No summer beach getaway for me this year. Boo. But The Body Shop is looking out for me by making me feel a little bit like I’m lounging surf-side on a secluded island. Even if that island happens to by my bathtub and secluded means I’ve locked the bathroom door. Their new line of organic virgin coconut oil bath treats is deliciously divine. The fragrance alone is perfection: coconut-ty but more sophisticated than that oily glop I slathered on in my teen years. You know what I’m talking about.
I love to use the body scrub in the shower (good-bye rough edges) and follow with the body butter. To die for. The shower cream is a notch or two beyond typical shower gels, and the shimmer lotion is oooh-la-la without being too glittery or juvenile. Like a luxurious tropical vacation in my bathroom. I’ll take it, thank you very much.
The Body Shop’s new Coconut line is also smart: employing organic, community trade coconut farmers in Samoa. Every step of the process is done by hand, often by multiple generations of small-scale farmers. Read more here and here. And this lovely video (bottom right of the page) is definitely worth a look. You’ll feel so good about indulging yourself via The Body Shop.
Stay tuned for a coconut giveaway Monday morning. I promise you’ll want in on it.

...by day, making a home where the buffalo roam. By night, pretty much the same thing, punctuated by the occasional fantasies of sunny beaches, italian movies and sparkling lemonade.
