No matter how many lists I make, how prepared I think I am, there will be an occasion where I find myself in need of a gift. And when that happens, I whip up a sugar scrub. These can be made in 5 minutes and remind me of Christmas.
Just click the title of the sugar scrub recipe you'd like to make.
DIY Gingerbread Sugar Scrub--This smells just as delicious as the real thing. No baking required.
DIY Candy Cane Sugar Scrub--This peppermint-scented scrub is striped, just like a candy cane. I love using this on my feet.
DIY Snickerdoodle Sugar Scrub--One of my faves--the scent on this always invokes warm memories.
DIY Starbucks Sugar Scrubs--I created sugar scrubs based on 3 popular drinks at Starbucks. These are always a hit!
Which one did you like the best?
Extra Elle:
- Everything is wrapped and under the tree. I'm still in denial. I usually wait until the last moment.
- Every year I watch the Santaland Diaries, a play based on a story by David Sedaris. It still makes me laugh until I get tears in my eyes.
Ohh that lip scrub sounds amazing! Definitely going to have to make that! <3, Pamela Sequins & Sea Breezes

I like Lush lip scrubs so making some of that on my own sounds pretty awesome to me!
ReplyDeleteYears ago I tried a sugar scrub from The Body Shop and loved it. The peppermint and gingerbread ones especially sound so good, Elle.
ReplyDeleteI absolutely adore this! Hope you have a lovely day.

wonderful ideas!
ReplyDeleteThat lip scrub sounds fantastic, a perfect winter gift. I need to try and make a scrub on my own sometime instead of shelling out loads of $$$ for one.
ReplyDeleteI think all of these are scrubs, but for some reason, they are definitely making me hungry for dessert lol. Don't ask. Loving this list Elle.

This post has made me hungry! I've got all my gifts wrapped too. Look at us all on top of things this year!
ReplyDeleteI always love your scrub posts! Last year I was gifted a lovely coffee and peppermint scrub. I wanted to eat it. (; I too am in denial. I was done first week of December. Holla!
ReplyDeleteHomemade sugar scrubs are the best :) Love this holiday-inspired versions!
ReplyDeleteDani | www.styledvariety.com
I just want to EAT all of them! lol
ReplyDeleteWonderful as always! x
ReplyDeleteThese all sound so fab!! I love scrubs.
ReplyDeleteAre these scrubs edible? LOL! I think I need to do the lip and candy cane scrubs immediately! And go you for wrapping your presents! I haven't wrapped a single one, but I usually wait and do them all at once so I don't have to get out all that stuff and put it away more than one time! Happy Monday!
ReplyDeleteThe starbucks scrubs are so cute! I think I would like Peppermint Mocha scrub or the regular candy cane scrub the best.
ReplyDeleteI would love ALL of these--especially the gingerbread one.
ReplyDeleteI just want to eat all of those scrubs! Yikes it's next week! I have some last minute shopping to do!

These all sound fabulous, especially the Santa lip scrub.
ReplyDeleteYour scrubs always look amazing! I think I need to make some this week :)
ReplyDeleteOoo the lip scrub sounds amazing and I've never thought to exfoliate my lips before..
ReplyDeleteThose starbucks scrubs look fun! I wish I had all of the presents wrapped, I got through wrapping half of my daughters gifts today, though!

A nice scrub now would be so good, I confess I am knackered today and need some rest! I still have 3 or 4 presents to buy and will solve all this week, but a scrub is nice for other times too, not only when I am tired :) I bought agar agar (I'm vegetarian) for the "ice cubes shower gel" that you taught once!

way to go with having everything wrapped.

These scrubs sound delicious! I still need to wrap all of the presents, but at least I have everything!
ReplyDeleteYou had me at 5 minutes... these are all great ideas and I bet that snickerdoodle scrub smells WONDERFUL. (Well, I know they all do, but that one sounds especially delicious!)
