Try This At Home

A simple recipe for Sugar Body Scrub from Sprout:

• 1 cup organic demerara sugar (or any other coarse sugar will work)
• 1-2 tsp organic unrefined coconut oil
• 2 tsp organic shredded coconut

Mix shredded coconut and sugar in a small bowl, stir until blended. Heat coconut oil in a small pot just until melted. Pour coconut oil over sugar and shredded coconut, you'll notice it liquefies some of the sugar. With a fork or spoon, stir oil into the sugar mixture. It will start to spread. Continue until the sugar is all one consistency.

To use: Apply a small amount to areas you want to exfoliate and moisturize.

The Beauty Department

There's something about Lauren Conrad that doesn't bother me. (Is it this hairdryer photo? Nope.) So if she had to go and launch her own beauty site, I'm okay with it. Especially since she used a Rue Magazine art director for the site design (props to her good taste).

Not much content there yet, but maybe it will turn into something good. Check it out at thebeautydepartment.com.
