I didn't.
I relied a little too heavily on retail therapy at times and sadly brought some credit card debt into our marriage. I wish I hadn't, but I did.
One of my favorite splurges was a trip to a certain overpriced store full of lotions, soaps and scrubs. Oh, how I miss it!
Now I make my own hand and foot scrub. It's super-easy!
It takes just three ingredients. Oil, salt (sugar works too!) and essential oil. Here's how:
That's it! Now add it to a cute jar, tie a piece of raffia or a ribbon around the top and you have a great little gift for your mom! Or yourself.
I keep a small jar by my kitchen sink. It works great to get funky odors off my fingers when I'm cooking (like garlic or onion), and it helps restore my hands after I work in the garden. My hands are very clean and moisturized and smell great too!
Try it!
Great idea. I am so hard on my hands-I will try this out! Thanks- xo Diana
ReplyDeleteThis I have ro try. Think it will work as a scrub for the body too.

I love how you say you use to think you lived on a budget...I'm so with you! Before kids, budgeting for me was going out for dinner once a weekend instead of twice.
ReplyDeleteI love your scrub idea - I was also once addicted to the yummy deliciousness of said $$$ bath/body store...I'd probably have heart palpitations if I spent $8 on a bottle of body wash now!
