Today Kendra from Kreative Kreations is here to share her relaxing body scrub....what a great gift idea or treat for yourself...
Every
once in a while I wish I could unplug from everything. I want to put
the baby to bed early, let my husband stretch out on the couch to watch a
game, and go upstairs to have time just for me. I don’t mean a few
minutes to catch up on bills, homework, or whatever chore I didn’t get
to that day. No, I mean relaxing in our Jacuzzi tub. I mean scented
candles, face masks, great music, maybe a glass of wine, and a relaxing
body scrub.
These
moments don’t come often enough. I love my family, but we all need a
break every so often. Well, I know I may not get to unplug anytime soon
but when I do I’ll be prepared. I decided to make a body scrub for that
relaxing evening (hopefully, not too far into the future). It’s made
with three simple ingredients and can be made in a flash. I also wanted
my body scrub to be in a cute little container. Here is what I have
ready for when that special “me” time comes. Enjoy!
What You Need
¾ Cup Oats (Rolled or Steel Cut, Not Instant)
½ Cup Raw Sugar
4 Tbsp. Coconut Milk
1 Small Glass Jar with Top
Decorative Stickers
Ribbon
Directions
Place oats in food processor. Run on low for 30 seconds.
Place oats in food processor. Run on low for 30 seconds.
Place
sugar in processor and run on low for 10 seconds. (The picture shows
the difference between raw sugar and granulated sugar. Raw sugar is on
the left.)
Add coconut milk and run on low until mixture looks like a paste.
Let mixture sit for three minutes. While mixture is settling, place stickers on jar.
Scoop mixture into jar and seal. Tie ribbon around lid of jar. Mixture can be refrigerated for up to seven days.

I can't decide which I like better...the idea of the coconut scrub, which I'm sure smells fantastic, or the cute jar you put it in! What a great project! Thanks for sharing it with everyone at the Cafe today!

ReplyDeleteHi, Natalie! Thank you so much for having me!
DeleteAlthough the coconut scrub sounds divine, I'm thinking this is a great start to a cookie recipe :) I bet the coconut milk and oatmeal makes your skin amazingly soft though.
ReplyDeleteCan I use coconut oil to make it more shelf stable?
ReplyDeleteHi love this will give a try. Can you tell me how to store it and how long it stays fresh. Thank you
