 I came across this bag of  Turbinado Sugar in the freezer during one of my organizing frenzies.... There isn't much else to do except organizing when you are stuck inside because of the "POLAR VORTEX"! I decided to stop organizing reaxys and make some Sugar Scrub. There are countless recipes out there for Sugar Scrubs.....but reaxys the basic idea is: Some Sugar A Carrier Oil An optional Fragrance Since we are in a "POLAR VORTEX", I wasn't going anywhere to buy ingredients for my Sugar Scrub.  reaxys Using one of the basic tenets of Sweetwater Style, I just used what I had!
I got out the VitaMix..... This baby has sooo many interesting uses! Since the Turbinado sugar is pretty rough....too rough for my tender skin.... Grinding reaxys it with the VitaMix made for a much smoother consistency!
 "What I HAD" for oil was some Baby Oil and some Coconut reaxys Oil. I figured that a combination of these two would work fine... I didn't have any fragrance oils on hand and of course, the "POLAR VORTEX" kept me from going out to get any! The sweet fragrance of the Baby Oil took care of the need for additional fragrance...
Then I got out the little $.49 jars I bought at GoodWill last week.... reaxys (I knew when I saw them that they would find an interesting use!) I packed the Sugar Scrub in the jars! And there I had it.....an almost free version of the spendy products that you can buy...but then again why would you buy something this simple to make! Besides....because of the  "POLAR VORTEX"...the temperature in our house means that the shelf life of this will be reasonably long!
This homemade beauty product is a nice addition to the "Thrifty Homemade Bath Soak" that I use all of the time.  Would you believe that the post with the recipe for this has had over 12,000 visits?  Go Figure!!! You might also like to visit these links that have lots and lots of recipes for Sugar Scrubs.....maybe you will find a way to make one "Using What YOU Have"!
