What Are Hashies? The Story Behind the Cuddliest Aromatherapy Plush

From Trauma to Tranquility: The Birth of Hashies

Some of the best ideas come from life-changing moments—and Hashies was no exception. What started as a personal journey of healing became a cuddly, comforting companion designed to help others pause, reset, and breathe.

Hashies aren’t just adorable plushies. They’re a blend of relaxation, nostalgia, and aromatherapy, offering a gentle reminder to slow down—to take a moment for yourself, no matter how chaotic life feels.

But the journey to Hashies wasn’t a simple one. It started with fireworks, a life-altering accident, and the discovery of something unexpected—terpenes.

A Firework That Changed Everything

Before the accident, fireworks were a source of joy and celebration. Loud noises never bothered me, and I loved the excitement of a big display. That all changed in a single, terrifying moment.

One night, my family and I gathered for a fireworks display. The night was filled with laughter, excitement, and bright bursts of color—until suddenly, it wasn’t.

A firework misfired, heading straight toward me. Before I could react, I felt a sharp impact on my face. A spinning disc from the firework casing cut deep into my cheek and embedded into my skin, just millimeters away from causing permanent nerve damage.

The pain was instant. My vision blurred. I dropped to my knees, shouting for help as panic set in. My husband caught me before I fell completely, holding me steady. My family rushed to my side, and while an ambulance was unavailable, my father—a former paramedic—took charge.

That night led to hospital visits, stitches inside and out, and the slow process of physical and mental recovery.

At first, I didn’t realize the long-term effects of what had happened.

Then the PTSD crept in.

The Struggle with PTSD & Searching for Relief

At first, the anxiety was subtle—just a feeling of unease whenever I saw fireworks. But soon, it became more than that.

💥 A car backfired, and I froze in panic.
💥 A poster of fireworks in a store made me feel physically sick.
💥 Sudden loud noises sent me into fight-or-flight mode.

I knew something wasn’t right. My doctor diagnosed me with PTSD and referred me to therapy. But waiting lists were long, and while medications were suggested, they only increased my anxiety instead of calming it.

I needed something different. Something natural.

That’s when I discovered medical cannabis—and more importantly, terpenes.

The Power of Terpenes & The First Hashie

For the first time in a long time, I felt like myself again.

Terpenes—the aromatic compounds found in plants, flowers, and herbs—had an incredible ability to influence mood and relaxation.

But there was a problem.

I was treating it like a headache pill, expecting relief without actually pausing to breathe. I realized that true relaxation wasn’t just about what I used—it was about how I experienced it.

That’s when Hashies was born.

The first Hashie wasn’t a product—it was a personal companion. A handmade crochet nug, created to be soft, comforting, and infused with the power of terpenes. I designed it for myself—something to hold, hug, and spritz with calming scents whenever I needed a break.

And then I thought… What if others could benefit from this too?

From a Personal Journey to a Community of Calm

I started sharing Hashies with friends. The response was incredible.

💚 A close friend, a mental health nurse, took her Hashie on stage during a panel discussion. She was nervous, but holding it helped her stay grounded and focused.
💚 People with anxiety found comfort in having a physical reminder to pause, take a deep breath, and be present.
💚 Collectors loved the handcrafted designs, accessories, and personal touch.

What started as a small, handmade project became something so much bigger—a way for people to bring relaxation into their daily lives without consumption.
