We're Not Really Strangers
Experience
I bought the self-care edition last black Friday. I had wanted it for a while and after a long period of being Out of Stock, it came back in time for me to use the 25% discount. The card deck is very high quality and the design is very pleasing to the eye. I used these cards every now and then to do a bit of self-reflection. I will be getting the core deck of cards next to use with my boyfriend.
Feedback
The only thing that is jarring is that for anyone outside the US, shipping can be expensive and take a while
Papier
Experience
Papier is a great product if you want to treat yourself or treat someone else. I have bought a notebook for myself and also received one for Christmas. Both were gorgeously wrapped and packaged. I am a big stationery nerd so I know and appreciate a good quality notebook. The covers are of great quality alongside the internal paper too. Once I finish my current Papier notebook I will defiantly be replacing it with a new one.
Feedback
These notebooks are not cheap but you really do get what you pay for!
Misfits Health
Experience
I found Misfits on TikTok last year during a health-kick period of my life. I was watching an influencer review them and she said that they were the best protein bars that she had tasted. I had tasted a couple before (one of the most disgusting being Grenade) so I was up for trying something new. After ordering the variety box, I can honestly say, I will never order another brand of protein bar. I now how these on subscription from Amazon.
Feedback
My favourite flavour is definitely the white chocolate peanut and the cookies and cream - highly recommend!
Heights
Experience
I am a big BIG Heights fan. I have taken a lot of supplements and this is probably the only one where I can say I can see and feel the difference from taking them. Their website is great and provides all the information you need to make an informed decision. They also provide you with a road map on when you should start noticing the effects of taking them. All you have to do is take 2 a day. The ingredients are really high quality which I think is something customers do not look into enough when purchasing supplements.
Feedback
If you sign up, you should take these for at least 3 months before making a judgement but I can almost guarantee that you will notice a difference. I honestly rave about this product to everyone - superb product and brand.
What Do You Meme
Experience
I was given this as a gift for Christmas by my sister. The previous year she got me cards against humanity and we had loads of fun with it so we were looking for a game that could replicate that level of enjoyment the following year. It lived up to expectations but truthfully, cards against humanity was a better game for the whole family. You really have to be engaged in online culture to get the true value of this product.
Feedback
My sister bought this set from Amazon (prime) so shipping was fast and reliable. I would buy from the company again because, to be honest, the actual product quality was fine and I'd like to believe my family is more up to date with online mem culture now, so I will not have to explain every meme image!
Herby Box
Experience
I found Herby through a tweet the founder made. I love all thing health and wellness and when you mix a subscription in with that, I am all in. They offered 2 boxes at the time I purchased and I opted for the Athene Tea box which was said to improve focus. After taking the tea for 4 days, I definitely noticed a difference in the time it took for me to "get focused".
Feedback
What I will say is that you should go into this thinking you'll drink this tea and get superpowers immediately. You have to also follow a well-balanced diet and they provide a leaflet on all their recommendations (they provide really great insights and information with your order). The founders are also really lovely and each to reach if you need any support.
Girlfriend Collective
Experience
I first came across The Girlfriend Collective on Instagram. The marketing is amazing and I was particularly drawn to the colours and models used for the products (very real bodies which made it relatable). I made my first order during Black Friday so I went a little overboard and purchased quite a few crop tops (Topanga halter and the Simone) Firstly, the packaging is very thought out and your order comes with a little free dust bag that I still use till this day. The fabric is amazing
Feedback
The only drawback for me is that the Topanga crops were unpadded and not very supportive so I don't actually use them to work to in.
OLAPLEX
Experience
I discovered Olaplex during a visit to my hairdressers. As someone of mixed heritage, I really struggle to find hair products that are equal parts moisturising and effective while not leaving my hair feel so heavy. I use No. 3, which is their best seller. No. 4, No. 5, No. 6, No. 7 and No. 8.
Feedback
The only thing I would say is a drawback is the price. For me, it's a lot to spend on a hair product but I do see and feel the effects of the product. If you are not too sure of what products are best for your hair, I would recommend visiting the brand site and taking a deep dive into each product.
Ugly Drinks
Experience
I am not the biggest fan of fizzy drinks so I was a little sceptical as to whether I would like this drink. I'll set the scene, the day I bought my first ugly drink it was about 25 degrees (unheard of in the UK), I was in my car, which had terrible air-con and I had stopped to get petrol at Sainsburys. In a rush to pay, I grabbed the first best-looking sugar-free can of drink (my intention was to rub the can on my forehead). Anyway, turns out I grabbed a can of Ugly, (the lemon and lime flavour) and it was great! I would highly recommend it for anyone who can't bear the fuzziness of fizzy drinks or for someone who wants to quit drinking fizzy drinks - this is a great in-between product!
Bloom & Wild
Experience
I am notoriously bad with remembering dates for birthdays and Bloom and Wild has come to the rescue for me on multiple occasions where I have had a small amount of time to gift someone something a little special. I have all my close friends a family's birthdays set up in the app (including their address) and I get a notification whenever a birthday is coming up and thanks to the app I do not spend too long browsing and selecting an appropriate bouquet of flowers.
Feedback
I can't speak to the quality of the flowers as I have only ever sent the flowers to other people but the person receiving the gift has always commented on how great the packaging is a how pretty the flowers are!
