Our New Life in the Country: I Shouldn't Be Eating This .......

I Shouldn't Be Eating This .......

I followed a recipe the other day, a nice simple recipe .... just three tablespoons of Coconut Oil and two tablespoons of sugar, mix together and decant into a little tub.

Just like this.

The only thing is I shouldn't be eating it ..... because it's face scrub!!

It works a treat, just rub it all over your face in a circular motion and then rinse off. It's worth rubbing your hands together a bit as well as it's a wonderful exfoliator for hardworking gardeners hands too and leaves them feeling and looking lovely and soft. The only thing is I licked my lips and found out how absolutely wonderful it tastes .... so I licked them again, and again :-)

A sweet treat for my face my hands and my tastebuds.

No face scrubs for me thank you, but doesn't it leave your face sticky?

Lol! I'll have a go at this, will taste it but, since losing weight my face has 'emphasised' wrinkles and I'm sure this will help smooth them out and benefit my hands. I just hope I don't get addicted to eating it!

Sounds lush, I would struggle to resist as I love anything with coconut. I clean my grubby hands with lemon juice, oil and demerara sugar, works a treat and I am never tempted to try it, would not put it on my face though.

I love things that do more than one task - exfoliates your face and is edible - what's not to like!! Will be trying this. (Mrs LH)

Coconut oil is so good - I use it for cooking - especially good in curries.

This was my Blog, just me writing about our day to day life learning all about and then living the smallholding life. First we started on a farm in Oxfordshire, then we moved to a smaller place in Berkshire (both in England) and then we found a place of our very own at the bottom of a hillside in North Wales. Along for the ride were all our various animals, and we ended up with just our dogs, Suky and Mavis, our cat Ginger .... who secretly thinks he's one of the canine gang, a sheep called Ethel who wandered in off the road and stayed... and a roving band of egg laying chickens that live cheek by jowl with the local wildlife.

We grow our own fruit and vegetables, selling surplus plants and edibles at the gate. We sell the eggs the chickens lay, we reuse, recycle and rethink ... and life ticks over at a pace that suits us.

It was simply the wild and wacky ramblings of a 50 something townie turned country girl called Sue, who lost her heart to a sailor and started a new life in the country .... many years ago. On a path that took us from Cumbria to Oxfordshire, to Berkshire and then we found our home at the bottom of a wet and windy Welsh hillside by a busy main road.

Pull up a chair, grab a coffee and relax into a world of dogs, cats, chickens, polytunnels and veggies with the occasional grass munching sheep thrown in for good measure.
