There’s something about hopping out of the shower that makes me feel so rejuvenated and relaxed. Whenever I step out of my tub, I try to remember to rub my tried-and-true CeraVe body cream all over. Sometimes I honestly can’t be bothered, but the times when I do follow through with this routine, I feel at my best when my skin is glistening and my arms and legs are as soft as a baby’s bottom.

Everyone should feel that good when they’re fresh out of the shower, but if you find yourself feeling the complete opposite, it’s time to sub your current body care product for one that Kourtney Kardashian claims is the key to looking good naked—especially while its currently 30 percent off (alongside with other sellers from the brand) with the code VIP. Shop Kopari Beauty’s 100% Organic Coconut Melt for just $21 ahead of Black Friday.

Kourt posted about how to look good naked on her lifestyle website, Poosh. Besides eating healthy and working out, she reminds us that the products you apply to your skin are crucial to looking and feeling your best.

“In order to achieve glowy skin, it’s important to moisturize everything—everywhere—at least once a day. Kourt’s trick to hydrating her body is similar to the scrub hack: she’ll combine thicker creams and serums she doesn’t want to put on her face and instead slather them all over her body,” the story reads. “Don’t forget to care for your hands and feet as well; we recommend focusing on these areas at night. Try adding a few drops of oil into your hand cream before applying to both areas. This trick really locks in moisture.”

Many of the products mentioned are made by pricey brands like Dr. Barbara Sturm ($95) and La Mer ($300), but the one from Kopari Beauty has a more affordable price tag. Yup, according to Kourt, a $24 body moisturizer is the secret to looking good naked, so of course, we had to investigate.

The 100% Organic Coconut Melt is simple; it’s made from organic, unrefined coconut oil—that’s it. There are no bells and whistles to this product, which is probably what makes this body moisturizer so good. Coconut oil is chock-full of essential fatty acids, proteins and vitamin E. These ingredients work together to make your skin ultra-soft to the touch, healthy and glowing. 

Kourtney mentioned using different products for your body, hands and feet, but with the Coconut Melt, you won’t have to. You can smooth on the oil from your head to your toes after you shower or at the end of a long workday to let your skin replenish moisture overnight. You’ll no doubt wake up with the softest, most nourished skin ever. 

Not to mention, this product also has multiple uses: body moisturizer, hair mask, dry shave oil, bath boost, makeup remover and belly balm. The beauty of this oil being made from 100 percent coconut oil is that you can utilize it for plenty of different skin and hair concerns.

“I apply this coconut melt all over my legs before I shave them in the shower. My 62-year-old legs look 20 years younger since I’ve been using this for the past two years!” raved one reviewer. “Super soft skin, silky legs. No razor burn or bumps. No nicks. Just soft, healthy-looking skin! I love this product!”

What sets this one-ingredient formula apart from other pure coconut oil options is that it’s vegan, cruelty-free and sustainably sourced. The coconut oil is filtered three times and excludes any additives. Plus, the fragrance is completely natural. As if this product needs any more praise, it comes in a recyclable jar and once you finish one tub, you can order an earth-friendly refill for $26 a pop.

“I received a trial size of this product with my previous order and loved it, so I had to get the full size. It’s moisturizing but doesn’t clog pores and makes your skin glow.”

Kopari Beauty’s 100% Organic Coconut Melt is the perfect do-it-all product for your entire body and will have you feeling confident in your skin both while you’re naked and completely clothed.

Your marriage relationship is one of the most important treasures you will ever have in life. Every single day, you make choices about what will occur in your relationship. Some of those choices are small and inconsequential while others turn out to be extremely important.

Regardless, it is a good idea to check in with yourself regularly. Are you frequently making the right choices in your relationship? If you don’t think so, consider rethinking your actions.

Listen

Do you pay attention when your partner is talking to you, or do you prefer to blow them off and pretend to be listening when you really aren’t?

It’s easy to take your special person for granted, but put yourself in their shoes. Would you want them to treat you the same way? Choose to listen to your partner. You might be surprised at some of the things they say when you are really listening carefully.

When you are paying close attention, you will have some questions of your own. Moreover, you will be giving each other a great gift when you use your words to say something like: “I’d like to hear more about that,” or, “Please help me understand. I’m not quite sure I get it.”

When you take those extra minutes, you are demonstrating that what your mate says matters to you. Listening is a gift for both of you. It has the potential to further enhance closeness and connection and feelings of well-being for you both.

Say Thank You

Do you say “thank you” when your partner does something nice for you? Do you say it when they take out the trash or load the dishwasher? If you don’t, why not start today?

Let your partner know that the little things they do matter, too. Make the choice to say “thank you” more often, and chances are, your partner will begin to do more and more of those little things.

Do you have the bad habit of trying to have the last word in an argument? Or do you, sometimes, pleasantly agree to disagree with your partner?

Being the one to walk away from an argument or disagreement will sometimes make you the bigger person. When you agree to disagree with your partner, it reduces the stress level and you can move on to something else.

Walk Away

Choose to be the one who walks away, and both of you will be happier for it. It’s ok if you don’t always agree because you are two different people, each with your own history, upbringing and life experiences.

It can be helpful, though only if you want to, to offer: “Some time it would be interesting if we could share with each other how we each came to different conclusions on this subject. I’m sure it would make a lot of sense to us both.”

Surprise Each Other

Do you and your partner still do things out of the blue? Do you just get up in the morning and decide to take a day trip to spend some time together? If not, you give it a try.

When you choose to do things spur-of-the-moment it can keep you both on your toes and will keep your relationship fresh. Choose to do something out of the ordinary once a week, and your relationship will continue to grow. This will keep you from falling into ruts or bad habits.

Drop the Guilt

Do you do things to take care of yourself and then feel guilty about it? Do you feel like you are taking time away from your partner when you do something on your own? If this is happening to you, you really need to make the choice to care for yourself – without the guilt.

I’ll bet your partner doesn’t feel guilty when they decided to do something on their own. We all need to take care of ourselves so that we can be a better partner and a better person.

Why not start today by choosing to do a few of these things? You will begin to see changes, big and small, in your relationship.

When you make a few small changes in yourself and the way you think about your relationship, you are making the choice to be a great partner. I would be extremely surprised if you don’t experience some big payoffs. These payoffs from your new, relatively-small efforts will very likely surprise you!

Let’s Have a Conversation:

What things do you do with your partner to keep your relationship happy and positive? Do you ever do things on the spur of the moment or have you ever taken a surprise trip or excursion together? What do you think is the secret to longevity and happiness in a marriage? Please join the conversation below!

I love the change of seasons because it gives me an opportunity to do one of my favorite things: purge my closet. The good thing about purging one’s closet at the beginning of the season is that the things you get rid of are still wearable by someone else.

This year I was ruthless. If something didn’t give me a good emotional vibe, or if it made me feel old, or if I was holding onto it because it was a gift but no longer felt or looked right, out it went! Five large shopping bags were filled of sweaters, shoes, hats, bags, belts and jewelry. It was liberating.

But that feeling of liberation quickly subsided when I walked into my office. There I found a different kind of emotional connection to things.

Accepting Things Can Live Online

I’ve kept three banker boxes sitting on the floor in front of my bookshelf for quite some time. They were filled with newsletters from health practitioners I’ve followed for years. Some were even arranged by category in binders.

In the back of my mind I thought, “Someday I’m going to write a book about alternative health.” In truth, I am well aware this is not going to happen. Moreover, just about every single thing in all those papers is available online.

I spent one extremely satisfying day pulling all of those newsletters out of their respective boxes and binders and throwing them into the recycling bin. Then, as I was able to see my bookshelf more clearly, I turned my attention to its contents.

There’s some joy in keeping books that were meaningful at one point in one’s life. But frankly, a lot of these things – especially some that have been following me around since my 20s – simply weighed me down psychologically. Into the recycling bags they went.

My desire to stay in the present always overrides my sentimentality. This was a liberating exercise that allowed me the freedom to breathe deeply and move forward.

The Bathroom Purge

Afterward, like Patton marching through Europe, I attacked everything in our bathroom, starting with my makeup drawer. Out went the aged and likely bacteria ridden mascaras, eyeliners and eyeshadows.

Out went the last vestiges of lipsticks that had been sitting in the drawer for years. Out went the foundation that was expensive but makes my skin look yellow.

Since my hair is now short and curly, and I’m not likely to ever wear it long again, I spent a good deal of time washing and cleaning some brushes that I hadn’t used for many years. Out, too, went old hair products designed to “straighten your hair over time.” They simply didn’t work.

When now I open the door to my closet, or my makeup drawer, or walk into my office, the most wonderful thing happens: I breathe. Creating space – physically or psychologically – makes room for breath.
