I've been using their face washes for years and I love them. Really helped clear my skin up and keep it clear while still being gentle and non-stripping in the winter. Plus, the packaging is super cute (which makes it nice to keep on my bathroom sink). I've tried other brands but always come back to Holifrog.

I've been a vegetarian for almost a decade now, and Impossible Foods has made being veggie so much easier. I really appreciate the burgers especially - dry restaurant black bean burgers are the bane of my existence, so it's great to see so many places switching to Impossible meat. I don't know if this replicates the taste of meat exactly, but the taste and texture is so much better than what I was getting previously. It also means there's vegetarian options on the menu at places where I would previously go hungry or be stuck with bar snacks. Honestly the real gem of Impossible foods is that it's made hosting my carnivore family members so much smoother. Most of them can tell the difference between Impossible and real meat when it's served plain, but when I use ground Impossible meat in a heavily sauced and seasoned dish (ie, lasagna) it's almost impossible to tell the difference. Makes cooking a meal for a mixed crowd so much easier. For a full-time vegetarian, Impossible meat is definitely not something I eat every day or even every week, but when it's useful, it's REALLY useful. Overall has made life way easier and more tasty.

This is a really nice size, big enough for both my cats to fit in but small enough that we can slide it under the bathroom counter. The liners are really nice since they're easy to clean and mean the box itself doesn't pick up grime/smells, and make it easier to change the litter by taking the liner out like a bag and emptying it into the trash. Both of my cats use this without issue, although neither of them are very picky about their litter box situation. If you have a very picky or skittish cat, the liner might cause issues or scare them since it does cause a little bit of noise and movement when they get in the box. It is relatively expensive for a top-covered litter box, with the only addition being the liners. The liners also are always out of stock when I need to replace them, though hopefully that will improve with time. Overall, though, this is a solid option. If you have a little budget to upgrade your litter box, this is definitely worth the added convenience.

I originally bought a bottle as an option for mocktails that have a little more complexity when trying to cut back on my alcohol consumption. I do think I feel a slight buzz/mood boost from the original Kin mixer, though that might be placebo. That being said, it tastes TERRIBLE. I can cover it up well enough if I use the bottled version and get creative with my mixology, but the spritz version in a can does not cover the taste at all, and covering up the taste sort of defeats the purpose of having a more complex mocktail experience. The price is also really expensive - $5 a serving before tax if you get the bottle, which is a lot more expensive than just using bitters in my mocktail. Idk - this is a cool idea, but not something I think I'll be purchasing regularly.

There are definitely a lot of other brands that have a similar premise, but these cleaners are a great option. The frosted glass bottles are super high quality and I appreciate that they are using glass instead of plastic. I got the all purpose cleaner and it has a really lovely, soft floral/rose scent that makes the house smell super good - one of the best smells I have tried from a natural cleaning product line. The bottle comes with two refills, which are also packaged in recyclable glass bottles. Overall a solid product, would purchase again.

Just bought a pair of their bibs in a light blue with the absolute cutest daisy pattern. I'm normally not a bibs person but these were so comfy and cute I had to splurge. They're warm but definitely a bit on the lighter side, so I may not use them as much in deep winter, but they will be perfect for spring skiing. They're priced pretty fairly relative to other competitors - not a pair of bargain ski pants by any means, but pretty comparable to bigger brands and I love that I'm supporting a small business. Plus, they're cuter than anything else on the market. Can't wait to try them out on the slopes!

The sauce was very tasty and the noodles had a great texture. The coconut curry noodle sauce reminded me a lot of my favorite local restaurant's khao soi. However, the sauce was pretty thin and there wasn't really enough for all the noodles. If I had added any veg/tofu/etc, there would not have been enough sauce. Would definitely appreciate maybe 1.5 times more sauce to improve the sauce distribution. Overall good experience - will definitely try other flavors in the line to compare.

Excellent branding and a very solid product. This was my first intro to chili crisp and definitely got me hooked - I put it on everything now. Flavor and crunch is great. Not too spicy; the overall spice level is lower than other brands I've tried. I've only tried the basic chili crisp flavor though, so other flavors may vary. That being said, in terms of flavor I don't think the basic chili crisp they sell necessarily has a huge leg up on the run-of-the mill brands that I can find in my local grocery store. There's definitely a premium on the price for the cute branding. But, it's a cute product and very tasty, so definitely worth the price if you haven't tried chili crisp before, appreciate the well-designed packaging, or just can't find a more run-of-the-mill brand where you shop.

The candles are super expensive, but they are hands down the best smelling candles I've ever found. Pablo and Citadelle are my two favorites. Citadelle literally smells like summer - very bright and airy, slightly citrus-y, but super complex in a summery way. Pablo is like an art studio - more sweet and rich, but definitely a safflower oil/oil paint touch that reminds me of long days painting in my college studio. Lots of brands claim their scents evoke memories, but Goest is one of the few that actually delivers. They burn for quite a long time and have good throw, so overall very high quality for the money. These are definitely some of my treat-yourself purchases.

Just bought the teacup lotion candle as a treat yourself purchase and it's such a beautiful product. The lotion works really well - doesn't get too hot like normal candle wax, so you can pour on your skin right away. Nice, light fragrance which wasn't overbearing and the lotion feels really lovely on skin. I maybe burned it a little too much the first time I used it - a little definitely goes a long way. The reusable teacups are such a good idea and look so pretty on my shelf. Definitely will go back for gifts this Christmas season.
