New Favorites

Lucky for me, I needed new facial cleanser the week before last. While on vacation in Atlanta to see my sister and her family, I used some of hers since I forgot mine at home. It was a different kind than I use and I loved how it made my skin feel- so refreshed. It is the Tourmaline facial cleanser from Aveda.

When I got back home, I just had to venture out to the mall to buy some. With the kids in tow (via stroller, which is always the way to go), we headed there on perhaps the hottest day of the summer. I haven't been to an Aveda store since before I had children. I used tons of their hair and skin products. But then... I had kids and my budget greatly decreased. Now I use products available from Costco in bulk! ;)

The sales woman was really sweet and as always, offered me a cup of their delicious Comforting Tea when I arrived. I got my cleanser and she recommended some of their Green Tea moisturizer. One hundred bucks later, I was told that I could get either a candle or tea bags/loose tea for free because of their rewards program. Of course, I got the tea- 2 boxes! Needless to say, it's my new love. I've only made iced tea so far and let's just say thank goodness it's all organic and caffeine-free or else I'd be climbing the walls!

If you haven't tried it, you've got to stop by your local Aveda store and check it out for yourself!
