    This is one of my favorite brands for coconut water. It’s sweet and has a beautiful natural pink color that lends it the feel of a higher quality version. Access and price can be a bit of a challenge, but well worth it to buy it when you can. I recently found out they have other products, and I can’t wait to try them!

    There is a good variety and I’m sure they are working to expand to even more traditional candy alternatives. I love these as a healthier option that help to curb my sweet cravings, however I don’t think they are a perfect substitute. They do not always satisfy my sweet tooth and the texture and fake sugar taste are not always appealing. Price can also be a bit high, but I’ve seen them in sale plenty of times to make it more affordable and to stock up during those times. Overall, I think they are a great alternative to try out!

    Simply Gum

    I really like the concept of this gum, but it could be better in execution. Upon first look, it was definitely not what I was expecting and is a little off putting at first. Not that big of a deal though. However, it is really tough to chew through the first several times, and by the time it softens up, all but a slight hint of the flavor seems to be gone. Again, I love the concept of this gum, but maybe something could be done about the flavor? The other factors are easily overlooked if the lasting flavor of the gum could compare to traditional gum. I do like the packaging, however, and the flavors are fun while they last!

    I have two of the bags that were gifted to me on separate occasions. They are both really cute, but I am not sure if I would justify spending quite so much money on a bag, considering it doesn’t seem to have that much of a quality difference and there isn’t anything particular unique in its function. That being said, the bags and luggage are incredibly cute and I’ve seen some of the more unique functions being represented in the products that I don’t own. I would like to try some of their other products, especially the luggage and the Weekender bag, which I feel may be worth the price point more in terms of functionality and appearance, and would potentially change my opinion on this company as a whole. If traveling in style is important to you, then maybe give this brand a go as the products are very pretty, but if you’re looking for something more functional and spacious, I think you could get a bag of similar quality at a bit of a lower price point.

    Although I am not an expert on floss by any means, I love this stuff. It is much thicker than traditional floss, and while I was worried about that at first, it has actually been a wonderful factor because it doesn’t fray as easily while flossing and I feel like I’m getting a better clean in between my teeth. Between this, the flavor, and the packaging, I am more motivated to floss. I have only tried one flavor thus far, and I didn’t find it to be as strong as I was hoping. However, they have a huge variety, so I hope to try the other ones. They also seem to be a pretty sustainable brand and packaging is very cute! Would definitely recommend giving it a try if you’re looking to improve your flossing habits.

    Scrub Daddy

    I recently gave into the hype of Scrub Daddy, and I am never turning back to other sponge products. I use one for my dishes, and also bought the Scrub Daddy Power Paste. I have already gone through it and loved it. I love the function of the smiley face and the two sided aspect that is much thicker than a regular sponge and gives better scrub. They also have a wide variety of products, can’t wait to try them! Would definitely recommend giving this a try to up your cleaning game!

    What Do You Meme

    I received this as a gift, and my family spent the rest of the day playing it. It is like a fun and more family-friendly version of Cards Against Humanity. It definitely makes for a lot of fun explaining the context around memes for the older players who may not quite get it right off the bat. We had to explain what a “meme” is to my dad several times before he started to catch on, and now he loves to play and is quite good. I would like to get some of the variety/expansion packs so it isn’t just the same content time and again, but would definitely recommend if you are a game type person who loves a good laugh!

    Graza

    I have both the Sizzle and Drizzle bottles and I love them both. Having grown up in the US where we buy huge bottles of olive oil and take forever to get through it, it wasn’t until the past couple of years, that I got to experience truly good and fresh olive oil. In a market where there are now a lot of high-end, but quite expensive olive oils, I think Graza offers a wonderful option for a lower price point. I also love the subtle difference and use of the two different kinds, though I’m not 100% sure how much of a difference the smoking point is to substitute one for the other in cooking, for example. I use olive oil pretty frequently in my cooking and meals, and it took me a LONG time to finish the Sizzle bottle and I am still working through the Drizzle bottle, so definitely a good bang for your buck, as they say. The bottle is also really nice and makes for little mess or drip because it is a squeeze bottle with a nozzle. The packaging is cute which is always a plus. If you’re wanting to experience good olive oil and incorporate it more into your day to day, I think Graza is a great place to start!

    OLIPOP

    I have been looking for ways to cut down on my sugar intake and be more mindful about what I’m consuming, and OLIPOP has been incredibly helpful on that journey. I haven’t ever been a big soda person, but sometimes that carbonation craving hits and OLIPOP provides the perfect solution for those times. I’ve tried all but two of their flavors, and I’m a fan of all of them. In particular, I love the Tropical Punch, Classic Grape, Strawberry Vanilla, and Classic Root Beer. The first time I tried each new flavor I was blown away by both the similarity to their traditional soda counterpart but also by the subtle unique difference in taste. By far the best thing about this brand is the low amount of sugar in each can is paired with a good dose of fiber and prebiotics. In a time when a lot of people are looking to improve their gut health, I love that companies are looking for ways to help out, and this brand goes into great detail to explain what is in the soda and how it can help nourish our bodies. I can’t wait to see what new flavors they come out with, and what path they decide to take the brand next.

    Honey Mama's

    The Honey Mama’s truffle bars are perfect for when you want a sweet treat but also want to feel good about what you are eating. The best thing is that the bars are made from real whole foods that are largely sourced locally. These bars (and the company as a whole) seek to promote the idea that food is medicine, and to me, they support the idea well. The bars are incredibly rich and flavorful, so I always feel that my sweet tooth is satisfied after a few bites. While the price point may seem a bit high, I’ve found it to be well worth the quality and time it takes me to finish the bar. Another thing I love about this brand is the different flavors that they have. Compared to other chocolates and truffles, they have unique ingredients that make for a surprisingly delicious treat as a whole. My favorites are the cherry hazelnut, coffee nib crunch, and tahini tangerine. They have a decent variety thus far, but I look forward to them expanding the flavors with more unique combinations.
