    I got the thirst trap night recovery oil through the "try new things" program and I'm surprised by how much I like it. I've always been hesitant to put oils on my face but makes my face feel super moisturized at night and I haven't seen any adverse side effects.

    I finally bit the bullet and bought the Original Aperitif at Boisson. At first, the flavor was really unappealing to me because it's really bitter and doesn't really taste like anything I've tried before. But after a few sips, I grew to really like it. I'm not sure if I would buy it again, though, because it's hard for me to accept paying $38 but I understand that it's a premium product.

    I tried the Matcha Latte and was reimbursed through the try new things program. While the matcha latte didn't taste horrible, it definitely wasn't what I expected and tasted very different from a traditional matcha latte. It has lots of added ingredients listed on the label (lion's mane, ashwaganda, theanine) that are meant to provide added benefits besides energy from the caffeine. But I found that they took away from actually being able to taste and enjoy the matcha. It almost tasted more like hojicha than matcha. If I'm craving a matcha latte again, I would probably pay the $3 extra to get a real one from a coffeeshop.

    The Harissa Lemon Chickpeas were really incredible, and a super versatile pantry item. I heated them up on the stove and poached a few eggs in them to make a shakshouka of sorts. But at their current price, I really don't see myself buying these more than once a month whenever I stop in a whole foods.

    I really wanted to like these because I’ve been looking for carbonated beverages that work as mixers or by themselves, but this one was pretty disappointing. I tried the Grapefruit & Pomelo flavor and it tasted just like a grapefruit LaCroix with slightly more flavor. I tried it both by itself and with tequila and neither were that good. As an aside, I tried mixing it in my iced matcha just for fun, and it was actually quite good.

    I got Liquid IV when I was dealing with a massive hangover on New Year’s Day. In terms of flavor, the Lemon Lime packet tasted just like a Gatorade, but it had a slight Stevia-like flavor so I would have preferred just drinking Gatorade. I got my single packet at Whole Foods and it was quite expensive (around $2.50) so I don’t fully see the appeal of it.

    I love Uniqlo's clothing, especially their crewneck t-shirts and their cardigans and sweaters made out of lambswool. Their items are generally very well-priced for their quality. I wish they offered more color options, but I know the company is mostly focused on selling basics and not statement pieces.

    Received a free product from Fishwife

    I really like flavors of Fishwife I tried - Smoked Salmon with Fly by Jing Sichuan Chili Crisp and Smoked Rainbow Trout. I don't think they're necessarily worth the money, though, and I'm not sure how I would incorporate them into a larger meal

    I absolultely love Health-ade, especially the Passionfruit/tangerine and pink lady apple flavors. They used to be stocked for free at my work, but I started to buy them once I left. My only complaint is that the bottle is quite heavy so it's hard to carry around in my bag or purse.

    I will only wash my face with the Superfood cleanser, even though I think it's a bit overpriced. I love the way it smells and how clean it makes my face feel. It's super gentle and I've noticed it's helped a bit with my chronic acne.
