What are your favorite products?

XD Idea I had a loooong time ago, thought this would be a fun topic, but...

What are your favorite products you like to use, and why? You can include specific websites you shop at (I have a few examples below) as well.

Here are mine:

Edible Products:

Endangered Species Chocolate makes some amazingly delicious dark-chocolate bars. They actually include dried fruit in them, such as raspberries and blueberries, and they also use some great flavors like mint and espresso beans. Here's the great thing - part of their profits go to nature conservation, and each bar has a code you can redeem for either a coupon for their products or a donation to their charity.

Zola Acai is another product I love. It is a bottle of acai berry juice that is picked from Brazil, and is absolutely awesome. In addition, they have come up with some smoothie varieties that are cool too. I highly recommend trying the Smooth Green Smoothie Blend, which features Graviola and Cupuaçu in addition to Acai, which is an amazing blend of flavors! This company also gives part of their profits back to the Brazilian community, especially funding education programs for the children there. Look for their products in the Produce department of your grocery store.

SoBe makes some great drinks for a low price. I've been drinking their 'elixirs' such as power, energy, and nirvana drinks for a long time, and now have become a huge fan of their Lifewater products. Lifewater is surprisingly delicious for flavored water, and features some great flavors such as pomegranate, acai, passion fruit, melon, and tangerine. It looks like they just released some new flavors, too: cherimoya punch and strawberry dragonfruit.

Clothing brands:

Columbia Sportswear is one of my newest favorite clothing brands. I love their Performance Fishing Gear (PFG) shirts, which have a vent on the back to keep you insulated. Their clothing also helps guard against solar radiation kind of like wearing sunscreen. In addition, some of their products are actually made from recycled polyester - they are actually made from recycled bottles of water! I'm proud to call them an awesome company since they recycle to make some great clothes!

New Balance has become my favorite brand of tennis shoes. I've always worn off-brands for a long time, and after wearing my first pair of NB's, I never wanted to wear any other brand again. I totally dig their styles, and think they are some of the most comfortable and durable brands of tennis shoes out there.

Website stores:

Nuclear Blast has become my favorite place to check out heavy metal bands. My newest love as far as music has become power metal, especially bands that come from Scandinavia and Europe. Nuclear Blast features many awesome artists such as Sonata Arctica, Amorphis, Lacuna Coil, Hammerfall, and Nightwish.

Forestry Suppliers is my favorite place to pick up geology, camping, and hiking gear. They ship very fast (my last package from them came in 2 days at the cheapest price), and they have some great products. Things I've gotten from them include a rock pick, a GPS, and a Brunton compass.

I guess that's enough for me. I think this would be a fun way to discover companies and websites that we love. Please post yours!

Gentleman's Emporium is a

Gentleman's Emporium is a wonderful online store to pick up victorian style clothing and accessories. I envy a lot of their products and when I get a job I know I'll go on a huge forest spending spree. I have heard they have very good quality and also are branching into carrying steampunk accessories. Did I mention they have Victorian bathing suits?


Etsy What can't you get here? It's wonderful for all kinds of home made products. I have bought a lot of jewelry and supplies from sellers here and love just browsing the new vintage and home made items.

Jones Soda. I swear by this brand. I love all of their drinks and they always use real cane sugar. They have all kinds of bizarre seasonal flavors though I usually stick with berry lemonade and strawberry lime.

Satya Saibaba Nag Champa Incense. What can I say? This is hands down my favourite scent in the whole wide world. It's a specific blend of sandlewood and other earthy scents that I absolutely adore. I have both incense that I burn often and soap that I wash with. They also make perfumes and other related products. I like to light the incense while I am away at class to give my room and clothes an alluring fragrance.

Jones Soda is awesome! The

Jones Soda is awesome! The first time I ever got to try it was when we first got a Target in my city. Strawberry Lime is my favorite (i love the Halloween flavors too), and my brother has a collection of the various wrapper photos.

Etsy is a great site too! I've never been to that Gentleman's Emporium site, but I totally want some of that stuff on there, especially some of the jungle explorer clothes! XD

Yeah I got pushed into

Yeah I got pushed into drinking the chocolate bunny flavour.
It was..not the most horrible thing I've ever drank, but pretty close. I wouldn't even look at the mashed potato one. -laughs-

The most interesting one I've ever drank was a Japanese soda that was octopus flavoured.

This...is an insanely cool

This...is an insanely cool idea! So here we go!

Mehandi is where I go for my henna - I henna my hair about once ever 3 months or so. This is the best place for good, real skin quality henna - and the good skin quality stuff is what you want to use in your hair. :3 Weird, I know.

Suave is pretty much the be-all, end-all of my hair/face-care maintenance. I don't use conditioner, I don't use soap. Sometimes, I'll break out Neutrogena for my face, if it gets really broken out. Otherwise, I wash my hair and bathe with Suave Daily Clarifying shampoo. 'Sall I need.

The Carrot Box is for those of you who can't wear metals - all of the rings are made from glass, wood, or acrylic. And they're all really funky looking. :3

Side Show Toy, while expensive, is easy the best place, hands down, to get movie, television, some comic, and other proprietary collectables. I have at least one figure from there, that I know of - my Darth Maul bust - and it's awesome. Yea, it's expensive, but if you're like me, you're willing to way.

Wheat Thins. I'd like to live off of them, plz.

Oh! L, I got my henna from

Oh!

L, I got my henna from Mehandi too long ago. Smiling

I stopped getting it due to stupid things with the country deciding to label it a 'food product' and jacking up the price but I'm still a fan.

I always wanted to dye my hair with Henna but I have the problem where it'd be pricy/hard to keep up and mess my texture if I decide to stop doing it.

Probably a good thing I

Probably a good thing I didn't include some of my...erm...male hygiene stuff I use...or should I?

Will you peeps laugh at me if I mention I use AXE products? XD

Philosophy has the best

Philosophy has the best smelling body wash ever. I currently have Pumpkin Spice Muffin and Peppermint Hot Chocolate, so I always smell like something from a coffee shop. (:
Threadless. Awesomest t-shirt designs ever. 'Nuff said.
Schwans has some of the best frozen food ever. Their bagel dogs, birthday cake batter ice cream, and cookie dough is to die for. My family has actually recieved Schwans since before I was born, and we've had the same guy deliver us food this whole time. He practically feels like family.

Hmmm.. That's all I got for now. Nice idea Quad!
