Bath Stuff.

Hello!!

So today we are going to make….

….drum roll please...

... sugar scrubs!

So in case you don’t know what sugar scrubs are, I will tell you. You can use these in the shower to make your skin all soft and stuff. You scrub it on, and then rinse it off. Easy-peasy.

I made some for my mom for Christmas and she is loving it! So without further ado, let’s make sugar scrubs!

You will need:

½ cup coconut oil

1-2 cups white sugar

Food coloring (optional)

Extract (I’m using lemon extract)

Melt the coconut oil in the microwave for about 20 seconds or until it is soft. Mix the coconut oil with the sugar thoroughly. The more sugar you put in, the more the scrub is going to exfoliate.

Add your extract and food coloring. I didn’t have the liquid food coloring so I used the mega-concentrated stuff and that worked fine. I wanted to mention that the only reason my scrub is so smooth-looking is that I mashed it down with the spoon. Don’t fret if your scrub isn’t as smooth as this. Just mash it with your spoon. :)

And you are done! Dump all you sugar scrub into a small jar and tie some brown twine around it to make it look all fancy and stuff.

Or don’t. It’s your decision.

But I think it’s a nice touch.

Oh, and if you ever feel the need to eat this stuff go ahead. Just not too much. It’s about 80% sugar.

Enjoy!
