things i am lovin' this week.

1- DIY lemon sugar hand scrub.

• Materials
• 2 cups sugar
• 1/4 - 1/3 cup almond oil
• few drops of fresh squeezed lemon or lemon essential oil
• cute container (I used a ball jar) to put it in
• ribbon & paper to make label (optional)
• spoon (optional)
• It is as simple as this -- mix all the ingredients together until there isn't any floating liquid. Place in a jar with a lid, label, & tie on the spoon. Enjoy!

2- DIY peppermint foot scrub. 

• Materials: 
• 1 cup sugar
• olive oil or coconut oil
• few drops of peppermint essential oil or peppermint eucalyptus massage oil
• Add all ingredients together. Add the olive oil or coconut oil until the mix is wet, but grainy. Takes a little trial & error. Put in a cute container with a lid & add a label. 

3 - my super smooth legs. read recently that the best way to get super smooth legs (& I am talkin' as smooth as a wax!) was to first shave regularly, then use a scrub (same recipe as the lemon above), then shave again. basic principle was that you were also getting off the dead skin, etc. Swear, it works!
