DIY Sugar Scrub + Giveaway
Here in Colorado our Winters are pretty dry. I mean, we get a lot of snow (resulting in snow days & delays this week!!!) but the moisture doesn't stay in the air. As a result, our hair is staticy and our skin is dry. In a crazy turn of fate, we still get oily hair and pimples - how does that all add up?!!
I am always on the hunt for something to take care of my dull winter skin - brightening, moisturizing, and not causing outbreaks. It is more complicated than one would hope. Then you also have to look at all those extra ingredients and unpronounceable additives. I had heard so much about Essential Oils and DIY scrubs for healthy skin, so I jumped into making mine. I have been using it in the shower all over my body and it is working! This DIY scrub is so easy to make and I am sure you will love it! It is great for you or to give as a gift!
WHAT YOU NEED
- 1 Cup Brown Sugar
- 1/4 Cup Coconut Oil
- 15 drops of Essential Lemon Oil
- Glass jar (or Pyrex container - do not store in all plastic container)

ABOUT NICOLE
Hey friends! My name is Nicole and I am married to my best friend, Adam. We have two little dudes we call Emmett Dane and Gideon Brian Steele. Each day I keep the home fires burning in our 120 year-old-house, where you can find me creating, making yummy things to eat and sharing my love of essential oils.
After purchasing a starter kit with Young Living, we are having so much fun learning different ways to incorporate essential oils into our health and wellness routine. We have found things like peppermint oil for headaches, Thieves for boosting our immune system and lavender oil for relaxing sleep at night all to be so so helpful. I am so happy to have chemical free options for our family's health and home. If you've heard the essential oil buzz that has exploded on social media and wondered how it might help you and your family, leave your email address in the comments and I'll send over more info. I can't wait to learn together! xo
