I hope you are all having a relaxing last few days of 2012. My family and I went on a little vacation and pretty much the second we arrived at our destination– I got the flu. It's the nasty kind… fevers and chills, full on red nose (hello Rudolph), watery eyes… can't stop sneezin' and wheezin' flu.
I spent the first day inside alone but have been dragging myself out lately, determined not to let the darn flu ruin our family time. What I wish I had on hand right now is some of this Simple Citrus Scrub… and my own bathtub.
Ingredients
1 cup sea salt
1/2 cup grapeseed oil
17 drops of orange essential oil
Directions
Place the salt in a widemouthed jar and mix with grapeseed oil
Scent with essential oil
To Use
Dampen area you want to scrub
Using a loofah, rub the mixture into the skin
Rinse
Stay Healthy!
oh no Malia, I hope you get better real soon. What a cute scrub.
I love essential oils. For flu and colds, we call it a magic bath – 2 cups epsom salts, 10 drops eucalyptus oil 5 drops rosemary in warm bath water – soak as long as possible. I wish you could take one right now. My kids love it when they start to feel bad.
Happy New Year!!!
I LOVE making and using sugar scrubs.. I am really into using my Pumpkin Spice one, right now :) This looks perfect for Spring and Summer. Thanks for sharing, Malia.

Sweet Malia, I hope you feel better quick! Being sick is no fun. Happy New Year and healthy days ahead!
What a lovely gift idea. The typed labels are super cute too. xoxo
Hope you are feeling better! I can’t live without my saline nasal rinse when I have a cold or flu, it makes sickness so much easier. Best to you!
I bet this smells amazing! I’ve used a similar recipe for making sugar scrub before, but I really love the look of the larger salt crystals in yours – pretty!
So cute! What a fun gift to receive!
I hope you are feeling better by now. I love scented scrubs and a citrus one sounds heavenly!
What a fabulous gift idea! Thanks so much for sharing!
