Proprietary Signature Blends are Hand-Crafted to Soothe

the Palate and Benefit the Body

Bringing new meaning to hard candy, Essential Candy® ― using only all-natural quality ingredients ― recently launched delicious healthy hard candy that incorporate essential oils and bring significant benefits to the body. Born from an idea to help those fighting cancer, Essential Candy is aptly referred to as “Candy With A Purpose,” and is available in both Signature Blends and cannabidiol (CBD) hard candies.

Founded by wife-and-husband duo Tracy and Dean Ernst of Wellington, Florida, Essential Candy was created with Tracy’s divine inspiration that she wanted to help a friend who was battling cancer. The candy, which she saw as a palatable solution to the side effects of chemotherapy, is a vessel to help with the Ernsts’ mission to give back to their community and beyond.

Containing no artificial colors, flavors, preservatives or sweeteners, Essential Candy is vegan, gluten-free, non-GMO, low-calorie and low-carb, and is approved by the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services for its CBD hard candies. From purified water to natural organic cane sugar, with just two grams of sugar per piece, Essential Candy’s ingredients remain true to their original source.

The organic essential oils are harvested directly from growers around the world, who are known for their expertise and masters at their craft. Oils are distilled from plants through low-heat steam distillation or an expression process and are thoroughly tested to ensure purity, quality, effectiveness and the highest safety standards.

Essential Candy’s proprietary Signature Blends are offered in the following flavors, which are created to focus on where the body needs support. All of the below are packaged in 3-oz. bags, with 23–25 individually wrapped candies in each bag, and priced from $10–$12:

The Variety Blends Pack 1 (Digestive, Baja, Mind Body Soul, and Wellness) and Variety Blends Pack 2 (Uplifting, Greg’s, New Day and Clarity), both in 1.6-oz. bags, are sold for $5.

Essential Candy’s CBD line of hard candies, which is approved by the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, third-party tested, and features 10mg of CBD Isolate per piece, include Signature Plus CBD with Mandarin ($19), Signature Plus CBD with Peppermint ($19), and Signature Plus CBD with Lemon and Ginger ($19). The CBD candies are available in 1.6-oz. bags each containing 12–13 individually wrapped hard candies.

“The idea for Essential Candy came to me during meditation on a solo bicycle ride. I asked myself, ‘how can I help our dear friend going through chemotherapy?’” The guided message was simply to make hard candies with essential oils,” said Tracy Ernst, who is a vegetarian, as well as a yoga and meditation teacher. “I was alone pushing hard against the wind, and the vision of my friend fighting cancer just appeared in my mind. He wasn’t giving up the fight, and I was going to continue riding along with him.”

“It was a spiritual, uplifting experience,” she continued. “And so began the journey of listening and being guided to help with a little piece of joy in every Essential Candy.”

“What makes Essential Candy unique is the love we have for helping others through our ‘Get One Give One’ initiative,” said Dean Ernst, a serial entrepreneur. “For every bag of candy purchased, Essential Candy donates a bag to cancer support groups. We are happy to further our ‘Candy With A Purpose’ mission through this initiative and offer our all-natural hard candies to the world.”

Five Things That Need to be in Your Resume or Cover Letter

To paraphrase Jerry Maguire, help us help you. As we sift through the paperwork, here’s what we are looking for:

1. What you love to do and why.

In PR, you may love writing, editing, interviewing, pitching the media, researching, coordinating events, networking, posting to social media … whew! While we would love it if you had a passion for it all, we’d never believe you if you said as much.

What part of this zany, crazy, whirlwind, yet meticulous, tedious, detail-oriented, profession calls to you and why? Help us make the connection as to how PR is really for you, and call it your Professional Summary.

2. Something you did that changed something or someone else.

If you never showed up to your last job, what wouldn’t have happened? That’s right. Erase yourself. Now which clients disappeared with you? Which articles just fade away? What press releases cease to exist? How much social media did NOT get liked?

We are just meeting you. So take a moment to spell out your impact, and it will be easier for us to see what you can do for the clients of Durée & Company. Share this under your Job Responsibilities.

3. Anything you created.

Feeling humble? Well, stop it. This is the part where you brag. If you craft a delightful blog, master a mind-blowing website, shoot crazy video or direct wonderful events, show us.

Then tell us a bit of how you did it, so we trust that it was your brilliance and not the intern’s. Let’s dub this Your Portfolio.

4. An indication of why you belong here.

At PR firm Durée & Company, we have a culture. Really, all companies do. To learn about ours, do some legwork. At this point, if you’re on our blog, you are in the right spot to begin learning. Hate pink? Not good with women? Live in Kansas? Low energy? Then you might want to reconsider applying. However, if we resemble a group that you’d like to hang out with, share why. You can do that in the Cover Letter.

5. Correctly spelled words – all of them.

Do more than hit spell check. Know how to spell or ask someone to proofread. Correctly spelled words work everywhere, all the time. Consider them the Little Black Dresses of resumes.

So consider these five tips – we’ve just given you a “cheat sheet” about what we’re watching out for. Even if our position may not be for you, feel free to use our advice for another – it may just get you the job!
