DIY coffee coconut body scrub

I have been obsessed with Homemade Body Scrub recipes lately. I decided to make a Coffee Sugar scrub recipe of my own this weekend. It is so easy and very inexpensive. I found the recipe online and choose the easiest one and I kept reading it over and over again just because I can’t believe my own eyes that it is so easy-peasy to prepare. WOWZA!
This homemade version is super frugal compared to those you will find on the market. Of course, the cost will depend on the price of the products you choose. I would say that my cost was around RM6 a jar.
The logic behind coffee scrubs is that they not only exfoliate, but also the caffeine in the coffee helps diminish the appearance of cellulite…hmmm…we shall see about that….not that I have cellulite. You should know I am flawlessly perfect.   The coconut oil is said to hydrate.
 What we like most about these coconut coffee scrubbers is the little sizes them come in so you don’t have to use a big bar and can take them with you easily when you travel. You just can’t beat the combination of coconut and coffee for feeling good in the shower or bath.

What You Need:
1 Cup of Coffee Grounds (Grinds)
1 Cup of Raw Sugar
1/2 Cup of Coconut Oil
I read a lot of recipes for coffee scrubs and some of them were quite fancy. I looked at all the possible ingredients and decided I really wanted a basic, stripped down recipe. I choose to use sugar, but some recipes called for salt. I also used coconut oil even though you could use olive oil or any other oil if you prefer.

Directions:
Combine ingredients in a bowl and mix well. Then fill your container. Brand it like what I have done here
                                               
I think the scrub has a great texture. It isn’t too “wet” because of the coconut oil. I am sure the texture would be different if you substituted the oil.



I haven’t used this in the shower yet, but I did use it on my hands. Very nice.
Remember, that this recipe does contain oil so if you plan on using in the tub or shower you will want to exercise caution. I am sure if you get this on the floor of your tub or shower it will make it extra slick. Also, you may want to use a plastic container if you plan on keeping this in the tub or shower.

Pencil Sketch and Me

Image
  Ive always loved drawing and sketching. I have been doing it ever since i can remember. Its something that i enjoy and that I'm passionate about. I’m interested in anything that is artistic and enjoy exploring other artist masterpiece.I would call myself a beginner as i have never established anything great so far in this line. Why Pencil you may ask me. The effect of lines and shadows and how they came together got me hooked on what is now a passion for me. Pencil is so unique, the intensity from its contrast of black cannot be compared. Ive always been interested in black and white photography and pencil has that and more. It communicates feeling through lines and shades of black. A really good pencil drawing can bring the viewer into that world and let them experience what they are looking at. - See more at: http://www.onlypencil.com/blog/tutorials/my-passion/#sthash.YLIOvZyG.dpuf The effect of lines and shadows and how they came together...

Logandran weds Leela Devi

I always love South Indian Tamil weddings- the saree, the colourful flowers, the garland, the nathaswaram, the rituals, the countless emotions, the food and everything about it. It is always spectacular and spellbounding. Logandran and I had a traditional Hindu wedding in our favourite temple, Sri Maha Mariamman temple at Kota Kemuning, Klang, Malaysia.   Since the temple itself has a beautiful architecture design, we didn’t spend much time cracking our head to get grand decoration and mandap. The welcoming ranggoli kolam by ‘Siran Arts’ was a talk in the wedding. The spectacular rice kolam illustrated the image of a groom and bride riding horselooks like a red carpet of the event. The wedding although was set to be simple, it was colourful enough to create a glorious impact. I wanted the wedding not to be set with a theme color, hence I came out with rainbow colored saree for my bridesmaid. but unfortunately, 3 of my bridesmaid couldn't turn up for understand...

Happy Birthday LEELA...counting my blessings!!!!

S o,another year has passed and I am in the last year of my 2 series. Wow!!!!  Not a real worry that is I’m just like 24 years and 48 months. And officially, I have joined the “age is just a number” club. Well, age is just a number, nobody can deny that. What matters is how you carry yourself with the people around you. As I lay in bed in a room full with emptiness, I can’t help but feel completely overwhelmed and filled with ‘that warm & fuzzy’ feeling. The Universe has been incredibly kind to me in many ways &, this time   I’d like to count my blessing I have started to appreciate what I have. I have just begun to understand what lessons I have learnt all this time. I have fallen, too many times, and I am never shy to admit, but not too long, I get up… always… brush myself off and I come back stronger… I have fallen in love, and failed, I don’t feel embarrassed, as, at that moment. I gave it my all; I was never on the fence. I have had the priv...
