Quick and Easy DIY Body Scrub

I have many wonderful people in my life and for that I am so incredibly thankful. With Christmas less than two weeks away, I have been a crafting machine! I won't give too much away but I did want to share a great gift idea for you last minute gift givers. 

This body scrub comes together quickly and easily. It can be customized in many ways to fit the personality of whomever it's for. Today I made a peppermint body scrub but you can use vanilla, lavender, or lemon. 

Here's what you'll need:

2 cups sugar

1/3-1/2 cup of coconut oil

Peppermint extract or essential oil

Food coloring to tint the scrub

Warm the oil in the microwave until it is liquid-y (yes it's a word!) Slowly beat it I to the sugar until you reach a moist consistency without it being too oily. Add in the extract & food coloring until it's reached the fragrance & color level that you like. This recipe filled 5-4oz jars. It works nicely on hands but I prefer using peppermint as a foot scrub. Merry gifting and as always...
