Hi guys. I know i definitely have been slacking off, and I apologize. I know if I want to be a huge blogger, I gotta stay on it right? Sooo i wanted to change things up a bit and do a diy and some deserts that I have made recently. If you don't know what a diy is, it stands for Do It Yourself. I am all about diy's. I thin its really fun to try and re create something, not only because its lots of fun, but also because it can be a heck of a lot cheaper!
DIY Vanilla Sugar Scrub:
2 Cups white sugar
1 Cup oil (sweet almond, coconut etc)
1 tbs vitamin E oil
5 drops therapeutic grade Vanilla Essential Oil
optional** 3 drops Lavender Essential Oil
This scrub is very effective for those with dry skin. Sugar is exfoliating which means it will remove dead skin cells so that your skin will be much smoother and healthier. The oils you use will be very moisturizing, and the vitamin E oil is great for targeting scars, wrinkles and body acne.
