...Vanilla Lemon Sugar Scrub!
I made this for all the ladies in the fam. It's pretty aswesome.
I used a combination of recipes. This one from Brandy at Gluesticks. And this one from Maggie at It's a Lunsford Thing.
I didn't take notes while I was altering the recipes, but luckily it isn't an exact science. Wing it.
I was making enough to fill the six jars above. I guesstimated the amount I'd need.
2 Cups(ish) White Sugar
2 Cups(ish) Brown Sugar
1 Cup(ish) Oil (I used olive oil)
1-2 Tbsp Lemon Juice
1 tsp Vanilla (or a drop of Vanilla Oil)
Mini Drop of Rosemary
I mixed the sugars first, then added the oil, lemon juice, vanilla and rosemary.
It looked a little runny at first, so I continued adding stuff until it looked 'right.' I wasn't really sure what 'right' was, but eventually it resembled something someone might use as body scrub.
Gluesticks linked me to Mean Mommy Academy, where I found the great labels I used. I added some hemp twine and a tongue depresser thingymajiggy.
They turned out pretty swell, I think.
**I used the leftovers in the shower and that taught me a few things...first I found that a lot of the sugar settles. Even after mixing it up a bit, it still helps to drain a little oil off the top. Which probably means I used too much oil to begin with. I also learned that pouring the oil out on the shower floor could make a serious slippery hazard. But, it works wonders for the skin. So super soft.
Try it.

ReplyDeleteI like the "ish" to your recipe! Would love to try it! I live in Colorado and it gets really dry here, especially in the winter months. Beautiful packaging!

ReplyDeleteLucky for me the little bit of extra oil seeped out on the plane (safely into a ziploc of course)... so mine is perfect! Not slippery at all, and my elbows have never been so smooth! :)
