After hanging out for a bit, and selling some things at a local consignment shop, Brooke and I decided to take a bit of our newfound moolah and treat ourselves to a few little things at Whole Foods Market. Being a broke college kid, this is a total rarity for me, but it fit into my spending ban, because we were buying things for the house that we could all use.
It's one of my dreams to be able to go into Whole Foods, just pick up whatever I want, and not have to even consider the price. To be able to shop there on a regular basis would be insane! Here's what we picked up:
PB Crave Cookie Nookie Peanut Butter. I first heard about PB Crave a few years ago when I saw a sandwich shop called PB Loco on the Food Network.
A specialty peanut butter sandwich shop. How COOL is that? Since then, they've put out a line of peanut butter that they sell at Whole Foods, so I was excited to see it there. I'm not sure if the sandwich shops are still around but I'd love to visit one if they are!
I wasn't extremely excited about the texture of this particular PB, being really thick and hard to stir, but Brooke really liked it. So it's staying on her shelf, that Cookie Dough addict.
This peanut butter was a bit of a splurge at $7, but it will last quite a long time.
Get Gorgeous Tea by The Republic of Tea - a tea for clear skin? Not sure if it's gonna deliver, but it's worth a shot. I'm a bit of a picky penelope when it comes to tea (I only seem to like black tea) but I'm totally willing to try red tea. This little sucker was $9, but I'm planning to use the tin for makeup brushes when all the tea is gone. :)
The next item is something that Brooke freaked over. Briggs & Featherbelle Tequila Bar Soap. This stuff smells like straight up margaritas. It's awesome. We (of course) found ourselves in the beauty aisles, basking in the candles and soaps, and when she came across this one, it was an "I am going to buy this, no matter what it costs" moment.
This little sucker cost $5, but according to Brooke, well worth it.
The packaging first caught my eye on this little beauty, the Leap Organics Eucalyptus Mint & Anise soap, and then when I took a whiff of it, I knew it was the one for me. Anything minty or citrusy smelling is like my crack, and how RAD is the illustration on the cover? I'm really excited to use this, and it was the cheapest item we picked up, at around $4.

You could also try the cookie butter at trader Joe's which is like 3.99 if I remember correctly. and it was really delicious and I don't remember it being to hard to stir or anything like that.
and that soap sounds weirdly awesome.
The Cookie Nookie peanut butter sounds amazing (even if the texture is a little off)! xo
We don't have Whole Foods in the UK (at least I don't think we do?) but I can get totally lost in some of our equavillants. The one in my university town was to die for! But I'm yet to find one in the city I now live in. :(
I'm in love with your blog, and store. Thank you so much for the follow!

Wow this all looks amazing! xo
I love Whole Foods! That brand of tea is usually really good! Pricey, but good. I hope you like it. I really enjoy looking at their large health and beauty section.
