Mid-week pick-me-up

I found this written on the first page of my most recent journal, although it had to be from over a year ago. I could have never imaged at the time writing this, that I'd be where I am today. I should focus on phrases like these more often. I often feel lost, and I often feel confused. It's as though I'll never be truly settled into life. But maybe life isn't supposed to have a conclusion. There are no rules, and the path I'm on can (and will) always change. I like it that way. Each and every day, I am where I need to be.

Monday Hair-spiration

Oh my! How am I letting this blog get away from me for a week?? I know...because I am crazy busy and have exciting prospects on the horizon. Back to work...

Does anyone have the luxury to be able to wear a flower crown on the reg? I would love to be walking through the grocery store and spot a beauty looking like this... le sigh.

The Most Delicious DIY Lip Scrub

Happy April my loves! With warm weather (hopefully) on the way soon, you'll need to keep that pout looking smooth and supple. I've made an easy, natural lip scrub with ingredients you can find in your pantry!

This is really a very simple lip scrub that anyone can do! I took organic coconut oil, raw honey (you can also use standard, refined honey, I just prefer the consistency of raw), brown sugar, and some apricot oil (you can also omit this, or replace it with any other oil you have). 

Place two parts brown sugar to one part raw honey and one part coconut oil into a small bowl. I added about two drops of apricot oil. Combine!

Once all of the ingredients are incorporated, roll into a small ball and place in any airtight container. This should keep up to two weeks. Now go scrub away and enjoy beautiful, soft lips!
