Candy cane sugar scrub {smooth, no greasy residue}


So after scouring lots of blogs and pinterest, I came up with my recipe for the perfect candy cane sugar scrub { cheap , no greasy residue, smooth, smells yummy }. It is as easy as this:

1 cup granulated sugar { could do brown sugar too }
1/4 cup crushed candy canes
1/4 cup extra virgin oil
1/8 cup body wash soap of choice { I used soft soap mineral extracts body wash, you could use 1/4 cup depending on how creamy you would love your scrub}
1/4 cup honey
8-10 drops of peppermint essential oil.

Mix sugar and candy cane {candy cane can be crushed in food processor or blender, needs to be same consistency as sugar}. If using brown sugar, mix till pours smoothly. Add your soap and oil , mix. Then the honey and your peppermint essential oil. Mix well and store in a decorated jar of choice. Keep away from children...smells so good my 4 year old almost ate it up!

I have used this 2 weeks in a row, it is awesome, leaves my skin soft. Used it on my face as well, so refreshing and tingling. I love the fact that I have some soap in there to take care of the germs. Store for 2-3 weeks. If gifting, it is nice to list the ingredients in case of allergies.

Give it a try and let me know what you think.

No sew, no glue wreath

DSCN5388
Pretty easy…find something circular..or buy wreath structure from craft store, wrap desired colors of tulle around it, knot it at one end. Then make a tulle pompom, tie it to the wreath with a ribbon or tulle, add any decorations of your choice... artificial pumpkin { from craft store} tied at the stem to wreath with ribbon...  and there.... all ready to hang…

Posted by PicasaSo one of our girls in the office is getting married! Wooohooo!. Well that meant I had to come up with something we could squeeze into normal working hours  using her wedding color theme and have fun. So I pulled this off in the break room.{ note to self: never have a bridal shower and see  your pediatric patients at the same time}. Anyway she loved it! Totally worth all the fuss...
