was given one as a gift -- it smelled wonderful, but I broke out in hives to something in the soap.

My husband ordered me their roses at the end of August because my birthday is the first week of September. They didn't arrive until WELL PAST my birthday! My husband was furious and tried contacting them -- Instagram, text, email, calling. Calls either were never picked up (beyond their AI), or chats were started and then disconnected/closed without ever touching base. The 4 flowers were wilted and had dead spots on them, and I am sad to report that they didn't even make it a month (let alone a year). $200 for 4 roses. Unreal! Should just be called what it is -- highway robbery.

I'm in love with the old-fashioned glass bottles. You can find these in specialty grocery stores here, and they are more expensive than regular brands (comparable to my go-to brand A2). We don't use the regular milk but prefer their smaller single-use flavored kinds of milk (strawberry and orange cream are our favorites). Highly recommend it, especially for some nostalgia.
Copper Cow Coffee

it's awkward to use. The taste is not that good either, and it's expensive. I think that its packaging is clever, that it's already in a filter, but -- it's not worth the money, and it takes forever (it seems) to brew. Definitely better coffees available on the market, but this is not the one.
Stok

Completely obsessed with Stok coffee! I always buy the "green" bottle (unsweetened) since we use flavored Torani syrups at home to "change things up". I've yet to try their coffee pods but am fairly certain I would be equally impressed. Stok at our stores is only about 50 cents less than Starbucks brand cold brew, but the flavor is far more digestible than Starbucks. It's one of the best cold brew coffees on the market, and one where the initial cost is not too off-putting.
Wet Brush

I have several of their brushes and absolutely love them! I can brush my waist-length hair wet, damp or dry with ease. I have also found that if you use the brush vertically, starting at the bottom, then working your way to your scalp, you'll have far less knots than if you used the brush horizontally starting at the roots. Just can't recommend this item enough!
Peloton

My best friend bought into this... (lol -- cult). All she does is complain about the cost of the subscription, the cost of the bike, and the fact that she is literally "butt hurt" after about a half hour on the bike. Her husband jokingly calls it a clothes rack. I've tried her bike, and the seat is uber uncomfortable, and I find it really doesn't offer a superior level of exercise equipment compared to much cheaper bikes on the market. If you are someone that needs perpetual coaching and can't stick to goals by yourself, then this might be your answer. During Covid, this would have definitely been your answer, but now that we are past the pandemic, just go to a gym or the YMCA -- it's much cheaper.

it's water -- in a can -- not a whole lot to write home about, but not worth buying again. I have insulated sleeves for bottled water that keep it cold/cool as needed. Not a lot to say about this novelty. For the longest time, I just thought it was another IPA since it's kept near the single beers at our grocery store (maybe the stockers don't realize it's not an IPA?).
Oatly

I subscribe to a youtube channel based in Svalbard, Norway -- and Cecelia recommends Oatly, so I tried it since I have a lactose intolerance problem. This is disgusting. Its aftertaste is very off-putting. My coffee was horrible. I switched back to A2 milk with no problems. The cost of the product was cheaper than A2 milk, but still on the pricier side. It's a no from me.

These products are high-end and very expensive. They do not do what they claim, as my hair remained the same after using the products as it was before using them. I would not recommend this brand unless you've run out of other options. It was difficult to return the unused portion to the store where purchased.
