Peppermint Sugar Scrub



Aren't those little half pint jars too cute?!


2/3 cup sugar
6 tbs coconut oil
4-10 drops essential oil

I measured out (regular) sugar in a small bowl and added the coconut oil.  Mixed a little bit.  I put about 5 drops of peppermint oil in and mixed it up really well.  Peppermint oil, if used in excess, can be a skin irritant, so I only added enough to give it a little bit of fragrance.  I probably would have chosen a different essential oil, but peppermint is all I had a the time.


Seriously, it only took me about 5 minutes to get everything out, take it to my shower where it is waiting for me, and come back and clean up.      


I was inspired by this blog post here; I originally saw it on Pinterest.  See Pinterest is good for something!  I just saved myself a little money by whipping up my own body scrub.
