DIY

I will admit that I am a DIY nut. I love DIY beauty and natural beauty. An example of natural beauty would be the fact that I use coconut oil instead of face moisturizer. It works wonders. My skin is rarely dry to the point where it is patchy, but if it is it is probably because I used my face wash (I only do this when I have a really bad breakout). 

Anyway, what I'm really here to tell you all about is this coffee scrub I made the other day. Supposedly it is supposed to help with cellulite. I made it last night, a couple tablespoons of coffee grounds, some sugar, olive oil, and just a little jojoba oil. I used it all over my body in the shower this morning and the coffee smelled amazing and woke me up and it was wonderful! I used the scrub all over and my skin was glowing when I got out of the shower and it was soft and I was so happy with the results. I am going to continue making it and using it!

Recipe: 

Kind of a guesstimated situation though..

3 Tablespoons of Coffee Grounds
2 Tablespoons of Sugar
2 Tablespoons of Olive Oil
1 Teaspoon of Jojoba Oil (I don't use a lot of this because it's a little pricey)

Mix in an airtight container and then use in the shower! 
Not sure if the coffee smell will wake you up at night though!

Until Next Time!

Next Week

OYE.

Next week does not look fun at all. I have four tests! Shoot! I've already started studying for two of them but geez, that is a lot of studying to do. On top of tests I have assignments and all that to do as well. I am not looking forward to the rest of this week and next week.

There is one saving grace of next week; it's my birthday! I am super excited to dance around my room and sing Taylor Swift's "22" early on Tuesday. I feel like that's the thing to do now. I am hoping to have a nice respite from studying on Tuesday and go get dinner with my boyfriend or something.

Also, the professor I thought didn't know I existed just waved at me. Well, guess I'm not invisible so that's a plus too! 

Hoping some time management and all that will make the next week less scary!

Until next time. 

The Longest Winter Ever

Hello all,
Welcome to my attempt at blogging...again. I usually start a blog and abandon it really quickly, but this time I am determined. So we will see how it goes. 
Anyway,
so this past week, I can't remember which day, a blizzard hit the Mankato area! It was kind of nice, because it wasn't freezing so naturally my boyfriend and I went for a walk in the snow. It was really pretty! I brought along my fancy camera and took some pictures! Here are some of the pictures: 

Here's my handsome boyfriend!

Slip

And slide.

Me! Being snowed on. 

King of the hill.

Over all we had a very nice walk together and as soon as we got home we had some hot coco! 
I am honestly ready for winter to be over though, but it was nice to go out and take some pictures in the neighborhood. 

Until next time!
