The story of hightail has always been about one thing: helping women take the edge off without losing their edge.

When I built this brand, I wasn’t chasing a trend. I was seeking relief. I was a working mom of two, juggling a demanding career, a never-ending list of responsibilities, and a body that seemed to always be one push notification away from overload.

For a long time, “relaxation” felt like an all-or-nothing choice.
A glass of wine meant I wasn’t fully present afterward.
THC gummies required careful planning around timing and intention.
Coffee made me more anxious than awake.

I needed a reset that made me more myself — not less.
And it turned out, so did thousands of other women.

Over the past year, I heard the same message again and again from our community:

“I love hightail… but I need a version I can drink anytime.
Something for workdays. School nights. Mornings. Dry January.
A cleaner reset.”

So I went back to the lab to build a new kind of hightail moment.
Something with no intoxication, no judgment, and no trade-offs.
Something that still gave you that signature hightail lift but in a way you could reach for anytime.

And that’s how hightail halo was born.

⭐ What is hightail halo? A Non-Alcoholic Calm Energy Beverage Explained

Hightail halo is a functional, non-alcoholic drink made with L-theanine, vitamin B12, and natural caffeine from black tea. 

It delivers calm, steady energy without THC, alcohol, jitters, or crash.

0 Alcohol.  0 THC.  Just a Buzz That Behaves. 

⭐ The Science Behind Halo: L-Theanine, B12, and Natural Caffeine Benefits

When I set out to create a “clean reset,” I wasn’t looking for a placebo.
I wanted something that actually does something gently, naturally, and safely.

Halo is powered by three research-backed functional ingredients used for centuries to support a clear, calm boost.

1. L-Theanine: Calm clarity in a can

L-Theanine is an amino acid found in tea leaves.  Research shows it promotes relaxation, reduces stress, and improves focus without drowsiness. 

Key benefits:

• promotes relaxation without sleepiness
• Improves mental clarity
• reduces perceived stress
• enhances sleep quality

In fact, our doctor just recommended L-Theanine for our child with ADHD to help manage bedtime anxiety. 

In other words: it helps your nervous system exhale.
Which feels like someone turned the volume down on the world… just enough.

2. Naturally occurring caffeine from black tea: A steady, gentle lift

Halo has a touch of natural caffeine from black tea.  Not enough to bring on the jitters, just enough to brighten the edges.

Together, L-theanine + caffeine are a powerhouse duo.  Research shows they work synergistically to improve:

• attention
• alertness
• mental performance without the spike-and-crash cycle of coffee

This combo powers your reset with a lighthearted lift.

3. Vitamin B12: Clean, natural energy support

Vitamin B12 plays a key role in energy production, red blood cell formation, and nervous system function. Many people feel naturally more energized and steady when their B12 levels are supported.

Key benefits:

• supports natural energy production
• contributes to healthy red blood cells
• helps maintain normal neurological function

It’s like turning the dimmer switch up a notch without overstimulation.

⭐ How Does Hightail Halo Make You Feel: Calm Energy Without THC or Jitters

Imagine:
Your shoulders drop an inch.
Your breath deepens.
Your mind softens, but stays alert.
You feel… good. But also clear.
Like yourself, but lighter.

It’s the same lighthearted lift you expect from hightail, just without THC.  You can be sober as a judge and still take the edge off.

It’s a reset you can reach for anytime.
Morning, afternoon, school night, workday, holiday chaos… all of it.

⭐ Halo vs. Hightail: What's the Difference?

⭐ Why Hightail Halo Matters for Women, Parents, and Dry January

Hightail halo fills a gap I desperately needed in my own life:  a reset that doesn’t need to wait until evening.

Our original hightail THC line is perfect when you want a gentle, quick-onset, micro-escape that makes everything feel fun again.

But sometimes… the chaos hits early.  Drop off was a mess, a call went sideways, the car won't start, you're dreaming of a nap that won't ever materialize.

Halo is for those moments.

The ones that require presence, patience, clarity, or just a deep breath; morning, noon, or night.  It’s the cleaner, calmer counterpart that expands what a reset can look like.

⭐ When to Reach for Halo: Everyday Moments That Need a Clean Reset

Halo fits into the real moments of your life, the ones where you need clarity, calm, or a quick reset without alcohol or THC.

• on a school run
• knee-deep in emails
• going all in on Dry January or Sober October
• tackling your looooong to-do list
• feeling stretched too thin
• or simply wanting a pick-me-up without any intoxication 

halo is here for you.

Reset without regret,
