Homemade Body Scrub

My boyfriend recently told me he is taking me on a romantic getaway this weekend and I was ecstatic. Whoo hoo! I wanted to prepare myself so I look my best on the trip. I decided I needed a good body scrub but then realized I didn't have any. I also didn't want to spend any money (time to save up for holiday gifts for the fam!). So then I thought, why not make my own?! I used two ingredients which worked like magic:

One: Extra virgin olive oil which is the purest of its kind. Olive oil is great for the skin since it is rich in nutrients and antioxidants like vitamins A, E, and polyphenols which help slow the signs of aging. Olive oil also works as a natural moisturizer without making your skin too greasy. (I stock up at Costco!)

Two: Sugar, which helps exfoliate the skin. 

This is what it looks like:



It worked great! My skin feels very soft and smooth. Can't wait to show some skin this weekend!
