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!!

  1. 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

Make Beauty Review*

Happy Friday beauty lovers! I hope you have been enjoying Winter again lol! I hope Mother Nature gets it together soon lol. Today I am bringing you another review powered by BrandBacker! *I was sent these products for testing purposes and this is my opinion after using. Let's get into the reviews! *Powered By BrandBacker* I was pretty excited when I was picked for this campaign. I have tried a Make Beauty eyeshadow before and loved it. Honestly, I was expecting the samples to be a little bigger. I was a little disappointed in the lipstick sample, it was hard to use. It kept breaking when I was trying to apply it. Make Beauty is a very new company to me that I was introduced to through Birchbox.  They have just about everything from eyeshadows to contour kits. They also have a line for skincare as well.
