This is the first of hopefully many more plants to come in our new, much sunnier home. Do you recognize it? It’s a Peace Lily and we got it for only $7.99 at Trader Joe’s last week. But not only is it pretty and nicely priced, it’s also one of the best plants for purifying indoor air.

Have you tried Trader Joe’s Gentle Facial Cleanser? It’s the one with orange fruit extract. I just got it and cannot wait to try it! I’ve read some great reviews on it too.
