Scrubs are one of my favorite things to make. So simple you can throw it together in a few minutes and they feel so nice to use.
The basic ingredients are sugar and oil (I like coconut best, because it has very little smell, unlike olive oil, which is very good for you skin, has a very strong smell). And then, though it is unnecessary, you can add a few drops of your favorite essential oil. I like to use peppermint, it has such a nice fresh smell.
Easy Sugar Scrub
2 cups sugar
1 cup oil
a few drops of essential oil (optional)
Mix all ingredients in a small bowl. Transfer to any desired container.
Scrubs are essential for me in the winter, my skin can get so dry! Using a nice coarse scrub maybe once even every other week really helps to keep my skin soft.

Au natural
Several years ago my family and I decided to cut pretty much all refined sugar and flour, and artificial ingredients from our diet. And I'm not sure when or why, but a few years ago I decided to also go au natural regarding the beauty products I use. It was a little difficult to get into the swing of it at first. And plus natural products usually cost a bit more that the stuff you can pick up at wal-mart.
But I'm so glad that I kept with it. I can't really imagine that putting some of the chemicals (that are put in the average lotion or shampoo) on ones skin and hair is going to have a good long term effect on ones body.
That's pretty much what this is all about. Long term. I don't want to get cancer! I figure, I take care of my body and my body will take care of me.
