    The Our Place pan is aesthetically pleasing and innovative in concept. However, it falls short on quality. After a few uses, the non-stick coating started chipping and the bottom discolored from heat. Despite its good looks and multi-use design, the pan could use better durability and improved materials.

    Hydroflask sets the bar impressively high with their insulation technology. It's an experience that's left me not only satisfied, but utterly amazed. I've put my Hydroflask to the test, leaving cold water in it overnight. Astonishingly, the water remained refreshingly chilled the next day. Beyond its insulation marvels, the Hydroflask also boasts a stylish design and robust construction, but it's the performance that steals the show. It's a true hydration hero that keeps the cold in and the warmth out, exactly as it promises.

    I really wanted to like this, but I couldn't get past the taste of it - very off and it made my stomach feel queasy afterwards.

    Olaplex is great for my aging, fine hair. I use it in lieu of regular conditioner, and love how they've expanded the line.

    I have been using the Deep Sleep pillow and the Pressure Relief seat cushion from Cushion Lab, and I have mixed feelings about both products. While they offer certain benefits, I find that they are both too high for my liking, leading to discomfort and inconvenience. Starting with the Deep Sleep pillow, it falls short of my expectations. When I sleep on my back with this pillow, I often wake up with a sore neck. The height of the pillow pushes my head forward and does not provide adequate support in aligning my neck properly. This has been a recurring issue, and it hampers my overall sleeping experience. Moving on to the Pressure Relief seat cushion, I found the cushion also to be too high for my needs. Instead of providing optimal support, it made me feel like I was sitting on a kids’ booster seat. The elevated height affected my posture and added unnecessary strain to my lower back. It would have been much more beneficial if Cushion Lab offered lower profile versions of their products, as one size does not fit all.

    I appreciate Stasher Bags for their sustainability. They're a good eco-friendly option to replace single-use plastic bags. However, their sealing ability isn't as strong as disposable Ziploc bags. So, while they're great for the environment, they might not keep your food as fresh.

    Uni's 24-hour Body Serum has been a game-changer for my skin. Its lightweight texture and all-day hydration are impressive, keeping my skin feeling soft and moisturized without any heaviness or stickiness. However, I do have a gripe with the product: its fragrance. The scent is heavily based on sandalwood and cedar, which I personally do not prefer. It lingers for a while, which has been a challenge for me. Despite this, the quality of the serum and the results it delivers make me tolerate the scent. It's a testament to the serum's effectiveness that I'm willing to get past my aversion to the fragrance, which says a lot. That being said, I would love to see a fragrance-free version of this product in Uni's lineup. It would make the serum more inclusive for people with different fragrance preferences or sensitivities. The feature that solidifies my support for Uni, beyond the quality of their products, is their commitment to sustainability. It's evident that Uni's commitment to sustainability goes beyond mere words - their actions demonstrate a comprehensive approach, factoring in the entire lifecycle of their product components. The fact that they provide an easy process to return empty bottles for recycling is commendable and sets them apart in the market. Another sustainability initiative of Uni's is that all of their products are "reef-safe." While this may not matter to everyone, it definitely resonates with me, and another reason I continue to purchase. From the Uni site (they can explain it better than I can): "Uni scrutinizes every aspect of the product lifecycle that can possibly impact our reefs. In addition to oxybenzone and octinoxate, we adhere to the continuously evolving HEL list to remove ALL ingredients that are potentially invasive of our waterways. Finally, we have partnered with Coral Gardeners to donate 1% of all online sales to coral reef restoration. Protecting our reefs means protecting our planet, which should be important to all those who share it." In summary, if you're not put off by sandalwood or cedar scents and are looking for an effective, lightweight body serum, Uni's 24-hour Body Serum might be worth your consideration.
