Coconut Lemon Scrub

Posted in Uncategorized by

I love the idea of some “me time” that involves little work, but has a big payoff. This scrub sounds heavenly. Give yourselves a little something for Mother’s Day!

There are times when I just want to get away. Not for long, but long enough to pamper myself and relax. But since those opportunities are rare these days, I made a coconut lemon body scrub that makes me feel like I’m treating myself to a day at the spa.

Chalk it up to Awesomeness

I’m a little obsessed with Dana Tanamachi’s chalk signs right now. She’s a super-talented graphic designer based out of Brooklyn, NY, and was commissioned by West Elm, Rugby Ralph Lauren, Ace Hotel, and Tommy Hilfiger Harajuku (to name a few) to create stunning, elegant hand-lettered signs in chalk.
