DIY GIFT WEEK {day 1}

Because I have vowed that this holiday season will be a handmade one, I've decided to feature handmade gift ideas that I love everyday this week... So without further ado - here's something I've been dying to make {especially since my skin is seriously protesting this colder weather and in need of some moisture love}.

The Mother Huddle has a wonderful tutorial on homemade body scrubs that I plan to follow.  There are also a TON of recipes online - below are simply a few that sounded appealing to me.  {I tend to go for natural/organic products} Experiment!  I know I plan to...

RECIPE IDEAS

*lemon brown sugar body scrub

*lavender-vanilla sugar body scrub

Finishing touch?  Martha Stewart has some nice clip art labels to personalize the jars.  I might try to conjure up my own.  Will post the finished product when it is completed!
