diY: Sunday Sugar Scrub

Do-it-yourself sugar scrubs! Tis' the season. Been getting my craft on for the holidays. Found a really simple-fun-delectible recipe for homemade sugar scrubs from petitElephant.

 This recipe is simple and just calls for regular cane sugar, brown sugar, olive oil, and vanilla extract. I wanted to jazz it up a notch and made a variety of different scrubs adding my own ingredients.

Measurement of each ingredient depends on the size of container you choose to keep the scrub in. An equal portion of brown sugar and cane sugar is ideal, whisk together, add olive oil (can be substituted with soy bean oil, coconut oil, baby oil, vitamin E oil, or all of the above), let oil settle down to bottom of container. You can stir concoction to speed up the process if you desire.
