Moonshot
Experience
I tried the Rosemary Garlic flavor. It is, not surprisingly given the flavor name, very rosemary forward. They're super dry so you need like a hummus or something to make them palatable.
cocojune
Experience
I have only tried the Lemon Elderflower yogurt flavor and found it to have a weird artificial aftertaste. I would not purchase this again, although the vanilla chamomile yogurt does sound intriguing.
Yellowbird Foods
Experience
I am so glad that the coffee shop I stopped in during my bachelorette weekend had yellowbird hot sauce. I had never heard of it before - it's hard to find in Maryland - but it's now one of my favorites. I personally love the Serrano flavor. It gives the perfect amount of heat but is deliciously flavorful. I do not like hot sauces that just add heat and forsake flavor, so Yellowbird is perfect. I also picked up one the Habanero flavors. I don't think it's as versatile, but it's still delicious. You can put the Serrano on almost everything, but the Habanero has been best on Caribbean dishes.
Feedback
I wish it was easier to find in Maryland.
Fishwife
Experience
I love fishwife and am willing to go bankrupt for it. First of all, it's delicious. Second, it's like the easiest meal ever. Make a quick salad, toss it in a rice bowl - whatever you do it comes together in minutes. I haven't tried any of the recipes they recommended, but it's great that those are available. I also appreciate how transparent they are about their sourcing and love love the packaging.

I did find their collaboration with fly by jing to be so so. I would recommend just getting their smoked salmon and adding your own chili crisp to it. Saves you a few dollars, which can then be spent on more fishwife.
Jeni's Splendid Ice Creams
Experience
I really wish these weren't so expensive. The ice cream is definitely delicious, but there are equally delicious ice creams out there that cost a fraction of what Jeni's cost. I also do not live close to a Jeni's location, and many times when I've seen the pints for sale at the local grocery story they are covered in that frost bite that lets you know it's been in that freezer for ages. Given the cost, I wouldn't buy those packages because I would hate for the product to be bad and be out that money.
Fly by Jing
Experience
The chili crips is a great and versatile condiment to have in your pantry. We use it to punch up rice bowls and stir frys, but it's also wonderful on eggs. We even tried it on ice cream, as recommended, and while it wasn't bad, I wouldn't rush to do that again. It lasts a long time too.
Feedback
I am not sure if this is a me problem or a product design problem, but the oil is constantly getting on the outside of the jar and leaving marks everywhere, even after we wipe it down.
Bombas
Experience
I love their no show socks. The nude color is perfect. They are truly no show and they do not move once they are on your feet. These are the only no show socks I will ever buy.
Soft Services
Experience
Love the buffing bar. Made the mistake of going to a work event outside without sunscreen and got an interesting burn which faded into tan lines that clashed with the neckline of my wedding dress. I read about the buffing bar on Cup of Jo and figured I would give it a try to see if it could help fade my tan line faster. It did! I will say, I did develop some bumps on my arms over time. Maybe I was overusing? In any case, I would still buy this again.
Feedback
At the time I purchased it the buffing bar came in packages of 2 bars. I wish you could just get one at a time. It's also a little pricey.
Dieux Skin
Experience
I have purchased the forever eye masks from Dieux Skin. I love them. I love that they're sustainable. I love that I can use them with products I already own. I love how easy they are to bring with me when I travel. I am also interested in trying out the skin care products, but the current offerings haven't been anything I needed yet. I find one of the founders, Charlotte, to be extremely knowledgeable and appreciate how she shares that information with her audience. Yes, she recommends her own products, but she talks about the pluses and minuses of other products and brands, bringing her skin care knowledge to the masses. I wish more companies would be like this.

No notes :)
Summer Fridays
Experience
I cannot justify the pricing of these products. I got a mask pack from Sephora around the holidays. The jet lag mask left my skin looking greasy. It also came with the R+R mask and Overtime mask. The exfoliation of the Overtime mask was okay, but the R+R really dried out my skin.
Feedback
I can imagine they would ever lower their prices, but that would help.
