Mike's Hot Honey
Experience
The best in the game and the original hot honey on the market for a reason! I so love Mike's hot on pizza, in salad dressing and in cocktails. 10/10, no-brainer.
Melindas
Experience
Loving the habanero honey mustard. It's so unique and really good. 10/10! Please make more interesting sauces.
Feedback
I haven't seen any more Melinda's products on shelves that I can try! Excited for them to keep growing.
Red Clay Hot Sauce
Experience
I've tried a bunch of their products and am pretty impressed by the range. Standouts for me are the hot honey and the margarita/bloody mary salts. Whenever I have people over for drinks and have those out, the crowd goes wild. I do like the regular hot sauce, but definitely more inclined to re-order the honeys or the salts/dry condiments.
Feedback
The honey clumped a lot for me and wasn't super smooth, but that could be more about the temperature the product was shipped to me at or something like that!
AGOLDE
Experience
A splurge, but when people say these are the best jeans, they aren't kidding. They're soft, buttery, fit well, and have become more size inclusive in recent years it seems. Worth forking over the extra money for a pair of jeans that will last forever and wear really well!
Ceremonia
Experience
I'm so bummed! I wanted to love this brand and buy everything-- the marketing, packaging, and messaging all really sucked me in. The scents and line-up definitely enticed me and felt up my alley. I thought this would be a slam dunk!
Feedback
I bought the thick hair shampoo and conditioner (full size) and leave-in conditioner at the Sephora sale. Enticed by the guava scent and branding and thought that the price was actually great for a full hair care set in this space. When I received the order, I was surprised by how small the bottles were. Explains the price seeming more reasonable. This ended up being the worst shampoo and conditioner I've ever used, I'm not sure I can finish it. It leaves a film on my hair, makes it LESS soft, and more limp and weighed down. Same with the leave in conditioner. It feels oily, not hydrating. The scent also smells kind of like guava... on fire. There's a smokiness. I don't hate it, but it's definitely smoky rather than tropical or fruity. I want to love Ceremonia! I keep getting hit with ads and thinking maybe I'll try again and I just bought the wrong thing... but then I wash my hair and I am reminded how terrible the experience has been. Better off with drugstore shampoo!
Wooden Spoon Herbs
Experience
The Lemon Ginger Immune Toddy is my absolute favorite. I used to take all sorts of vitamin C powders and hydration packets to try to deal with living in a germ-y city and juggling stress and not getting enough nutrients, blah blah blah. (You know what I mean.) These are beautifully packaged and most importantly, they do not taste disgusting! They actually taste good! I love them! I will be buying more as soon as they come back in stock.
Bright Side Beverage Club
Experience
Beautiful branding! For the price per can I was expecting to love it (and also because I love the idea of a yuzu and elderflower flavor combo). The flavor was so subtle that it was sort of just not there at all. I drank it chilled out of the can and then poured it over ice in a glass hoping that might make me enjoy it a bit more. Still not much action! These are gorgeous but I don't think I'd pay for a can again.
Actual Veggies
Experience
I purchased two kinds of the veggie burger. They were good and I like the way they held their shape (unusual among the unfrozen veggie burger options!). They're not trying to taste like a beef burger, and I like that-- the green one would have been nice in a pita with falafel toppings. Don't feel like you have to have a bun and ketchup to eat these!
Outstanding Foods
Experience
I'm a total cheeseball head so I wanted to love the "chedda" flavor! It just was super clear to me these were a vegan fake cheese and they lacked the tang or sharpness I was looking for. I'm sure they're very good for you and I do generally like vegan cheese, but this particular varietal wasn't for me.
Tata Harper
Experience
I have been using the same Tata Harper product for over five years, which tells you how good it is in a world with so many skincare options and so much temptation to always try the newest trend or product. They have many good things, but the one I can't live without is the resurfacing mask. It's the only exfoliant I use on my face and the only product I've ever encountered that actually gives you a noticeable glow immediately after use. I've heard that celebs use it the day of an event for that reason, and I get why. Big fan.
Feedback
It's a tiny jar and it's very expensive. It's worth it to me since it's part of a very limited skincare routine, but I'd love the opportunity to be able to buy a larger jar since it sort of kills me to scrape the inside of this one dry every time. Also, I bought my own little skincare spatula/face mask brush that made application a lot easier!
