REVIEW:
Frank Coffee scrub:
This cheeky wee coffee scrub has been doing the rounds on Instagram lately, and of course I found myself curious to see if it really worked. I am pleased to tell you that it lived up to my expectations! This 200g of coffee scrub comes in three flavours: sweet almond orange, cacao coffee, and coconut and grape seed. The resealable brown, waterproof bag is also super handy!
This scrub is great for smooth, baby soft skin and also reducing the appearance of stretch marks, cellulite and skin problems such as eczema, acne and varicose veins. I would recommend when using it in the shower that you prepare for a wee bit of a mess with the coffee grounds easily spreading. However, this is easily solved if you have a detachable shower head.
If you use this in reasonable amounts, it can also be spread quite a way, and as such is good value for money ranging between $15-$18 AUD, with free shipping to Australia and New Zealand (Hooray!)

However, if you prefer the homemade in terms of body scrubs, here is an easy scrub recipe :)
You will need:
-Sugar (White) or salt (dependant on how fine you would like the scrub to be)
- Food colouring (I recommend a pink or light red)
-Natural plant based oil (olive oil or sunflower are best)
-Jar for storing
-Mixing bowl and spoon that food colouring will not seep into
Instructions:
Mix together a fair amount of sugar/salt (go by how much you feel you need), enough oil to hold the sugar/salt together and a few drops of food colouring, stirring until you reach a nice consistency.
Tip: add only small amounts of food colouring at a time, its easy to over-do it.

Hello Hair:
This Hello Hair hydrating treatment is another beauty product doing the rounds on social media, but I'm sad to say I am not as excited about this as I am with Frank. A mix of coconut, argan and almond oil, it's pleasing to see this product is also 100% natural and vegan. It also smells great, and has a nice consistency. However, I found that when I applied the product to my hair, massaging in at both roots and my dry ends as recommended, my hair became greasy, even after a few washes in an attempt to reduce this grease. While the product was reasonable at treating my damaged hair, the greasy outcome was very off-putting, especially for $15.
