Coconut oil, oh the many uses

Just this past year I got really into using coconut oil. I absolutely love the stuff. It has so many uses. I use to bake, cook, for my hair, on my face for moisturizer, and in body scrubs. There are a TON other things you can use it for but I just have not experimented with them yet. The coconut oil sugar scrub I concocted is amazing! it takes less than 5 minutes and you can probably find the stuff to make it right in your cupboards.

This is the little miracle worker. I use this brand but any will work. To make the sugar scrub:

mix 1/4c coconut oil, 1/2c brown sugar and 1/2 tsp vanilla. The smell is divine!



Trust me you will not regret making this, smells so good and leaves your skin feeling super smooth. The warm water of the shower just melt the oil and brown sugar so you don't have to worry about a sugary mess to clean up. I store mine in a mason jar or old Tupperware.

Also it can  make a super easy affordable gift. Cut out a few squares of fabric and tie on a bow.

I do have to give you one warning for using this scrub. If you have an ant problem, seal the lid tight! I found that one out when I wen to get in the shower and found a trail of ants enjoying my coconut sugar scrub just as much as I do.
