    I've tried a lot of different nut milk alternatives and oatmilks, but most fall short. Oatly, by far, reigns supreme. There is a noticeable difference in consistency and even taste when choosing Oatly for my daily lattes. Love the creaminess that they provide. Gotta ask the baristas if they have Oatly in stock!

    Adheres well (nice texture and not oily or greasy after application) and works well! The texture is not as milky as some of the Shiseido SPFs but it gets the job done at a good price.

    I've tried many brands of dried shampoos, but this one is the best. Applies well and smells great.

    Purchased and have used their hair protector. Truthfully, I didn't notice much of a difference. It did not meaningfully repair or improve the visible damage to my hair or its texture (my hair is not super damaged FYI but has some coarseness towards the ends). For the price point, I'm not sure it's worth it and am wondering if it's been overhyped.

    Received a Boy Smells candle as a gift. We love candles in our household, probably have too many, and while I like the scent and the look and feel, this brand doesn't seem too different from the many other brand of candles we own. That said, still a solid candle and makes for a great gift.

    Probably not the intention of the brand, but if there was some added functionality could make the product more interesting (i.e. refillable service or if the container could be repurposed as a mug or something).

    West Elm

    West Elm is a solid purveyor of mid century furniture that is durable and stylish and that sits in the middle ground for pricing (not IKEA, not Restoration Hardware). Our living room set (coffee table and matching TV console) have worked in practically every space we've been in and have survived unscathed across moves to 3 different cities. The coffee table is also highly functional - the top pulls out into a TV dinner stand. Would definitely recommend.

    They offer staple items with a minimalistic look and feel at a very affordable price. Not everything needs to be a splurge! Their notebooks and pens in particular are some of my favorites. Love having a one stop shop that offers most of the basics that a person needs.

    I've had my S'well bottle for years. Durable, leak-proof, maintains the temperature really well, and features a beautiful marble pattern. It endures well in the dishwasher, and I've replaced many single use plastics with this alone.

    The Ordinary

    Accessible pricing. No fuss, no frills, straight up delivery of simple and essential ingredients for one's everyday skincare. I'd say I've done extensive enough research to understand my skin's needs and which ingredients, as well as the sequencing, that best suits me. That said, even then, I found myself pouring over the shelves, trying to understand the unique benefit to each of the ingredients.

    Feedback

    A suggestion: providing a more useful guide for building a package or combo that best addresses specific skincare needs. The labeling on the shelves within Sephora were not extremely intuitive, at least for me.

    I love their overall vibe and the aesthetic of their products and in their stores. I own the Hudson shorts in pink, which I LOVE and have worn for many years), as well as the Exercise dress (note: received this for free at an event). I appreciate how they've rallied the community with #DoingThings and celebrating all forms of movement. I went to one of their pop-up events in NYC, which included a live workout and dance party in the middle of Lincoln center and was a ton of fun.

    Feedback

    I'd recommend trying for fit before committing. I don't love the Exercise dress as there is zero support in the chest but does not offer enough room to allow for a sports bra comfortably. I've tried on the leggings as well, but the material didn't adhere well to my body and felt ill fitting in some areas.
