This month we teamed up with HiVi’s Higher Up community of mothers. We asked them to find the best way to integrate the Ardent FX into their daily routines. Some mothers focused on skin and bodycare while others honed in on savory small bites and sweets treats.
Because we believe everyday is Mother’s Day, we’re excited to share these self-care infusions that any mother can enjoy on any given day!
Kicking us off, Bud Betty an artist hailing from Calgary, Canada shares a double recipe she made with her own mother - an avocado and honey CBD face mask and a complimentary whipped CBD face cream.
Food enthusiast and Chef, Shanelly Pena loves creating infusions to enhance her rituals and routines. With the FX machine, Shanelly shares a vaginal stimulant infusion that she feels every woman, especially mothers will be needing on her nightstand.
