Dollar Store Tiered Jewelry Organizer

So I have seen the tiered organizers all over Pinterest. I really wanted to make myself one since Husband is helping me put together a vanity ( I'll be posting about this next). So anyway I headed to good ol' Dollar Tree! 

I got 3 Serving Trays and 2 Candle stick holders and here is how it turned out: 

 

Doesn't it look so nice? For $5, it's not too shabby! 

My only advise is to use E6000 glue. Mine took about 2 hours to dry enough to pick it up. I LOVE IT! 

Let me know what you think!

DIY Coconut Sugar Scrub

      Last week when I was at my Mom's house she was telling me how she found this great new (to us at least) coconut sugar from Better Body Foods. We were brainstorming what recipes we could substitute it in and then it hit me, sugar facial scrubs! I am always trying to find new homemade scrubs that aren't too abrasive and doesn't break out my sensitive skin. I must say I think I've found the best solution to my problem! 

Here is my recipe! 

I know my photo isn't the best and I borrowed my mom's sugar to take home but it's worth the emergency post I promise!! 

You need: 
BBF Coconut Oil
BBF Organic Coconut Palm Sugar

My ratio is 3:1 
I did 3 tbs of coconut oil and 1 tbs coconut sugar. 

The BEST part of this recipe is that the sugar does NOT melt! I always have the problem that my sugar melts too quickly or I don't feel it's scrubbing enough. 

Use this scrub 1 day a week and combine it with your favorite coconut oil mask! 

Maybe I'll come up with a new mask to share soon too! 

Let me know what you think..
