· Skyy Hadley’s Coconut Sugar Smooth Hand Scrub will exfoliate and give mom the smoothest hands around! Here are Skyy Hadley’s directions to get the perfect exfoliation for hands:· If your hands feel dry and rough, especially the palms, knuckles, and fingertips, exfoliating several times per week should improve their condition relatively quickly. Exfoliating hands also helps to even out skin tone which is often a common problem with hands, especially as we age. Create a scrub like the one below to exfoliate and moisturize your hands.
· Ingredients:Coconut oil (Tbl Spoon) Sugar (3/4 Cup) Olive oil (Tbl Spoon)· Stir mixture together in small jar. Take handful of the scrub and rub into hands. Leave on for a few minutes and rinse in warm water. Follow with a hand moisturizer of your choice. It’s best to do this before bed at night to avoid using your hands a lot after. -

The Perfect Gift Ideas for the “Cool Dad”
Let’s be honest: Everyone wants a cool dad! You know the David Beckham type with the fancy clothes and the swag in his step. If you’re anything like me, odds are your dad is nowhere near Beckham. Nonetheless, he is still cool to you (my dad is cooler than ice). Here’s a quick guide on what to get your “Cool Dad” on his special day.
- Pretty much anything from Ben Sherman. I am officially obsessed with this brand! Father’s day can be hard especially if you are tired of buying mugs and ties. Go for something different this year and buy him a nice shirt or a fancy pair of swimming trunks for the hot summer ahead. Sign up for their emails and get 20% off your first order!



- Bruno Magli Shoes. Their spring collection is absolutely perfect for that NYC dad or his Sunday’s best. Bruno Magli has been around for ages and continues to create refined, handcrafted footwear for those who share an appreciation for elegance and impeccable craftsmanship. Get your dad a pair of comfortable loafers or a nice pair of dress shoes for those special days.
3. A stylish STATE Bag for the dad on the go. Who doesn’t love a good backpack? What makes STATE Bags special aren’t their great styles, but the great cause behind it. STATE was created to address the immediate needs of American children living with challenging – and in some cases critical – circumstances. For every STATE bag purchased, STATE hand-delivers a backpack – packed with essential tools for success – to an American child in need; but our commitment goes beyond simply a material donation. Give your dad a great gift while helping out an amazing cause.
