Home Made Treat!

Today there'll be two posts, but this first one is only a quickie cause I'm working. Tonight when I go home, I'm going to whip up a fast batch of Brown Sugar & Honey Body Scrub. It's soooo easy to make!

I first got the recipe from a friend, but there's also been variants in Southern Living Magazine & SELF.

You'll need:

1 cup packed Brown Sugar (packed means packed into the cup. it's nooot a type of Brown Sugar)

1/2 Cup Honey (you can use any honey, but i like Manuka Honey cause it's medicinal so it helps soothe ingrowns and razor burn)
Glass jar with lid OR pyrex bowl with lid (you cannot use clingwrap, foil, or anything less than solid to cover this or it just goes awful)

Mix the two together, Et Voila! You can add more honey/sugar as you desire, but you'll get the feel for it pretty quickly. You can add 2 teaspoons of Vanilla Essence to make it smell like fudge, or some sweet almond oil to give you a more silky feel.

On it's own, the scrub leaves your skin so soft and smooth, you'll wonder how you ended up in a supermodel's body! :) I find it's easier to use in the shower, it washes off better, and in the bath it tends to make the bathwater sludgy (bleh).  It's incredibly easy to wash off your body AND from inside the shower, and as long as you don't get water in it, and keep it sealed, this mix will last you two weeks of daily use, or four weeks of every few days.
