I was introduced to @ninaobrecht and the unique @riciniol line when I was judging CHFA’s Launch Pad in Toronto last year (@cahealthfood ). After sampling Riciniol and hearing Nina speak on the benefits of the patented bio-advanced castor oil, I knew these products would quickly become part of my day-to-day routine.![]()

It’s taken me since November 2022 to grow my hair to where it is today. This will be my third time chopping off 10+ inches of hair to donate to @wigsforkidsbc! ![]()

Did you know it takes 10-12 10” donations to create ONE wig? Wigs for Kids is a wonderful organization that partners with @evaandcowigs to create custom-made wigs for children and teens at @bcchildrens who have suffered hair loss due to cancer treatment or other serious illness. ![]()

A bit about Paige and Julie – ![]()
Paige Cey and Julie Letizia are the cofounders of Benny. After connecting in university and bonding over a shared love of wellness, Paige and Julie hit a mutual “rock bottom” in their physical and mental health. Their symptoms were exasperated by excessive caffeine, essentially sending them into a state of fight or flight. They partnered with a Naturopathic Doctor to create Benny, the energy drink they always wished existed, created with “caffeine conscious” consumers in mind. Since launching Benny 18 months ago, Benny can be found in 500+ stores across Canada, with features in Forbes and Inc Magazine. ![]()
