A DIY Scrub for You

I feel bad.  I haven't put up a new post in a long time and for whatever reason I feel like I should give my readers (if there are any out there) a gift in order to make up for my absence.  I could list the reasons why I haven't been able to post, but they're boring and I won't bore you with that!

SO- what I have done is documented my latest beauty regimen that seems to work like a charm!  This winter has been terrible on my skin and I didn't want to spend a lot of money on a product that may or may not work.  This led me to get creative in my kitchen and make my own facial scrub!

not mine..but you get the idea.

Take a look at my DIY Body Scrub:

What You'll Need

• a small mason jar or glass container for storing your scrub
• white sugar
• almond oil
• lavender essential oil (for scent- you can use mint, lemon, lavender or a scent of your preference!)

Instructions

• Combine (1) cup of white sugar with (1/2) cup of almond oil.  Make sure they are both combined well. 
• Add two to three drops of your essential oil and mix well. 
• Refrigerate overnight for best results.  It feels good to have the cold exfoliation clean your pores.

I wasn't able to take pictures as I really was just winging it.  I compare this scrub to others and found that I spent $5 while other facial scrubs can run upwards of $40!  

If you do end up making a scrub- send me a picture!  I'd be happy to post it here!
