DAILY DOSE
Who We Are: Daily Dose CBD Inc. is a small family business based in Monmouth county, NJ. The company was passionately created by owners, operators, & life-partners Connor Kelly & Kelsey Barnickel. These yin-yang twins first worked alongside one another as kennel technicians back in 2016 & quickly came to lead as management within that same pet boarding & dog daycare facility for the following 2 years. While on the clock, the two took a particular affinity to working with dogs that carried negative social histories, extreme anxieties, & incredibly soulful geriatric dogs that came with an arsenal of medications & health issues.
Off the clock, the two buried their brains in anything they possibly could to improve the lives of their own animals, particularly their youngest dog. Enzo is a 3 year old Newfoundland who was blessed with a wild attitude, 𝐠𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭hair & one WONKY front right leg! He was born with a bone deformity that caused his leg to bow & twist during his very rapid growth spurt. This has, sadly, left this big lovable guy with a fair amount of daily discomfort & a propensity towards arthritis, even at a very early age. When it comes to arthritis, cartilage can’t be regenerated as fast as it’s wearing off &, because of that, the bony layer becomes more exposed to inflammation. OUCH!
Alternative plant medicine had always been of personal interest, but while at the kennel the two began to see various brands of CBD coming in with overnight guests for a variety of issues. After an exhaustive search within the very large & mysterious world of CBD & no brand to stand by to treat Enzo confidently, the great experiments began & Daily Dose CBD was born.
What We Do: At Daily Dose CBD Inc., we strive to create the purest Full Spectrum CBD products for you & your pet to enjoy. We personally craft each small batch of signature oil from the finest distillate in the USA & hand-make every product to ensure a quality experience.
Our Full Spectrum products provide the user with a healthy dose of CBD along with an entourage of various cannabinoids. Daily Dose’s craft oils do contain trace amounts of THC that fall well under the legal limit of .3% by weight. These products are non-psychoactive. We stand by the power of all these natural compounds & believe that, when working alongside one another, they offer maximum benefits.
With third-party lab results made readily available to the public, your journey towards wellness & our relationship begins with your peace of mind.
Why We Do It: “Today you; tomorrow me.”
We are all here for one another, & we will stand here alongside you for as long as we possibly can. We believe that absolutely everybody deserves the right to affordable options for their health. The current market is clouded by too much greed & misinformation; we are going to change that as much as possible. We want to build an EDUCATED COMMUNITY of like-minded hearts to grow alongside of.
Who We Love:
Pulp in Asbury Park! They have been undergoing the big switch to their new home on the corner of Summerfield & Emory, but we can’t WAIT for those doors to re-open just in time for Summer; hand down our favorite way to start the morning is with a smoothie & the beach.
Obviously, we are dog obsessed & take great care when it comes to our own. Whenever we are stuck in long production days at the office or working events that are not dog friendly, we rely HEAVILY on our dog-tribe. Good Boy Training Asbury Park is on the scene to make sure our dudes are exercised (not hard…), happy & healthy. The team over at Dapper Dog Spa in Ocean Grove spoils their pampered little paws rotten & sends them home lookin’ SO fresh after a long day. These dogs live the life, & that makes us the happiest people on earth.

FREEDOM ROCKS
Who We Are: Founded in April of 2019 by Danielle Angel, Freedom Rocks is a local online and mobile crystal shop that specializes in high-quality and hand selected crystal collections from around the world.
What We Do: Our goal is to be able to offer these high vibe crystals to New Jersey communities at affordable prices. Crystals are tools for healing and they should be accessible to ALL.
Why We Do It: Freedom Rocks was founded from a deep desire to help people. After experiencing the potent healing power of crystals in her own life, Danielle began to research all she could about crystals, including why and how they work. At the same time, she realized how difficult it was to find crystals in her area that were reasonably priced. That’s when the Idea of Freedom Rocks was born.
Who We Love: Time and time again my husband and I return to Pascal and Sabine in Asbury Park. The food and atmosphere make for the perfect date night. I also recommend Frankincense essential oil by Laura of Legit Oils. I use it everyday as part of my morning practice and routine. She also teaches free essential oil workshops at Metta Yoga weekly.
KISMET ACUPUNCTURE
Who We Are: Kismet Acupuncture & Apothecary in Kenilworth, NJ
What We Do: I fix things you didn’t even know were wrong by encouraging your bodies’ healing processes. Why We Do It: I do it because acupuncture is a three-thousand-year-old healing modality that has been practiced on every continent of the world – so it must work! I do it because I see how people heal using Chinese medicine every day – pain gets better, women get pregnant, depression lessens, stress is alleviated and so much more. I do it because this is what I was meant to do!
