I have a pair of Sheertex and they're... fine. I paid $70 for them and they just aren't as comfy as my other stockings. I find them to be sweaty and not very stretchy. They don't rip, but they color is pretty splotchy, which I don't like. Sheertex also constantly has these suuuuper deep sales that make me not really trust them. I don't reach for them over other stockings.

Oh Allbirds, I've loved you since the beginning. I first started following this brand in 2016 and bought my first pair of wool runners in 2017. I've worn those into the ground and have bought many pairs in many styles since then. I'm loving all their innovation with different materials, partnerships and styles. They are so reliably comfortable and I've brought at least one pair on every trip I've taken for the last 7 years. I've visited many of their stores and have always had a good experience, I even applied for a job there! Love you, don't ever change.

I just went to the Beyond Yoga store in Irvine and tried on lots of pieces so I feel more equipped to write this review! Their materials are totally heavenly, cozy and soft, buttery and still wicking. Something I really appreciate about Beyond Yoga is that they know when they need to line an item. If they're using a thin and swingy fabric, they'll line it, and I love that. Also, the staff in the Irvine store were super kind and helpful, bringing me items they thought I'd like after understanding what I was looking for. So sweet! I've had a pair of their Space Dye bike shorts and a coordinating bra top for over a year and they've stayed in good shape for the most part, except a few loose threads around the waist of the shorts. Just yesterday I bought the featherweight resort dress and it's a total dream. The color is darker and less heathered than it appears online and it's a really sexy, skimming cut. It's totally not the shape of dress I normally go for, but I'm so excited to wear it! My biggest complaint about Beyond Yoga is inconsistent sizing. For an online brand, I think it's really really important that customers are able to figure out their size with a lot of confidence and I don't really find that to be the case with Beyond. I varied between a small and a large depending on the item. Their return policy looks good (although I haven't used it), so maybe that makes up for it.

This is goooood kombucha. I especially like Pink Lady Apple and the Tropical Punch flavors. The price isn't bad, especially since I often will see it on sale at the grocery store. I've never ordered direct, always bought from a grocery store. It's replaced another brand as my go-to kombucha.

Big fan of their chili oil and zhong sauce! I've never tried their frozen dumplings. I think this chili oil has a nice complex flavor, and the price isn't bad. I've had more expensive ones that I liked better and cheaper ones I don't like as much. Shipping is easy and I like the website. It's exciting seeing them in grocery stores now, and from what I've seen, it looks like the price is comparable to buying direct.

I've tried several products from Dieux and am totally bought into them as a brand, but found the products a little hit or miss. I finished a tube of their Instant Angel moisturizer and although I loved the thoughtful packaging, I found myself layering it with hydrating serums and oils to get the amount of moisture my skin needs. I didn't rebuy it. The Deliverance serum I've found to really help with my skin's tone and redness, although at $68 I am starting to reconsider if it's worth rebuying again. The eye patches are innovative, but as somebody who doesn't really use eye creams, it was probably not a great purchase. The moment they release a retinol, I'll buy it.

Obsessed with the No 1 Brush. I spend five minutes in the morning brushing and I feel like it makes a big difference with my hair and my scalp loves it. I only wish they made a travel size version. I bought it through Sephora and although the price is a little high, I waited for the sale to commit.

I've been using New Wash for about five years, pretty much exclusively. It takes some getting used to, but I love the way that it brings out what little natural texture my hair has. It makes it beautifully shiny and I like that it replaces both my shampoo and conditioner. If my hair has gotten very dirty, I sometimes need to wash twice, or use some additional product like a scalp scrub to get the rest of the way clean. It works really well in combination with the silicone scalp scrubber that they sell. The gentle rosy scent is great. The price is pretty high, but I've found it to be worth it. I have a small qualm with the packaging - I do the subscription service, which includes a stainless steel pump bottle and refill bags. The product is slightly too thick for to work well with the pump bottle they send. I still use the pump bottle and refill it, but there's room for improvement there.

These are so delicious. The texture and flavor combos are super unique, my favorite so far is the tahini tangerine. They do a really good job making them super rich and satisfying. I'm a huge chocolate fiend and this totally knocks the chocolate craving. The price is pretty high compared to other chocolate bars, but I usually won't eat an entire one of these in a sitting. Having to keep them in the fridge makes them a bad option for travel.

I'm a big fan of their charcoal scalp scrub. I use a natural cowash (New Wash), which sometimes can leave my hair not feeling like I really got it completely clean. I use the charcoal scrub about once per week, or when my hair is feeling particularly dirty, or my scalp particularly itchy. I only use it on my scalp, not through the ends of my hair, which helps reduce the cost. It leaves my hair mega shiny and stays clean for a long time. I buy it through Sephora, so I haven't interacted directly with the brand. I originally received this product as a free sample through Sephora.
