Candy Cane Sugar Scrub

   I know, I know.  "It's too early!  Christmas is MONTHS away."  Those of you that know me know that I care not for your Christmas hating ways.  I have been counting down the days till Christmas since last Christmas!

   Hello.  My name is Cher, and I LOVE LOVE LOVE Christmas!  LOVE!

  Here is a GREAT money saving gift idea you can easily make at home for pennies from Jac O' Lyn Murphy! 


 (to fill a pint jar)
2 cups granulated white sugar
1/3 cup LIGHT olive oil (or any light color oil)
1/8 cup melted coconut oil
(or more olive oil/any other oil is fine too, I just like coconut)
1/4 tsp peppermint extract or essential oil
(I have had the best luck with this)
gradually add coloring until desired color is reached

Jacolyn says, "This is not an exact science! and I am not claiming to be any sort of beauty product expert :) It is fun to experiment, add a little more sugar, a little more oil, more or less extract
 until it looks, smells and feels how you would like it." 
PS:  103 days till Christmas!
