    Bitchin' Sauce

    Oh my gosh these really are BITCHIN! SO GOOD! Spread on a sandwich, use as veggie dip, mix into a batch of soup, top an entree - they're really so versatile and delicious. Whenever I bring these out, everyone always wants to know what they are so they can purchase on their own. They originally caught my eye as I was seeking some new vegan dip options in place of hummus -- but I would definitely buy these even if I wasn't in need of a dairy-free option. It's hard to pick a favorite because they each pack a punch of their own. Sample a few, I say!

    Hero Cosmetics

    I've purchased the Original and Invisible Mighty Patches from Hero Cosmetics and have been pleased with both. I haven't felt the need to seek out other brands, as these fit the bill for me. They're not uncomfortable when on, and don't hurt to peel off. When used at the right stage of a blemish, they're also visibly effective. The invisible are definitely undetectable if you're on a video call, and unless they're in the center of your face they'd certainly be acceptable to wear out and about and likely go unnoticed. Would rebuy, and will!

    I was so excited to find a vegan rice pudding and while this did not disappoint, it was also a bit pricey. It's definitely an indulgence at the grocery store, given how tiny it is. I love that they come in glass jars that can be reused, and also appreciate that it's healthier than some alternative dessert options. All that being said, if I could have dairy, I wouldn't choose this over other brands. Pro-tip: Top with cinnamon or pair with a bit of fruit.

    Foreo

    I've used Foreo gadgets for a few years now, and have been pleased with all of them. Transparently, I'm a skin care junkie so this is just a space that I enjoy. Would I say they are must-haves and absolutely worth the price? No. The Luna is my most used and trusty device -- it holds a charge and helps to cleanse the skin. The Bear and UFO that I have are just luxuries, but I'm not sure they've changed my face or skin drastically. The drawback is their needing to be used with the app -- it glitches a lot, disconnects, and it's just a bit annoying at times to always need your phone. Initially, my Bear didn't connect to my phone so I had to work with their Customer Service team to return and receive a new one. Do I regret the purchases? No. Would I rebuy if one broke? Also no. If you do buy, I'd wait for a sale through their site or a third-party retailer like Sephora.

    Athletic Greens

    My day has not begun until I have my Athletic Greens! I'm notoriously awful for remembering to take my daily supplements, so love having an option to drink many of them instead. This is pretty tasty, but I do think it's best enjoyed very cold and with a straw. Sometimes I top it off with a little orange juice, too! Why not get a bit fancy with it?? Love the mini packs for traveling, but otherwise I keep the whole pack in the fridge and have first thing each morning. I've been drinking Athletic Greens for about 4 months now, and definitely notice when I skip a day -- something just feels a bit off. I have found that I even drink less coffee in the morning -- I wasn't trying to cut back on caffeine, I just seemed to be reaching for it less frequently. It's a bit pricey so if you don't love it, I wouldn't force yourself to stick with it. If you do enjoy it, go the subscription route - and get the kit with their green canister and water bottle.

    Warby Parker

    Has anyone not tried Warby Parker at this point?? Warby is great! Lots of frame options, great customer service, tons of storefronts, and they fix up your frames whenever they need a little adjusting. I wish they had some more lower-priced frames, as there's tons of competitors on the market who do, but if you find a pair you love and have a fresh prescription - they're definitely worth the investment. I have a few pairs - a mix of sunglasses and traditional frames - all are great and have held up well.

    Supergoop!

    I really really want to love the Supergoop - Glow Screen, but it doesn't play nicely with any other face products or makeup that I have. I continue to run into issues with pilling. If you're looking to only wear a sunscreen, then I'd say this is a fine choice. However, if you're wanting to layer with other products, I'd opt for something else. As far as how well it protects from the sun, I can't speak to its efficacy versus other products -- seems run of the mill there, nothing too special.

    Sale or special offer

    Branding? Rad. Mask durability and quality? Solid. Formula efficacy? Not it. I bought a multi-pack because I was curious and they had a pretty good sale going on. Ultimately, though, I've noticed no change in my skin after using them and would not repurchase. They had no negative reaction, but for the same price, I have tried plenty of masks that have a visible impact and improvement on your skin. I'll use them occasionally while working because they stay on well, but I've still not even made my way through the pack - months later. They're forgettable, for sure.

    Feedback

    Of note, I also had Direct Messaged the brand on Instagram with a question about the masks I received. They saw my DM and never replied. I followed up, they saw it again, and continued to ignore. That left me with an even worse impression than the masks itself.

    I love me some SmartSweets! I love the peach circles, twizzler-dupe, and gummy bears and worms. Personally, I also love to keep them in the fridge - and they make a great movie snack. I don't typically find myself eating a whole bag in one sitting - but it's a nice portion if you want to. I typically pick at them throughout the day, or have for dessert across a couple of nights. I only wish they had chocolate candy dupes!

    Native

    Native is a great deodorant, but I docked it one ranking due to it's short-term effectiveness. It doesn't really last all day - I work from home and often find myself applying. It definitely won't take you from morning to evening. That being said, it's much better than many of the other natural deodorants I've tried. It's semi-effective, has nice scents, and is easy on the skin. My favorite scent is Cucumber & Mint, and my boyfriend loves Eucalyptus & Mint.
