  1. SO AWESOME!!! I love this!

    I love peppermint and lavendar mixed. It’s got a very calming effect on me and my migraines. I didn’t know making a body scrub was so easy! But I should have known, seeing as I make my own bath soaking salts and those are really easy too! I have everything I need to make this..I should do it this week!

  2. Great idea! These would be cute in mini Mason Jars, too!

    • Yes! That’s what I was planning to do but didn’t find small jars in time. But mason jars would be the perfect way to make this even more appealing for gift-giving.

  3. Your site looks different! I like it! And thanks for this cool post!! Nice to make your own!!

  4. I love exfoliating! I think I’ll make this for myself to relax during the busy holiday season.
    I’m not sure if Vanilla is an essential oil but its my favorite scent so I’d try to make that kind! 🙂

  5. I am definitely trying this,so simple and it looks so pretty! Naturally:)
    Funny..I was just thinking about this in the shower tonight and here it is!!
