I think when you are being bullied by mods or the staff on a social media platform it’s reasonable to want to leave.

however my loving partner was getting annoyed I wasn’t commenting on his posts anymore. two days? apparently too many.

oh to be a social media wife.

anyway I come back bearing gifts. the hill that I will die on is that you do not need to buy an exfoliator. this is my all over diy exfoliant that I use for an ‘everything shower’. I prep my scalp with it which encourages growth and healthy follicles, and I scrub my whole body.

I have sensitive skin and I find that most granular exfoliants are too abrasive on my skin. not so with this.

so, I’m going to ask here, who loves coffee? because that’s the main ingredient- used coffee grounds. so if you like a nice cuppa at home this is a great way to justify your caffeine habit as it doubles as a way to improve the appearance of cellulite and encourage hair growth!

also it’s super easy to make.

recipe:

• used coffee grounds
• coconut oil (but any oil will do can be olive, beef tallow etc)
• cinnamon powder
• 1 drop peppermint essential oil
• 1 drop rosemary essential oil
• 1/2 tsp finely milled black salt

basically melt the oil and add the other ingredients. massage into wet skin, leave a minute and then wash with soap and shampoo as normal.

when I tell you my hair has never grown as thick and luscious, nor my skin as glowing I’m not joking. and I already had all these ingredients.

some people might want to substitute the salt because the kalar namak (black salt) has a distinctive sulphurous smell.

don’t. basically that sulphur helps by killing viruses. so if you want to keep your skin super clean you need to add a little of this salt, which others are not as effective at. also the finely milled black salt like this feels finer and not as abrasive as other salts like pink or sea salt.

either way you should be exfoliating your skin at least once per week and this is the best one I’ve ever found!

why cinnamon?

I’ve been contemplating cinnamon. in most witch-y traditions cinnamon is a vital ingredient for wealth, but do you know why? not only a natural sweetener but a powerful and gentle anti-fungal and anti-parasitical this is useful in your food and applied topically.

and as for the rosemary this is a well known remedy now for hair growth, but also kills parasites on the skin, yeast and bacteria- as does peppermint.

keep that skin clean and wealthy, where health is the new wealth 😘

love,
