Gingerbread Sugar Scrub
A gift so sweet you could eat, literally! But you could also enjoy and keep for yourself. No judgments here, momma.
Over the weekend I participated in a holiday baking exchange. In addition to cookies and peppermint bark, I thought it would be a great idea to make a body scrub made out of delicious ingredients I already had in my house. This "recipe" is super simple and makes for the perfect gift to the hostess of all your holiday parties or a thoughtful last minute gift, too. The ingredients are only 2 main ones, and the others are spices you definitely have left over from those Thanksgiving pumpkin and apple pies.
You'll need ...
1/2 c coconut oil
1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
1 Tbsp honey, raw/organic if possible
1 1/4 c cane sugar (or regular granulated sugar)
2 tsp ginger
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp nutmeg
small glass jar
What to do ...
Soften your coconut oil by putting it in the microwave for 20 seconds or so. Add the vanilla extract and honey to this bowl.
In a medium bowl, add all dry ingredients and whisk together.
With a wooden spoon add the wet ingredients to the dry and mix until thoroughly combined.
Scoop mixture into glass jar.
Decorate with your fanciest holiday ribbon.
Lovingly,
TLBS
