I feel I am always on the hunt for a good, low-sugar gummy. These flavors are really compelling (love the Guava) but I'm a stickler for texture. The texture is quite rubbery and sticky, making it hard to chew and not feel like it's stuck in your back molars. I'm giving them a 3 instead of a 2 because I find that to be true for MOST low-sugar gummy products and their flavors really are cool. Just know the texture isn't like your favorite gummy worm.

No notes. The best shoe in my wardrobe. I have the Bostons in suede which are my favorite, but I've had strap sandals in suede and leather over the years that I also liked. The Bostons are amazing because you can wear them out of the house or in the house like a slipper. 

I found Sanzo in Austin one year at SXSW but finally saw that my Whole Foods is carrying the brand! I love their flavor profiles, it was my go-to beverage during dry January because they are fruit forward but not artificially sweet. Very refreshing! My only hesitation on a 5/5 is that they are a little pricy compared to other products in this category. Though I find the product to be leaps better in flavor than the cheaper alternatives (eg. Kirkland sparking water) 

Fun party favor I was given on a bachelorette party! The chocolate was high quality and they made for a great snack on my travel day leaving the girls trip. You do not get very many for each box, which was alittle surprising when I opened it. But again, I was gifted the box so that didn't make a big impact on my review. 

The most expensive candle you can buy that is actually worth the money. When I burn a Boy Smells candle it tends to last me 2-3 months. The smells are rich and complex. They have spring-like notes but smell great and not at all like a bath and bodyworks 'sweet' smell. LES and Petal are my favorites! 

The best smelling sunscreen in the whole world. Like your childhood in a bottle! It can be pricy but our Costco just sold a 2 pack for 50% the normal cost. I have used the Spray and the Lotion, but the lotion definitely works better. 

High quality (high investment) coffee tools that work as good as they look. We have had our grinder since 2020 and it's still in excellent condition. The machine looks great on our counters and has various settings for the types of coffee we might run. 

I'm OBSESSED with Heyday's beans! I am not a beans kinda person, I don't reach for them in tacos and basically only like them in chili, but Heyday totally changed my world. We whip these up when we need a last minute dish or side, but honestly over some toast is just great with me. Tomato alla Vodka all the way. 

An excellent, bitter option for the negroni-lover who is not drinking. I find that when I choose to have a phase of "dry" time in my year, most of the mocktail options are juice forward, but Lapo's Negroni had the right bitterness and depth you'd hope for from the wet-version of the drink. If you are an NA negroni lover, know that the Phony Negroni (St. agrestis) is a little sweeter than this negroni. Just depends on your preference for flavor profile. 

I love putting cinnamon in my coffee - hot and iced. But not every coffee shop carries it and I don't want to keep a jar of cinnamon on my desk or in my purse. It's my go-to way to have sweetness and flavor in my coffee with no added calories. These packets are the perfect size for adding to coffee on the go!
