I Love Owls & A Trader Joe's Review

I'm kind of Owl obsessed right now, if you can't tell by my blog layout. I think Owls are so cool! They scream fall to me, so I am on the hunt for lots of owl stuff. LOVE them!

I'm actually making my daughters some owl clothing, which I shall debut sometime soon. I'm having a lot of fun doing it too ;o)

As for my review, remember me talking about my Trader Joe's trip? I bought some of their store brand soap, Tea Tree Oil pure vegetable soap. The name sounds kind of nasty, and I was thinking...vegetable soap? Hmmm...

Well, it's awesome, plain and simple. I love the Tea Tree Oil soap a LOT. Seriously, it's the best. I use it on my face and my face looks fantastic. Better than ever if you ask me. I tend to break out a lot, especially during that certain time of the month, and this has really helped with that. I already use pure Tea Tree Oil on my blemishes when I get them, so this has just added to the awesomeness that is my skin. It's keeping my breakouts to a minimum, my skin is less oily and I think it just looks a hell of a lot better.

So if you have a Trader Joe's nearbye, go buy some. Now. Your skin will thank you for it.

My Foray Into Trader Joe's

Today while the kids and I were out doing our Old Navy returns, we stopped by the new Trader Joe's that just opened up in our city. I love Trader Joe's, and it has been a long time since I've been to one. I have a few favorites from the store, so I was happy to purchase those again. I say foray because my shopping trip really was like a quick foray into enemy territory. It was so incredibly busy that there were no available carts, and I was forced to use a basket. That turned out to be a plus though, as I didn't have to navigate between the throngs of shoppers and their bright red carts.

I got all of the following for about $26.



I did get a few doubles of some things (i.e the Chinese crackers, the milk chocolate candy bars, and I also got a pack of Chicken Jerky snacks for the dog). You'll notice the lemonade is opened, I opened it as soon as we got home! haha

The yogurt is for the No Pudge Brownies. I will be doing a review of those over the next couple days, so be sure to look out for it! I have heard of Dr Bronner's before, but have never used it before, so I am excited to try it. The Tea Tree oil soap I am going to use for my face I think, or at least try it. Tea Tree oil always works for me when I break out, so I'll see how this stuff fares. I will do a review of that too! (that round container hiding behind the Chinese crackers is a tub of cinnamon ginger cat cookies that I got for the kids. A huge tub for only $2.49!!)

I'm off to enjoy the sunny weather with the kids. We're counting down till the cold starts, so we may as well enjoy the summer while it lasts.
