Why We Created Sugar & Kush

We are Laura and Danielle, the founders of Sugar & Kush. Two best friends who started a company together after a devastating diagnosis. In 2012, Laura learned that she had stage three ovarian cancer. However, with the help of an amazing medical team and a 180 degree lifestyle change, Laura was cancer free in just 90 days! Her strength and results opened Danielle's eyes to alternative medicine and sparked her love for CBD. This led to Danielle's determination to help Laura bring CBD holistic health to the masses and provide a platform for Laura to share her story with the CBD industry. From then on Laura & Danielle have made it their personal mission to reach women and men who are impacted by chronic pain, stress and anxiety by introducing feel good and delicious products into their daily routines. Their friendship and passion is what continues to drive Sugar & Kush and the team!

DAY IN THE LIFE

Right out of bed I go into an immediate prayer/meditation practice to start the day with a clear mind. I proceed to check all of my S&K tasks and answer any emails. At some point I make time for a quick workout or a grounding walk outside. Back to the grindstone with S&K calls. I always make time for my hubby and I to have a lunch or dinner date! Work is very important but so is my marriage. I do my best to maintain a work/life/marriage balance.

HELLO I AM: VEGETARIAN

I was a strict vegan for about four years after my procedure in 2012. I am currently a vegetarian. I have done research for myself and found that most meats have a ton of hormones that I rather not put into my body. The benefits I have noticed from eating mostly plant based meals are; a stronger immune system, my energy level are more consistent throughout the day, and I sleep more soundly.

Not all of our S&K products are vegan but we have great vegan options!

JET SETTER

I love to travel! Between my full-time job and Sugar & Kush I travel domestically quite a bit. I am especially fortunate to experience unique places internationally! Since my husband’s family lives in Greece, we make sure to visit every summer and experience new adventures on the islands. There is something eccentric about the European lifestyle. It is important to me that I reserve my downtime for our extended family overseas and make the most of our time there.

HELLO I AM: GLUTEN FREE

In 2012, I developed persistent stomach sensitivity and after several tests I learned that I had developed celiac and thyroid disease. I was struggling to find recipes that did not irritate my gut and I was desperate for options to decrease the inflammation. Laura motivated me to incorporate CBD into my routine and I saw a significant difference in my health while I learned how to manage these ailments. Ten years later there is not a day that goes by where I do not use my Sugar & Kush oil tincture!
