I'm going to Trader Joe's and Whole Foods tomorrow..what to buy? rop

[cocoagirl]

I am going to pick up some Aloe Juice from Trader Joe's for my homemade leave in mix and some Rosewater from Whole Foods, also for my hair. Are there any other new goodies that you ladies have found at these stores that I should think about picking up?

 

[chamomile]

This is my number one. The texture and moisture/protein balance allows me to use this as a leave-in, a DC, a DC base, AND a co-wash conditioner. You will love it.

 

[chamomile]

Oh and it smells HEAVENLYYY especially when sealed with coconut oil

Nourish Spa Conditioner and Tea Tree Tingle conditioner from Trader Joes!

Make sure your aloe vera juice is the dietary kind that needs to be refrigerated after opening.

Whole Foods has a lot of great stuff, just spend some time in the beauty aisle and you'll find lots of great things to try. I get my castor oil (home health brand) from there.

Thanks cham! Yes Veggie i've been hearing a lot about Nourish Spa condishs. I just reupped on some V05 condish's so I will check these out and see if I could use another in my arsenal..any more ladies?

thanks for saying this. I used to use the Aloe gel from...I forget the name..for my hair and remember not liking it for some reason and Traycee mentioned the juice worked well for her so that's why I'm trying it but I will be sure that it is the dietary kind...

I feel you on that one...and I beat you with $34 @ Whole Foods.
I went to WF yesterday because I was subbing in the area and I could not resist... I had to make some difficult choices and give up some supplements to be able to buy what I REALLY needed.
The WF's beauty section is a paradise for PJ like me who turn to real natural alternatives . Chamomile mentioned Nature's Gate and their conditioners are excellent. I picked up Aubrey Organics' Honeysuckle because I love their Island Naturals, but I don't want to overload on the proteins.
Before buying anything, always read the ingredients list because some of the products are not entirely natural.
Good luck with your and let us know what you get!

Heey, how cool is that? I was in the area too on my way to orientation for a subbing position.

Oh wait, just for fun (and torture) I just retrieved the sales receipt: $33.14. You still had me beat, LOL. Oh and I see I also got cocoa powder.

Non hair related they have some good sales on food. I just looked at the flyer I am going this weekend if it doesn't snow/rain again.

Whole Foods has some wonderful essential oils (NOW- is a great brand), also. I bought all of my Aubrey Organics shampoos and conditioners from there, too.

y'all funny. I ended up buying (Tj)some chicken burritos, frozen strawberries and pineapple tidbits lol.. But I didn't realize the Aloe Juice was like an 80 gallon, lol..(well not really) but it was really big though and I don't need all that..didn't make it to Whole Foods but I will go and see if they have a smaller bottle of Aloe Juice for me to buy. I do need some soap but I may make a Chagrin Valley order or something...oh I digress...
