    SUPERDRIP

    Purchased through a Thingtesting offer

    I really wanted to like SUPERDRIP. It seemed like the first naturally-based product made for perspiration that actually worked. However, after trying it out consistently for a month, I didn't see much of a difference in regards to excessive sweat management. It also takes a long time to dry up and makes my armpits too moist. It certainly delivers on it's odor relief claim, however; I really like the tea tree oil smell. But because it isn't effective in managing sweating for me, I don't see this as being a repeat purchase for me. Really wish it could have been. The search continues.

    I tried all three sauces from Homiah. I used shrimp and rice noodles in the Singaporean laksa soup, beef for the Indonesian rendang, and chicken thighs and potatoes for the Malaysian red curry. I have to say, the design and packaging are excellent. They are colorful and the graphics are very visually appealing. However, I found the sauces themselves to be just OK. As someone who has tried all three curries before, I thought they missed the mark on allowing the flavors to really distinguish themselves from one another. The packets are also small, especially for the price they retail at. I like the the ingredients are natural, but I still find myself wanting in regards to the flavor profiles and will probably stick to what I can easily find at my local Southeast Asian grocery store.

    Thinx

    When my period is around the corner, the first thing that comes to mind for me is to grab a pair of my Thinx underwear in case it comes early. The pairs I have invested in are intended for medium and heavy flow, and I've always felt comfortable in them, however, I do not feel comfortable using them alone -- I usually pair it with a reusable period cup. My favorite is the hi-waisted heavy flow design because it's sheer on the sides and so sexy!

    Could use thicker material for heavier flow days, PFAS

    I've been a Ghia fan for a cool minute riding the non-alcoholic drink wave. It's an acquired taste for sure with it's bitter herbs and extracts-forward flavor with background of Riesling grapes. I have tried both the Le Spritz cans and the tonic itself with mixers. For first timers, I definitely recommend a sweeter mixer, like a ginger beer or tonic water. The vibe and type-font is so utterly mod and I love that the creator is super friendly and cool.

    I have loved everything I have bought from Mejuri so far. Since finding out about the brand and buying a couple products 4 years ago, I can say with ease that this is a trustworthy brand that makes high-quality, modern jewelry. My favorite for daily wear are the 14k solid gold large hoops. They are simple, classy, and beautiful. I appreciate their fair pricing and environmental consciousness. There are brands that offer dupes at much cheaper prices, but they don't offer the same quality, long-lasting products that Mejuri does. The packaging is also adorable, making it really feel like you're getting a gift. It's so classy, I love it!

    I love Supergoop's Mineral Mattescreen in SPF 40 and it's a product I find myself reaching for daily. It offers sun protection while leaving behind a tinted, matte appearance that minimizes the size of my super obvious pores and offers shine control. There is nothing worse about sunscreen than the white-purple cast that gets left behind and this is not a worry with this mineral-based sunscreen. It's clean, science-based, toxin-free formula makes it approachable and good for regular use. I was recommended this product by many friends and I'm glad I took their advice!

    Fewer product options please, having too many options available leads to confusion and decision paralysis

    I tried a few pairs of shorts and tops from Outdoor Voices and adore them. They hold up so well in heat and humidity and are great for regular use. I love the breathable materials used, colors available, and sizing options. The cut and color are modern and reflective of an ethos that someone who cares about their health and fitness without compromising on style would wear.

    Everlane

    I've been an early supporter of Everlane and it's really awesome to see them continue to thrive for so long. Some of the oldest products that I have bought from them include a navy sweatshirt and a gray boxy shirt that 8 years down the line still hold up. The quality is excellent. I enjoy investing in clothing pieces and supporting companies that are transparent and don't use weird marketing techniques to lure me in. Their products are modern yet timeless, and pair well as standard pieces.

    As someone who grew up familiar with garbanzo bean flour, I was ecstatic to try pasta made from chickpeas. I am always trying to add more protein to my diet and minimize my gluten intake. It has a nutty taste, with the texture of pasta without being too sticky, soft, and tough like other alternative pastas. I enjoy it best as penne in cream and vegetable-forward dishes. My favorite dishes I've made with it were a summer squash pasta salad and a kale and blackened chicken Mac 'n Cheese.

    Drive down the price to make it the healthier, easier choice when faced off with cheap white flour pasta

    I've long been a supporter of Warby Parker and their brick and mortar retail stores. They always have the most updated and progressive looks in frames while still remaining affordable. I have a very high prescription that necessitates 1.74 high index lenses and it doesn't cost me an arm and a leg to these lenses made for my frame like it does at other retailers like Lenscrafters. The customer service representatives are always so knowledgeable and help me decide which frame style is best both for my face and for the ultra high-index lenses I am getting so I can get the best vision without compromising on fashion.
