It's the weekend! Tell me your plans! I can finally relax and get caught up on blog comments/visits. Leave your links below so I can stop by! Well, guess who's finished with her Christmas shopping?? This girl riiight here. Now I just have to wrap it all, aka throw into bags, and call it done. One gift that's easy to wrap and make--my Gingerbread Sugar Scrub. Enjoy!
I N G R E D I E N T S
- 2 c brown sugar (light or dark)
- 6 tsp pumpkin pie spice
- or 2 tsp each of cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger
- or mix ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg essential oils
- 4 drops of vanilla extract
- 1 c sweet almond oil (or oil of choice)
M E T H O D
- Mix dry ingredients.
- Combine oils and then add to dry ingredients.
- Mix well and store in an air-tight container.
N O T E S
- Spices (especially cinnamon) can cause skin reactions, so be mindful. I would suggest this for feet and body only.
- Dress up the jar, add a cute tag, and you've got a gift ready in under 5 minutes!
- Random Facts: I'm eating gingerbread cookies as I'm typing this. And while I made the scrub. And they were store-bought.
Enjoy your weekend!
Be safe, behave, and be well!
Love,
Elle

This is a great idea. Especially since this stuff is pretty expensive in the stores. I've been seeing this ELF product a lot. They had some great, inexpensive stocking stuffers at Target. I need now eye shadow. Hoping for xmas. Love you Elle, Merry Christmas.

Really? You can make a scrub with this? HOW AWESOME!
And here I thought you were actually going to do a post about.....I dunno,cookies.
I love gingerbread cookies. I was a student on university in town Toruń. It is in Poland. And Toruń is famous by gingerbread =]
Sorry about my not good english :(
Have a nice day !
This sounds like the perfect holiday scrub. I love the scent of gingerbread. Happy holidays to you! I'm heading to the theater to see Hansel and Gretel tonight, followed by a gift exchange tomorrow. Can't wait!
I think for me, the lazy one, it's much easier to get some coffee or sugar and scrub a bit and that's that, but i love it that you are so creative!
Wow sweetie this recipe looks delicious! Thanks for share Thanks to heaven I´m not allergyc to the cinnamon.

Sounds great....just finished gingerbread cookies and now going to try this. And bonus, I just found a bio store down the street that has most of the ingredients for your DIY's so no ordering over the internet. I thank you for the ideas, my husband and bank account on the other hand, not so much..haha. Merry Christmas!!
I heard that ginge rcan be really good for the skin!! I would definitely be careful of the cinnamon :)
