Ever since I relaunched the site, I’ve been super food focussed. So, I thought it was about time to throw in a fun, DIY craft project.
It is not at all surprising, but the inspiration for making my own bath scrubs came from Pinterest. I saw a picture, followed a link, and before I knew it, I had decided to make my own bath scrubs. I love having them around for my hands, feet, and just all over when I feel like treating myself. It leaves my skin feeling soft, smooth, and smelling wonderful.
This is a great and inexpensive way to get those feet ready for sandal season!
On top of all that, scrubs are insanely easy to make. The first time I did this, was at a craft night with some girlfriends. This was a really fun group activity. My friend and I kept making concoctions with more or less scent, rough to smooth sugar, etc. Then we would call in the others to test them out and get feedback. Needless to say, our hands were all very smooth by the end of the night and my kitchen smelled wonderful.
I love the smell of this particular concoction. It is very refreshing in the morning shower. I found my essential oils at a local organic grocery store, but if you can’t find them locally, they are on Amazon. There doesn’t seem to be much you can’t find on Amazon.
Scrubs like this are also a great handmade gift for friends. I handed out small mason jars of this one to all the girls at the craft night and I believe they were enjoyed. If you wanted to get super thoughtful, you could find out what your friend’s favorite scents are and make custom concoctions.
Try this out and adjust to your own likes. You can make a rougher scrub, a more or less scented one, or even try using salts instead of sugars!
Rosemary Orange Sugar Scrub

Then just relax and enjoy!
