My skin has not seen the light of day in 3 years living in Utah and this Texas weather is wrecking havoc to my once, glittery porcelain skin, I'm kidding I was just basically pale for a Latina. I normally used body butters living in Utah but I needed something that was light on my skin with the exception I needed something that would really moisturize so I thought why not? Ah the sheep sweat freaking ya out?? If that freaks you out you should read the chemicals used in your lotion I promise sheep sweat will be a welcoming addition, I mean come on I know your momma did that whole licks her hand to smooth down your cowlicks!! Admit it!!

In this recipe I used the LouAna Coconut oil because this is what I had left, when I make products for customers I only use organic products to ensure one they are getting what they are paying for and since its for me I want to experiment the different products out here and well basically I'm my own human guinea pig. I did a quick search about the type of coconut oil to purchase and I recommend unrefined coconut oil. I buy most of my products online through amazon unless I can get it directly from a company with better shipping rates. Darn you fuel charges!! *raises fist* also I substituted my almond oil with sunflower oil. Again my preference for myself not my customers.

I did not add mineral water because I was NOT being lazy I was just being energy conservative, fine I'm lazy I didn't want to open a bottle. *huge smirk*.
In this recipe it suggested lavender + ylang ylang essential oil. I used doTerra's Citrus Bliss E.O., I wanted to smell like an orange.
Now onto some yummy coffee + sugar body scrub... Keeping it Cleverly Simple!!
