The Ordinary
Experience
My go-to skincare company. I use The Ordinary for just about every product I use on my face. I love their simple no-BS style of marketing, packaging, explaining benefits, etc... It's the way skincare should be done, instead of the smoke and mirrors other brands try to shove down your throat. I use... Natural Moisturizing Factors + Ha "Buffet" + Copper Peptides 1% AHA 30% + BHA 2% Peeling Granactive Retinoid 2% Emulsion Squalene Cleanser Their prices are amazing. Their products work. I don't know what else someone would need.
Karst
Experience
I LOVE these notebooks. As someone who always seems to spill coffee or food on my notebooks, these Karst notebooks are a lifesaver since they don't absorb liquid and you can wipe it off. They feel like heavy-weight paper, but smooth and velvety to the touch. The pages are actually cold to the touch which is an interesting sensory experience. It can be a little difficult to write on them as they seem to sort of grab the tip of the pen, but I have gotten used to it. Also, it's nearly impossible to rip the paper, so if you like to tear sections or pages out, these aren't a good choice.
Good Weird
Experience
My results have been really good. It's definitely one of the most effective caffeine eye creams I have used for trying to reduce swollen bags in the morning and before Zoom calls. Rolls on easily via their little built-in aluminum applicator and it disappears quickly after going on white so you can see where it's applied.
Visitor
Experience
One of the best N/A beers I have tried! About a year ago I switched to N/A beer after a decade of drinking microbrews and even brewing my own. So far, most of the N/A world is pretty disappointing when it comes to matching the flavor of IPAs, lagers, stouts, etc... Visitor was a pleasant surprise as it really tastes like an excellent malt forward lager, sort of like a light Belgium style beer. Anyway, I like it a lot and will be ordering more.
Italic
Experience
Overall the quality of everything I have bought from Italic has been high. Their products really are as good as they claim they are. However, when I really take a deep dive into price comparisons for similar quality items I started to realize the Italic pricing isn't as amazing as they claim it is, which is one of the key components of their entire marketing pitch when you sign up.
Bitchin' Sauce
Experience
I love these vegan dips more than most dairy based ones. The texture is perfect, very creamy, and the flavors are really strong. No weak "let's play it safe" spices, but really bold and fun choices.
Jeni's Splendid Ice Creams
Experience
Can't get enough Jeni's. Like, seriously, this ice cream is the most addictive I have ever had. Start off with the OG, the Brambleberry Crisp and then work your way through the incredible flavors like Gooey Butter Cake and Salted Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip.
Feedback
Nothing. As close to perfect as it gets.
Ritual
Experience
Love the entire experience of Ritual. I use the Men's Daily and not only was the subscription process easy, but the shipping was fast, and packaging was super minimal to reduce waste. Flavor is very strong mint that definitely stays with you (via burps) for a while.
Feedback
Nothing so far. I don't think I'll be canceling anytime soon.
Recess
Experience
Flavor is decent, but nothing amazing. I buy them for the CBD or Magnesium aspect of the product, definitely not for their taste.
Feedback
Price is pretty outrageous.
