Homemade Peppermint Vanilla Sugar Scrub

I work with very amazing woman at school! Of course my 8A team is the cream of the crop in my eyes and no one deserves this scrub more than them, but there are a lot of woman behind the scenes that keep me going on a daily basis too and there is no way that I could leave them out when it came time to make Christmas gifts for the girls at work! So tonight I made homemade sugar scrub for all of those wonderful ladies that I work with (and Kyan's teacher to0)!


What I love is that the recipe is large enough to split into several small containers, so if you can't afford to make everyone the full 8oz (I would be broke if I made everyone I work with the large container, remember, I am a teacher after all!), you can fill smaller jars to share between quite a few people!

And because I couldn't make everyone the large container, I included the recipe (you can print it off too) with their mini scrub and card! It is super easy to make and really doesn't take that long at all (unless you make 10 batches of it like I did tonight)!

If you would like to see the recipe broken down step-by-step, click here, this isn't my first time making this scrub! I just switched up the fragrance oil to make it more Christmas-y!

I did make those labels (and the recipe card) using picnik.com for you to use too if you try the scrub and want to give it as Christmas gifts! They fit perfectly on the lock-a-bles from JoAnn's! I haven't ever posted printables online before, so not sure if I am doing this correctly, but you should be able to click on the picture and it will pull it into a new screen where it is bigger, then you just print from there (if someone knows a better way, help a sista out)!



I am excited to play Santa tomorrow!

The idea of this scent... yum! A lot of the ingredients are pretty unique to me though, I'm not sure where I would find them.
You did a great job with the printables, I clicked on the recipe then saved the image. :)
Oh I also have to say how lovely your blog header is, what a beautiful family picture!
