5 Minute DIY: All Natural Body Scrub

Hi Friends -  As a busy working new mom I am always looking for quick, at-home and super easy SELF-CARE activities. That 10 - 15 minutes pampering myself daily makes ALL THE DIFFERENCE to my energy level and mood. When I don't have that time for me I really notice a difference. 

The other day my friend Jenn and I were at Sephora and I was seeing body scubs on the shelf for upwards of $50 and $60. What the what?! People, please! You can make your own body and lip scrub at home with ingredients you already have in your pantry. It is sooo simple. And, if you have a cute jar and a little ribbon, you have a hostess or birthday gift in minutes. 

I love to keep a jar of this body scrub in my bathroom to exfoliate my hands, lips and body. Sloughing off that dead skin and stimulating new cell growth is just moments away when you have something like this on hand. It's a small way to show yourself some love and luxury the next time you're in the shower! 

Uses:

• Exfoliator for hands, feet and body

• Pre-tan or pre-wax exfoliator

• Gentle lip scrub

• Self-care ritual
