An hour away from any large store- and sometimes you need a quick gifts .

Today Lets talk about Basic Sugar & Salt Scrubs –

To make it-
- Combine the coconut oil and one cup of the sugar in a bowl and mix until creamy.
- Add the essential oil while continuing to stir. This is when you would add coloring too.
