DIY Body Scrub

I'm all about DIY projects and homemade things. I love the fact that I can use things from my kitchen to make an amazing body scrub, facial mask and cleanser. I was searching the Internet the other day looking at different recipes for body scrubs and came across so many, too many to choose from. I decided to give this one a try. My previous body scrub had Olive Oil, White and Brown Sugar. This time I used Coconut Oil, Brown Sugar, Almond Oil and Vanilla Extract. Now I didn't follow the exact instructions, I just made enough to fill my container. I filled the container in the picture about 1/4 of it with Brown Sugar, added about there squeezes of Almond Oil, about 5-6 scoops of Coconut Oil and a tiny but of Vanilla. I mixed everything together and store it in my bathroom.
I have used it twice so far and it is so amazing. I don't have to use lotion afterwards, my skin feels so soft and moisturized all day and it's not rough or harsh at all. I really,recommend trying this out or let my know what body scrubs you guys use so I can them out and review them!!

    I love seeing coconut oil because I often use it in the recipes found in my own books (http://www.fashionablypetite.com/2013/10/diy-skincare-with-indie-lee-beautylish.html?showComment=1384926703403#c760501771655450258). I love coconut oil because it can be mixed with other oils as protective additive to serums.

Sometimes its hard.....

You know when you keep thinking of something and you just feel like you have to get it out? That was me before sitting down to write this post. I had something else planned to write but I kept thinking...sometimes its hard and it just evolved from there. We all heard the sayings, life isn't fair, life is hard and so on. Sometimes life can be hard but we don't experience it for long. There are so many things that I want to do but I know I can't do a million things at once. I can't just pick and go anymore, I'm someone's parent now. There are times I want to but I know things have to be planned out now. I will get to those place I want to go, just have to be patient and plan it out. It seems like we focus so much on what is hard about life that we forget about the easy stuff. We forget sometimes about all the good things that happen and to be grateful for getting through those rough patches. You may not like your living situation but you have a roof over ...

On a personal note....Update on Blogging and Personal Goals

Happy Football Sunday!! I hope everyone has been enjoying the weekend and getting ready to celebrate Thanksgiving!! I can't believe it is this week! I can't wait to spend time with family! I thought about giving an update to the personal and blogging goals I set for myself last year with the Resolute Beauty Blogger series. You can check out my results post  HERE!!  I completed this in May of this year so let's see how I've been doing since then. Blogging Goals 1. Attend A Blogging Event- Since then I have not attended another event. I was so happy when I did find my one event to attend. I have been keeping in contact with those bloggers I met and reading their blogs. I have been finding events but there are scheduling conflicts. I hope to find another one very soon. 2. Set A Blogging Schedule- I am still sticking to my Sunday, Thursday and every other Friday schedule. It has been really working with my hectic schedule I already have. 3. Change Up Current Style-...

Taking a break.......

On Tuesday I did mention that I had some exciting news to share. I have been working part time for a while and searching like crazy for full time work. I was starting to get a little frustrated but never gave up. Well a full time opportunity came up at my current job and I am now full time status!!! I was just so overjoyed and thankful. I will have a more stable income, I can go back to school and start to make some moves. Then I started to get a little overwhelmed. How was I going to juggle being a full-time working mom, grad student, blogger and balance everything else. It has been a while since I had a full time schedule and based my blogging schedule around my days off during the week. I start my full time hours next week and just need to take a small break away from Naturalle Drea. I really didn't want to because I love this so much but I need to see how to handle everything. I will most likely change my blogging schedule around. Thank you to those who have been encouraging to...
