Trader Joe’s Vanilla Lip Mask: under $6 and smells like dessert. 🍦
Is it a Laneige dupe? Maybe. Is it shiny, thick, and deeply moisturizing? Definitely.

🍉 New on the blog: Trader Joe's Watermelon Freeze-Dried Candies! They're sweet, tart, and kind of taste like a watermelon Jolly Rancher and a cereal puff had a baby.

Teenage me would've devoured the whole bag. Over-40 me? Not so much.

Tried the returning Trader Joe’s Japanese Soufflé Cheesecakes so you don’t have to (but you might want to). 🧁
Light, fluffy, and surprisingly not too sweet. Think cloud cake meets cheesecake.

No proofing. No patience.
Just pop these mini croissant swirls in the oven and pretend you live in a Parisian bakery.
Are they perfect? Nah.
But they’re flaky, chocolatey, and good enough to distract from Monday.
