A yummy and low-sugar alternative to soda, though I'm personally not sold on the "gut healthy" aspects given that any carbonated has a tendancy to make me feel a little bloated.

Tasty candy that helps me feel better about my occasional sweeth tooth. My only complaint is that these are chewier and stickier than a normal gummy candy, and they get stuck on the fronts and bottoms of my teeth when I eat them. It's gets pretty annoying. For that reason, I don't go out of my way to buy these.

Bitchin Sauce is a staple in my household. We use it as a dip, as a salad dressing, as a sandwich sauce, as a marinade.....there's nothing that Bitch can't do.
BIRKENSTOCK

Very high quality shoes, though maybe not as high as it was in our parents' day. I've heard stories of people wearing their mom's Birkenstocks from the 80s/90s/etc., but the longest I've ever had a pair last is 5-6 years. I still count this as pretty good considering a lot of shoes will wear through much faster, and I wear mine almost daily in the summer time. They do take a week or two to break in when you first get them, but that pain is well worth the ensuing years of comfort.

I used the Unseen Sunscreen for like 6 months. It was great, until it wasn't. One day I noticed that I was breaking out badly on my chin. After some trial and error and investigating of all my skincare products, I realized it was this sunscreen, so I had to stop using it. It is definitely a product worth trying out though.
Stasher Bag

These bags are great. I've never had one leak on me, and they've held up well to dozens of cycles in the dishwasher. The only downside is that they never full dry in the dishwasher because of all the little crevices, so I always have to take them out and lay them upside down for a few hours to finish drying.
Billie

I was a loyal subscriber to Billie for about 2-3 years. I bought one razor handle and had a subscription to the replacement blades that came every 3 months. I didn't shave very often (maybe once a week) so this was perfect for me. I switched over to primarily waxing about 2 years ago so I cancelled my subscription, but I had a bunch of leftover blades so I decided to keep the handle for the rare occasion when I do need to shave. That handle must be like 5 years old at this point and it's still going strong.
Crocs

I got my first pair of Crocs at the ripe age of 25 after having desparately wanted them as a kid. I love them. They are easy to put on/take off, airy for the warmy months, and the option to customize them is always fun.
Banza

I like this brand overall, though I've only tried the pasta so far. It's good! It doesn't taste much different than regular pasta to me. The only downside is that it's not at "structurally sound" as regular pasta. It crumbles really easily, which might be an issue if presentation ranks high on your pasta priorities but doesn't matter at all if all you care about is taste.
Boie

I started using Boie body scrubbers in 2021 and have not strayed since. They last super long. I've only had to repurchase twice in the past 2 years (and one of those re-purchases was because I accidentally left mine behind on a vacation). The material feels soft on my skin but still exfoliates well. I have pretty hairy arms and had concerns that the silicone material would catch on my hairs and rip them out, but that has never happened. I also love that the company not only offers recycling of their products, but actually makes good on their commitent to sustainability by re-using the recycled product in their hooks!
