Last night I was bound and determined to be productive…and I was! I cleaned the kitchen, made buckeyes and also tried out a vanilla sugar scrub. I found directions for it on Pinterest, of all places, and thought it would be the perfect filler for some presents.
I modified my recipe a little bit but I think it still worked out perfectly! This was one of the fasted gifts I have ever made.
Ingredients:
3 cups Sugar
1 cup Olive Oil
2 tsp Vanilla Extract
Combine all three ingredients, yup that’s it! Super easy I tell ya. Now if you want a stronger scent of vanilla you can add more in. It also depends on your brand of vanilla because I think some are a little more concentrated than others. The original post I saw called for essential oil but I didn’t really feel like going to the store to buy some. I did a little research and found that vanilla is safe to use, and some people even use it daily for hair and body wash!
After mixing just place it in a pretty jar and make a little label. I had some old jam jars laying around and put it in there with some x-mas fabric on top! I also used the left overs myself and my hands were silky smooth 🙂

P.S. Only 4 more crafts to go! Thinking about adding in some candy recipes, do those count as crafts??
P.S.S. I will post a picture of the scrub after work today!
