    Patagonia products last YEARS, are generally sustainable, and are cute and quality. One of my warmest and favorite puffer jackets is from them. I love their conservation and sustainability efforts, and that they’re transparent. They are by no means perfect, but they’re certainly one of the best options for outdoor gear.

    Feedback

    Patagonia’s prices are the one thing that makes them inaccessible for a lot of people, but it is worth it in my opinion for products that will last for years.

    I love the idea of subscription boxes and receiving them in the mail is so fun. I did enjoy FabFitFun while I had it, but the products weren’t always things I wanted or needed and it was an unnecessary expense for me. I ended up switching to a different box that had more sustainable products, but eventually quit that one too because it felt like it was promoting a culture of consumption.

    More products from sustainable/ethical companies and from small businesses and artisans.

    I love every kind of popcorn I’ve ever tried by Lesser Evil, but the Himalayan Gold just hits different. I honestly can’t believe it’s made with coconut oil because it actually tastes like butter. It is literally always in my pantry.

    Oatly

    Oatly is the superior barista milk 100%. I have a different brand that I prefer for everyday stuff at home, but as a barista, Oatly is the best for coffee. It foams really nicely and is pleasantly thick. It also has the best flavor! A lot of barista oatmilks are really watery and, well, oaty, but this milk blends really nicely into the coffee to give a foamy latte!

    Feedback

    Generally, they seem pretty sustainable. Oatmilk is a far more sustainable industry than dairy as far as production goes, and I know that they coat their boxes in sugarcane rather than plastic for some of their products. It would be nice to see 100% sustainable and recyclable packaging since I know their milk packaging specifically still contains plastic.

    We love this sauce! All the flavors are great, and it can be eaten on a range of things. We use it as a dip for chips, veggies, bread, etc. and I also like to add it to wraps and sandwiches! I initially thought it would taste too nutty but I think the nut flavor is actually really subtle.

    Feedback

    It is a thinner sauce, and it would be nice to have a thicker option that’s more like a spread.

    I can’t speak to their physical stores, but my online experience was pleasant overall. My biggest complaint is that a lot of their jewelry materials are not consider by many professional piercers to be “implant grade,” so a number of pieces aren’t really meant to be worn for long periods of time. They have cute, trendy designs and make it really easy to find jewelry that suits you. It’s also easy to find the right sizes for your piercing types. I purchased some cute hoops from them, I just had to make sure everything I was choosing was either titanium or SOLID gold, not plated.

    Feedback

    The materials aren’t always of the highest quality. I know it’s more expensive to provide solid metals, like gold, but they’re better for piercing health and the people buying them.

    I’ve been using Native for a few years now, as they’re cleaner than a lot of other deodorant options. I like their scents, especially the Coconut Vanilla, but they don’t linger for very long after application. However, both my husband and I have noticed no BO after using them so that aspect is good! They also have a few ecofriendly packaging options, which is a plus.

    Feedback

    I wish all the packaging was ecofriendly instead of just a few options. Also, be aware that this is just a deodorant and NOT an antiperspirant.

    Girlfriend Collective is my new go to for athletic wear. They have all different styles, and their athletic skirts are my favorite. They’re the perfect cut and incredibly comfortable. I also love that they’re sustainable and have models of all different body types! It’s a little pricey, but worth it to buy a few quality products that are more ethical and sustainable.

    Feedback

    UTILIZE THEIR STUDENT DISCOUNT!! I bought a few things on sale AND with their student discount, which I very much appreciated.

    This was hands down the easiest thing I’ve ever done. I chose the five pairs of glasses I wanted to try on and they were shipped to me so fast. Then, all I had to do was upload my prescription and choose a pair to buy. The process was super simple and my metal frame glasses are SO cute. The price was also not bad considering the fact that I don’t have vision insurance.

    Feedback

    The process was pretty seamless and quick. I would definitely recommend the the at home try on before you purchase a pair.

    OLIPOP

    The idea behind Olipop is great! It’s a healthier alternative to a lot of drinks and has prebiotic properties. In my opinion, the best flavor is Root Beer; it’s the one that tastes the least like stevia and it has an overall pleasant vanilla taste. It’s something that I actually buy fairly often when I want a carbonated drink. I’ve only tried a few of the other flavors, but I have yet to find another one that I really enjoy.

    Feedback

    The flavor of the cola-type ones just remind me so much of medicine and the stevia flavor is honestly really unpleasant. I don’t know what’s different about the root beer, but I actually enjoy it and buy it often. I haven’t tried any of the fruit flavored ones yet, so I can’t speak to those.
