Guest Post DIY Coconut Body Scrub

 
Today I have a guest post by Michelle Pino, I hope you will enjoy this DIY and I myself will be giving this a try!
 
 
 
 
 
Make Your Own Coconut Coffee Body Scrub Just in Time for Spring

If you are extra busy with kids because you’re running them to spring-time recitals, soccer practice and little league, you may not have much of a chance to take time off for a spa day. Many moms can relate to how haggard a mom can feel just after one afternoon of looking after one or two children. Children are always on the go and a mom’s job is never finished – she just repeats all the same tasks the following day!


 
Winter may be over but its effects tend to linger for a while. Nothing reminds us of winter quite like dry skin. Finding the time or money to go to a beauty club to get pampered for an afternoon, but you can still enjoy high-quality, skin-refining and hydrating beauty products for a fraction of a cost of spa products!  By making your own homemade beauty treatments at home, you can find numerous ways to exfoliate your skin and bring your skin back to life with radiance!

Try out this mesmerizing coffee scrub that leaves your skin feeling satiny smooth and supple. With just a few ingredients, you can create this scrub that can be used three to four times a week to bring back a glow and a youthful appearance to your body.

What you need

1 cup of coconut oil
1/cup of fresh ground coffee
¼ cup of brown sugar
3 Tbsp. of honey

This is an easy mixture to combine.  Simply mix it by hand until ingredients are blended and then store in a safe container. You can decorate the container by using a hot glue gun to put rustic-looking baling twine around the jar and then tying a ribbon at the top of the jar. This is an affordable and fun way to make your homemade body scrub look like a high-end retail scrub!

Use Your Coconut Coffee Body Scrub in the Shower

This rejuvenating body scrub will scrub away dead skin cells while deeply moisturizing your skin at the same time. On top of feeling amazing when you use this easy DIY body scrub, you will also love the way it smells!

You can use it in the shower three to four times a week by applying some to a body sponge and then massaging over your entire body. It is fine to use on the face, feet, and any other part of your body!  When you step out of the shower, you will feel like a new creature, and you will be ready to put on your favorite spring time dress to show off your radiant and youthful new skin!

Swiss Chocolate & All That Glitters

 
 
 I met up with one of my friends for a shopping trip to buy a few things that I need because right now I'm not home and I'm actually in Jamaica for a funeral. So because of that my friend and I met up before are birthdays and exchanged birthday gifts early since I wont be home for my birthday tomorrow. Here is what I got from my friend.
 
 

 
About The Product
From MAC Cosmetics website "Highly-pigmented powder. Applies evenly, blends well.
 
 
Review
Swiss Chocolate is describe by mac as a reddish brown matte shadow. To me Swiss Chocolate looks does look like it has some rusted red undertones. I like this shadow it's great crease colour or if your dark skin I think it a nice shadow for wear on the lid for a no make up look.
 
All That Glitters is so pretty I love this colour, All That Glitters is describe by MAC as a beige shade with gold pearl. All That Glitters is so pretty it's a peachy gold shadow with a veluxe pearl finish. When applying this shadow with Swiss Chocolate the two shadows blended so well together. There was little fall out with this shadow but not a lot.
 
 
Price
$18.00 CA
 
 
 Have you tried MAC Swiss Chocolate or All That Glitters?
