Citrus Aromatherapy Body Scrub

Personal Chef Austin Texas

Salt Scrub Ingredients
I have used many different salt or sugar scrubs to remove dry skin, and that invigorating feeling after a good scrub is wonderful. I have seen many different brands in different stores around such as Macy’s, Bed Bath & Beyond and to me they are a little expensive for what they are, so I have decide to make my own. I have different essential oils and being a chef I certainly have all different types of cooking oils, sugar and salt, in my pantry.

So, I woke up early on Saturday morning and it was raining outside and I was feeling like I wanted to soak in a nice bath, but of course I have no salt scrub just some bath salt. I decided to make my own and that is how I have came up with this particular body scrub.

Ingredients:
2 C Sugar
2 C Coarse Salt
1/2 C of Coconut Oil
1/2 Olive Oil
30 drops of Orange “Now” Essential Oils
20 drops of Lemon “Now” Essential Oils
10 drops of Lavender “Now” Essential Oils
5 drops of Eucalyptus “Now” Essential Oils

Directions
: Mix all in large container to make sure the all of the oils are incorporated with the sugar and salt. Put into a storage container. I have them in small Ball canning jars so I can gift some to my friends. The aromatherapy alone from this salt is going to be very relaxing!

Red Solo Cup, I fill You Up, Measurement Guide

Solo Cup Measurement

I have been asked again and again about this post so I wanted to Re-Post it. I guess it is really good information and Solo Sups can be used for so many different things from drinking out of them, using them to paint with, etc…. Toby Keith had no idea what he was doing when he came up with the song Red Solo Cup. He made the cup oh so popular and then of course it was cool to have one in hand. I came across some good info and wanted to share it with everyone else because it just might come in real handy!

“Red Solo Measuring Cup”. I guess this will come in very useful with Graduation parties etc. If you are having a get together for any size group and do not want to do the dishes you will more than likely use a Solo cup. What most people do not know is that you can actually use this cup and it has forms of measurements that can be used for many different drinks. Enjoy…Cheers
