Hello Ladies! Morning from the creek side apartment, with twinkly lights. Got your cuppa yet? O or are you still recovering from port fountain? Honestly, me too. I think I could sleep for another 5 days, uninterrupted. But between my slumber and half-consciousness, I would love to give my feet some love; smother them in some oily and sugary goodness! And believe me, once you have tried this scrub, you would never really want to buy another expensive so called “organic” bull **** as this beats the butt out of any scrub that you’ve used by far.
Why would you believe me? Because I am cosmetic junkie and my feet are not the best feature of my body. In fact they are I think quite fugly by standard. They only look good in certain nail-colors, get dry very fast and gives me a hard time to make it look moisturized. Evidently, I have tried pretty much everything that can make my feet look pretty: consider everything. But nothing in this whole wide world could give me a feet like this did. This is absolutely amazing. Plus, this recipe come from the beachcottage queen, Sarah– I seriously cannot thank her enough for sharing this. It’s on her blog.
What you need for this o-so-beautiful scrub:
Granulated sugar
olive oil/ Almond oil (I use olive oil because its less expensive plus it works really well for me)
Essential oil: I used lavender, you can use any of your choice.
A glass bowl or jar
HOW
Pour the sugar and dowse it in oil till it reaches a scrub consistency. Now add a drop of your essential oil and mix well. Store in your bathroom shelf- it does have a pretty good shelf life.
My tip*
Crush granulated sugar to semi fine powder. Pour olive oil and 2 drops of lemon juice. This will work as a body polishing scrub too, all the while moisturizing you body.
Try this and see. You’ll be all excited as I am.

i’m glad i found you’re blog, you have great ideas! 🙂
Thank you Anuschka 🙂 Your blog’s photography is blowing me!
That does look very relaxing and it is time I do believe to bring it on. I’m still taking time off from my blog….how selfish huh? Loving it! xo
Ah! Yes. Bring it on. But Wendy, its great you are taking some time off. Believe me its worth it and its not selfish at all 🙂
I’m thrilled to find this, too! Would love to try it…especially in lavender! Happy holidays! ♥
Thank you Lavender princess. It smells yum. Gotta try it!
Oh this looks amazing! I used to use a lemon salt scrub when I lived at the coast, I miss it so much, it was wonderful, so I’ll have to give this a try,
Thanks for the comment on my pics, the blue cobalt is my fave too, my hubby took that one, with his camera which is far better than mine 😉
Haha. Honestly, i think any cam would have brought out its beauty…but yes, beautiful picture. Gotta give it to the man and his camera. I was smitten.
Also, if you have dry skin and it feels parched, this is a must try. You’ll be amazed by the result. Enjoy 🙂
Awesome !!I am going to try this soon ! I am a mega-fan of all sorts of lotions and potions hehe
Go girl. Give it a try. Also, Trumatter is now gonna be in Facebook
I’ve never had a sugar scrub – only salt. I wonder if it changes it a great deal?
Tammy, salt is basically a dehydrant, so it works really well for open pores and oily skin. Sugar on the other hand is a moisturizer. So, this is probably the only difference 🙂 I have dry skin. So, this works really well for me. Also, are you on Twitter?
I am. @T_McLeod
Added you!
I love this idea – is it possible to make a big batch and save it??? (i work 60-80 hours a week and time saving is a necessity). Thanks
Hi Melisa, yes. You can just make a batch and store it in glass jars. You can store it for a month or two unless you use it up. 🙂
