West Point Foundry Preserve

Cold Spring is one of the perfect location for a day trip from New York. It will take you about an hour and half by train to go there.
A lot of people go there for hiking but it’s also perfect for a one day relaxing trip, swinging between antique stores, cute coffees and nice walks.

There are a lot of cute stores along the main street and that’s pretty much where you’ll find everything. I enjoyed a nice meal at the Hudson Hil’s and then headed to the West Point Foundry by walking all Kemble avenue to its end.

GEOMETRIC SHAPES

I found this picture while doing some researches, and it looks like some pieces i collected for my own house.

Love the different shapes and colors.

DIY EXFOLIATING COFFEE SUGAR SCRUB

I recently discovered that coffee grounds can be really good for your skin and i decided to try a DIY exfoliating coffee scrub, enjoying that’s it’s 100% natural.  

You can find different scrub recipes and i kept it really simple using sugar and coconut oil.Feel free to add any scents or oil you may like better.
Coffee scrub is great for exfoliating, it helps for reduction of cellulite and improved circulation.
Coconut oil will leave your skin feeling super soft. 




What You Need:

 
                       1 Tablespoon of Coffee Grounds (I choose used coffee grounds)                        1 Tablespoon of Raw Sugar (I used Cane Sugar)                        1 Tablespoon of Coconut Oil (I heat it for few seconds if it’s too solid)

                                                     

Directions:

 
                       Combine all ingredients in a bowl and mix well. 
                     Scrub your body and face and rinse thoroughly.






The recipe is enough for me to use for one time all body and face.


You can use this scrub once or twice a week.

Enjoy!
