Laura Mercier ‘Almond Coconut’ Scrub – this smells soooo good // The Body Shop Coconut Lip Butter. Love the shower cream too. Can’t go wrong with coconut scented shower stuff. // Vita Coco Coconut Water – I like putting coconut water in my smoothies // RMS Beauty Raw Coconut Cream – I love putting 100% coconut oil on my body and hair. // Maison Martin Margiela ‘Replica’ Beach Walk // Lush Ocean Salt // NARS ‘Monoi de Tahiti’ Body Glow II // Eminence Coconut Age Corrective Moisturizer – very rich and moisturizing. Amazing for dry and tight skin. Not greasy at all. // Archipelago Botanicals Excursion candle in ‘Fiji’
That winter we just had? It was long. I’m a December-born, snow-loving ski bunny but I was cold all the time this winter and forgot what it was like to feel warm. New York froze me to my bones and I was (and still is) this close to dropping some dolla dolla bills on le Canada Goose.
The other day I tried a sample of a very moisturizing coconut facial moisturizer. As soon as I breathed in the coconut fragrance I melted into its rich, warm, and exotic scent. I wanted to live in that fragrance. In addition to exfoliating with a deliciously scented almond coconut scrub every day, burning coconut milk scented candles (currently Voluspa Bella Sucre), and eating lots of thai green curry, I’ve been checking flight deals to Hawaii several times a week. Until I feel the warm sun on my skin and see coconut trees in my line of vision*, I will immerse myself with coconut scented things.
What is your favorite scent right now?
*but not right above me, because coconuts falling on your head is no bueno
