D.I.Y. Coconut Oil Cookie Scented Body Scrub

This year I was worried I couldn't get Christmas gifts for everyone I wanted to. So I decided to try making gifts. Out of that came this awesome body scrub. I use this to exfoliate after my shower gel because it is extremely moisturizing, It leaves my skin feeling so soft. Plus it smells great. I can't eat cookies because of food allergies but I can smell like them with this scrub. It is super easy to make. You will need:

• 14 oz. of coconut oil
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 1 cup white sugar
• 2 tablespoons vanilla 
• 1 tablespoon cinnamon
• 1 table spoon salt
• 1 wide mouthed mason jar or other heat proof container

I started by warming the coconut oil until it was completely liquefied. I did this by placing the jar into a bowl of hot water until it poured out then warming it in a large pan on the lowest heat just until everything was liquid. Then I added all of the other ingredients and stirred well. I left it sitting on the counter and stirred every 15 minutes for about an hour so that it didn't separate. Once it is hard enough that it was difficult to stir it's done! I keep it in my bathroom and use it to exfoliate my hands, lips, feet, or body. Even after just one use you will notice a difference! Try it and let me know what you think!
