Futurewise
Experience
I got to try the slug balm via a thingdrop and I have to say I really love this product! It is a great way to add extra moisture to my sensitive skin that is prone to dryness (especially in the winter). The texture is kind of similar to Vaseline but not quite as thick and it is unscented. I like that you can use it by itself or on top of another moisturizer. I’m still working my way through other products but I’d love to try it out with the full set!
Feedback
It would be great if this came with a little stick for dipping in the container to get product. I ended up having one from another moisturizer which worked out, but it would be nice if it was included.
Spring & Mulberry
Experience
This was very tasty chocolate! I like that it was date sweetened and had visible pieces of dried fruit. If you like semisweet chocolate then you will likely enjoy this product!
Feedback
The flavor I got was good but I probably wouldn’t get it again. The mango pieces were pretty big so breaking or biting off pieces wasn’t the easiest. The salt was also a bit heavy handed for my liking, but the more I ate the less I noticed it.
Fabletics
Experience
I’ve been a fabletics member for years and I am a big fan of their clothing. Most of the clothing I’ve gotten from them fits well, I rarely return because of the fit. They also lasts a long time, so I would say the quality is high and they have a good variety or styles and colors. Additionally if you are a member you have access to their app with on-demand workouts, which are a very nice benefit.
Feedback
If you are a member (which gives the biggest “discounts”), you do have to remember to skip in the first five days of the month or you will be charged $45 (regardless if you guy an outfit or not). I haven’t really found this to be an issue for me, but if you are forgetful you may end up paying more often than you want. They do count as credits towards an outfit, so it’s not all lost if you do want to buy something.

Kits were delicious and quick to make. They were super easy to use and customize. I like that they came with recipes that had options for all types of veggies and proteins. Very nice that they are shelf stable and I was excited to try some dishes I’ve never made before. Great product!
Verb Energy
Experience
I love these bars and think anyone who consumes caffeine should try them. They have a ton of flavors and are just a great snack for a morning or afternoon pick-me-up. I also think it’s great that they have been branching out with their product options and I especially like their test kitchen protein bars. I really hope they make those available regularly.
Feedback
I appreciated their text model for service, but I’m glad they have moved to an online portal + texts. It nice to be able to see your upcoming orders and manage those through the portal.
Health-ade
Experience
I really like this brand of kombucha. They have very good flavors and I appreciate that the sugar content is generally lower than with other kombucha brands. I also like that they have diversified a bit in products. I tried their cocktail mixers and they were delicious! My only complaint is that they are a bit pricey, but they are found on sale somewhat regularly.

Experience
June Shine makes tasty alcoholic kombucha drinks is a variety of unique flavors. I like that the flavors are not very sweet and the alcohol content is that of a craft beer, but not so high that you can only drink one.
Human Essentials
Experience
Human Essentials has a very cool concept for the packaging of this deodorant. I got the Desert Lime, Mandarin, and Vanilla scent, which smells great! Kind of like a creamsicle. I like that there's no plastic and the way you "raise" the deodorant as it is used is by pulling off the strips to expose the stick. It has a nice texture that goes on well but can come off in clumps (easily smoothed). I haven't noticed any streaking on clothing which is nice, but like many more natural deodorants the smell doesn't last over the course of the work day. I notice that by the afternoon I do need to reapply. Since there's no mechanism attached to the stick, I do notice that when I pull off the lid, the stick gets pulled out of the container a bit, but it is easily pushed back down. It does get soft in the heat, but I haven't noticed any melting in the packaging.
Cards Against Humanity
Experience
I really enjoyed Cards Against Humanity when I first got it several years ago. We played it pretty regularly and it is a great party game if you know a good number of the people you are playing with. After playing it quite a bit, it did get old and I haven't played it in quite a while. Overall its a good party game, but the playability does wane a bit over time.
Feedback
I know there are expansions, but it would be nice if there were new game mechanics or ways to play the game to keep it interesting.
Thinx
Experience
Really love this underwear! They are very comfortable and I feel good wearing them. I like that I buy a lot fewer one-time-use period products and these are easy to use and wash. I like that they come in different absorbency levels and you can choose which ones are best for each day of your period.
Feedback
I do still buy some on-time-use period products as this underwear isn't always best when traveling or outdoor trips (limited access to washing clothes).
