Decadent Chocolate Scrub

 A regular exfoliation ritual is incredibly important for smooth, healthy skin that glows with radiance and is easily able to drink up all your nutrient-rich skincare products.



Unfortunately, many conventional scrubs contain harsh abrasives that may scratch your skin and put your skin barrier at risk. So it's extremely important that you use a scrub formulated with gentle exfoliating ingredients. 

If however, you’d like to try whipping up your own scrub at home then you may want to try a sugar scrub, that you can enjoy as dessert too! I did this one after my workout this morning and just loved it. I used my cacao powder I had and it was a first.

P.S. Eating the RIGHT kind of chocolate is one of our favorite "beauty foods" to snack on :)

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 cup loosely packed brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup coconut oil in solid form
  • 1/3 cup almond oil
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder or cacao
  • a few drops of coconut extract or essential oil (tamanu or ylang ylang or frankinscence.

INSTRUCTIONS 

  • Add all ingredients together in a large bowl and mix until combined. I like to mix with the back of a spoon until the coconut oil all breaks down and no chunks remaining. If desired, top the scrub with a few cacao nibs before packaging.Great as gifts.
  • To use the scrub, simply rub it over your skin and wash off! FYI: I do use this on my face. I do use it on my lips too – so perfect! As long as you are using this once a week or every other, it should stay fine at room temperature.

Hi BodyRockers, . Face it you are weird. In today’s world if you train like a warrior, flex your discipline when it comes to your diet, and pass on grazing on donuts in the break room at work chances are you are chided on some level by those around as being weird. Get used to it. Embrace the smell of your sweaty socks. Not many people make a daily practice out of pushing themselves beyond their comfort zones for one workout a day. Not many people step out of what is comfortable for themselves period. This is a niche movement. Not everyone will get why you train this way or why you train at all. Thankfully we don’t need anyones permission or approval, and if we are looking for support we have a place to go where people get it. Being weird requires a good measure of independ

How Air Pollution Is Damaging Your Health

Image
Exposure to air pollution is associated with numerous effects on human health, including pulmonary, cardiac, vascular, and neurological impairments. The health effects vary greatly from person to person. High-risk groups such as the elderly, infants, pregnant women, and sufferers from chronic heart and lung diseases are more susceptible to air pollution. Children are at greater risk because they are generally more active outdoors and their lungs are still developing. Exposure to air pollution can cause both acute (short-term) and chronic (long-term) health effects. The health of our lungs and entire respiratory system is affected by the quality of the air we breathe. In addition to oxygen, this air contains other substances
