My love for Coffee

Are you are like me who cannot get through the morning without my coffee?
Well my lovely friends I have a recipe for a healthier Iced coffee to make at home for the summer time...
 
 
Ingredients
Coffee
(Instant, Filter or Espresso pod)
Pinch of Salt
(reduce bitterness)
Sugar or Sweetener
Milk
Ice
 

 
Directions
Start by making a very small amount of strong coffee.
 
If you are using Instant or Filter coffee then I use a 1:3 ratio of coffee to boiling water.
 
Add the salt and sugar.
 
The amount of sugar is really up to you as to how sweet you like your Coffee.
 
Add the Ice to your drinking glass then add the coffee.
 
Top the glass up with milk.
 
Pop in a straw and enjoy!

Homemade Coffee Scrub

 
I have recently found this amazing homemade scrub which helps to fight against cellulite, leaves skin feeling gorgeous and it makes an amazing gift too! It is sometimes better than store bought, but that's between us girls.
We all have these ingredients laying around at home so why not try it?
 

INGREDIENTS

Coffee Granules
Oil (Coconut, Almond or Olive)
Sugar (I like a finer variety)
 
 
 
Use a 2:1:1 ratio.
Depending on how much you are wanting to make. Just remember that when the weather is warm you should make it in small doses to prevent it from moulding.
 

METHOD

Combine all the ingredients
Apply to your face and gently rub in circular motions otherwise apply it to your body, gently rub in circular motions for 10 min then leave to dry completely
Now rinse off!
 

 
 
Your bath/shower/bathroom should look like a muddy pig just ran through so be careful!
On the plus side, your skin will feel AMA-ZING!
 
Just don't forget to store it in an air-tight jar, tub or pot.
 
 
FOR A GIFT
If you are wanting to give this lovely handmade scrub as a gift why not make it a little interesting? 
Add vanilla or cinnamon to make it smell extra lovely.
Finally place it in a cute little jar with a ribbon around it.
 
 
 
Who knows people might start buying it from you.

Top 5 Things I can't live without

So these 5 things hold a special place in my heart and I cannot get through a day without them.
 

FAMILY & FRIENDS

Friends and family are the ones who ground you, love you and support you no matter what. They are always there and put a smile on your face when the skies are grey. They give you the best kind of memories in life.

MY CAMERA

Being able to captures those special moments in life are a big deal to me and most others. I've been called a photo terror many times before.
 
"Some moments cannot be described by words"
 
 

NIVEA & CHANEL

Nivea is my go-to beauty brand. Its quality and always smells lovely.
Chanel is my perfume that I cannot get enough of, it's "spirited and sensual" as Coco put it. It is the perfect scent that sums me up.
 
"When someone smells nice, it automatically makes them more attractive"
 
 
 
 

COFFEE

I cannot get through a day without my coffee.
 
"Any time is coffee o'clock"

A SMILE

Every young lady these days needs to smile daily.
I've been told so many times to smile more as it warms up a room. It is the best form of beauty.
