    Happy Wolf

    Happy Wolf is such a cute, playful name which reminds me of the antagonist from "Little Red Riding Hood." I tried the Strawberry flavor and at $10 a box with five small hand-held pieces, this felt like a scam. Don't get me wrong, if I had kids or knew of kids I'd buy fridge-fresh bars for, this would be a simple way to get all the non-GMO, gluten-free, dairy-free, and allergen-free wants & needs into their body, but after taking a small bite, this concept reminded me of Larabar/That's It. All this to say, if this is within arm's distance, I wouldn't mind Happy Wolf, but sadly nothing about this bar left me wanting more.

    Confusion Snacks

    Confusion Snacks left me mad confused because where was this flavor when I was younger and only had Orville to choose from? I tried their Black Truffle Masala Popcorn and it is so addicting! It does take halfway through the bag to taste the black truffle as the Kashmiri red chili was also a strong flavor as well. I would recommend trying the black truffle first as this is a good introduction flavor.

    I don't care if this drink supports energy, mood, and boosts libido because I prefer doing things naturally and by consuming the best flavors. This was disgusting, and I can't imagine having to down this just for it's so-called health benefits-fruits and veggies are what I leave this up to.

    Poppi

    I've seen this can with it's millennial, poppy esque branding on the shelves at all the major stores: Erewhon, Whole Foods, so I decided to try their limited edition Cranberry Fizz and Strawberry Lemon. I am very sensitive to artificial sweeteners and can taste them on the tip of my tongue as the beverage makes its entryway into my mouth and boy did I feel it...After checking the ingredients list, Poppi really makes me scratch my head and wonder, "Were Agave Inulin and Stevia really necessary?" The aftertaste of these artificial sweeteners were so bad that I poured it out into the sink after the few sips to quench my dehydration and replaced my cup with au natural water. Please take notes from your competitors, I'm not too sure which flavor was worse-the cranberry or strawberry. The latter flavor was VERY sweet, and I was actually expecting there to be a tart taste. The branding is cute, but that can only take you so far.

    BAGGU

    I have very, very conflicted views on Baggu for the below reasons... 1. There are a lot of cute designs and the purpose of the brand is sustainability, but why does it feel like they're constantly pushing their customers to buy more of the same style in different designs. Feels like it defeats the whole purpose of the brand. 2. Sandy Liang collab fiasco-Anyone who is well seasoned in the ecommerce space knows that supply chain, selling out are possible roadblocks and that signing up for drops = a way to prevent unhappy customers. Giving the bullish "We weren't anticipating there to be that many purchases/hype" was a driving factor of why I didn't purchase from this collection. Also, you just added bows and am going to hike up the price of a bag for what? 3. Shifty Straps/Handles-The reusable bag's handles are good for holding, but whenever I carry this over my shoulder it always slips, and I'm not too sure if it's due to the material of my clothing but it's annoying and after awhile I worry about the contents of my bag spilling out.

    Liquid Death

    Liquid...Death. What do those two words make you think of? Because for me it was Red Bull, alcohol, but I'm glad that the liquids were the complete opposite. I needed a chaser and a break from drinks, so I was offered Liquid Death, which was a deathly choice for me since I ended up hydrated, rejuvenated, and back to life. The font type and can give off deathly vibes, but I'm glad I took a leap and tried their Sparkling Water in their black can. Would recommend these cans as a relaxer at parties because they're also good conversation starters-"Have you tried it? Is it good?"

    Minor Figures

    If you know me, you know that I'm a fan of the underdogs! Minor Figures decided to enter a crowded place of plant based milk, and I think they've succeeded because I'm a fan. The milk froths as equally well as whole milk and has even better ingredients than Oatly although the pricing can tread above waters depending on the oz and flavor. I love that they have their own canned bevvys like chai, oat, and matcha lattes which can be found at your Erewhon's or cafes.

    Aesop

    I've always passed by an Aesop store and marveled at its aesthetic/branding, however was always skeptical at its ingredients and squeeze bottle packaging. $50 for a 16.9 fl oz of shampoo? Scam, flex, or highway robbery? Dependent on your preference for smelly scents and purpose, my opinion of the brand varies on the products. The shampoo and conditioner work fine, but aren't life changing and can be rotated in with your typical drug store brands-Herbal Essence, Head & Shoulders, but I think the real sad part is that their hand balm doesn't keep its hydration differentiator. After a dollop of Resurrection Aromatique Hand Balm, my hands still feel dry and dehydrated where I'm not too sure how much I need to smother at $33 for a 2.6 oz. The worst part is that I'll apply the Resolute Hydrating Body Balm in the morning after washing my face, and there'll be white dry remnants on my face which I have to use a dab of water to smooth out, or throughout the day there'll be white streaks found on my face, which is embarrassing. If you're doing a flat lay or medicine cabinet shelfie, by all means but nothing here sticks out worth shelling out $$ for.

    Found this brand via the shelf at Boisson and love the unique pairings with their recent one being Fuji Apple & Cardamom! I tend to gravitate towards tart, fruity, not so sweet flavors and the Grapefruit & Pomelo is my tried and true, which I know can't do me wrong and mixes beautifully with either seltzer water or Ghia. I can't wait to try their other flavors like Yuzu & Lime, Spiced Mango & Passionfruit.

    Siena Sleep

    Honestly such a terrible experience, which I would not wish on someone else to go through. I ordered my mattress and contact customer support that it would arrive accordingly on a day which would accommodate me. The next day, I received an email that my mattress was slated to arrive sooner rather than anticipated, so I called FedEx and asked if they could put a vacation hold, which they confirmed was feasible. I was under the impression that the request went through, but the next day, I received an email that my mattress was delivered, which was not part of the plan...The mattress ended up being delivered when no one was home, so by the time I did get home, the mattress was nowhere to be found which I believe someone ended up taking. I've contacted customer support via chat/email, but they were unresponsive and unwilling to provide me the correct amount of care, so I filed a credit card dispute, which I hope will be resolved soon. Bottom line: Do not purchase from Siena, they will not follow through with customer support.
