How to MakeYour Own Sugar Body Scrub
As we are getting ready to head into summer, at least here in my neck of the woods, my skin is feeling dry and rough. On a recent trip to the mall to pick up some sugar scrub to counteract this problem, I had the epiphany that I could make this myself. Now we all know that not all of my DIY projects turn out exactly as planned, but this one is easy, fabulous and I highly recommend it to everyone.
How to make your own sugar body scrub
In a bowl, mix together the following ingredients:
- 2 1/2 cups of white sugar
- 2/3 cup olive oil,
- 2 Tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 Tablespoon of lemon essential oil. I use Young Living (YL). We will talk later about why I use YL essential oils all the time with my family.
My girls and I all used it tonight and it smells so good we all wanted to eat it. I would however, not advise doing that. Our skin feels soft, we smell good and had fun making something together. We even think we are going to make some for all of the kids teachers as an end of the school year gift. Which is in exactly 13 days!!! Ack, now comes the fun of entertaining 4 kids in 100+ heat. More to come on that special Mom duty.
Before I go here are 2 pieces of news/requests for everyone:
First, you all know about my children's book The Practically Perfect Princess, anyway I am giving away a Princess craft prize pack to one lucky person. It will have Princess puppets, coloring sheets, a sparkly crown craft and some jewels. You can enter to win it here via the Chain Linky Climb.
Secondly, I am going to my FIRST EVER Blogging boot camp!!! (little scream) I will be spending Sunday night with Tiffany & Francesca of the SITS Girls. I was so excited when I received the invite to their Phoenix event. So here is my question to all of you pros, what do I absolutely need to know before I show up? I have my dorky business cards ready, but what else do I need to do?
Thanks for all the love!
