A Love Affair With Coconut

     Confession: This summer, we are coo-coo for coconut, and you should be, too! This exotic tropical fruit will not only relax your senses with a delicious, sensual aroma, but coconut oil will also leave your skin soft and supple. What's not to love?

     Of course, you don't need to plan an exotic getaway to capture a little coconut goodness. Here are a few of our favorite ways to beautify with this tropical treat:

     1. Cream well. Indulge yourself with the full Coconut Cream line from LaLicious. Start with the luscious Sugar Souffle Scrub, luxuriate in the rich Whipped Body Soap, then pamper your skin with the scrumptious Body Butter. Don't forget to moisturize with the luscious Body Oil for a total coconut immersion!

     2. Sprinkle it on. The heady scent of coconut is guaranteed to put you in a tropical state of mind-even if you're just on the way to work. Tiare Coconut Eau de Parfum from Lucy B. combines delicious coconut with Tiare flowers, magnolia, champaca, amber, and vanilla blossoms for a delightful summer scent.

     3. Rub it on. Give your own coconut a sexy, back-from-the-beach look with Kusco-Murphy's Beach Hair. This product blends coconut, bergamot, and crushed bamboo to give your hair the deliciously tousled texture you crave.

     4. Juice thoroughly. Give your skin a dose of healthy radiance with 100% Pure Organic Virgin Coconut Shower Gel. Made with coconut oil and a complement of antioxidants, this formula is a naturally nutritious way to reduce the signs of aging.

     5. Breathe it in. Create your own island paradise by adding a coconut-scented candle to your favorite room. Try the Tocca Tahiti Candelina - Tiare Flower, which marries the sweet scent of coconut with the sensual floral fragrance of Tahiti's tiare flower.

     6. Mix it up. If, as the song says, you like piña coladas, then you will love Pure Fiji's Coconut Milk Shower Gel - Pineapple. This perfect blend of coconut, sugar cane, and pineapple cleanses, brightens, and rejuvenates your skin naturally. Can't get enough? Treat yourself to a luxurious bath with Pure Fiji Coconut Milk Bath Soak - Pineapple.

    7. Bake it in. Give your skin a beautiful shimmer with Lucy B.'s Frangipani Organic Bronzing Shimmer Oil. Made with Lucy B.'s signature infusion of Australian flower essences and organic coconut, jojoba, and sunflower oils, this summer must-have will give you a gorgeous golden glow.
