If we’re being honest here...
Size Matters (and Yumster Yo! Bars Missed the Memo)
Soft, chewy, and chocolatey enough to win over a date-hater—Yumster Yo! Bars are the tiny snack I didn’t expect to love. But at just three inches long, you’ll need the whole box to feel satisfied. Here’s the full scoop from a busy mom who ate them all.
Self-Control? Never Heard of Her
These Whole Foods 365 Sour Peach Rings hit with sour, follow with sweet, and disappear faster than my patience at bedtime. $3.49, slightly bougie, and completely addictive—yes, I ate the whole bag, and no, I’m not sorry.
Blueberry, Hemp, and Regret
I wanted a super snack. What I got was 22 tiny bites of blueberry-ish bird feed for ten dollars. Sure, they’re organic, vegan, and packed with wellness influencer buzzwords—but do they actually taste good? Let’s just say, IMBHO, this “superfood” is more super meh.
Bananas, But Make Them Stale
Freeze-dried fruit is my weakness, but these bananas were a total flop. Think stale fruit meets strong cardboard with a side of regret. At $6.69 a bag, I expected better. Here’s the full scoop in my biased, honest opinion.
Review? I Was Too Busy Eating.
I wasn't prepared to fall in love with a box of lentils and rice, but here we are. This red lentil rice from Thrive Market smells like garlic and paprika heaven, cooks in one pot, and tastes like Spanish rice with a glow-up. Honestly, I forgot I was supposed to review it—because I was too busy eating it.
Smells Like a Hug, Acts Like a Frenemy
Listen. I love a good hair day as much as the next mom trying to do five things before the coffee even finishes brewing. The moment I massaged in Acure’s Ultra Hydrating Shampoo & Conditioner and caught that warm almond scent—like childhood in a bottle—I knew this was more than just a wash. It was a main character moment. Somewhere in the distance, a wind machine fired up and my shower became a cinematic masterpiece.
Nacho average snack
Craving a snack that’s healthy and hits the spot? IMBHO put Thrive Market’s Grain-Free Tortilla Chips and salsa to the test—crunch, salt, spice (or lack thereof) and all. Spoiler: They’re not quite Chipotle, but they just might surprise you.
No more knot-so-good hair days
If you’ve tried detanglers before, you’ve probably met bottled disappointment. Because, yeah, I definitely have.
After testing nearly every so-called miracle spray on the market, I finally found the one:
Honest Vanilla Citrus Detangler Spray. It melts knots, smells amazing, and doesn't come with a side of guilt or chemicals. Bonus: It passed the kid and the cosmetologist standard.
Fluff you, Jet-Puffed
I never thought I’d say this, but Jet-Puffed marshmallows are dead to me. Dandies have completely redefined what a marshmallow should be—clean, rich, and free of questionable junk. If you’re ready to upgrade your marshmallow game, read on.
Heavenly, but difficult to love
Heavenly Hunks are the perfect mix of indulgence and guilt-free snacking. With real, simple ingredients and a flavor profile that’s oat-forward with a coconut twist, they’re a treat for the taste buds. But their high-maintenance storage instructions might leave you wondering if the relationship is worth it.
LÄRA bar none.
Can a snack bar be healthy, sustainable, and kid-approved? LÄRABAR Kids promises all three, but does it deliver? My 4-year-old food critic and I put these mini bars to the test. Spoiler: the chocolate chip flavor might just win your heart (and your kid's too).
Soom to be gone
Soom Snack Bites (Tahini Double Chocolate) are delectable, sweet treats for anyone that craves sweets but want treats that are plant-based and vegan. From the fudgy texture to their perfect balance of sweet and nutty, these bites were worth every penny.
I’m corn-flicted
“I’m corn-flicted” sums it up perfectly. Fillo’s Walking Tamales - Corn Poblano Rajas are convenient, clean, and vegan-friendly, but do they deliver the taste? I am honestly torn- the aroma is tantalizing, but the texture reminds me of refried beans (which are definitely not my favorite). Did they deliver? Or did they disappoint?
Zero credence given to Credo
I’ll admit, trying Credo’s Smoky Cheddar Oat Milk Cheeze was more than a challenge—not just for my taste buds but for my cheese-loving soul. Its smoky aroma and its liquid texture, this plant-based alternative pushed all my boundaries. Was it worth it? Let’s just say, some experiments are best left in the can…
Fan-illa cake, even if you can’t bake
Miss Jones Baking Co.'s Vanilla Cake Mix, a premium organic option for baking lovers. At a slightly higher price point than most cake mixes, it promises a "from-scratch" taste, and I was more than ready to put it to the test. With details about the ingredients, baking experience, and a few mishaps along the way, I share my thoughts on whether this cake mix really delivers. Will it be the vanilla dream I hoped for, or a total flop? Spoiler: It’s absolutely delicious—if you follow the instructions!
A masala marvel
Ideal for busy days, this one-pot wonder is not only simple to prepare but also offers a tantalizing "zing" that will elevate your lunch experience.
