Take a Compliment with Kopari

Kopari  Coconut skin care essentials – Cleansing oil, toner, face cream, lip glossy  // Outfit: bag, dress, trench, shoes

As you know, I absolutely love trying new skin products.  Do you know what I like even better?  When they do what they claim.  You’ve probably heard of Kopari lately – it’s a beauty brand with coconut oil at its core.  I’ve really been leaning into toxin-free beauty and skincare (my complete switch to natural deodorant is a prime example and I’m dying to try their version) and Kopari is a brand that’s taking the toxin-free pledge seriously–and that’s something I can get behind.

Kopari launched an awesome campaign that is encouraging women to ‘learn how to take a compliment.’  I’m guilty of brushing off compliments and brushing it off or telling a self-deprecating quip, but there’s something to empowering about accepting and embracing that compliment.  When a friend told me last week that my skin was glowing (that toner is really magic and makes your skin dewy) and I looked bright-eyed, instead of coming back with a sarcastic remark about having greasy skin, I was accepted her compliment and you know what?  It felt good and gave me a spring in my step.  And, most importantly, it gave me the courage to spread that goodwill around and pay it forward.  Let’s be real, we could all give more compliments to each other.  (Check out this awesome video Kopari put together highlighting just that.)

So tell me, can you take a compliment?
