What I’m Loving Right Now – Beauty
Trader Joe’s Coconut Oil Body Butter
I finally bought this body butter after hearing such good things about it. I needed some new moisturizer so I got it last time I was at Trader Joe’s. Let me tell you, it smells amazing! One of my goals this winter is to keep my skin in check. It has been so cold that my skin just dries right out. Using body oil before I shower, using a moisturizing body wash and slathering this on afterwards has helped my skin tremendously!
Urban Decay’s Naked3 Eye Shadow Palate
I got a Macy’s giftcard for Christmas and got myself some new eye makeup. After seeing the Naked palates all over Pinterest, I knew I had to get it eventually. The colors are neutral pinks: some are sparkly and some are matte, I love them all!
Lavender Vanilla Deodorant (Home made!)
I’m trying to steer clear of conventional deodorant and I have always wanted to try making my own. (Hippie much?) I found a DIY deodorant recipe online and actually had all of the ingredients! I simply mixed coconut oil, corn starch, baking soda, a drop of jojoba oil, with some vanilla and lavender essential oil and it creates a great smelling mixture that looks similar to conventional deodorant, but its a little bit more crumbly and soft. I keep it in small glass mason jar. I’ve been using it for a few weeks and so far, so good! When I feel like I need to reapply (like after a daytime workout, for example) I use Tom’s of Maine lavender deodorant that I keep at work. So far this combination is working great!
That’s about it. What are some your favorite beauty products right now?

I wish I had know about that body butter last week when I was at TJ’s! I am always on the lookout for a good lotion, I’ll have to grab some next time I’m there.
I love that you make your own deodorant, that’s awesome! I’d like to give it a try sometime as I can’t use most conventional deodorants, they seem to irritate my skin.

Just check the ingredients on tj coconut body butter, I love it because it took my stretch marks away however they have ingredient that are known to be carcinogenic. Phenoxyethanol is one
