Trader Joe's Favorites

For those of you with a Trader Joe's nearby, you definitely want to read this post. Today I'm sharing some of my favorite TJ's items. 

These are my new favorite "healthy sweet treat". They are made of dark chocolate, honey and mint! That's it! So simple and so good. 

I have been eating this red pepper spread on nearly everything....eggs, rice cakes with avocado, salad. It's very low in sugar, and it's delicious! We go through nearly a jar a week.

Katie turned me on to this tasty curry cauliflower quinoa salad. It is sweetened with a little honey but still only has 2g added sugar per serving. 

After spending 3 weeks in Europe this summer I have been on a bit of a muesli kick. This one is simple, has no added sugar and is super tasty! 

I've been enjoying it with the TJ's Plain Icelandic Yogurt. 

My husband is the cook in our house, and he's very particular about his cooking products. Apparently he's done some research, and this Trader Joe's California Estate olive oil is the best quality for the price. 

Lastly, these are one of the Mini Fashionista's favorite snacks. They are far less expensive than similar products and are somewhat nutritious...as far as snacks in a package go. 

So, what are you favorite TJ's products?

My Favorite Things

There are products that I tell friends about over and over again because they are just SO good that I want to share them with the world. Most of "my favorite things" I have shared on the blog before, but in case you missed them, I thought I would write a quick summary post.

Printstagram/Print Studio Mini Books- I make these little books with photos of the Mini Fashionista twice a year, Christmas and Mother's Day. They make a perfect gift for grandparents, aunts and other family members. You choose the photos directly from your Instagram account.

Printstagram/Print Studio Poster- I use the poster as a scrapbook for the Mini. I make them once a year and have the poster framed in her room. She likes looking at the old photos as much as I do. 

Blinc Mascara- If you're looking for a no-hassle, no-smudge mascara that you can take throughout your day with no re-application, blinc mascara is your answer. Instead of painting your lashes like conventional mascaras, blinc mascara forms tiny no-smudge, water-resistant "tubes" around your lashes. Once applied, these mascara tubes bind to your lashes and cannot run, smudge, clump, or flake, even if you cry or rub your eyes.

Angela Caputi Resin Bracelet- It's no secret that both Katie and I love these bracelets. We wear them with everything.

Yum Box- This lunch box works perfectly for the Mini Fashionista. It's leak proof, easy for her to open and close and dishwasher safe! They even make adult boxes now!

Merin Bags-  If you don't have one of these bags yet, what are you waiting for? I have 3! I take them everywhere with me....to the gym, on the airplane, car trips. You name it, my Merin bags have been there.

The Wet Brush- As far as I am concerned, there is no better brush for wet hair. I love it. The mini Fashionista loves it. You need one.

Trader Joe's Honey Mango Cream Shave-  Nothing fancy here. Just good, well priced shaving cream that doesn't require an extra stop at Target or a drug store.

And lastly, in honor of Easter this weekend...

Cadbury Royal Dark Chocolate Mini Eggs- I've nearly given up all holiday related candy, candy corn, candy canes, etc. But, these are just so good that I can't go through the Easter season without buying at least one bag. After over a month of temptation, earlier this week, I finally succumb and bought a bag. They are worth every calorie.
