Tried and Tested: The HONEST List

intro Jun 24, 2026

You ask me about everything. Supplements, snacks, shoes, skincare, floss, you name it. I love that you trust me enough to ask, and honestly, I got tired of repeating myself in DMs. So here's where I'm putting it all.

This is a running list of things we've actually tried in our house. Some we loved, some... not so much. Every post gets one of three honest verdicts:

Worth It (we'd buy it again, no hesitation) ⚠️ Mixed Bag (has its place, but with caveats) ❌ Not For Us (didn't work out, here's why)

A few honesty notes upfront. These are real opinions based on real use, not paid placements (I don't currently use affiliate links, what you read here is just what we think). And everything here is our personal family experience, not professional or medical advice. What's "worth it" for us might not be for your dancer, and that's okay. Take what's useful and leave the rest.

New reviews get added as we try things. Got something you want me to test? Email us at team@thrivingdancers.com or DM in instagram here: @thrivingdancersco
