If you’re not sure what to say, or wondering how to take a helpful photo or video — don’t worry. There’s no right or wrong. Anything you share is helpful. But to make it easy, we’ve put together a simple little guide to help spark some ideas and show the kind of things other customers find useful.

 

✍️ What You Can Share in Your Review

Every story is different — and that’s exactly what makes reviews so helpful. You don’t need to write a lot or get everything perfect. Simply sharing your personal experience can give others the confidence to try something new.

 

3 Tips for Leaving a Written Review

🌿 1. Share Your Story

• Why did you start using the products?
• What product are you taking?
• What were you hoping to support? (Energy, inflammation, digestion, sleep, etc.)

 

🌿 2. Share How You Use It

• How do you take it? (Capsules, powder, tea, balm, or oil?)
• When do you take it? (Morning, afternoon, before bed?)
• Any daily habits? (Smoothies, porridge, teas, meals, skincare routine?)
  

  
  

🌿 3. Share What You’ve Noticed

• What changes have you felt?
• How long have you been using it?
• Would you recommend it to others?

⭐ Real stories are the most helpful for others considering their first order.

 

📸 How to Take a Helpful Photo for Your Review

Photos bring your review to life and give others a real feel for how our products fit into everyday routines. No special equipment is needed — natural light and a simple phone photo are all it takes to create a helpful, authentic review.

 

3 Tips for adding a Photo to your Review

• Keep your photo natural, bright, and real.
• Simple phone photos are perfect — no fancy setup needed.
• Clean backgrounds help your photo stand out.

 

📸 5 Photo Ideas You Can Try:

1. Show how you use it — for example, pouring tea, stirring powder into a smoothie, sprinkling onto breakfast, or applying balm.
2. Hold the product in your hand — simple, natural photo with you holding the jar, bottle, or packet.
3. Product next to your daily routine — place the product beside your morning supplements, smoothie, or tea cup to show when you take it.
4. Close-up of the product and label — capture a clear shot of the product packaging with the label facing forward.
5. Before you open it — show the sealed product on your kitchen bench, pantry shelf, or with your delivery package to capture that “just received” moment.

⭐ Photos help others quickly see how a product could fit into their everyday life. 

 

🎥 How to Record a Helpful Video Review

Video reviews are a great way to share your experience and give others a feel for how the product works in everyday life. Keep it simple, relaxed, and natural — just like you’re chatting and sharing a few thoughts. 

 

3 Tips for Making a Video Review

• Record in a quiet location with good natural light.
• Speak naturally — no script needed.
• Keep it short — 30 to 60 seconds is perfect.

 

🎥 6 Things You Could Share in Your Video Review:

1. Why you started using it — what made you want to try this product?
2. What you use it for — which product you’re using, and what you were hoping to support (energy, inflammation, digestion, skin, etc.)
3. How you use it — how you take it (capsules, powder, tea, balm, oil), and how often.
4. When you take it — morning, evening, with food, part of your daily routine, etc.
5. Where it fits into your routine — in your kitchen, at breakfast, part of your skincare, with your supplements.
6. Who you’d recommend it to — the type of person who might also benefit from using it.

⭐ Hearing real experiences in your own words can be one of the most helpful ways for others to feel confident in choosing and using a product.

 

 

🚫 8 Things to Avoid When Leaving a Product Review

5. Choose quiet, distraction-free spaces when filming.
6. Submit just one review per product to avoid duplicates.
7. Be honest — share your real experience.
8. Focus your review on the product itself, not on pricing, promotions, shipping, or customer service.
