Living a life ever forward means improving our healthy habits to help us have one good day after another. That is exactly what Nick Miller and his team at Good Day have done through the power of CBD-infused beverages. Whether you are grabbing your morning coffee, sipping a sparkling water during lunch or making a sleepy time tea before bed they have a way to help you enjoy those same rituals just with some added health benefits!
Nick created three Good Day beverages to give you three distinct benefits. Cold brew coffee helps deliver easygoing energy. Citrus sparkling water helps bring you mental refreshment. Chamomile herbal tea helps to enhance your relaxation. How you choose to use them throughout your day or week is up to you.
Their products are infused with CBD from hemp extract, which may help reduce everyday stress and support relaxation, overall mental focus, and balance. All of their beverages are made with less than 10 ingredients and contain no added sugar or artificial anything to fit in with nearly any dietary lifestyle. Their beverages are made with organic ingredients to produce the best CBD products on the market.
Good Day is all about giving you the choice to have better days all around—and that means taking care of mental health. That’s why they’re committed to donating 100% of net proceeds from apparel sales to leading mental health non-profits.
