on Apr 08, 2015, Updated Feb 03, 2022 I have a love-hate relationship with summer. I love the fact that I can gorge on Ice Cream, even for breakfast (Hello, Natural’s Tender Coconut- I’m looking at you!). Drink iced coffee all day and even use the coffee grounds to make me some awesome coffee scrub. Try out crazy granita flavors (Lemongrass – coconut – honey please), take cold showers without shivering. Use a blanket but stick one leg out (I CAN’T be the only one who does that). Eat Mangoes and wear Flip-Flops. Not necessarily together. But eating mangoes while wearing flip-flops is kinda fun. What I hate about summer is how my skin gets- oily and kinda dirty. All that sweat and pollution clogs up the pores and gives me pimples. Yuck. I like to exfoliate to keep them away. Not just the face but my whole body. Only once or twice a week. But it helps a lot and it improves circulation, reduces those ugly dimples (read: cellulite), gets rid of all the dead skin and makes me feel smooth and glowy. All summer ready. By the way, I make my own scrub at home. That way I know what’s going on my skin and I don’t have any harmful chemicals to worry about. It takes five minutes, costs peanuts, lasts a month and smells absolutely yummilicious. I can almost eat it but I don’t, promise! Try it.
