Love Love Love this scrub. I use it all over my body in the shower a couple times a week and it has taken the place of my face cleanser. Stupid easy to make and smells good enough to eat π Thank you for sharing this recipe, I make it all the time.
Glad you love the scrub as much as I do Kate – and yes it smells good enough to eat! π
I have seen something similar as a baby shower favor that was pink. Have you ever tried this and if so what additive might I use for a baby pink color?? Love your ideas and photography as well! Thanks for sharing;)
