These days activewear has become its own fashion category. It can be worn from the gym to lunch and out on the town! It feels good to look stylish while you get your sweat on, and then not have to worry about running home right after to shower and change--I have some days that are so busy with no time to shower or change...sound familiar?

I’m Hooked on Kopari Beauty’s Clean Coconut Oil Deodorant
Lately I’ve been on a Kopari Beauty kick as I am a huge fan of the natural body care line for over a year now! When I heard about their aluminum-free coconut oil deodorant, I was excited to road test it when they gifted it to me along with some of their best-selling products.
So now I’m hooked on this all-natural deodorant—it’s 100% plant-based, contains zero baking soda, parabens, or silicone and, it glides on clear and isn’t sticky! Its fresh coconut milk smell is incredible and like no other deodorant I’ve ever used. It’s hard to find all-natural products that work well and smell fabulous, so I am truly thrilled with Kopari Beauty’s products!
Click here and use code SMELLYALATER to get an additional 20% off Kopari Beauty’s Coconut Deo!
The Kopari Coconut oil deodorant is a unique blend of coconut water, coconut oil, and sage oil that conditions and soothes your underarms. It’s like skincare for your pits! :)
Other Kopari Beauty Products I’ve been loving:
Coconut Rose Toner- this toner is filled with antioxidants, has rose and lavender extracts, and works to reduce redness and calm the skin. I keep it in my gym bag to stay refreshed after my morning workouts!
Coconut Lip Glossy- this non-sticky lip balm is super hydrating and offers the perfect amount of shine. I’ll either use it on top of a favorite lipstick before I go out, or I’ll use it alone to keep my lips moisturized throughout the day. Kopari Beauty also has tinted lip glosses that I’m excited to try!
Coconut Shower Oil- this vegan shower oil is another must have! I love it because it’s gentle on my skin and is sulfate and paraben free! I keep it in my shower and use it daily!
Coconut Crush Scrub- this brown sugar scrub is infused with Tahitian coconut shells to that exfoliate your skin, leaving it super soft and hydrated. I use this weekly in the bath or shower and before I self-tan.

As I start to adopt more clean skincare and beauty products into my routine, I will always keep you in the loop because it’s so important to know what you’re putting onto and into your body!
