Tried the chimichurri sauce and it was delicious! We sous-vide some steaks and just used the sauce to dip. We spent some time prepping the steaks, potatoes, and green beans so it was really nice to have the sauce ready to go. My husband usually makes his own chimichurri, but even he said he would purchase again. Perfect blend of herb and tang; paired so well with our meal. The pepper flakes really added an extra layer also. Adds just a touch of heat without being spicy. Our kids were able to enjoy it too.

Although I liked this chili oil, I just don’t think it’s worth the price. I agree with other reviewers that the jar is mostly oil. I personally like more texture and crisps in my chili oil. With that said, the crisps are not really crispy at all. It’s like a muted version of the LGM brand (which I love and prefer over this). This one is however a little spicier than the LGM, but less flavorful and less garlicky. It’s still a good option, but it’s much pricier than one that I already use and love.

Overall I like Ole Henriksen products, but some of their products are artificially scented which I find unnecessary. The products from the vitamin C line are all very hydrating and gentle. Not sure they do much for pigmentation, but they do make my skin appear healthier. One of my favorite products from the line is the Banana Bright Primer. The pigment isn’t glitter, it’s not gloss, or an oil. It’s almost like tiny tiny particles that glow and just blend beautifully into your skin. Your skin is left looking sheen and luminous, but not sticky or oily. Can wear it alone after moisturizer or under makeup.

Really high quality products. Gentle and effective. I’ve tried several and really liked the vitamin C. It’s light and absorbs easily. Although it did not correct my hyperpigmentation, it did make my skin brighter which was noticeable by others! The brand avoids harsh formulations, so you can really expect to treat and nourish your skin.

Great natural deodorant! Glides on easy, and smells great. With traditional drugstore deodorant, I was always very aware that I had it on because it came with a very distinct deodorant scent. With the charcoal Kopari, I walk around smelling like a sandalwood candle! Keeps me odor-free all day, even after the gym. They are pricier than traditional drug store brands, but I do believe they’re better for my skin, so totally worth it for me!

We love Warby! I have glasses and sunglasses from Warby, both prescription. The process is really easy, and everything can be done online. Once you’ve placed your order, you can go in to make sure the fit is correct. The selection is great, you’ll be sure to find a pair that fits your style. I do wish there were more low bridge styles. My son also has a pair of glasses from Warby. The employees there were incredibly patient and nice. They let him try on as many as he wanted until he found the right pair. Prices are great. I’ve found that it’s less costly than going through my own vision insurance. Would definitely recommend.

Was a miss for me. There was an off taste to it, almost as if there was artificial sweetener. The texture was weird too. It was a bit watery and chunky, not creamy like I expected. I couldn’t finish the can, because it just didn’t taste right to me.

My skin was raw, red, and angry after a horrible breakout. This recovery balm was amazing and helped my barrier heal. It’s gentle and feels like it’s coating my skin with a soothing layer that doesn’t feel heavy. It’s inexpensive and effective - a great value. The only con was that it crystallized before I even used it. I contacted the company, and they explained that it was common and happens because they don’t include harsh additives that normally prevent crystallization. They also offered me a solution to dissolve the product back into its optimum state, but it was bit of a hassle having to do it. Aside from this, it’s a great product!

So obsessed with these scents! My favorite so far is Myth. It’s warm, it’s feminine, and it exudes strength. Love the complex layers of floral and musk. It’s actually one of the few scents my husband’s sensitive nose doesn’t object to. Salt is another favorite. I love the clean, beachy vibe and it’s so good as an extra layer on different scents. Don’t get me wrong, Bee and Sweet are amazing too, just depends on your mood. The Marvelous CBD Extra Rich Body Cream is a dream also. The texture is rich and calming; the scent, earthy and comforting. I used it on my arms and legs right before bed, and it was the perfect setup for a good night’s rest.

Love my Addicted Belt Bag. Although my phone is a little too big to fit comfortably inside, this bag can hold the rest of my essentials - wallet, keys, lip balm, hand sanitizer, and spf. It can be worn as a belt or crossbody, or be used without the strap. I love the minimalist design, and the quality of materials. So happy I ended up choosing this cognac color, because it really goes with anything. All Parisa Wang bags are designed and made in New York. I only have the one, but the designs are all simple, elegant, and beautiful
