Trust me when I say I’ve tried gobs of dry shampoo. Batiste is hands down the best, budget-friendly one out there and I can’t wait to try this fruity & cheeky cherry variety!Last, but certainly not least, is the snacks and sweets category. Trader Joe’s is hands down the best place to browse for unique and delicious options. If you have one within driving distance – get there! I highly recommend the Trader Joe’s Chile Lime Seasoning Blend, their Soft Strawberry Licorice Twists, and the very best Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups (10x better than their mainstream counterpart).
