Since we launched a year ago, we've run, hiked, camped and swum; we've drunk 455 cups of coffee; washed 34 loads of clothes; slept on mattresses for 2,240 hours, and much more, testing a total of 2,040 products from coffee machines to gin to bring you the most rigorous, informed and entertaining buying advice. We've even had a decent stab at identifying the preferred lipstick of a global icon.

Cottage cheese is one of those foods you either love or hate. It's a quick source of protein - perfect for breakfast, a mid-afternoon snack, or a post-workout boost. But some brands make it more hassle than help. We tested eight popular cottage cheeses from stores like Target and Walmart, tasting each plain on the same day to see which ones actually make your fridge feel stocked with something worth eating.

Is there a piece of furniture more important to your aesthetic than one of the best sofas? We know that having (or not having) a top-tier couch can make or break your home's decor, and to help ensure you never, ever end up with a sad sofa selection-or worse, a futon-we've curated a list of best-selling silhouettes to support your search for pieces with major star quality.

Of course you want headphones that sound good. That's a given. When purchasing headphones specifically for travel (or just living the jet-set lifestyle), there's a bit more to it than that. These are the most important factors to consider. Comfort: When you plan on wearing your headphones for hours at a time, they need to be comfortable. Or else what is the point?

Starbucks is currently testing two drinks: the Coco Matcha and Coco Cold Brew. These are part of the company's new initiative to create products that have a greater focus on health and wellness. The two beverages are made with a coconut water base, which offers extra hydration as well as vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. To see how customers are enjoying the new drinks, Starbucks is testing them in 400 stores across New York City, Chicago, Los Angeles, and several cities in the Midwest.

Whether you're heading off on an international adventure or to your local campground, a portable projector can be a fun addition to your packing list. I use projectors everywhere from home to hotel rooms to create a movie theater-like atmosphere when it's time for a quiet night. Most recently, I brought one to Mexico where I was able to create fun and cozy evenings on a girl's trip.

Outdoor projectors are specially designed with high-powered lighting, enabling use even in less-than-ideal light conditions. They are lightweight, water- and dust-resistant, making them effective for outdoor use.

The design of Trader Joe's tasting kitchen is reminiscent of a "cold war interrogation booth" to ensure unbiased product testing, according to Vice President of Product Marketing, Matt Sloan.

"Crumbl’s unique menu is driven by a rigorous testing program involving franchise partner stores, allowing for real-time feedback from both employees and customers before a cookie is launched."

Testing of popular food dehydrators was conducted, covering various food items such as jerky, fruit leather, and dried flowers. The effort revealed insights into their performance and utility.

The Supcase MagFlip wallet offers a rugged design, multiple viewing angles, RFID protection, and a secure cardholder, making it a versatile MagSafe accessory.

Trader Giotto's Imported Olive Oil was the biggest disappointment... it's the exact opposite - it's thin and colorless, so pale that it's barely visible against the white plate.

I have long, thick and naturally wavy hair, however, I always tend to blow-dry it straight...so I was intrigued to give this GHD hair tool a go.
