There is a full 16 fl oz. bottle of apple cider vinegar sitting in my kitchen cabinet. It’s been there for months because after I cracked it open, took a whiff, and an unfortunate sip, I immediately decided it was far too disgusting for me to drink every single morning. I was well aware of its myriad supposed health benefits — enhanced energy, healthier skin, digestion, immune, and weight loss support, to name a few — but my taste buds prevailed.

I hadn’t thought about apple cider vinegar since, but then a jar of Goli Nutrition Apple Cider Vinegar Gummies ( $19 ) — yes, gummies — landed on my desk from a press mailing. Goli created the world’s first apple cider vinegar gummy. So any other apple cider vinegar gummy is just a copycat. Sorry, it is just the truth.

One gummy is made with 500 mg of apple cider vinegar, and according to the brand, two gummies (the recommended serving size) is equivalent to one shot of liquid apple cider vinegar. The gummies were designed to make adding apple cider vinegar into your routine a little easier and also just more enjoyable to consume.

Before I get into my review, I am 23 years young now which means I am pretty cautious about ingredients and I pay more attention to how it makes my body feel. I am a fan of gummies and any healthy gummies I ever had tasted great and the results were all positive.

I was pleasantly surprised by Goli’s gummy rendition, though. Frankly, they taste like candy. Sweet — but not too sweet — without any weird artificial aftertaste. The gummies are gluten-free, vegan, and made without any artificial preservatives, flavors, colors, and sweeteners. I now look forward to my postlunch ritual of popping two in my mouth.

In addition to the superstar apple cider vinegar, the gummies are made with organic superfoods like pomegranate and beetroot, as well as vitamins B12 and B9.

Remember, these gummies are not designed to be an all-in-one health supplement. They are designed to make it easier to get some apple cider vinegar in your diet. Goli gummy intends to improve digestion, support weightloss, improve hair health, improve skin health, improve heart health, and so much more.

Each bottle holds 60 gummies, so if you are an apple cider lover, I would suggest you first get the 3 month supply ( $57 ).

So have I noticed more radiant skin than usual or a boost in my energy?

I can’t report anything noticeably different about my digestion or my complexion YET, but that is because I just got my bottle a week ago. I was just too excited and couldn’t wait to share Goli with my followers. However, I do notice that the gummies do satiate my desk-side sugar cravings when I choose to take them in the morning, and I like incorporating more superfoods into my daily diet.

I could also use the vitamin B12 to help power me through hard workouts or my inevitable 4 p.m. crashes. It is tasty tasty which makes taking apple cider vinegar more enjoyable. Now I can’t wait to get my day started with the help of Goli. Don’t forget to use “BeautyLeeBar ” to save money. Who doesn’t like to save money right?

Another bonus is that each order causes Goli to donate a six month supply of essential vitamins to a child with malnutrition. They can do this through a partnership with Vitamin Angels, a nonprofit dedicated to ending child malnutrition.

Malnutrition is the #1 cause of preventable child deaths. That’s why Goli is proud to support the work of Vitamin Angels, who continually strive to reduce malnutrition in children by giving them access to lifesaving vitamins and minerals.

Tried Glossier’s Best Sellers. Here’s What I Think.

Published on by LeeLeave a comment

Did they defy my expectations? Let’s find out.

After months of eyeing Glossier’s line-up of products, I decided to do a haul in hopes that their best sellers were as good as they appeared to be. Known for their minimalist approach to beauty, makeup, and skincare, the Emily Weiss-founded cosmetics company has long since been a favorite of minimalists and maximalists alike. For beauty lovers who gravitate towards “no-makeup” makeup looks, Glossier holds the keys to the kingdom, while makeup afficianados who are more about that beat-face life have their favorite tried and true beauty finds from the brand (Boy Brow, we’re looking at you).

As far as my own personal adventure into Glossier Land, I decided to add their cleanser, serums, and moisturizers as well as a few of their top-selling makeup offerings. Keep reading for a quick rundown of my buys and why I cannot get enough of the magic Glossier is selling.

Skincare First

As I have matured, skincare has become top priority. Products that make me glow like I am well-loved and stress-free will always be a fave of mine. Glossier gets this right with a full line of products that take my glow to next-level heights. I use a three-part system that leaves me so radiant, makeup isn’t a necessity.

Milky Jelly Cleanser, $9+

What it is: A gentle-yet-effective creamy gel face wash for all skin types

For starters, I wash my face with Glossier’s Milky Jelly Cleanser. The subtle rosy scent of this cleanser immediately makes me smile but, more than that, the creamy texture infuses my skin with moisture from the onset. With five skin conditioners included, it’s no wonder this product is so soothing and nourishing. It is one of few cleansers that doesn’t leave my skin feeling dry after it is rinsed away. “Rejuvenating” best describes this one.

After rinsing away the Milk Jelly Cleanser, I move right along to the Super Duo. It consists of two top-rated serums infused with vitamins. This combo works together to hydrate and brighten skin. Super Bounce is just what the doctor ordered for soothing moisture that hydrates with hyaluronic acid and Vitamin b5. Although the name speaks for itself, I can confirm that Super Glow indeed brightens skin with its powerful combination of Vitamin C and magnesium.

I follow up with a moisturizer and then jump into Futuredew.

If I had to choose only one Glossier product to live by, Futuredew would be it. You know that dewy fresh face look you get directly after using a good moisturizer or finishing up a facial? Futuredew creates this look with all-day staying power, and I cannot get enough of it. This serum is made of oils and light-reflecting minerals that will leave you looking glorious.

The Super Pack, $65

What it is: Three daily, vitamin-packed serums that deliver hydration, more even tone, and clarity

I could stop here and be over the moon, but when I’m feeling really ambitious, I use the following makeup products for a “no-makeup” look:

Makeup Second

Glossier describes its makeup line as “Products that give you options but never cover you up, turn you into someone else, or over-complicate your routine.” And I cannot find a single lie. On days where I want to look fresh and lightly done, I go with Glossier all the way.

Starting with Cloud Paint cheek color, I set the tone. It’s literally a gel-cream blush you can’t mess up. This buildable color blends naturally and is easy to use. No brushes required. Simply dab a bit on your cheeks and use your finger to tap it into your skin. The end results? A slightly flushed look that makes it look like you’re truly blushing a bit from the inside out. It’s that simple.

Cloud Paint, $18

What it is: A seamless, buildable gel-cream blush that’s fun and easy to wear

Next, I like to follow up with Haloscope in “Moonshine”. This crystal-infused highlighter enhances the dewy effect with a barely-there look that is irresistible. It’s my second fave product. The moment I FaceTimed my person and he said, “You look so beautiful. Don’t put on makeup today,” I KNEW Haloscope would forever hold a special place in my heart.

Haloscope, $22

What it is: A crystal-infused highlighter with skin conditioning benefits

I add a hint of color to my lips by using Generation G Sheer Matte Lipstick for a casual “I didn’t try” look. Although a matte finish, it’s packed with moisture and is the cherry on top of my “Yassssss, fresh face” look.

Glossier Pulled Up

Before going all-in on the dopeness of Glossier, I was sure to visit @pullupforchange to see Glossier’s diversity numbers. I was pleased to see the company’s commitment to diversity as well as its recent release of a new grant for black-owned beauty businesses. I am happy to report that we can shop Glossier guilt-free. That’s good news we can use.
