Super Smooth Skin in a Snap!!

Take charge of your beauty!

Many of us are so overloaded with daily responsibilities involving work, friends, and family that we often forget to take care of ourselves, especially our skin. It’s so important to keep our skin looking fresh and glowing, and one of the easiest way to do so is a body scrub! Store-bought body scrubs can go for as high as $40 our body scrub is just as good and 100% organic. Homemade body scrubs are not only cheaper, but they are completely toxin free because you know exactly what’s going in them! Not only is the process easy and quick, but you already have most of the ingredients in your kitchen at home! Plus, this DIY body scrub lasts for weeks!

What you need:

coconut oil

vitamin E oil

brown sugar or salt

essence oil (we recommend eucalyptus and lavendar )

one large bowl

What to do:

Combine 2-3 scoops of coconut oil with 2-3 drops of vitamin E oil, 1-2 drops of essence, and a handful of brown sugar in the large bowl. Just mix everything until it is evenly combined, and there you have it! Easy homemade body scrub! The great thing about this body scrub recipe is that you can eyeball everything depending on your own preferences. So if you want your scrub to be super exfoliating, add some more sugar or if you want it to be more moisturizing, add more coconut oil! Make it your own!

How to use:

When you finish making the body scrub, you can store it in any room temperature area. Just rub the body scrub during a shower or hand wash for 3-4 minutes on any parts of your body that need extra love and exfoliation! Then rinse it off and pat your skin dry with a towel. This is great for bums and thighs!

Gift it!

Handmade gifts are the best because it shows the other person that you’ve spent time and effort to create it. You can dress up your body scrub in a mason jar and tie it with a small bow and even write a label on it! Super cute, easy, and thoughtful!

How to Get Through a Holiday Dinner...

December 11th 2013 How to Get Through a Holiday Dinner with Family.... The holidays are a wonderful opportunity to reconnect with family and friends. For many of us, that’s what makes this time of year special—not the presents we do or don’t get, but the time we spend with the people we care about. That said, December can be a tough month to navigate without the occasional hiccup. Because there are so many moving parts, holiday family dinners are a time when tension is likely to rear its ugly head. Here, then, are a few tips for getting through your family’s holiday meals with as little hassle as possible. Set Your Expectations You know your family. If your holiday gatherings are like a Norman Rockwell painting, more power to you. Most of us are not so lucky. Instead of going “over the hills and through the woods” with pie-in-the-sky expectations, try to be realistic and—here’s the kicker—content. Your time with family doesn’t have to feel like it’s been sprinkled with elf dust to be magical. Enjoy the company of your loved ones and go easy on yourself and others if there are a few snags here and there. Part of The Solution Speaking of snags, if and when you hit them, be part of the solution, not part of the problem. The easiest way to do that is to think big-picture, starting with being thankful for what you have. Little misfires (like burned dinner rolls or dry turkey) aren’t really that big a deal when you keep in mind all the good stuff you have going on. Remember What Matters Ultimately, people are more important than things. If the meal isn’t perfect or you don’t get the present you were really banking on, that’s okay. Be assured, worse things could happen. Don’t allow the stuff of holiday get-togethers to disrupt your connection to the people you’re around. The people are always more important. There isn’t any way to ensure an absolutely stress-free holiday family dinner. But, if you can stay focused on what really matters, even a train-wreck of a meal won’t dampen your holiday spirit. Cheesy as it sounds, when you embrace a the-glass-is-half-full mentality, the holidays really can be a magical time. The trick is deciding now, before you hit those snags and snafus, to attend to your own attitude. The rest of it will work itself out.

28on27 Entrepreneur Laura Little opens up...

January 7th 2012

Entrepreneur Laura Little opens up about her inspiration for 28on27 and 1315 Studios. 28on27 and 1315 weren’t always the venues they are now, but owner Laura Little saw potential in the interiors and with her expertise and passion for art and design, she transformed the spaces into the multi-functional venues they are today. I sat down with Laura to chat about what inspired her two successful spaces and how she makes it all work: JK: Why did you choose to name the spaces 28on27 and 1315 the way you did? LL: The spaces are the buildings’ numbers. So it was easy and organic. You'll never forget where your going..ha. JK: What’s special about the spaces? What’s their “theme?” LL: Each space is meant to be comfortable, and easy to make “your own.” I love interesting spaces that are unique and have a different vibe. I think both spaces reflect that. 28on27 has amazing white pillars and black iron window molding. It’s a small detail but when I saw the space I could see it working. JK: What is your favorite thing about each of the spaces? Is there a specific design feature, piece of artwork, etc, that you feel “makes the space?” LL: For 1315 it has to be the windows and the high ceilings. The space feels so open and full of air and light. In the afternoon, it’s simply beautiful. 28on27 has more old-school New York charm. And it’s in such an unexpected place! The surprise of it is beautiful. JK: Do you incorporate your photography into the space? If so, how? LL: There’s no physical art work hanging in the spaces, but once a year I do an art exhibit, as I'm a photographer (and artist).. and we just opened an online store with the intention to curate and sell photography. My office is also packed with art. So it’s incorporated into the business and our daily lives. Art makes us happy. JK: What is your most unforgettable memory regarding the spaces? LL: Hiding in my office from Chris Brown! That's the worst/best memory so far!  JK: Haha! Why did you hide from him? Did he find you? LL: I can't tell you...but he didn't find me.
