Sugar Scrub- Homemade

I have had an obsession with sugar scrubs in the last few weeks, removing all of the dead and facing spring feeling fresh and renewed. I even gave some to my mother, who has in the last two weeks already asked for several refills. This stuff works very well, leaving skin soft and smooth (even the bottom of your feet!) 
I plan to dabble with the recipe a bit when I have some more time, but so far this is what I use:
  •  a splash of olive oil 
  • half a cup or so of brown sugar
  • 1 cup lemon juice ( fresh squeezed is more fragrant-but bottled is cheaper to use)
  • white cane sugar - I just add until I have the desired amount of sugar in the scrub. We use a lot of sugar in our sugar scrub, probably at least two cups. 
  • few drops of mint and vanilla extract ( I love smelling minty!)
Mix together and enjoy!
