    Tasty! Packaging was fun! I liked using them as appetizers and appreciated they were plant based and gluten free. I entertain a bit and it’s nice to have foods that are available for everyone! I loved these in the air fryer - it was quick, ‘cheese’ got hot and outside got crispy. Sauce wasn’t anyone’s favorite.

    This review is regarding Gen 2 of the ring. I’ve used my Oura ring nearly every night for just over two years. I love biometric data and was looking for ways to better understand the quality of my sleep to identify how to positively impact it. For years, I’ve had terrible sleep quality. Oura fit the bill. With some experimenting and Oura’s data, I’ve identified techniques and supplements that help improve my sleep. I think most of these techniques can be learned and experimented with without the Oura ring (for example, no screens an hour before bed, cold room, etc), but I think the ring and it’s data helped me identify it faster and with some concrete evidence. One of my learnings was that Ashwaganda, which is often used as a supplement to improve sleep actually keeps me up! I know the ring is on further generations at this point and I believe the Gen 3 ring actually nearly requires a subscription (very limited data without one). My Gen 2 ring wasn’t affected by the monthly sub introduction. I’m not sure I’d see personal value if I had to upgrade to a Gen 3 ring and subscription.

    These weee ridiculously good, from the soft flaky dough to the cheese and lil pepperoni. Great as an appetizer or even as a meal as they’re pretty hefty in size! I warmed ‘em up using my convection oven, but you also may be able to using an air fryer? Ridiculously easy to ‘make’ and super tasty. Just wish they weren’t so expensive!!!

    LOVE WATG! I've purchased a few kits and materials before. High quality yarn always, kits are descriptive and informative so you don't feel lost on a knitting project, and customer service is fab! It's certainly marketed towards new knitters. A lot of the kits come with knitting needles and after some time, you don't need to buy another size of the same needles and so patterns and yarn are typically more affordable than a kit. The brand also offers lots of YouTube tutorials on kits, knitting styles/patterns, and more! There's tons of different kits from sweaters, to tops, to shoes, to scarves, to totes and more! I think these can make great gifts also :)

    I like these, but think they are overpriced. I purchased a pair of the point flats. Fun colors and prints. The fabric material of the shoe hugs your feet and they hold on well.

    Foot support needs to be better for the price.

    I've tried the shampoo and conditioner in 3 different formulations and they all sucked. The appeal with this brand (besides the packaging) is custom hair products that you basically design based on your hair concerns or priorities. I purchases 3 different formulations and didn't like any. With the first one, it felt like my hair was thickly coated in product, to where when I blow dried it, it would remain oily. With the first formulation, I contacted support and they suggested adjusting some of my hair concerns. New batch shipped and same thing. I contacted CS again, adjusted again, and again... the same. I've never had a shampoo/conditioner feel this icky. I wound up using the remaining shampoo as a body wash and conditioner as a shaving cream. The absolute only thing I liked was the colorful products and ability to customize things like smell and color.

    Less gross products.

    ADDICTIVE. It's literally the best part of an ice cream cone. Except there are multiple. In one bag. Just get them.

    Simple. Customizable. I purchased a key tag back in 2019 in the color Rosé and have been using on the daily. It's still holding up well! Shipped and delivered quick too (3 days!) I think these can make really fun custom gifts (birthdays, bridesmaids, etc)!

    Love the branding! Pimples are weirdly sometimes kinda taboo but this brings a fun element to 'em! I purchased these after the Starface x Stoney Clover Lane collab a few months back. Packaging is cute and I really like the case, however, they don't work as well as drawing 'icks' out of pimples as some other brands of pimple patches do. Most of the time that I put these on, there's a pimple still under there hours later. This does not happen with my fav brand of pimple patches.

    Feedback

    I think quality can be improved! Packaging and branding are really fun, but the pimple patches themselves don't work as well as other brands on the market!

    Simply Gum

    I wanted to like Simple Gum... I really really did. I picked up a pack (ginger) at my local Whole Foods while checking out. I was super intrigued by the simple (!) ingredients list. Unfortunately, it was a texture thing for me. I guess it's the tree sap/chicle that's used. It skeeved me out. It was too sticky and soft. It reminded me of how 'regular' gum gets when you chew it for too long. Ugh. Literally makes me want to gag just thinking about it.

    Feedback

    If you can figure out the texture thing, I'd be willing to try again. Otherwise, it will continue to be a pass for me.
