate, our underwear is easing much of the frustration among women and giving them the peace of mind knowing they won’t experience any disruption when stocking up on menstrual supplies.”

4Period is a woman-owned brand that has long been at the forefront of encouraging women and teens to switch to period panties for the good of the environment. Women will spend approximately 6.25 years of their life, equaling 2,280 days, on their period. Menstrual products negatively affect the environment when thrown in landfills and our oceans. 4period is an eco-friendly and practical protection option that works to make a difference.

About 4period:

4period offers eco-friendly, absorbent, leak-proof panties with front and back protection for teens and adults. Wear, wash, repeat. Not looking for leak-proof panties? They also offer a traditional line of panties with a black inside gusset.

CALIWATER Cactus Based Functional Beverage by Founders OLIVER TREVENA and VANESSA HUDGENS Hits Shelves At HEALTH-FOOD MARKET EREWHON

[ad_1]

Caliwater cactus water beverage is now available at all Erewhon grocery market locations across California.

“We are so excited to finally be available at Erewhon, one of our favorite organic and sustainability focused health-food grocery stores. It was a dream for us to be on their shelves.” – Oliver Trevena and Vanessa Hudgens, co-founders, Caliwater

Caliwater, the cactus based functional beverage, is now available in the refrigerated beverage section of all Erewhon locations, including their new Studio City location, across Southern California as of November 2021. Erewhon, LA’s luxury health-food market, has been committed to providing organic, sustainable, pure, and nutrient-rich foods and products to the communities it serves, which aligns with the beliefs of the Caliwater brand and their origin.

Caliwater is defined by a drive to create innovative, fresh functional beverages that connect us to the Earth and to one another. Inspired by the lush and varied landscapes of California, Founders Oliver Trevena (Actor/Host/Entrepreneur) and native Californian Vanessa Hudgens (Actress/Music Artist/Influencer/Entrepreneur) looked to their own desert regions to locally source Prickly Pear cactus fruit, known for its rare and potent healthful properties. Their vision – to sip on Cali in a can. Prickly Pear is brought to life in beverage form in their quickly growing canned cactus water product, which is not only delicious and organic, but super hydrating and refreshing, and of course filled with rare antioxidants and digestion benefits. http://www.drinkcaliwater.com

“We are so excited to finally be available at Erewhon, one of our favorite organic and sustainability focused health-food grocery stores. It was a dream for us to be on their shelves, so now to see Caliwater cans front and center, is an incredible feeling for us. We are so grateful for their support of our delicious cactus water beverage.” – Oliver Trevena and Vanessa Hudgens, co-founders, Caliwater

Caliwater is the leading cactus water on the market, pioneering a new category, already top rated on Amazon, and is a purely functional beverage. The functional benefits of cactus water include being high in antioxidants (which is great for the skin), is known to reduce cholesterol levels, offers a natural elimination of hangovers, regulates blood sugar levels, and possess antiviral properties – offering a variety of benefits for digestive health. Only 25 calories per can, organic, vegan, Kosher and non GMO.

The Benefits: Prickly Pear is full of antioxidants which research shows provide a myriad of health and wellness benefits. Early studies have shown evidence of the decrease in cholesterol, specifically LDL (bad) cholesterol. The study showed overall levels dropping significantly. Some research also indicates that Prickly Pear may provide a complementary solution to regulating blood sugar levels, by decreasing regular blood sugar. Prickly Pear cactus has natural antiviral properties, and research has found that it has antiviral activity against viral and respiratory diseases, as well as protecting nerve cells.

  • Proven Hangover Relief
  • Refreshing and Delicious
  • Naturally Occurring Electrolytes to Support Hydration
  • Locally + Fairly Wild-Harvested
  • Anti-Inflammatory Properties
  • Skin Revitalizing Antioxidants
  • Half the Calories and Sugars of Coconut Water
  • Decreases “bad” Cholesterol
  • Regulator of Blood Sugar Levels


The Delicious Taste: Caliwater Farmers handpick the Prickly Pear cactus fruits seasonally and remove the seeds and juice on-site. The organic formula is infused with other natural fruits and nectars such as agave and monk fruit, and combined with filtered water to create the final drink, which bursts with refreshing mellow berry flavor.

The Flavors:

Organic Ginger & Lime

Organic Wild Prickly Pear

The Founders: After 12 years of friendship that formed in California but inclusive of world travels, brand founders Oliver Trevena and Vanessa Hudgens combined their passions and creative visions together for the next phase of Caliwater, the incredible canned beverage they introduced to the world earlier this year, with expansion products to roll out in 2022.

Vanessa, a well respected actress and entertainer, known as a staple California girl, associated with her free spirit, festival vibe and down to earth aesthetic, desired to bottle this discovered passion in a drink that is reflective of her deep love for beauty and skincare. Oliver, who hails from the UK but has been a staple in Los Angeles hosting across top entertainment networks for over a decade, starred in several movies & involved in various fashion and entrepreneurial projects, was excited to apply his business vision with Vanessa to formulate this innovative product. The two were so blown away by the effects of Prickly Pear – A Superfood High in antioxidants, Naturally lowers cholesterol, Antiviral properties, Eliminates hangovers, Amazing for the skin — that they were inspired to get behind a water reflective of this natural benefit.

Alas, Caliwater canned Cactus Water was born. It’s charged with all-around health benefits that hail from the Prickly Pear cactus, and tastes delicious – a perfect combination. A refreshing drink on its own, or paired with liquor, especially Tequila!

Additional celebrity brand investors/ambassadors include Gerard Butler, Brooke Burke, Ross Butler, Gregg Sulkin, Ruckus and Glen Powell.

Caliwater initially launched on E-Comm followed by a roll out to retailers and Amazon Prime, and venues throughout 2021 inclusive of hotels and restaurants such as Resorts World’ Zouk Group properties, Élia Beach Club at Virgin Hotels Las Vegas, Cara Hotel, Ysabel, Laurel Hardware, Craig’s, Alfred Coffee, and many more.

A portion of proceeds from all sales of Caliwater is donated to No Kid Hungry. (http://www.nokidhungry.org) The campaign is one the founders feel very passionate about, which is focused on ending childhood hunger in the U.S. Their mission is to help feed hungry kids in this crisis and all year long. [5 cents from every can sold up to one million dollars will be donated.]

Supreme Origin CBD Coffee Now Available in the U.S.

[ad_1]

Supreme Origin Tolima

“As a coffee expert, I saw this opportunity to blend my passion for wellness and coffee into a great new brand looking to reshape how we experience our favorite morning beverage,” Shattah says.

World-renowned infused coffee Supreme Origin arrives in the United States in time for the holiday season with 20 percent off for new subscribers and free shipping nationwide in November. Help coffee-loving friends and family perk up and relax this holiday season with the gift of great-tasting CBD-infused coffee for as little as $28.

Caffeinated energy without the jitters, Supreme Origin is the creation of premium coffee grower Mauricio Shattah M.D and Nature’s Root, an award-winning, high-end Colorado healing company with a passion for hemp. Shattah has gathered the best coffee strains in the world and infused them with premium organic hemp to produce signature CBD coffees of remarkable flavor and quality. Elevate your morning routine and give coffee-conscious friends and family the gift of a mindful morning brew this holiday season.

Shattah, a native of Colombia, has a background in radiology and oncology and a passion for health and wellness. “Shattah” has become a synonym for coffee excellence. Born in Colombia, Mauricio Shattah M.D. has become one of the world’s most progressive coffee experts, traveling around the globe sharing his passion for coffee. He is currently the president of the Colombian Association of Specialty Coffees. He founded Shattah Coffee and established Finca la Negrita 9 years ago in Tolima, Colombia. He guarantees a premium coffee experience with full oversight of his coffees from seed to cup.

Through Supreme Origin, Shattah hand crafts premium coffees with top-grade therapeutic CBD from Colorado’s Nature’s Roots. The energizing, uplifting effects of Supreme Origin CBD coffee kick in immediately and become more of a constant after two weeks.

“As a coffee expert, I saw this opportunity to blend my passion for wellness and coffee into a great new brand looking to reshape how we experience our favorite morning beverage,” Shattah says.

To achieve this top-grade CBD-infused coffee, Dr. Shattah partnered with one of Colorado’s most famous hemp plantations, Nature’s Roots. This Colorado native company is known for providing exceptional organic and award-winning CBD and hemp extracts. The powerful combination between two leading brands makes Supreme Origin a true powerhouse in the CBD coffee industry.

Give Friends and Family the Gift of Chill This Holiday Season

Supreme Origin Coffee takes the edge off any anxiety you may be feeling and helps you feel calm and alert. Its broad-spectrum CBD comes from a wide range of cannabinoids found in hemp plants that don’t get you high. (That’s THC, a cannabinoid derivative with psychoactive effects.) Thanks in part to pandemic anxiety, retail cannabis sales are growing exponentially. Research shows CBD-enhanced products improve mood, boost focus and help people manage anxiety and depression as well as cognitive health issues, sleep patterns, workout recovery and joint pain. Of course, others turn to it simply for fun and relaxation. CBD works by interacting with the body’s endocannabinoid system where neurotransmitters regulate anxiety and balance the immune system. One of the best benefits of Supreme Origin CBD coffee is that it soothes the stomach.

If that research makes Supreme Origin Coffee sound appealing, other surveys reveal there are plenty of coffee drinkers interested in CBD-infused coffee who haven’t tried it yet — which makes it the perfect holiday gift. You might forget your daily CBD dose, but you’ll never forget your morning coffee.

“This ClearAngel funding reflects our commitment to democratizing capital for women-owned brands.” – Andrew D’Souza, CEO and co-founder, Clearco.

Clearco, the world’s largest e-commerce investor and the company revolutionizing the way founders grow their businesses, today announced that its ClearAngel program is funding Lift&Conquer, a woman-owned provider of durable, affordable fitness accessories. ClearAngel provides early-stage founders with access to revenue share capital, data-driven advice, and Clearco’s extensive network of apps, agencies, and investors.

Founded in March 2019 by fitness enthusiast Laurén Fabello, Lift&Conquer came to fruition after Laurén overcame numerous financial and institutional obstacles. The brand aims to uplift consumers by reminding them that obstacles can be conquered. After successfully taking a spot in the direct-to-consumer market, ClearAngel’s funding will help expand Lift&Conquer’s wholesale opportunities and increase capital for product expansion.

ClearAngel is a new, equity-free, flexible capital option for early-stage founders who don’t have the network or mentorship to raise an angel round or join exclusive accelerators. The program has already funded over 350 companies since its February 2021 launch.

“The world is more focused on health than ever. We’re proud to support Lift&Conquer and help uplift consumers with affordable yet high-quality fitness accessories,” said Andrew D’Souza, CEO and co-founder, Clearco. “This ClearAngel funding reflects our commitment to democratizing capital for women-owned brands.”

In addition to $10,000 of flexible capital, Lift&Conquer will also get access to a network of over 500 investors, growth teams, agencies, apps, lawyers, and buyers; as well as data-driven advice designed to help scale and hit new revenue milestones. ClearAngel’s backing will allow Lift&Conquer to reach new revenue milestones as well as expand its product offering to include yoga mats, gym bags, and more.

“ClearAngel’s support is crucial to our journey in providing high quality fitness products that are part of an everyday mindset,” said Lift&Conquer founder Laurén Fabello. “With this backing, we will continue to uplift inspirational women who overcome hurdles daily.”
