Homemade Honey Sugar Scrub

I don't know about you, but whenever I see DIY beauty ideas in magazines I am never grabbed to try it. "Make your own lip balm!" Ugh, no thanks, this Burt's Bees is doing me just fine. But the one thing Whole Living magazine does is make me want to do exactly that. Well not lip balm, but exfoliants. My fave fave fave!

The magazine has pretty layouts.

I'll bet you actually have all this stuff on hand.

The recipe calls for 1 cup sugar, 1/4 cup olive oil,

1 teaspoon honey and 2 teaspoons lemon zest.

Mix it up.

It certainly smells like I made it and it didn't come from a store, but just go with it.

And there you have it! Homemade sugar scrub.

Can't wait to scrub down tomorrow morning.
