DIY Brown Sugar Body Scrub

Who knew you could make your own body scrub with ingredients you may already have in your kitchen?! I recently found this pin while surfing Pinterest that came from glamour.com. To make your own body scrub you need:

• 1 cup raw oatmeal
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 1 cup olive oil

Mix the 3 ingredients together and that's it! I used this scrub last night. It doesn't smell as good as I hoped, but I can feel a difference in my skin. The olive oil really locks moisture into your skin which is perfect for summer! This would be a great and easy gift idea... just get a cute jar and some ribbon. I used a leftover rice container from Tijuana Flats to keep the body scrub in :)

Bathroom Cleaner!

I hate cleaning my bathtub! Strange, I know, but I would rather clean the toilet before I clean the bathtub. So between that and the clog we have had in our drain, our bathtub was in lovely shape. While surfing Pinterest one day, I found this pin that was supposed to be magic! Anything that would easily clean my bathtub, I was definitely interested in.....

To make this bathroom cleaner you need:

• spray bottle
• 1 part white distilled vinegar (warm it up for about 1 minute)
• 1 part blue Dawn (apparently it is very important it is the blue kind)

 Mix the warm vinegar and blue Dawn together in the spray bottle. (Warm vinegar smells awful!! But it is better than inhaling chemicals while cleaning!) Shake it up then spray away! Let it sit for about 1 hour. 

Don't let it sit more than one hour or the blue starts to stain the tub.

 After 1 hour, use a sponge and wipe down the tub. I was thrilled with the results, I barely scrubbed at all! I used it on my sink and counter top, too! 

Pinterest Success! :)
