I always wanted to go camping. To spend nights in a tent, and eat delicious food that was cooked over an open fire. 

I had the most miraculous first time camping at KOA campground in Cornwall, Prince Edward Island. Kyle chose the place and orchestrated the entire trip. Our camp site was right by the ocean and we woke up to sounds of the ocean waves crashing and birds singing. It was fantastic. 

I can picture myself quitting my day job, and living in a tent full time. I absolutely embraced the camper lifestyle.  Life is so simple! I did yoga in the grass, we went clam digging and mussel raking and could still see our tent, we had fires and ate delicious food... I just loved it. 

What is your favourite camping memory? This one is mine!

I absolutely LOVE Fresh's Brown Sugar Scrub - of course it's pricey. I think it retails for about 45$ at Sephora. I wanted to achieve the same results without breaking the bank, so I made my own scrub! 

What's so wonderful about this DIY scrub you ask? Well, it's nice knowing exactly what products you're using on your face. No preservatives or ingredients you can't spell or pronounce. 

Basically I used products I already had at my disposal.

I used: coconut oil, brown sugar, jojoba oil and evening primrose oil. I used more coconut oil than the other oils and once it was mixed and put into a reusable glass container I had a shower so I could test out this little concoction! 

It was GREAT! The scrub left my skin feeling baby soft and moisturized. 

You guys should totally try to make your own scrub and let me know hoeing goes! Next homemade project : DIY Black Tea Face Mask
