Lemon-Coconut Scrub

Here’s a simple face/body scrub that I use the most in my skin care routine. The lemon will help detoxify your skin of impurities and have it feeling rejuvenated. The coconut oil will keep the skin moisturized and the sugar to exfoliate. Some people don't like the smell of the coconut oil so feel free to add a few drops of your favorite essential oil to help you relax. I’m very serious when it comes to my home spa sessions because I don't get time to myself very often and my constant changing schedule could leave me looking tired, pale, and possibly develop some bumps on my skin.

SET THE MOOD!

Find some nice “earthy” music, light a few of your favorite candles and apply the scrub gently with your finger tips to a FRESH/CLEAN face .

Recipe:

1 cup granulated sugar

1/4 cup coconut oil

15 drops lemon juice

(5-10 drops of fav essential oil optional)

Whipped Avocado Hair Mask

We all know hair products are expensive, especially for us kinky queens. I'm  trying to get in the habit of deep conditioning my hair once a week, but I wanted to try a hair mask before I bought one. Lately the whipped avocado hair mask has been my fav. I had everything in my fridge and cabinets the first time. To blend, I used my NutriBullet and doubled the measurements because I have very thick hair. Once I applied the mixture to my hair, my curls instantly began to resurrect. Try it! Let me know in the comments how you liked it.

Ingedients:

1 ripe avocado

1 egg

2 tablespoons Olive oil, coconut oil or jojoba oil

2 tablespoon honey

2-3 drops of your favorite essential oil (optional)

Have a shower cap or plastic bag ready to cover your hair after application and let it sit for 1 hour at minimum,; I like to keep it on all day for softer results. If there’s excess mixture left, I apply it to me or Dom’s face.
