Body Sugar Scrub (not the one that doesn’t pay his bills)

Every girl deserves to feel pampered and smell like they’ve stepped out of a jungle of candy canes and eucalyptus trees…right?  For that reason, I created a Eucalyptus mint sugar body scrub for the women in my life. I hope they think of me as they are scrubbing away dead skin cells…on second thought…I hope they don’t. 


This is what you’ll need:
2 Cups Pure organic cane sugar- I found a container at Target for $4.00
1 Cup Almond oil (or other kinds of carrier oil) this is a very important ingredient because it dilutes the essential oils, which is not good to use without dilution
8 drops of Essential oils- I used 4 drops of Eucalyptus and 4 peppermint
Pipette
Jars

Mix all ingredients in large mixing bowl. Spoon mixture into pretty little jars. I had to double this recipe for the 3 medium and 1 large jar I had. Make sure to test it out first! Besides…you worked hard to do this, might as well have smooth hands.  
 
I glued a charm to the top and tied a bow around it to bring the look together.
Give to your friends, family, or anyone that needs a good scrubbin’.
