    My dogs looove everything I've purchased from Pupford thus far. The Pupford 'Chicken Jerkey Treats' are the unanimous favorite. It's the perfect texture for my senior dog, as she cannot chew hard treats anymore (soft, easy to cut to smaller pieces), and the younger dogs gobble it right up. Prices are a little high, but seem to match the quality of the treats. The ingredients are easy to read and understand, and the packaging is super cute. It's been about a week and no upset stomachs or tummy issues so far!

    I find the price points do not match the quality. The designs are usually gorgeous and make great gifts to give, but I'm not satisfied with my recent purchase. The Everything Desk Pad is currently sitting on my desk. It will not lay flat and is driving me insane. The cardboard on the back bends easily and the size of it takes up a bulk of my desk. Some of the pads are already loose and coming off. It seems like it was a great idea, but perhaps it was designed for those with extra large desks. And I'm sorry to say that the design treatment looks like something purchased in the dollar store. The Daily Weekly Monthly Planner is better of the two items I purchased. I loved that it included a folder pocket, so I can keep receipts/stubs. The paper is a bit thin, so I can see the writing on the other side when I turn pages. While it's comparable to other agenda books, I don't believe its higher price point is warranted.

    Josie Maran

    I have sensitive, dehydrated dry skin, but I am a ✨well-moisturized✨ girly thanks to a blend of Japanese and specific Josie Maran's products. Her argan oil works wonders for me when I'm in especially dry environments (cold office AC or mountain/desert environments). I've been using the 'Argan Infinity Cream Intensive Creamy Oil' for years and it's one of my favorite product to bring when traveling, as you can use it all over your face and body. The only drawback was the increasing leakage with each repurchase. It does look like they've completed rebranded their look and packaging with new refillable options. I just hope the rebrand comes with better, leak-resistant packaging across the board.

    To be honest, I did not like the 'Masoor Daal' the first time I tried it. It smelled amazing, but tasted bland... After sitting overnight in the fridge, I warmed up another portion the next day, and WOWZA it was as though all the flavors had quadrupled. It was warm, comforting, and absolutely delicious! Pros: ✔ Easy to make ✔ Pretty packaging and branding ✔ Tarka oil slaps, 5/5 🌟 (tastes like spiced buttery parmesan oil to me) Cons: ✖ At $10 a box, it's quite pricy for a pantry staple ✖ The boxes are quite small. Added a photo compared to a McD's nugget sauce Due to the price, this is not something I would recommend to friends/family. BUT I will definitely be including a bottle of tarka oil in any food lover's holiday gift this year 🎁

    I did not expect to love the Nori Trim. I thought it would be just a step above the cheap, alternative ones that you find online, but it's a really well designed product ✨ I have several pairs of pricy leggings that have pilled on the inner thighs. Very unsightly, but not enough to replace them. The Nori shaved off the pilling gently and quickly, with almost no pressure needed from my hand. It didn't cut through the fabric or make any tears (like the cheap alternative one did) The size is larger than expected, but it fits ergonomically in my hand. I went over 3 leggings and 2 sweaters before I had to empty it, and my hand did not cramp up. I also used it on my throw pillows (photo attached). Pros: ✔ Very easy to use ✔ Easy to clean ✔ Works right out of the box ✔ Rechargeable ✔ Includes a storage bag (but the box is also gorgeous enough to keep and stow it in) Cons: ✖ Lint holder compartment was a bit difficult to open at first ✖ Wish the magnetic lid 'snapped' more into place

    I currently use a carabiner to clip a collapsible silicone bowl to a reusable water bottle. I have small dogs and we go hiking every weekend. I bought this with the intention of using it for hikes. Pros: - Sits upright and can sit on the ground on its own - Intuitive to use - My dogs knew immediately it was for them - Solid carabiner included to attach to a tote or hiking bag Cons: - Maybe I'm just weak AF, but the bottle it not super easy for me to squeeze and hold tight while my dogs take their time drinking water - The plug lock at the bottom of the bowl: It requires sticking your hands into the water to lock. So if your dogs have already been drinking the water, your hands will get wet/slobbery. Wish there was a button you could press instead to lock it in place. - The mini is still quite bulky. I wish it were collapsible like my other dog drinking bowl All in all, it's a neat little invention and works well. But I think I'll be keeping this specifically for car rides and road trips. It's personally too bulky for what I had intended to use it for.

    Cuter than expected! The material feels durable, well-crafted, and made of double-layered neoprene fabric. I gave it a test run and it was a perfect fit for a medium boba drink. I can't really vouch for its insulation just yet, but major plus for not needing a ton of napkins to soak up the sweat. Since I don't usually grab iced coffee on the go, I've been using the JavaSok at home with my 20oz glass water bottle. It's a tad bigger than the bottle, but it does a fantastic job of preventing condensation from dripping onto my desk (attached picture). Will def be stashing this in my car (or small purse) for future adventures.

    This review is for the Margherita pizza: First off, the pizzas arrived in a cute orange box that says “PIZZA NIGHT EVERY NIGHT.” Love that! We cooked the pizza according to directions, but cooked it on a pre-warmed pizza stone. The crust came out nice and crispy, yet still doughy on the inside. It didn't have that fresh pizza taste that you get from pizza places, but it was on par with good quality frozen pizzas that we've eaten. Pros: - Crust is on par with other frozen pizzas - Didn't have that chalky/grainy texture that other "healthy" alternatives tend to have - Tasty tomato sauce - Excellent choice for those with certain diet restrictions - High in protein and fiber ++++++ - Zero added sugar - Ready in 15 minutes or less Cons: - No cheesy cheese pull :( Super tasty, great choice for an easy, nutritious dinner. If the pizza just had that cheesy pull like pictured on the box, it would be a solid 5/5 stars. --- I also want to shout out customer service for being so pro-active! I ordered a 4-pack, but was accidentally shipped only 1 pizza. Before my wrong order even arrived, they had already remedied the issue and sent out an additional four. Props to the Banza team!

    Pros: - Tasteless and seamlessly blended with the food's texture - Beautiful packaging - Information booklet is extremely helpful - Helped me not balloon up after eating pasta and garlic bread Cons: - Made me feel self-conscious due to curious glances from fellow diners when I sprinkled the white powder on my food... Which I can understand, it's kind of sus lol 👀 - I was still bloated after eating garlic bread (but perhaps I needed to up the dose?) - It doesn't seem practical for food like dumplings or chicken nuggets, etc I need to figure out the right dose for myself, but I think this product could work really well for someone who experiences food sensitivity and serious bloating.

    Stasher Bag

    I've tried both Stasher bags and the cheaper generic ones, and I must say, Stasher does a much better job at sealing shut. I use them mainly for organizing non-liquid items like snacks, teas, and vegetables. Currently, I'm testing how well they contain smells. I have different loose-leaf teas stored in separate Stasher bags, all placed together in a single tin container. The teas include mint, chai, chamomile, English breakfast, and hojicha. It's been 3 months, and amazingly, the tin doesn't smell of tea at all! The bags are easy to seal and reseal, and the teas remain fragrant. Also I'd like to note: - I'm pretty sensitive to smells, but I've never had any issues with Stasher bags. There's no "plasticky" smell on my food. - I have yet to try them for liquid-based items, so I can't share my experience on that yet. 4/5 stars 🌟 (will update after I test with liquid)
