My favorites 13 of 25

This is my dinner from a few nights ago. It took about 20 minutes to put together, thanks to the wonders of Trader Joes. The pasta? Thats lobster ravioli and yes its a good as that sounds. The asparagus? Yeah I bought a pound of frozen asparagus for the same price a small bundle would cost me. Usually frozen veggies taste like frozen veggies, but not these. They tasted like they had never been frozen before. That is the beauty of Trader Joes, their food is just so good, frozen or fresh! Oh those round patties? They are from IKEA, they were tasty too. But this post is about my love for Trader Joes.
Ive grown up on Trader Joes growing up in Southern California. My family would shop there over the grocery store. It wasnt a health food store, but it was cheap and had a lot healthy choices. Most of the store is full of products that Trader Joes themselves has created. Other part is of the best brands and types of foods they cant seem to make better. I was sad to leave Trader Joes when I moved to Carolina. I thought for a very long time that this state didnt even have one till I found out that an hour away is a Trader Joes. It is worth the drive and the gas to get the foods that I love. I adore artichokes and there was no way I was paying $4 bucks for one like the grocery store wants me to pay. Trader Joes? 4 for $3s! New to me - boxed soups from Trader Joes and I was not disappointed.
Maybe one day my town will wise up and invite Trader Joes into its community. That day could not come soon enough.












I have never once colored my hair and probably wont till I start going grey. I like my hair color though time to time I wish I leaned darker or lighter, usually depending on the season. Also, I really don’t want the high maintenance that highlights or roots would give me if I did color it. I’m always for improving my hair whether it’s making it healthier, softer, more volume or the color. Last week I was at Target and saw that Brilliant Brunette was on sale. My first thought was that I didn’t need it, even it was on sale because I have shampoo. But then the reviews I had read, all these great things about this shampoo flooded me and bought it anyways (sorry Dove).
