Last Minute Gift Idea-Lavender Mint Sugar Scrub

Two more days!
I don't know about your house,
but ours is overflowing with excitement.
Still lots to do, as we are hosting Christmas Eve
but.....
incredibly happy to celebrate the evening with my family.
 
I thought I would quickly share this last minute gift idea,
Lavender Mint Sugar Scrub.
 
I made so many of these this year
&
everyone LOVED them.
 
Originally I got the idea from
Tracey at French Larkspur in the e-course
Creatively Made Home.
There are a bunch of different recipes out there, 
Pintrest is loaded.
Then I tried & tested a few variations.....
I decided to go with this one-
 
 Lavender Mint Sugar Scrub
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup oil(grapeseed, almond, vitamin e or olive)
15 drops of mint essential oil 
5-8 heads of lavender

 
 
 

Enjoy your Sunday!

    I made these as well, some in peppermint and some orange. I'll be giving them out Christmas day, hoping everyone loves theirs as much as my girls and I love 'em.
    The lavender looks so pretty mixed in with the scrub, I'm gonna have to try that one next!
    Have a Merry Christmas!

    I was wondering if you used any specific type of mint...peppermint, spearmint, etc or just mint. I have peppermint and was wondering if that would be a good mix. I'm excited to try this.

    Thanks
