DIY Craft: Homemade Natural Sugar Body Scrub Recipe (Paraben-free) with Honey, Lemon and Oil

Hi, everyone! How is your weekend going, guys? My Saturday morning was a bit "crafty", cause I was making a body scrub for my SPA time tomorrow. It's super easy and fun to make, so I couldn't help sharing the recipe with all of you!;-)
Here is what I used:
  • Glass jar - $1 at Dollar Tree, or you can also reuse a candle jar with a lid
  • 4 cups of sugar - brown would be the best
  • ½ a cup of honey
  • ¼ a cup of lemon juice
  • 1 cup of olive oil 
  • a few drops of essential oil

I simply mixed all the ingredient together, and now I have a wonderful body scrub that will last me for some VERY long time!

I hope you, guys, will have some crafty time this weekend as well;-) Enjoy!

    Простой и полезный рецепт. Думаю, а запах от него вообще непередаваемый!

    Кстати, у нас если брать мед, который засахарился ( с крупинками сахара, густой), то можно даже сахар не класть
