{Upcycled} Baby Shower Sugar Scrub Favors

Well hello there everyone!

I have been gone for quite awhile and I just want you all to know how much I appreciate those of you who have stuck around as well as you new readers(Thank you Pinterest!). I am almost 19 weeks along with pregnancy #3, and though I am feeling better, I am still SO stinking tired! Blah! Add to that, the Internet on my laptop was not working and that left me with no time for blogging. I am determined to come back though because I have missed the blogging community and my blog friends so much.

I have some new projects in the works,

but for now I will share some things from the summer that never got posted.

I am a big fan up upcycling and repurposing and these

Upcycled Baby Food Jars to Tealight Holders are one of my favorite projects.

I just love the simplicity of them as well as how little they cost to make.

Cute + frugal = Happy ME!

This is another of my favorite projects: Super Skintastic Sugar Scrub.

Not only does it make my skin smooth and moisturized, but it is cheap and easy to make. 

I'll bet you even have all the ingredients in your kitchen right now!

For my friends' baby shower favors we combined these two projects into:

Sugar Scrub Baby Shower Favors!

Get it? Baby food jars as favors for a BABY SHOWER?!? Ha ha ha!

I know...genius, right?

Scrub out the baby food jars really well and let them dry.

Scrub the lids.

Prime and paint the lids.

Mod Podge strips of fabric around jar and tie on ribbons.

Also, remove marking pen before assembling. *Wink Wink*

We used a few of them to hold candy as a cute decoration.

I made a large Sugar Scrub for the preggo (it is SO good for that stretching skin)

and we displayed them all on this adorable vintage baby scale.

Okay, so theres my first real post in months!

What did you think? ;)

I am linking up with these lovely parties:)

Super Skintastic Sugar Scrub

This is my favorite bath stuff ever!

The best part is that it is all natural and it's super cheap to make.

It also makes a wonderful gift(Mothers Day, Teachers, Party Favors)

I got this jar at Walmart for about 3 dollars.

It has a great mouth size for scooping out the scrub,

and it's the perfect size...not too big and not too small.

 Here is what you will need to make this skin-tastic sugar scrub:

1 Part Brown Sugar and 1 Part White Sugar.

(I used 1 1/2 cups of each here)

1 Part of your choice of oil.

Use more or less depending on how oily you want it to be.

I use Grapeseed Oil because it doesn't have a strong smell.

I add Vitamin E because it acts as a natural preservative and,

well, it's GOOD for your skin:)

I used 7 soft gels...poke a hole in one end and squeeze it out.

Blend the brown sugar with the white sugar.

Mix in the oil and add the Vitamin E oil.

You can add Essential Oils if you want, but I like the sweet sugar smell:)

YUM!

Fill up your jar and then scrub your skin super smooth or give it as a gift.

WARNING: Your tub will be slippery so please be careful!

Also, maybe wash your tub before you give your toddler a bath the next day.

Just sayin'.

Enjoy your super silky skin!
