    Oh my god. It is seriously the worst thing I've ever put in my mouth. I can't wrap my head around why it's so bad (gritty, nauseating), and I'm not eating another one just for the review. I immediately had to eat something to combat the bad taste. As for energizing, I can't say the effect is any different than a small cup of coffee but honestly, I was so focused on the bad taste, that "how it made me feel" was the very last thing I was monitoring. The only thing good I can say is that the box is really pretty (albeit a little difficult to pull open).

    The taste overall is off-putting, as is the color. Shipping in the summer, caused several to be melted and fused together. Maybe wrap individually?

    For the price tag, I was expecting better than ok, but these cookies fell flat. There's no nuanced, or deep flavor profile. It's like if you make cookies following the recipe on the back of the Nestle chocolate chip bag. I understand the good ingredients in that they're organic and gluten-free, but they need elevated ingredients too in order to justify the price point.

    The ginger molasses tasted like molasses, and although it smells of ginger, you can't taste it. The oatmeal toffee tastes like a really good butter cookie but lacks the taste and feel of an oatmeal cookie. I was really hoping for chunks of toffee candy acting like a chip would elsewhere. The toffee is non-existent. Lastly, the chocolate chip was the best one, and that's a low bar to reach. It tastes exactly like the "oatmeal toffee" except with chocolate.

    Full disclosure: I got all my glasses with an employee STEEP discount. Not any better or worse than the cheap glasses you find online but I can definitely tell the difference with my other glasses from a better brand. Before I had the WP hook up, I disregarded the brand for no reason other than they're nothing special, and now that I don't get the discount I'll stop buying from them. You can find more unique glasses on sale/clearance from other places. I can see how it scratches an itch for some people, but they're just basic to me.

    I love this brand and I don't know why. Maybe the smile (or angry) face makes the chore of doing dishes bearable... dare I say, nice. They fit perfectly but I hear Vanessa's smaller scrubbers are great (if you know, you know). Only one product didn't work for me: the scrubbers with the eraser sponge on one side. Because it's not flexible, it doesn't do a great job.

    I have a newly purchased (3 months old) of Riley linen sheets and they are not luxurious compared to the linen sheets I have from Beflax, Brooklinen, and West Elm. They feel like regular sheets that have a linen-ness to them. Like a combination of the two.

    Better quality linen would help.

    I can’t speak on their bedding. I bought towel in 2019. This was to be a leveling up from the towels we’d used while raising our kids. We were in a new city and I wanted my first “plush” (for me) towels. Within a year (but just outside the return window) the towels are a mess. They’re comfy and the sheets are nicely large, but they’re full of snags, pulls, threads hanging, etc. The towels I used for over a decade were in better shape. After all of my research I narrowed it down to two companies and I took a chance on Parachute and I chose poorly. Im afraid to try their linen sheets now.

    The towels are just not holding up to regular use. They shouldn't be this bad in less than 2 years.
