give me some suga, baby.

the older i get the more fun i have buying and giving gifts to my family and friends.
i get so much joy out of watching people open the presents i have bought or made for them!

this year i made all of my family and friends something special.

i discovered this little slice of heaven online and actually ate at a restaurant a couple of weeks ago that had some in the bathroom.

once i used it i knew i had to not only have some for myself, but i also had to figure out a way to make some for others.

it's the most amazing thing you will ever put on your hands.

except for maybe fuzzy gloves, those are nice too.

anyways, this little slice of heaven i'm talking about is a sugar hand scrub.

a homemade, cost efficient, easy as pie, sugar hand scrub.

and today you get to find out how i made it.

Merry Christmas to you!

what you'll need:

6 mason jars (that's how many jars i got out of this recipe)

1 5lb bag of pure cane sugar

1 large thing of 100% vegetable oil

1 jar of scented oil-

your choice of scent, i used vanilla

1 yard of fabric

i picked out a few different styles

rubber bands- to make her dance (haha kidding)

and ribbon.

and that's it!!

what you do:

fill your mason jar halfway with sugar

fill the rest of the mason jar with vegetable oil

mix together

add 2 large drops of scented oil and mix again

put the lids on those babies

cut out your squares of fabric (you'll top the jars with these)

sidenote: i didn't have a ruler so i kind of just winged this part-

a ruler would have been nice though

put your fabric on the top of the jars and hold it with a rubber band

now add pretty ribbon...

and voila!!! you're done.

daddy got marine corps fabric, of course.

when i say that my family and friends loved this... i mean it!

don't be surprised if it ends up all over your body and not just your hands.

that's a normal side effect.

now let's go make our New Years plans!!
