    I'm not a fan of quip for a few reasons: 1. the brush shape is incredibly average and feels outdated in a sea of innovative shapes, bristle heights, etc. 2. while the shaft is thin, it can get pretty slippery when your hands are wet. 3. overall, it's overhyped and just not the best on the market. Don't fall for marketing and peer pressure. Check out Suri for the best toothbrush imo! Also tried the floss because I was trying to be more sustainable but the holder is clunky and large, and not ergonomic at all. I just switched to compostable flossers instead.

    Fly by Jing is one of the best additions I've made to my cooking in recent years. My absolute favorite is the Zhong sauce. It's rich, complex, sweet, hot, and savory. I put it on my rice bowls, noodles, in my ramen, on eggs... honestly everything can benefit from a drop of this stuff!

    Outdoor Voices was founded in 2013 and slowly blew up as a high-quality and cool alt to Lululemon. Since then, the founder left and the products have slowly declined in style and quality. There are definitely a few items I still love of theirs, including their socks, tanks, and a few running shorts that I wear almost every day in the summer. You definitely have to be pickier with their stuff now, but if you can find something that works for you, it's worth it.

    I tried Billie's razor a few years ago when I was looking for a better alternative to Venus and was pretty disappointed. The razor blades didn't seem to shave close enough for me and even caused some irritation. I really wanted to like this product but I ended up returning it after a week or so. Now I use Harry's razors and they're amazing quality (and cheaper!). Billie may have updated their product since I tried it, but I wouldn't test it again.

    Mighty Patch pimple patches are the only brand I use for my face. I pop one on at night and my pimples are usually gone by the morning. Their "invisible" line is actually not noticeable at all and I've even worn them to work or on Zoom calls without anyone noticing. My only issue is that they're a little expensive for a bunch of stickers, but still worth it IMO.

    Resisted converting to this type of reusable menstrual product for far too long. Finally got a Flex Disc a few months ago and I wish I had done it sooner- it's quality reusable silicone, comfortable, and most importantly, holds a lot. As someone with a heavy period, I only need to change it once a day (which is incredible) and it's so comfortable you can't feel it at all. Just rinse with sensitive soap and boil for 10 mins in between periods and you're good to go. No more tampons with who knows what chemicals in them that irritate, are bulky to carry around, and EXPENSIVE. I'm super happy with Flex. The only complaint is some staining that I can't remove (even with their own soap products), but whatever. I'm super grateful to have found this!

    I decided to try doublesoul after seeing countless Instagram ads and feeling a little dated in my go-to Bombas. I purchased their 6-pack of colorful tall socks and absolutely loved the softness, color, and cushiness of them! In my order, they accidentally sent me the wrong size of the powder blue pair and when I emailed customer service, they gave me a code for 3 free pairs. I tried to order the powder blue again (thinking it was a logical/warehouse error) and I again accidentally received the incorrect size. After communicating with CS again, they sent me another free code, this time for 6(!) free pairs. Corrected my error this time and ordered a few of the short socks as well and I am so happy with my purchases and my interactions with the brand. Highly recommend!

    EDIT: Updated my review to 5 stars. I LOVE this toothbrush and even convinced my partner to get one too. This is by far the best one on the market in quality, size, charge time, battery, functionality, and sustainability. ORIGINAL: I've been following SURI for a few years and wanted to purchase their toothbrush back in 2020 but they hadn't launched in the US yet. Cut to 3 years with a BURST toothbrush and I felt like it was not only pretty large (especially when packing for weekend trips) but kind of wasteful since their replacement heads can't be recycled. I decided to follow back up with SURI and I'm so glad I did. SURI is made of all sustainable and plant-based(!) materials which is super unique, has a thinner (but still a good weight in the hand) toothbrush, a UV light-cleaning case for the brush, simple and thin (think: portable) chargers, and a magnetic mirror mount. Plus, the aesthetic is gorgeous; definitely hitting that minimalist vibe with a sustainable and earthy-feel. The brush itself has a few different vibration settings and the bristles are medium firm. The replacement heads are fully recyclable which is just the icing on the cake for me. I give it only 4/5 stars because I've only been using it a few weeks so far and can't tell the longevity of the product yet, but I do recommend it so far!

    Friends with TV DAD

    I've been buying from TV Dad for 2 years and I'm always excited about their new drops. I love their long-sleeved shirts, hats, and beanies the most- everything is super soft & comfy and their designs are always fun and nostalgic with a bit of an edge. They're always collabing with new cool artists to make products that really have personality and a message.

    Feedback

    The thing I love most is that every time you place an order, they send a hand-written & personalized note thanking you for the order and tons of free stickers and other toys like bouncy balls or plastic aliens!

    I use the Perk Up dry shampoo constantly. I love the smell and it works without weighing your hair down or making it feel dirtier. I have the volume spray as well, but very rarely use it (haven't really noticed it working differently from the dry shampoo, except stickier)
