Crafty Craving

Lately, the inner Jess has really been craving some party stuff. I've had a couple little projects here and there, and you can find those here on my Party Blog.

But I found a cute little idea to make home made facial sugar scrub & just in time for one of my dear friend's birthdays! Here's the one I made and I've included the recipe below as well as some other fun Sugar Scrub Recipes. I found the ideas here.


Peppermint Sugar Scrub

Mix 3 parts white sugar and 1 part olive oil

1 teaspoon peppermint extract or essential oil

The consistency: Not oily runny everywhere, like the honey won’t mix all the way in.

Not breaking apart and lumpy like there is too much sugar.

Honey Almond Sleepy Sugar Scrub:

Mix about 3 parts white sugar and 1 part honey

2 Tablespoons tea

1 Teaspoon almond extract

(same consistency as above)



Vanilla Almond Brown Sugar Scrub:

Mix about 3 parts brown sugar and 2 parts olive oil

2 packets instant oatmeal (or about 1 cup oats)

Handful of almonds

1 teaspoon almond extract

Mix all in a food processor, or beat a bunch with a spoon (and chop the almonds)

This consistency will be more grainy than the last recipe, but should still have a little movement in it.

If your hands are too oily after, add more oats or sugar!

And voila, you have yourself a cheap (if not free) little pampering gift!
