On a recent road trip, I visited a Trader Joe’s for the first time ever. Just a couple of years ago, TJ stores were not in the picture for Florida. Forward to 2013, and there are TWO! I hope Central Florida gets one soon. The store I went to was in Gainesville, FL. I had no idea what a Trader Joe’s looked like, but I did do some on-the-road research on some things to try out.

Of course I went to scope out the personal care items. I picked up a facial wash and lotion.


The enrich moisturizing facial lotion and nourish all-in-one cleanser. I love the cleanser already.



On the whole, I enjoyed getting some stuff I didn’t really need. Billy and I enjoyed the things we’ve tried so far, but have yet to test the cookie butter and alcohol since we don’t drink much.


They opened one in Gainesville? they must have done it after my move
I keep hearing about it!

Trader Joe’s is one of my “happy places.”
