Their Opus Grinder is easily one of the best grinders I've seen at this price point and was a huge upgrade to my coffee routine. Its ability to handle everything from espresso to cold brew seems like they're trying too much at first, but each grind level keeps the same level of consistency and quality. It's also super quiet and has a sleek look that doesn't hog counter space and looks good in your kitchen, which is a nice bonus.

Didn't even know these devices existed until I saw the Thingdrop but have since turned all my old sweaters from looking super shabby to almost new again! The blades and rotors are also a good enough build that you can just quickly run through your sweaters to clean them up instead of meticulously holding the shaver above every inch and slowly moving.

A product you think you don't need but actually do. When I first started seeing Jolie ads on in Instagram I truly believed this was another one of those health gimmicks but after two months of use I fully feel the difference in my skin and hair. It helps that installation is simple and that the sleek finishes add a touch of class to the bathroom. Highly highly recommend, you won't regret it.

As someone that generally enjoys sipping Anejo tequilas, I've only ever used Blanco tequilas for mixed drinks. Jaja's Blanco isn't bad though - it's not the most complex tequila on the market, even in the same price/age range, but you can definitely taste the sweetness of the agave with a hint of citrus. Compared to the Espolon Blanco, which I'd say is its closest competitor for both price and packaging, it's definitely smoother and sweeter, with less of the bite from pepper. I ended up turning it into a great frozen margarita. I'll leave a review for their Anejo whenever I end up trying it.

Great taste and texture but even after a few weeks of these, I haven't noticed any difference in me. I have the Lion's Mane gummy made to help with focus and clarity. I still eat these in hope that they will eventually turn me into a superhero, so will keep everyone posted.

Beautiful packaging and looks great on the counter top, but very disappointing wine (I got the Pinot Noir). Couldn't tell if it was the plastic that the wine was in or just the wine it self, but it tasted tart and highly acidic - very much what I'd expect from other boxed wine but the packaging fooled me. If you go into this expecting more than boxed wine, you'll be disappointed, so for this price point my recommendation is two nice bottles instead. I'll be turning this into a Sangria instead.

R.M. Williams turn any outfit into a statement piece. Seriously, I've worn them with jeans and suits and pants and hoodies and soccer jerseys and sweatpants and come off as stylish on all occasions. Each RM is made by hand and masterfully crafted from one piece of leather and are branded as "shoes for life". RM lets you take the shoes in over and over again to have them resoled or professionally re-dyed by hand.

The price point is high but I truly have not owned such versatile, well-constructed and comfortable shoes. I've worn them for 18 months now, including on days with 12+ hours of non-stop standing and they still look brand new and didn't hurt once. If you go at it from a "price-per-wear" perspective, the shoes are most definitely worth it. I highly recommend going in store to purchase though, since they run slightly narrow and need breaking in.

If Tesla were to make a scooter, it would be an Unagi. These e-scooters have a gorgeous, carbon-fibre design, aren't heavy at all, and accelerate like a beast (be warned!). The dual motor model can go to 0-15 in what feels like 3.5 and climb almost any hill but also brake instantaneously to let you take sharp turns at speed. I bought my Unagi back when they first opened a store in Williamsburg and have now gone 1000+ miles on these streets. Still an adventure every time.

The battery deteriorates quickly and barely lasts 6-7 miles, especially through winter! They're also not interchangeable and take 4-5 hours to charge. The charger is as small as a laptop charger though, so I tend to carry it with me and charge the scooter while I'm out and about, especially on a coffee-shop workday.

After years of citi-biking and e-scootering through NYC, listening to lectures from people telling me to wear a helmet, and constantly retorting about how ugly and bulky they are; the Thousand helmet is the only helmet that made me cave. I love their designs and founders mission and wear this helmet on an almost daily basis now for everything from biking, scootering, skateboarding to snowboarding on warm days.

Best quality raincoat I have ever experienced and have gotten a compliment or asked where it's from *every* time I've worn it. The raincoat is thick, heavy, and runs large so perfect to wear as that final layer during winter but also has a deep hood that can let you wear it unbuttoned over summer but still protect you from the rain.
