Monos
Experience
Monos luggage has a sleek and modern aesthetic that I really enjoy. The functionality of the hybrid carry-on luggage I purchased is great, with smooth wheels and ample storage space. However, the major downside is that the luggage scratches easily, which is frustrating given I’ve only owned it for a few months (I often travel for work, but still disappointing). I expect more durability from a luggage that costs $350+
First Person
Experience
After placing an order for Golden Hour, I eagerly awaited its arrival, but unfortunately, the shipping process was slower than I had anticipated. However, once it arrived, I was pleased with the aesthetically pleasing packaging and excited to give it a try. Regrettably, after using the product for two weeks, I found that it did not live up to my expectations. Despite the product's claims to promote connection and joy, I did not experience any noticeable effects. Even with potentially beneficial ingredients like organic Reishi mushroom, affron (Saffron), and Bacopa Monnieri, I did not feel any increased sense of well-being or happiness.
Public Goods
Experience
I tried Public Goods, and I have to say, it's not worth it for me. While the packaging looks nice and sleek, the products fell short in quality. The lotion felt greasy and didn't absorb well into my skin, and the body wash and shampoo left my skin feeling dry and stripped of its natural oils. Plus, the price point isn't that competitive - plenty of other products at mass retailers don't require a subscription and work better for me.
JuneShine
Experience
I first tried it at their ranch in San Diego and was blown away by how delicious it was. As someone who loves drinking but hates the idea of downing a ton of sugar and artificial ingredients, Juneshine is a gem. My favorite flavors are Hopical Citrus, Acai Berry, and Midnight Painkiller - they're all so good! If you're looking for a healthier alternative to traditional beer or cider, Juneshine is one of the best hard kombucha's out there.
SmartSweets
Experience
Smart Sweets offers a variety of low-sugar, plant-based candies that are a healthier alternative to traditional sweets. While some products are great (peach rings, sweet fish), others need some work (sour blasts, gummy bears). Taste is king, after all! If you're trying to cut back on sugar but still want to indulge in candy, Smart Sweets is definitely worth a try. Just be prepared to experiment with different flavors until you find the ones you love!
Cadence
Experience
I have to say, it's a useful and well-made product. The container features a strong magnetic closure that keeps my belongings secure and organized (perfect for headphones, jewelry, or medication) and they have a sleek design. That being said, the price point is quite high ($76 for a pack of six). Also, I think the caspules are a bit heavy and wish they had more capacity. I probably wouldn't buy them myself due to the cost (I received a set of six as a gift).
Youth to the People
Experience
I gotta say, Youth to the People products are the bomb. They're clean, effective, and work wonders for my sensitive skin. My faves: Superfood cleanser: This stuff is seriously amazing. It's gentle enough for my sensitive skin, but still gets rid of all the gunk and grime without stripping my skin of its natural oils. Dream eye cream: If you're looking for a hydrating eye cream that actually works, look no further. This stuff is loaded with superberries that brighten and firm the delicate skin around your eyes while you catch some Z's. I've noticed a difference Polypeptide-121 future cream: Okay, so the name is a mouthful, but trust me, this stuff is worth it. It's got ingredients like peptides and hyaluronic acid that plump and firm your skin while reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. It's light, but super hydrating and doesn't leave my skin looking greasy - a win in my book.
Truff
Experience
Turf Hot Sauces are a must-try for anyone who loves a good kick of spice. These sauces are bursting with flavor. Whether you prefer something classic like their Original Hot Sauce or something with a bit more heat like me (I love the Hotter Hot Sauce), there's something for everyone. The Black Truffle Oil is also incredible - you'll find yourself putting it on just about anything (popcorn, fresh fries, pizza, pasta, to name a few). The rich, earthy flavor of truffles adds a delicious complexity to any dish. Highly recommend picking up some Truff on your next grocery run!
MUSH
Experience
Been eating Mush ready-to-eat oats for a while now, and I have to say, I'm a bit obsessed. The creamy texture and delicious flavors are a perfect start my morning routine. The only downside? The high price tag might deter those looking for a budget-friendly breakfast option (~$2/cup), but for a truly indulgent snack, Mush is worth the splurge.
DEUX
Experience
DEUX cookie dough is a high-end indulgence that comes at a price - a steep $16 per 12oz container. While this cost may be a deterrent for some, the quality and nutritional value of the dough make it worthwhile for those looking for a truly premium treat. Just be prepared to splurge a bit to satisfy your sweet tooth.
