HAPPINESS IS HANDMADE

I have always loved giving homemade gifts. It makes sense that I ended up being a DIY blogger!

Speaking of bloggers, I’ve joined up with three blogger friends to showcase a different handmade holiday gift for the next 3 weeks. Do the math, that’s 4 weeks of ideas from 4 of us. 16 ideas to make yourself!

Taking time to craft something for those I care about brings me joy.

These scrubs can be made in a very short time, less than 30 minutes.

The other thing I love about homemade or any gift, is the presentation and wrapping.

There are so many fun and creative ways to prepare your gift for giving.

SUGAR SCRUBS TAKE ONE

The first homemade scrub I am sharing is lemon.

Lemon is an uplifting and joyful scent.

All of the scrubs are made from the same base of Turbinado Sugar and Coconut Oil.

I like the Turbinado because it is more course and is a better exfoliant.

The only thing that changes between the scrubs is the scent which is always from essential oils.

LEMON SUGAR SCRUB RECIPE

1 CUP OF COCONUT OIL (RIGHT FROM CONTAINER)

1/2 CUP OF TURBINADO SUGAR OR GRANULATED SUGAR

2-3 DROPS LEMONGRASS ESSENTIAL OIL

1/2 TABLESPOON OF LEMON ZEST

DIRECTIONS: MIX ALL INGREDIENTS TOGETHER AND PUT IN AN AIRTIGHT NON BREAKABLE CONTAINER.

HOMEMADE SUGAR SCRUB TAKE TWO

This next scrub is another favorite. Lavender.

I’m one to always add Epsom Salts to my baths, there is a Dr.Teal’s product with Lavender included.

It smells divine. A beautiful calming scent.

LAVENDER SUGAR SCRUB RECIPE

1 CUP COCONUT OIL

1/2 CUP TURINADO SUGAR OR GRANULATED SUGAR

1 TABLESPOON OF LAVENDER BUDS

2-3 DROPS OF LAVENDER ESSENTIAL OIL

MIX TOGETHER AND PUT IN AN AIRTIGHT UNBREAKABLE CONTAINER

HOMEMADE SUGAR SCRUB TAKE THREE

Do you take baths to relax? Wake up? Or get energized?

If you are looking for an invigorating scent, the eucalyptus scrub is for you.

EUCALYPTUS SUGAR SCRUB RECIPE

1 CUP COCONUT OIL

1/2 CUP OF TURBINADO SUGAR OR GRANULATED SUGAR

2 DROPS OF EUCALYPTUS ESSENTIAL OIL

MIX AND PLACE IN AN AIRTIGHT, UNBREAKABLE CONTAINER.

ESSENTIAL OILS FOR HOMEMADE SUGAR SCRUBS

MAKING THE SCRUBS

DIY Snow Globe. I found some at the Dollar Tree for $1.25 and some at Walmart for $.98.

They have an insert so that you could actually fill them with water as a snow globe.

But I like that it’s plastic, shatterproof and is safer to sit on the lid near the tub.

Reminder – These are to be used in the tub, not shower because of the risk of slipping from the oil.
