DIY Peppermint Body Scrub

Today I have teamed up with some creative blogging friends to bring you a homemade holiday gift, perfect for a teacher, friend, or loved one.  I don't know about you, but my skin really suffers from the changing of the weather.  As it gets colder out, I notice my skin feels dry and rough.  I'm always looking for a body scrub that I can use to heal and soothe my sore skin.  

I think all women enjoy pampering themselves and there is no better gift than a homemade body scrub to make them feel special this season. diy-peppermint-body-scrub-make-your-own-body-scrub-beauty-beauty-products-organic-beauty-products-bath-salts-and-scrubs-homemade-shower-scrub

This project is so simple, I may just start whipping up huge batches for all my friends and family!

Here's how I made it.

I can't imagine a nicer gift for a teacher.  I used to be a teacher and believe me, by the time you get to Christmas, you are in need of a relaxing spa day!  The kids are excited and ready to take a break and the teachers are in need of time away from the kids also!  Couple this with a small gift card for coffee and I would be in heaven.Shop this Post Logo

    I haven’t used epsom salts in a body scrub before, but I like it way better than sugar. And peppermint anything is the best!

    I love to make DIY scrubs. I actually really like yours because I made some last year that was basically sugar, salt, and extracts. I had to hide it because my son kept trying to eat it! Your recipe would smell amazing but he wouldn’t eat it, lol. I love the epsom salt addition and now I can make body scrubs again!

  30. Amy, this looks like such a delightful gift that any teacher would love to receive! I bet it smells just like Christmas in a jar.

  31. I love the Epsom slat addition, this is the cutest gift and easy to make for a crowd, even better! Thanks so much for joining us today!

  32. Your scrub looks so pretty Amy! I love the smell of peppermint at Christmastime too! Pinning to my Christmas board 🙂

  33. I never thought of adding food coloring–I love the pop of color! Pinned to my teacher gifts board.

The Sunday Letter

Most Sundays, once the house has gone quiet and it's edging towards nine, a letter goes out. It's the one I'd write to a friend with good taste and not nearly enough time: one thing worth reading, one thing worth buying, and one thing to skip. No noise, no pressure to spend, just the considered version of what I've actually been using, loving, or quietly sending back.

If you like the sort of recommendation that still holds up six months later, leave your email below and I'll write to you on Sunday.
