    I got the Slug Balm from a Thingdrop after having my eye on it for a while. I'm an esthetician and a big fan of slugging but I usually do it with an oil or bag balm so I was excited to try something made specifically for slugging and the ingredients looked nice for what it is. The texture reminds me of coconut oil where its more solid but as soon as you work with it it turns into an oil. You definitely need less than you think you do and it's a bit sticky on the skin when you first apply it. Over all I was underwhelmed but not unhappy with it. I will continue to use it but I won't repurchase the balm, although I'm still interested in trying the cream which has some nicer ingredients in it. I also really love the branding and packaging.

    I had been bored with the hair products I was using and I was initially drawn to the vibe of this line, but I've been really loving the California Naturals shampoo and conditioner! I can feel the shampoo cleansing my hair and scalp really well but my hair is never stripped or dry, and I love how thick the conditioner is. I have very dense wavy hair that tends to poof up if it's unhappy, but I've only been having good hair days since I started washing my hair with these products and I can even go an extra few days in between washes! I'd love to see a dry shampoo or hair powder from this brand.

    I love love love Whiny Baby!!!! After I discovered them on Instagram I knew I needed to try but ordering alcohol in the mail is a pain in the butt so I put it in the back of my mind for a little bit, and not even a month later they announced that they would be launching in some huge stores!! I visited my BevMo twice a week until it was finally on shelves and was able to pick up a bottle of Obsessed. It happened to be right before a girl's night so I brought it with me and all of my friends (and myself) were truly obsessed with it. The conversation starter was so fun and actually sparked some fun chats, and we loved writing down our memories on the back label and sticking it on the fridge. Not only is it the cutest and funnest wine you've ever seen, it's delicious too. I've never had a red that was so fruit forward without being flavored or sweetened. I've gone through a few bottles of Obsessed and have yet to try the other blends but I've heard from friends that Unwind is great. As a Cancer the name also makes me feel very seen 🦀 Whiny Baby forever

    I got the Coconut Lemongrass Curry and the Garlic Black Pepper flavors from Whole Foods with the Trythings offer. The Coconut Lemongrass was amazing, I knew it would be my favorite but it really didn't disappoint. The Garlic Black Pepper was less great though. I didn't love the texture of the sauce and I thought the flavor was just alright. I think it would have been better if the sauce and the noodles were tossed together over heat on the stove rather than mixed in the bowl like the directions said. Overall I enjoyed eating these, and I would definitely try more flavor and repurchase the Coconut Lemongrass noodles, but I do wish they were just a little less costly.

    This thingdrop couldn't have had better timing! My boyfriend's suitcase handle broke and he's been using mine but we have separate travel coming up and getting a new one was not something he was excited about since a good suitcase can be expensive. This one arrived quickly, its lightweight but feels strong and sturdy, and the color looks great and will be soo helpful when picking it up if we check it in. I actually like the inside more than mine, when it's time for me to upgrade Atlantic will be a top contender!

    I got the Sichuan Chili Crisp from the Try Things program and I will definitely be purchasing it when I run out! It's not what I was expecting, most chili crisps I've tried have been lots of little crunchy bits suspended in bright red oil, but this one has lots of different textures in it (including some larger chewy pieces that I found out are fermented black beans!!) and you have to dig down to the bottom of the jar and stir it up to get the good stuff. It's not too spicy and has a nice savory and almost smoky flavor. It does cost quite a bit more than the chili crisp products I've been buying from H Mart most of my life but for me they all last forever anyways so it's not the worst scenario. Next I really want to try the Chengdu Crunch!

    I just opened my first can and had to take a break from working to write this- it's so good! I've never been a big soda drinker but I still want something a little more than sparkling water sometimes and without caffeine. I've tried Poppi and Olipop plenty of times and tried so hard to like them but I can't get over the Stevia aftertaste. This is just as healthy as either of those (or similar) options but tastes much better while still without adding extra sugar. I'm drinking Strawberry Rhubarb right now but I also bought Wild Berries & Lime which I can't wait to try. I'll definitely be buying these regularly!!

    I really really love this. I'm a very sleepy person and I don't always want an entire coffee/energy drink so I had my eye on this and was super excited to see it as a Thingdrop. My variety pack came with mint, berry, and sour flavors. When I first received it I tried 1-2 sprays of each and while they are on the bitter side, I didn't find them gross like some people are reviewing them as, although berry isn't my favorite. Those 3 sprays definitely perked me up a bit after work when I had some errands to run but there were no jitters, no crash, and I had no problem getting to sleep on time. I can see myself keeping these on hand.

    Shots go down very easy but I wouldn't necessarily call it a "good tequila". I don't think I'll repurchase at full price but it does the job and it's probably one of my favorite label designs on a tequila.

    I looooove this stuff Branding: 10000/10, even the packing slip was on theme! It's such a specific aesthetic but it's one that I love. They lean into it so well and get every last detail in on it. Classic Lotion SPF 30- I really like this stuff! I'm an esthetician so I never skip sunscreen and have tried more than I can keep track of. I was a little worried since it has coconut oil in it but so far nothing has caused any congestion. The fragrance is nice, if you're sensitive I can see it being too much like some reviews have stated, but for me I don't smell it on my face after I'm done applying it. I describe it as smelling like sunscreen in the sun at the beach- it has hints of Banana Boat with some watery and warm elements to it. Super Spritz- I like trying new products for reapplying sunscreen throughout the day so this launch is what made me finally pull the trigger to place the order and get everything I've had my eyes on. It smells nice and fresh, and the sprayer lets off a perfect mist. It did burn my lips a little bit but that's something I also experienced with the Supergoop (Re) Setting spray. Well Tipped Pool Boy candle- This was a bit of an impulse add. It smells similar to the sunscreen but with some musky notes. I haven't lit it yet but it smells great although it was a bit messy when it arrived.

    Overall I love the branding and I can't wait to try the Chardonnay Oil and Classic Whip!
