love rise! tastes really great, not acidic or bitter, but still strong. the price can be steep, which is why i go 4/5, but i love that they have a bunch of oat milk flavors.

I really like the idea of these cookies — I have such a sweet tooth, so I try to limit added sugar where I can, so I was super excited to try these. I had the peanut butter flavor and unfortunately it just tastes a little too "fake sugar"-y for me. I wouldn't be opposed to trying the other flavors in case they're better, but I don't think I'd repurchase these.

So far so good!! I've only used their 20% VITAMIN C + E FERULIC ACID SERUM so far, but I really like it and will likely repurchase. It's so difficult to find a vitamin C serum that is well-formulated, not in a dropper bottle, AND affordable, and Timeless' checks all of those boxes! The scent is a little weird, not gonna lie, but I got used to it pretty quickly.

I got the Demi in Toasted Moxie and loved them when I took them out of the box. They felt super high-quality, and the packaging was unbelievably cute. I've always wanted to try more unique sunglasses and in another world these totally would have been that. Unfortunately, the glasses themselves were too big on my face, but I would definitely try another pair if they come out with a frame that might work better! The customer service was excellent when I returned the glasses, also.

I looooove Poppi. I try to keep an eye on how much added sugar I have because I have such a sweet tooth, but I also love to have a fun drink as a treat all the time, so Poppi is the perfect answer. I hate the term "guilt-free" because we shouldn't feel guilty about eating or drinking but Poppi really is that! I've loved every flavor I've had and will keep trying new ones.

My friends and I use liquid IV when we go out to a bar or something, we mix it in with our drink so we get dehydrated less quickly! (Then, of course, we also use it the next day...) I like the product a lot, but it has a lot of added sugar, so I use the low-sugar one. I think it works really well and try to grab some whenever they are on sale. I bring them with me when I travel and like to take one whenever I'm feeling under the weather, before/after a workout, or just toward the end of the day if I realize I haven't had much water.

I started using Native deodorant during early pandemic when I wasn't really seeing people, since I'd read that sometimes when you switch to it your body can go through a "purge" period where you might not smell great. Not sure if I had that, but I've been using it consistently for three years since then, and I'm a big fan. I don't know much about the health benefits/risks of using different types of deodorants or antiperspirants, but I like that this feels low-risk even if I don't know everything, and it works for me! It lasts a decently long time, and I usually try to get a new one whenever I find one on sale, since they are a little expensive. Will probably keep using for the foreseeable future.

I've been using Warby Parker for almost 15 years, their glasses helped me feel confident wearing glasses in the first place. I've gotten three or four new pairs over the years and have loved each one. The customer service has always been outstanding and the home try-on option really is as convenient as it sounds. I give four stars instead of five for a few reasons. I've started looking in other places in recent years as other brands have also become affordable (sometimes more so). Their styles can be somewhat limited compared to other brands — I used to not mind this because it felt less overwhelming, and I could always find something I loved even within the narrower selection, but last time I needed a new pair of glasses I couldn't find anything I liked and ended up going elsewhere. If you're someone who also has a small face, you might run into a similar situation, but maybe just a preference thing :) Also, they are somewhat affordable, but if you are someone who (like me) has a bad prescription and needs thicker lenses, the price starts to really add up and it can become way more expensive than other brands, which has also pushed me to look elsewhere. In terms of contacts, they don't have yet contacts for astigmatism, so I have yet to try them.

Love Supergoop. Particularly a fan of Glowscreen – I have repurchased several times. I've found that it can pill when you use a lot of other products, but it's perfect when wearing standalone, which is what I usually do. Unseen makes a great primer. Glowscreen for body is SO fun if you want to be sparkly, and I love using Glow Oil as a super moisturizing body oil, especially in the summer. The eye cream I've also loved — the level of pigment is just right — but the formula has been hit or miss each time I've bought it. The regular sunscreens (Play everyday lotion) are also great, but not necessarily worth the price. Note that you can use your FSA! :)

I love OLIPOP – grabbing one is one of my favorite ways to treat myself. I love that they're low-sugar. Four stars instead of five for two reasons: first, they just are expensive unless you buy in bulk; and second, I love some of the flavors (root beer, ginger lemon, vintage cola, cream soda) but I feel like some of the fruit flavors taste a little bit like artificial sweetening. I'll be honest — I can't say my gut microbiome feels any different, but I love drinking a "soda" that's not bad for you, and even potentially good for you!
