Lemon Coconut Body Scrub

What smells remind you of summer? For me the scent of coconut is like a day at the beach with a tropical cocktail and a tan. As the weather warms up it feels more and more like summer is on it's way, so I made a batch of Lemon Coconut Body Scrub to celebrate!

This scrub is fresh and creamy, tropical and gently invigorating. It also smells like a delicious coconut sugar cookie...for your skin of course!
