Very cool concept, but I did not find the products provided any noticeable lift to established mass offerings. Found the body wash left my skin feeling like Irish Spring.
Feedback
The formulation could use some improvement to tie in with the branding.

Bought a mixed pack to start - frosted, fruity, cocoa, and cookies & cream. Packaging is great - funky and reminiscent of childhood. Definitely nailed the packaging component. Frosted - not sure about this flavor. Leaves me wanting more. May it's because frosted flakes are SO SWEET, your taste buds are overwhelmed and you aren't looking for flavour. Fruity - the aroma on these is tremendous, and definitely reminds one of the classic fruit loops smell. The taste is not as great as the aroma, but still an improvement on Frosted. TBD on Cocoa and Cookies & Cream. Overall, I give it a 3/5 because I am not sure I feel full, particularly having the recommended serving size. Maybe if I had the equivalent of 3-4 servings I would get there. Makes me think the recommended serving was chosen just to hit the keto target for net carbs.
Feedback
Make it more filling, or adjust the recommended serving size to provide a more accurate picture of the nutrition for a dose that will fill you up. Not sure the pricing is in line with the value this product offers.

Overall, Naadam is really good. Their cashmere is nice quality, although I have noticed some heavy pilling on a few items over the years. Naadam has been a top choice for not only my own personal cashmere pieces, but also cashmere gifts for friends and family. The heavier weight male wool/cashmere cardigan gets many compliments when I wear it, and the cashmere shawl cardigan is adored by my partner and sister-in-law. A cozy everyday piece.
Feedback
The cashmere gloves are very cozy, but the touchscreen functionality could be improved. I also wonder about the wear and tear I am seeing on some sweaters after moderate wear. Lots of pilling (more than I expected) making me wonder about the quality of the original goods.

These are really tasty. Do they have the same texture as traditional candy? No. But do they provide a pop of joy with less sugar? You bet.
Feedback
More understanding of what their #1 ingredient, IMO, is.

Quality hot sauce that provides a different take on a pantry staple. The original black sauce is good, but the Hotter red sauce is dynamite. Not sure the white truffle is worth the extra spend, as the flavor nuance is impacted by the heat and the consistency is more on the oily side.
Feedback
Would be interesting to see a "twice as truff" sauce where it leans more truffle, with a kick of heat. This would be dynamite on some items you dont want to overwhelm with heat.

Love Carl Friedrik's Swanfield Leather Card Wallet in Cognac. This card is the perfect way to slim down your wallet, the anti-Costanza wallet with enough space for a few cards and a small amount of cash. I comfortably carry my ID, work badge, credit card, debit card, and transit card without issue. This wallet slides comfortably inside your jeans or a sport coat. Love this so much I am on my second wallet - not because of quality but because of an unfortunate incident with my dog. The dog loved it so much he ate half of it!
Feedback
Nothing, the Swanfield is perfect.

I first bought the Dakota Large backpack in Storm (Navy Blue). It is an amazing product - lightweight, yet stylish. The separate large zipper backpack fits my 15 inch laptop, while the internal laptop holder comfortably cradles my 11 inch iPad Pro. The are tons of well thought out storage compartments, so many that I feel I am underutilizing this bag! The luggage sleeve and quick stash pocket for your phone are delightful travel additions. I am such a fan I ordered the Landon Carryall for my Mom in heather gray and she's a huge fan!

Neoprene can be finicky at times so anything to assist in cleaning it would be great!

As an early day Everlane customer, I feel the quality has slipped over the years. Not surprising as the brand has expanded its product line to full set of products, but some of the "early day" items like Made in LA t-shirts and reverse denim bags are surely missed.
Feedback
With a brand advocating for radical transparency and workers rights, why did they move some clothing production out of the US? Those Made in LA t shirts were fantastic and fit with the brand ethos.

Bought the Wild One Airline Compliant Pet Carrier (in black) for my puppy's first plane trip. Things to like: - Overall very nice styling with the looks of a weekender bag. Many people did not know we had a puppy inside. The dark screening helps. - The sleeve to slide the bag atop your luggage allows you to roll your pup along, a nice luxury.
Feedback
Things to improve: - The zipper/snap closure system can be quite finicky and tough to operate. This is made tougher should your pup not be in the mood to hop inside. - I wonder if there's any space to better maximize as your pup gets bigger. Airlines can be finicky with their pet rules, so making it easier for the pup to stand up and turn around would be great.

This is the best bed! Super comfortable bed that is both soft and firm. A pure memory foam bed can be too squishy, and a traditional spring bed can be too firm. Maybe it's ... goldilocks? The unboxing experience is also a real thrill. When you cut open the vacuum bag, the thing springs to life. Be sure not to miss it!
Feedback
It would be great if the mattress cover/protector was washable.
