Coffee Scrub DIY

I know it looks like poo ^^^ but hear me out..
So today we're going to get a little personallll or a little TMI. Since it's getting a little cooler the skin is getting a bit dry and itchy but when I read an easy DIY using coconut oil, ground coffee, cinnamon and honey I thought i'd give it a go. Guess what, VOILA it works wonderful!
So here are the benefits,

Ground Coffee
Coffee is full of antioxidants which makes it a great anti-inflammatory. The caffeine brings out moisture from your skin to help it look softer and firm. It's a great exfoliant removing the dead skin cells off of your skin making it super soft and bright!

Coconut Oil
Coconut oil is full of vitamins and minerals which will make your skin super soft and moisturized. Heres a great article on the benefits of Coconut Oil and you can read my post I did here about 50 uses of coconut oil.

Cinnamon
This helps your skin clear up from bacteria it brings your blood to the surface and will smooth out fine lines.

Honey
Honey is super soothing to the skin and also (research says) that honey can help speed up the healing of wounds. Honey also helps why dry/combo skin. It's an antibacterial so helps with acne. It's also full of antioxidants so great for aging and is very moisturizing so helps your skin have that glow we all strive for. One more plus, helps to clarify pores, it opens them up so it's easy to unclog.
After using this scrub (if using on the face) It'd be great to do an at home facial mask to help clarify the skin even more.

First things first,
Measure out your ingredients.
1/2 cup of coconut oil
1 1/2 tablespoons of cinnamon
3 tablespoons of ground coffee
2 tablespoons of honey

Mix all ingredients together with a fork, you can add more or less of things, which ever you prefer!
Hope you enjoyed this super simple DIY and Happy Scrubbing!

Firstly, Happy Good Friday Everyone!!

So I thought I'd start a new segment on my blog called Local Lovin' this will be where I share my favorite new places and local businesses! As you probably know, I've always been a big BIG fan of supporting and shopping local. A lot of my clothing I do buy locally. (not all but I try!) On this little bloggie I've raved a lot about small local business in Grand Haven, Mi. Now that Grand Rapids is my new stomping grounds I'm slowly but surely finding my new favorite places to eat, shop and to buy fresh produce. 

Horrocks is an independent Market that has a GINORMOUS selection of great food, super fresh produce, great greenhouse, home decor and a really really reallyyyyyy awesome candy selection. They pretty much have everything. But of course, as you can tell; my favorite is the floral section. Rachel and I went to Horrocks one day and that girl is quite the visionary she had the idea to shoot some photos which I was kind of iffy about it at first but the girl is obviously brilliant, the photos turned out awesome!

So guys, you must go over to Rachel's page and check her out because she's amazing, and if you come to michigan or if you live in Michigan make sure to head over to Horocks and check it out, It's pretty cool and every time I go It's always fresh new, and trendy.

Have a fab weekend guys!
