Last Min DIY Gift Guide

Before closing out 2019, we wanted to share our very own DIY holiday gift guide! This is great for all of you crafty (last-minute) gift-givers!

Coffee Sugar Body Scrub
Sugar body scrubs are a fun DIY project, not to mention exfoliating, detoxifying, and super hydrating. Plus, they smell delicious! Resist the urge to eat it though.

You'll need:

  • 1/2 cup brown sugar, cane sugar or Turbinado sugar. (Do not use refined sugar or bleached sugars).

  • 3/4 cup  ground coffee

  • 3-5 tablespoons coconut oil, extra-virgin olive oil, or jojoba oil. (Do not use vegetable or canola oil). 

  • Place the sugar and coffee in a small container and add oil one tablespoon at a time, mixing in between. The consistency should be sandy, not soupy.
