I use the Olaplex No. 7 hair oil after I shower, and after I blow dry or straighten my hair. I have really damaged, coarse, and blonde-dyed hair that was at its worst a few years ago. Since the pandemic, I started washing it only once a week and applying Olaplex No 7. It's finally grown longer and stronger than it has been since I started dying it.

Uniqlo made up the majority of me and my friends' wardrobes when we lived in Tamale, Ghana for three months. Their clothes are well-made and meant to be worn in, dirtied, and long-lasting! They strike a great balance between practical, comfortable, yet stylish. I appreciate the business casual clothes they carry.
Feedback
Hang your Uniqlo items to dry instead of putting them in the dryer to extend their lifecycle even longer.

I'm really wary of the additives in most plant-based milk (sunflower oil, gums, etc), so I appreciate that MALK only has three ingredients. I usually blend my MALK with matcha or coffee, so I can't really speak to the flavor or taste when it's not mixed into anything. But the health factor is a huge plus!

It doesn't froth super well in lattes, but that's because there's no added sugars.

I like the price of fabletics, but I don't like their leggings as much as Lululemon. Two of my pairs of high-waisted leggings are VERY high, which I never thought would be an issue, but alas. My third pair is significantly tighter than the other two, even though they're all the same size. I tend to wear their leggings for lounging around the house rather than working out.

Beware of inconsistencies with sizing when purchasing online.

Like everyone else on the planet, I LOVE the Supergoop! glowscreen. I wear it as a base underneath my makeup, and I don't need to wear foundation overtop, just bronzer and concealer in some spots! I love the glow it gives me.

The Ordinary has been a staple in my skincare routine for years. I rotate using multiple serums for my day and night routines. My favorite product is the Vitamin C Suspension 23% + HA Spheres 2%. I use it before bed and before a moisturizer.
Feedback
Some people have complained that the Vitamin C Suspension 23% + HA Spheres 2% feels really tingly and leaves a burning sensation on their skin. I think I understand what they mean, but I love it! It's not a bad feeling. Just be sure you don't have any open cuts or pimples as it will burn a bit extra in those spots.

I like my kombucha on the less-sweet side, so Health-ade fits the bill. This product does contain more sugar than other brands I prefer (like the Rise Kombucha line that only has 2g of sugar). The pomegranate flavor is my favorite.
Feedback
If you're being conscious of your sugar intake, just be sure to read the ingredients on your kombucha bottle carefully.

I have the Gymshark vital seamless 2.0 leggings in Black Marl and I really like the thickness and quality for lifting at the gym. They are high-rise on me as well which I really appreciate. I do have a slight camel toe in these leggings, but I don't think that can be helped with my body type.
Feedback
Great for lifting or cardio sessions at the gym. True to size.

The Generation G lipstick in "fuzz" is my go-to daily color for a slightly darker-than-natural lip color! It's a super flattering brownish-pink shade. For reference, I have paler skin, freckles, dark blonde hair and green eyes.
Feedback
No complaints - I love the flat, wide shape of this lipstick!

The Dr. Goodwin flavor of Olipop is one of my favorite Dr. Pepper substitutes! It's comparable to the Dr. Zevia flavor of Zevia if you've tried that one. It has a great carbonation level and nice cherry notes. It doesn't taste overly artificial. I love sipping these by the pool instead of alcohol.
Feedback
Because Olipop has a premium price point, I wouldn't drink these everyday.
