Brown Sugar Vanilla/Almond Scrub

 
These homemade scrubs make wonderful gifts.  They're so easy to do and people really love receiving and using them.  You can use them on your hands, feet, elbows or wherever you need some tender lovin' care.  The scrub smells so good, you almost want to eat it!!  You could keep a few to have on hand for hostess, friend or teacher gifts.  (Guys even like them, too.)  Here's the recipe:

2 cups brown sugar
1 cup white sugar
1 cup oil
  (I used 1/2 c. olive oil and 1/2 c. coconut oil)
1 T. vanilla extract
1 t. almond extract

Mix the sugar together until there are no lumps.  Add the rest of the ingredients and stir.
Package into jars and decorate with ribbon and a tag.  A little spoon or a shell is helpful for scooping. 
You may want to use a plastic container if you're worried about breakage in a bathroom.

    You've just given me a whole new combination of ingredients for a scrub. I'm thinking this would make me smell like a freshly baked cookie.

    Great idea for getting rid of that pesky winter skin! I like the idea of a plastic jar, too, for the very reason you said. That bad boy can get quite slippery!!! Yours is decorated beautifully!!!!!!

    That simple, no kidding?

    I ♥ how you made up your package, too.

    Leave it to the cooking gal to come up with foodie scrubs, huh?

    Thank you- I could use a head to toe scrub, haha.
