Diy PIxie: DIY Bath Scrub/Hand Scrub and Bath Salts

I am a sucker for bath products. When we went on our honeymoon, there was this store that I had gone into a few times on previous trips, that had all these amazing looking (and smelling) bath products. Soaps and scrubs to the hearts content.

On my honeymoon, I bought some. And spent 50.00. And it wasn't even that much. But I was happy. Then I found Pinterest. And now I am like "Why didn't I look online sooner???"

There are so many versions out there. And me, being a newbie, decided to use the simplest one. Just to see if I could really "do" this. And I can. And it was easy. AND I FELT ALL POWERFUL.

First, I made a lemon hand scrub.

2.5 cups sugar

Lemon juice- now they say to go for fresh lemon juice, but our Walmart was out of single lemons ( really???) so I got the small bottled lemon juice next to it. It wasnt working to my liking ( not enough smell) so i used lemon extract. Just a small small bit to give it some smell. 4 tablespoons lemon juice and 1/2 teaspoon lemon extract worked well for me

1 cup olive oil. It is supposed to be extra virgin olive oil but i ran out and only had half a cup so i had to use regular olive oil.

Mix all together. Put in cute container. Your done.

Here's mine:

Excuse my mess ;) I am not neat when I create. I just used jelly jars from Wal-Mart. These were 8 bucks for a set of 12

Next, I decided to make some Bath salts. I had done some research and saw so many different ways to do this. Then I found one that was super simple. I , however, did not use essential oils because I do not have any on hand. It did say you can use extracts though. It doesnt have any of the properties that oils would have ( which ill have in my next batch) but it smells awesome and still has the properties of the salts for your bath.

Here's what you need:

1 cup Epsom Salts

1/2 cup kosher salt ( i used course sea salt kosher salt)

essential oil ( or extract i used strawberry and coconut) i used a VERY little and it was more than enough, my whole house smelled like coconut and strawberries lol

Food color- i used blue in the coconut just one drop at a time so it doesnt melt the salts. I only used 2 drops. For the Strawberry it was already pink colored ( the extract) so i added only 1 drop to give it a bit more pink/red color.

Combine the salts and mix. Then add everything else and stir/mix well! Thats it.
