I use the retinol, niacinamide, and glycemic acid toner and they allow work amazingly. Have yet to find a cheaper alternative to any of them!

Love going into an REI store. Offers several brand options for gear, but even their brand-name products tend to be really high quality. Every employee is also super friendly and are usually very helpful. Only downside is that prices tend to be high, especially when it gets into specific gear. Very easily can spend way more money here than you planned.

Honestly addicting, I always grab a bag when I see them. I would keep a constant stock if possible

Please put them in bigger bags so I can have more!

I got my prescription glasses entirely through their website, trying a few pairs at home before picking the style I really loved. The process of uploading my prescription and getting them fitted was also really simple, and they even let me know when I had to reupload a picture since it was too dark. It also worked seamlessly with my insurance, which was awesome.
Feedback
I'm due for a new pair of prescription glasses soon and I'm most likely going to use Warby Parker again.

Been using the Play lotion with SPF for a while now as my main sunscreen. So far so good! I really love the smell and feel of the lotion while it's on, and getting the massive bottle is super worth the money.
Feedback
My only tip is to be obviously be careful around the eyes, especially if you're planning on sweating: getting even a little bit in your eye will cause it to sting. I also recommend making sure that you rinse it off at the end of the day for the same reason!

Super convenient site to find everything you need for your pet. I had an experience where my delivery driver kept misdelivering my packages to a different address, and Chewy's customer support was unbelievably helpful during the entire ordeal until I finally got my order.

If you're not using Chewy, you absolutely should!
Flex

I tried the Flex Cup with the pull tab for a few months, and unfortunately I had switched to a drugstore alternative. The cup itself works fine; the material is thicker than other cups so it might be harder to bend and maneuver into place, but once its in it stays in place. The main, glaring issue is the pull tab. First, the tab sticks out very uncomfortably; the website recommends tucking it between the cup and the wall of the vagina, but it will immediately pop back into place after movement. The actual pull mechanism caused me a lot of soreness and pain; the idea is that by pulling the tab, it breaks the vacuum seal and allows the cup to come out, but it would take a decent amount of force to actually break the seal, so the cup would tug the walls and my cervix with it before the seal would break. Once I switched to a generic cup from a local drugstore, I realized just how badly an experience I had.
Feedback
I'd potentially reconsider the design of the pull tab, maybe make the cup less thick so it's easier to break the seal.
Hume Supernatural

Honestly one of the best natural deodorants out there. I know a main complaint with aluminum-free deodorants is that you constantly need to reapply but Hume lasts SO long. I went a full 24 hours before I felt the need to reapply. I went ahead and got a three pack of Desert Bloom, After Rain, and Amber Woods, and all three smell great and work perfectly. Can't forget to mention that the packaging is phenomenal, it's what drew me to the product to begin with.
Feedback
None, excited to see more from this brand!

This is a make-up brush in the shape of a toothbrush. I don't think you're going to do any damage to your teeth if you use these brushes; that being said, I don't think this does more than the average toothbrush and therefore I don't think you should waste your money. The bristles are very soft and lightweight (again, like a make-up brush) so they don't have the strength to really get into the crevices and clean effectively like the brand says they can. It's not as weird of a feeling on your teeth as you expect but it still feels like one mound of bristles along your teeth rather than several different bunches moving independently. I got a brush with black bristles and I did notice the dye coming off after the first wash. I could actually see a brush like this being useful if you have a pet that needs their teeth brushed; the soft bristles would probably be less of a weird feeling than a normal toothbrush's bristles. Even still, there are cheaper options out there.
Lush

While I don't use Lush products on the regular, I have used them on and off for over a decade at this point. I think a big plus for this company is how easily accessible it is; odds are there's a Lush store closer to you than you think. While their products can be hit or miss, I love that they encourage customers to return their empty tubs to recycle them; it's a small gesture but it's great to see a more popular brand continue to do this. This is also a great store for gifts, especially their bathbombs or face masks.
