Brown Sugar Scrub


Took an amazing detox bath a few nights ago, at the end I used my homemade brown sugar scrub. My skin has never felt so soft!!

  • 2 cups Brown Sugar
  • 1/2 cup White Sugar
  • 1 cup Oil (any kind you wish, mineral, baby ect...) I used baby oil.
  • 1 tsp Vanilla extract
Mix well and package.

****make sure you use a plastic spoon to scoop some out to use, you do not want to get water in the container****

Coffee Scrub

1 cup brown or white sugar
5 tbsp Coffee grounds
1/3 cup Oil (any kind, mineral, baby...ect)
2 tsp Vanilla extract

Mix well, package and enjoy!! I have also added a dash of peppermint extract for a peppermint coffee scent!

Lemon Sugar Scrub

3 cups Sugar
3/4 cup Oil (any you wish)
Juice from 2 lemons
Zest from those 2 lemons
2 tbsp Vanilla extract

Ornaments

Cinnamon Applesauce Stars

I made 2 pans of these today. The house smelled great, they turned out great!! Cant wait to get them all strung and get them on my tree! Many great uses!
  • Tie to gift bags or presents
  • Mason jars
  • Mix into garland for Fall and Christmas
  • Skip putting in holes and mix into potpourri
Simple to make!! Mix applesauce and cinnamon till it become dough, roll out and cut out shapes with cookie cutters!! If it is to wet it won't roll out right, it will be a sticky mess, just add more cinnamon.
