Easy Pesto, Mozzarella, Tomato Panini!

Hi Loves!

I took a quick jaunt over to my local Target and picked up a panini press! Can I just say, I don't know how I gone so long without one! I got the Bella Chrome Panini Maker on sale for about $25 and so far I love it. Lately my favorite panini to make is an easy pesto, mozzarella, tomato panini on sourdough or ciabatta bread.

To start off, I like to choose my bread. For paninis, thicker breads work best so it doesn't get soggy with the cheese and pesto. I prefer ciabatta bread or rolls, but I also like sourdough! To create this delicious masterpiece, I start off with Trader Joe's Fresh Pesto on both sides of the bread. Then I drizzle a little balsamic vinegar on one side of the pesto bread and added a slice or two of the Trader Joe's Fresh Mozzarella Log. Add a slice of tomato then top with the other slice of bread with pesto and put in panini press for a few minutes until bread is toasted and cheese is melted.

Trader Joes Micellar Cleanser Towelettes Review

Inexpensive face wipes that are gentle, yet still remove makeup and dirt? Sign me up! These little wonders ring in at a budget-friendly $3.99 and are worth every penny.

I have very sensitive skin and loved the Simple gentle makeup wipes–but these Trader Joes ones are even better! The cloths are so soft and saturated with cleanser. They also don't irritate or leave residue on your skin unlike most facial wipes.

These Micellar wipes are free of allergens, alcohol, colorants and parabens–making them super gentle. I use these wipes to take off my makeup and then cleanse with the Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser. I think these could be used purely as a cleanser, I just like to use an additional moisturizing cleanser each night.

All in all I am now obsessed with these face wipes! I recommend them if you can get your hands on some!

What is a micellar cleanser you ask? Here's how Trader Joe's explains it: 

"basically, molecule clusters made up of one side that attracts water, and one side that repels it. When the towelettes are applied to your skin, these molecules break apart, and whatever isn't water (i.e., dirt, makeup residue, etc.) is gently pulled away from the skin." -Traderjoes.com
