Salt and Straw

I can tell from the other reviews this is not going to be a popular opinion because yes as far as comparing this place to all ice creams it’s probably more of a 4 star but since salt and straw is a premium, “real ingredients” alternative that likes to claim unique flavours, I’m going to compare it to the others of its ilk. I think this place is so overrated. First, I don’t know why, but it is always slow. It’s ice cream, I shouldn’t have to wait 25 minutes for a scoop. Is the tactic to build a line cause other ice cream places are just as packed and they move you through with speed. Second the flavours kind of suck… don’t be different if you can’t crack it. Olive oil ice cream done well is a true great. The one at salt and straw is more like salty vanilla. Everything is overly intense and just doesn’t hit. Third, I spotted palm oil in some of the flavours. No excuse. The least sustainable and most unnecessary ingredient. Fourth, it’s filled with “gums”. Good ice cream that use creamy milk from happy cows don’t need thickeners. Try jeni’s for example. Even hagendaaz a huge renowned brand isn’t packing their product with cheap thickeners anymore. It leaves a weird coating on your mouth. I live two blocks from one and after my fourth attempt at really trying to like this place, I won’t be wasting my time in line here anymore.

Friends with The Nue Co

I’ve used the nue co on and off for about 3 years now. I love the glass packaging and I love that the vitamins are named based on clear results. I take mood, skin filter, sugar stress and I go on and off the probiotics but just because I think my gut gets used to them so I like to switch it up. But that’s normal. I also use all their skin care, especially when I’ve gone too hard on my other high active skincare options and topical C blows my mind every time. I can’t believe how great my skin is after using this just once. Finally the vitamin c spray is a game changer. I take about 30 single vitamins a day and being able to swallow one less thing…. YES. I love this so much I gave my team of 40 people one for Christmas last year 🤷🏻‍♀️

I love the refil packs but they seem to be out of stock when I need them

Super tasty, a good spice kick and the spice rub they offer is great too.

I wish it was crunchier.

Why am I and everyone else obsessed with this brand! It’s just sunscreen- but it’s really hard to use anything else once you try it. I even used the Chardonnay oil recently thinking i would probably never use it but it smelled so good I use it daily on my legs and shoulders. It’s light weight and just so delicious smelling. All their products are Great. I wish there were more

Feedback

The spray sunscreen is a bit pricey considering it really doesn’t last more than 2 beach/ pool sessions. Not for 30 spf anyway. I would love lower spf in the oil just if I wanted the option to use it as more of a tanning oil. I would love a face higher factor too. Not for daily just for serious sunning.

Used to love oatly, it's thick, creamy, and one of the few plant-based milks thatt doesn't curdle in tea or coffee.

Actually has a high amount of added sugar (7g) because of their process. I would consider that too high for first thing in the AM in coffee or cereal.
