Pretty gift for lovely people

The end of the school year has come and gone.  The lovely ladies who work in the kitchen at the school where I work have been short-staffed for 3 months.  They've done such a great job banding together to make everything work out!!  I thought they deserved a treat!

Here's what those lovely ladies received:

What's inside?  Well... it's my yummy smelling lavender sugar scrub!
Let me tell you, I put the extra in a jar and gave it to a friend.  She couldn't resist taking a whiff and the entire hallway smelled SO good!!!  For hours!!!

While there are tons of good recipes on Pinterest. I couldn't find one I truly liked.  So I combined a few to come up with this luxurious lavender sugar scrub.

Here's the scoop:

2 cups of Raw sugar

3/4 cup Coconut Oil

4 Drops of Lavender

 

 

Now... here's the fun stuff. 

Coconut Oil

 YL Lavender

 Raw Sugar



Coconut oil: Don't melt it in the microwave. It looses some of those great properties.  I heat water in a larger measuring cup, then put the coconut oil in a smaller one and melt it like a double-boiler.

 

I measure the sugar, then add the coconut oil (not all at once) and lavender.  Mix it all together. If it seems dry add a bit more.  It seemed with the raw sugar the oil absorbed more quickly.  I had to melt more...so, just keep an eye on that. 

 

I had these cute little jars I'd found at the Thrifty store. They were perfect!

I paired this with some gardening gloves and some sweet treats.  Sadly, I didn't take a final picture.
