Who We Are

Who We Are

We are three Phoenix-based friends trying the latest and giving it to you straight. We document our trys, give you our real feels and let you decide if it’s worth it. Look, we’ve all been curious about that product we keep hearing about, wondered which mascara to buy, or needed to know which bed sheets are the best. That’s where we come in. Gotta Try It is a resource and a community for you. At the end of the day, we’re all searching for ways to improve upon ourselves, our home, our family, our lives.

WE ARE YOU.

Our Story

In 2019, Gotta Try It was born. The idea stemmed from an annual “Favorite Things” lunch that Gretchen attends each year. Coming home with 10 new items recommended and loved from trusted friends was such a gift. After a few years, others caught wind of the lunch and couldn’t wait to hear from her – “What new things did you get? Anything good? Tell me!” After all, the best recommendations come from friends! Today, Gotta Try It has evolved into “A Guide to All Things Good.” This guide is a curated collection of what we have tried and feel is worthy of recommending. You’ll find clothing, beauty and health products, travel, food and experiences, just to name a few.

Nice to Meet You

Everywhere we look, we see new products, fashion trends, recipes, travel destinations, kitchen gadgets, you name it. We all want to “try it”…but is it worth it? That’s where we come in. Think of us as three new friends and supporters of the products, businesses and things we love.
