    American Dream Nut Butter

    There are a lot of gimmicky spreads on the market and I’ve tried many of them; most of which I discovered sacrifice flavor for claims of being the best “alternative nut butter.” This one is not a scheme! I tried ADNB for the first time last year and was instantly hooked—I’ve since cycled through nearly all of their staple flavors and several seasonal/limited edition varieties. There are SO many creative and original options to choose, but my favorites that I reorder regularly are the almond butter flavors Bundle Up Blondie and Butter My Cookie. The cashew butters are also incredibly rich and have a fudge-like texture. I use them for smoothies primarily but they truly pair well with nearly anything (baking, fruit, veggies, on banana bread, from the jar with a spoon, etc). Shipping times are as expected for a small business product that’s made fresh and doesn’t compromise on flavor. I find my orders (of 8 jars) usually ship within a week and arrive 2-3 days later. The price is on par with similar brands, but they edge out the competition by giving you more for your money: the jars are 16oz, vs. the typical 6-8oz options elsewhere and I find that if I keep them in the fridge, they last for months without losing any quality. The website also has regular sales and you can always find an influencer with a 10% off code!

    The shipping can be expensive if you’re just buying one or two jars, but I buy them in bulk and shipping is free for orders over $75.

    I use Sol De Janerio's lip butter religiously! I always have one in my purse, one in my car, and sometimes a third in my pocket! It really is so much better than a chapstick--goes on smooth, lasts 4-6 hours for me, vs. a chapstick that I sometimes have to re-apply after only an hour (or less!!). The best part about it isn't that it does the job...it smells SO heavenly. Not an artificial vanilla/fruit scent like most chapsticks, like a forbidden snack delicious type of scent. Highly recommend!

    Feedback

    All their products are little pricey, but it's considerably larger tube than a typical chapstick--think lipstick tube, but wider.

    The dishwasher pods work really well, come in sustainable packaging, and are affordable. I am always drawn to products that work well AND are good for the environment!

    I got the 2022 planner from Baronfig in charcoal. It’s well laid out and easy to organize, has plenty of room for notes in the back and makes it fun to write out my schedule! I like the option with larger boxes to fill in daily items, as well as the monthly pages that give you a more big picture schedule view.

    I use the ovulation sticks in combination with the Flo app to track my cycle. I am not attempting to get pregnant (or keep from getting pregnant) through natural family planning, but I have always had an abnormal cycle and have had long periods of irregularity with my cycle. This is a great tool, inexpensive and you get plenty of product to last you a few months!

    Allie's Banana Bread

    Allie’s banana breads got me off a targeted ad, and I have to say….they really hit the mark with this one. I would never normally spend money on mail order banana bread over making it at home, but they caught me in a moment of weakness and when I saw the oreo flavor it was game over. I ordered the snickerdoodle, oreo, and chocolate chip loaves….WOW. How she manages to keep them SO moist and delicious is beyond me! I threw two loaves in the freezer and one in the fridge (which was gone in 3 days!) and my roomie and I eat a piece with nut butter on top every morning-but these can really stand alone! The flavors are unique and delicious, absolutely addicting! Allie is very up front about when she ships (Mon-Wed) in order to keep orders as fresh as possible and packages with care.

    Feedback

    Price is more than I would spend for something I make at home regularly, but these are fresh and the flavors make them unique. The shipping is $15 which is understandable given the short shipping time and weight of a dense bread, but unless I’m ready to buy a few loaves it’s a little pricey.

    They’re not the greatest low sugar candy. The taste is decent, but they do get stuck to your teeth like glue! The quantity is quite pitiful as well. I’ve had the peach rings and swedish fish and there was no more than a small handful in each bag.

    Feedback

    Very small quantity for the price, texture is very sticky

    There is just something about being able to eat a whole pizza made mostly from veggies and whole foods and not feel sluggish or overly full afterwards. I love a thin and crispy crust and this chickpea crust is somehow both hearty and delicious! I’ve tried every flavor of their pizzas and the veggie is probably my favorite. The mac and cheese is a standout too—the protein content really keeps you full!

    Feedback

    Pricey—depending on where you buy from, these can be up to $10-15 for a pizza.

    I use the Angel moisturizer and the serum every night. My skin has always been so sensitive and regardless of what it’s going through, I wake up with a softer, calmer, and more even complexion every morning! There is also a TON of product (especially the moisturizer!) and they even send a little tool to get every last drop out of the tube. This is a top fav brand in my routine!

    A little pricey, but worth the quality and amount you get
