Grapefruit scrub

       Last week I mentioned my good friend, Lee, who makes amazingly creative and beautiful things.  When visiting her last week, the guest room had all the typical goodies-- beautiful fluffy towels, fresh flowers from her garden, a comfy bathrobe, etc.  but also included that extra special touch-- a scrumptious homemade grapefruit scrub for the shower. Wow! the scent was invigorating and the results, even better!  Silky smooth, glowing summer skin.  Before I left, she gave me a beautiful lavender scrub to take home that was sooooo pretty, I had to take a few photos to share with you here. Her lavender scrubs are made from all natural ingredients; lavender harvested from her pretty garden, some sea salt with yummy oils and vitamin E.   I  love that it's so organic!  And how creative is her packaging?  Each scrub is uniquely packaged in an antique salt or pepper shaker.  Aren't they beautiful? 

Here's a DIY recipe for a pretty Almond Sugar Scrub that is super easy to make!

Ingredients:

1 handful ground almonds
5 tb. ground oatmeal
2 tb. brown sugar
2 tb. honey
1/3 cup sunflower oil, or olive oil.

Instructions:
Combine all ingredients and blend well. Store in an airtight container when not in use.

Have a lovely day!

Millie
