tea tree tingle

I don't usually dedicate this space to reviewing products, but for years I've been looking for a great natural shampoo, and I think I've found it: Trader Joe's Tea Tree Tingle Shampoo. I've been using it for a few weeks. It's mostly peppermint with just a hint of tea tree; it smells great and refreshing. Like peppermint oil, it works wonders on a headache. (I actually carry a bottle of peppermint essential oil in my bag at all times for headache emergencies.) The other day I ran out of j's baby wash but had to wash his hair, so I used the Tea Tree Tingle. He got quiet as I scrubbed it into his scalp and looked up at me. "That feels reallllllly good!"

When I asked P to put some TTT on our Trader Joe's list, he admitted that he too had used it at least once, even though he has his own shampoo. P liking a scented bath product says a lot. I tossed two bottles in my cart when I stopped there after rehearsal.

I know it's just a shampoo, but it's made me unreasonably happy lately.
