Homemade Body Scrub

While I was waiting for my cupcakes to bake, I decided I had the time to whip up a vanilla brown sugar body scrub.  I had planned on making these gifts to some of my in-laws, so why not now!

I found a recipe that sounded simple enough.  All I needed was brown sugar, granulated sugar, sunflower oil and vanilla.  I again had most of this on hand and only needed to buy the sunflower oil and mason jars that I was going to use to store it in.

I ended up making two batches of this as I needed to fill three mason jars, and one batch seemed to only make enough for one and a half.  It smells wonderful and when I tried a bit of it, it seemed to make my skin feel just as smooth and soft as the store bought scrubs.  It was definitely less expensive too!

I plan on presenting the gifts with a ribbon from my wreath project and some Apothecary labels I found online.  I am still not sure what I am going to do with them, but I will post about it when I do!
