I've followed Represent for a while, and they just recently are starting to have more of a presence in the U.S! They recently opened a store in Los Angeles & it is so cool. They have great clothes, high quality, trendy styles, and even have an athletic brand within the company called 247 that is awesome. Definitely check them out!

Absolutely love Magna! Not only do I love the branding, but it actually works! I have been taking a packet first thing when I wake up, and in the afternoon. I have noticed a change in my energy levels, and just having a consistent feeling of being productive. Huge fan!

I really like these, especially with the focus on liposomal technology for maximal absorption. I really like the 'Calm' one, and it truly does have a non-drowsy at-peace effect when I drink it during the day at work. Big fan!

Not only do I love that the bottles are so big and are formulated for the body and face, but they really work! Thee Gleanser is the most hydrating thing i've ever used, on my face and body, and the moisturizer is silky smooth. Big fan!

If you’re like me and sometimes (okay, most of the time) skip out on using sunscreen, you’ll get why I wasn’t exactly reaching for these daily. But then Freaks of Nature by Kelly Slater showed up at my door, and I figured, if the GOAT of surfing is backing a sunscreen, it’s worth trying out. Here’s the lowdown.

Starting with the basics—the packaging is killer. Innovative, cool, and eye-catching. The color palette alone makes you want to throw it in your beach bag just to flex it. From a design perspective, it’s one of the best I’ve seen.

Now, let’s talk formulas. The daily sunscreen (SPF 30) surprised me. It’s a little stubborn at first and takes a minute to blend in, showing up a bit white before it disappears completely into the skin. Once it’s in, it’s clear, lightweight, and doesn’t leave that dreaded sticky feeling. The real test? A day at the beach—and it passed.

The sports sunscreen (SPF 50) also delivered. It’s got a similar consistency to the SPF 30, with that initial white cast that eventually fades with some rubbing in. But, it’s effective. Zero sunburn after a long day in the sun? I’ll take it.

The deep dive moisturizer is where it gets interesting. The texture is thick, almost like an oil-serum hybrid, and calling it a moisturizer feels like a stretch. This is more of a “seal everything in” step—oily, a little heavy, and definitely not one of those lightweight, sinks-right-in types. I used it as the last step in my skincare routine, and while it’s not my go-to texture (a bit greasy), it does its job at sealing in moisture.

One of the standout factors? The ingredients and the fact that these are ReefSafe products—you can tell that Kelly Slater and team put serious thought into making something that’s not just effective but responsible. It’s clear that these products were crafted with genuine care and expertise.

Overall, I’m into the innovation, design, and SPF power here. The moisturizer might be an acquired taste, but props for creating a line that aligns with eco-conscious values and delivers in the sun protection department.

When UNIFORM sent me their Maghrib perfume oil, I was curious but cautious. Perfume oils can be hit or miss, but this one took me by surprise—in a good way.

Initial Impressions: The first note that hit me was a crisp apple scent, giving off a fresh, almost cologne-like vibe. Not groundbreaking, I thought, but solid. Then, a few minutes in, things got interesting. The fragrance warmed up, and I found myself sniffing my wrist repeatedly. It evolved into something clean, warm, and unexpectedly captivating.

Dry Down: As it settled, Maghrib developed a subtle coolness that reminded me of a classic barbershop or a fresh aftershave, but only faintly, like a whisper in the background. This added a layer of depth that I didn’t see coming. The dry down was where it really shone—a musky, clean, and slightly crisp scent that felt both refined and addictively wearable.

Longevity and Strength: This roll-on surprised me with its potency. It’s noticeably stronger than other perfume oils I’ve tried, sticking around longer and maintaining a presence that’s more akin to a spray cologne than a typical oil.

Ingredients and Notes: The fragrance is anchored by apple, tobacco, and sandalwood, creating a unique blend that feels sophisticated yet fresh. The hint of cinnamon and clove adds a touch of warmth without overpowering, while the woody base of leather and tobacco deepens the profile, making it ideal for transitioning from day to night.

Overall: While I usually lean towards traditional cologne sprays, this perfume oil has earned a place in my rotation. The scent journey—from crisp apple to a warm, musky dry down—makes it unforgettable. If you're after something that’s clean yet layered with unexpected depth, Maghrib is worth reaching for again and again.

This is the next level of health inaights. I was torn between trying Superpower or Function Health, but ultimately ended up going with Superpower because it not only does the saem tests as Function, but does additional ones, and it includes access to their Marketplace where you can purchase suggested supplements, home products, and other wellness products at a discounted rate which is huge! You also have access to message the Superpower Concierge 24/7 via text or messaging on the site for any general questions or specific to your health.
The process was so simple, after purchasing, you are given a comprehensive health questionnaire, which was fun to fill out, then you schedule your blood draw and consultation. I opted for the at-home blood draw where a nurse came to my house & took my blood (which took less than 10 minutes)... Then got a text that the lab received them and I await my results. So i'm currently waiting on those & will update my review once received!

I've been taking this for about a month... I don't feel or see any changes, but the brand does disclose that about 4 months is optimal for results... Consistency is key in any supplement. But the emerging research behind Urolithan A is very promising, and is great for overall mitochondrial health. Hoping to see results soon!

Did you know the brand that owns The Ordinary has a body care line? I didn't either until I saw the tab at the top of The Ordinary site! LOoPHA makes body washes (Hand + Body Mist & Serums coming soon) that have some unique scents! I was scent the Broadleaf Forest, Oud + Amber, and Chalk scents, and I was quite impressed.

It takes alot for a body wash to impress me, but the texture of these are incredible. It's so thick but lathers up so nicely, it just feels great.

The scents are all great... Chalk really does smell like chalk... in a good way, Oud + Amber is Le Labo The Noir 29 adjacent and is just an overall cozy scent, and my favorite by far is Broadleaf Forest with notes of "cool cedar, dry patchouli, and warm vetiver" it smells like bathing in a forest.

Overall, I am extremely impressed by these formulations, how they look and feel, and each scent is great... So for me that's a 10/10, excited to see more to come from LoOPHA!

Love the idea behind this brand! I spotted these in Erewhon, and on a day my allergies were acting up I tried the Herbal Rx for Allergies, and I must say they got noticeably better! They all taste great (if you're a fan of functional beverages, I always weigh the benefit over the actual taste, but these were good to me) and they seem to do as they claim. Love the idea of just grabbing something for the issue you're facing!
