sugar scrub.

i found a recipe for a homemade sugar scrub and i knew i had to make it immediately.

i was at the beach with some friends last summer and we pretty much used the entire store's supply. in other words, i'm obsessed.

this would be a really great birthday or mother's day present.

these are the ingredient you need...
white sugar
brown sugar
olive oil
any flavored extract [i used mint and probably used a little too much, so it smells like straight up alcohol, probably try something a little more mild...or just a lot less of it.]

mix together equal parts brown sugar and white sugar. and pour into a glass or plastic jar.

pour in a couple tablespoons of olive oil and let it permeate the sugar.

pour in the extract and combine with a fork

while mine smells a little strong, it feels so amazing to rub on my elbows, feet and hands during my shower.

i highly recommend you throwing a little bit of this together before your shower!
