diy raspberry lemon sugar body scrub

I'm 99% sure that most girls love any products that smell nice, body scrubs, moisturisers, perfume and all that. We just do. So when one of the Blogger Project challenges was an easy spring diy, this was the very first thing that sprung ( geddit ) to mind. It's a body scrub, which is super easy to make, it's very moisturising, it has a lovely happy pink colour to it and smells good enough to eat!

You Will Need:

100g ( 1/2 cup ) granulated sugar

5 large spoonfuls of melted coconut oil ( this depends on what texture you want the scrub to be )

1/4 tsp raspberry extract

1/4 tsp lemon extract

red food colouring ( optional )

Method:

Mix all the ingredients into a large bowl. I ended up adding a bit more coconut oil. Start with 1/8 tsp of the extracts, and add more to your preference. If you want, you can add a drop of red food colouring to make it this lovely bright pink. When you're happy with the colour and scent, spoon it into a little jar - I put a cute label on mine, and gave it to my grandma for mother's day! I'll definitely be making more of these, as it looks amazing, smells amazing, and to be honest, it doesn't taste all that bad either.
