a neat christmas gift!

Not long ago, a friend gave me a jar of sea salt scrub.  I procrastinated about trying it, but when I finally did - YEAH!  It's excellent!  And now it's running low...so I researched the brand and price on the net.  It's a bit more expensive than I'm willing to pay, but the search also netted recipes.

I decided to experiment with the most simple one - 1/2 cup fine sea salt and 1/2 cup of olive oil (but you can substitute sweet almond oil) and 10 drops of essential oil, your choice of scent.

My experiment sat on the counter for a week before I decided to try it, and it is JUST as excellent as the $30 jar!  I'm making a boatload of the stuff and giving it for Christmas gifts!

What a great idea! Maybe I'll make some too for gifts. I'll add it to my simple christmas ideas list. Thanks for the suggestion. Martha :-)

Sounds like a great idea. My hairdresser makes her own homeopathy rememdies and is constantly trying to get me to try them out. (Hugs) Indigo
