Wooden Spoon Herbs
Experience
Like many others, the Magic Magnesium has been life changing. The brand itself has a great identity that follows through the website and onto the packaging which is sometimes rare for products in this space.
Pamut
Experience
If you’ve never known the joy of having your clothes tailored to you, then Pamut is worth checking out, their styles are easy to wear and comfortable, prioritizing natural fibers and roomy silhouettes. I find myself returning to their site each season as their clothes are designed to last the tests of time and trend.
Right Rice
Experience
Ugh I really wanted this to be good but it just wasn’t. It isn’t the rice itself, it’s the flavor — it lacks all the creaminess of a risotto and is overly base in flavor. Not great.
Feedback
Go back to the kitchen and redo your recipes. The Basil Pesto flavor needs either a tartness or more cream to balance it out. These might be even better with freeze dried tomatoes or something to add to the flavor profile.
Magic Spoon
Experience
I cannot count the number of times I put an order for this cereal into their website's cart and then decided otherwise; the hefty price tag for a bulk order always put me off. But now you can buy a single box at Target! I was a little taken aback by the price tag ($10/box) but decided it was worth the try and I'm glad I did. I purchased a box of the "cocoa" flavor; dry, it is a bit unsweet and maybe not as snackable as your traditional (read: super sugary) options. But, with milk added, I was transported right back to my middle school breakfast table. There is a slight and distinctly "protein added" flavor in the mix but it didn't stop me from gobbling the whole bowl down. So, is it worth it? The flavor was good but I'm not sure it will be replacing my daily egg-on-toast any time soon. Still, it is good to have around for those days when you are in a rush or craving some nostalgia.
Feedback
I'm glad they are in box stores now; I'm much more likely to purchase. I don't have much feedback to give — I think they do deliver on the taste and experience they promise. The price point seems high to me but I don't think this product is for someone with kids who runs through 3-4 boxes a week. They might seek to leverage that nostalgia angle or beef up the narrative around the flavors to excite and engage customers.
Summersalt
Experience
This brand is way more than swimsuits though I love my sidestroke suit more than life. From classic lounge fits to sweet summer dresses, there is something about Summersalt that feels like it will be around for a long time. The pieces are quality and fit as expected — rare from an online retailer.
Feedback
The sizing has, in my opinion, been super generous and I love that they go up to a comfortable plus sized range. They should absolutely be touting this more in their marketing; finding swimsuits (and pretty much anything) as a plus size woman is tough and what they have to offer is worthwhile. I’d love to see them continue to expand their clothing options as well.
Inoki Bathhouse
Experience
I love a ritual and Inoki Bathhouse is just that. They don’t sell a product as much as an occasion; their playlists are impeccable and the bath products themselves were lovely.
Feedback
It’s a bit of a high price point for each bath to invest in the full ritual package. I wish they sold larger quantities and included the ritual aspect to be used at any time.
Bathing Culture
Experience
I would swim in a vat of their products if I could. The fragrances they use are earthy, bright tree scents that don’t overwhelm. I love their playful supplementary shop items, like pumice stones and sponges. Super cute design aesthetic that recalls a fun, 70’s California vibe. Groovy!
Feedback
I do wish the bath gel had a bit more sud. Make a bubble bath please!
BAGGU
Experience
I admit it — I’m a Baggu millennial. I have maybe 10-15 bags and appreciate their easy design and sturdy construction.
Feedback
Think more about the utility behind your bags. Many of your bags are just a pinch from being perfect — your phone sling isn’t substantial enough to travel with; your cloud bags aren’t sturdy enough for big tasks; your crescent bags fall off the shoulder. Please make some activewear bags — id love a simple hiking backpack that won’t budge when I run but doesn’t need to hold more than a water bottle or two.
Yellowbird Foods
Experience
I almost feel embarrassed reaching for this product; it’s so good, but the branding screams “I’m scared of spice!” Don’t let that fool you though, these offerings pack a punch.
Feedback
The branding! Maybe this is hot sauce for the Whole Foods crowd, but even we need a little edge with our spice.
