Strong and very convenient
Size: 50 Count
These paper bowls are sturdy and hold up well even with hot or liquid foods. They don’t get soggy easily and are microwave safe, which makes them very convenient. The size is also great for soups, cereal, or leftovers. Good quality for disposable bowls and very practical for everyday use.

Sturdy, great value, very utilitarian
Size: 50 Count
Exactly what I wanted. Exact quality thickness and sturdiness. Only small downside is they're coated in a wax like substance and stick together so you have to pry them apart and if you microwave something, it tends to meld together and also stick into the bowl. But I still love them especially the price.

Smells Soooooo Good
This lotion was recommended to me for the winter months. It makes my skin feel super soft, it feels good, easy to rub in, very moisturizing but noy greasy, the scent is perfect but can be a bit too strong for a boy/man. The quality is amazing and the appearance is appealing.
