Bird’s Eye D.I.Y.: Household Salt Scrub

January 24, 2014 Leave a Comment

For Christmas we were gifted with handmade sugar and salt scrubs from a dear friend of ours. I had asked her how she made them and if I could share on my blog, because my feet felt…let’s just say very shameful until I used some a few weeks ago. I really had no idea how simple it was to make your own scrub, until she told me. 3 basic ingredients that I’m pretty sure you have in your home right now! Of course if you Pinterest “how to” there are plenty of great ones available as well, this is just my version.

With Valentine’s Day coming up this is a great gift along with a few other goodies without going all out, but looking like you did. Such as creating a coupon book to add to this, or a bar of soap and other bath essentials for a “getaway” box… just a thought.

Here is what you need:

A mixing bowl, Olive Oil, Coconut Oil (or Grapeseed Oil), Container (this is a pint size jar), Roughly 1 1/4cup of Coarse Sea Salt (you can also use Sugar or Kosher Salt)
Directions:
1. Pour your Sea Salt into the mixing bowl
2. Add the Olive Oil roughly a little less than a cup
3. Add 2 scoops of Coconut Oil 
4. Mix – I prefer the small clumps of Coconut Oil, it just gives the mix some texture.
* You can also add Essential Oils for aroma along with their health benefits*
Finally pour the mixture into your container and…
You’re done! 
This is such a quick and easy gift that you can whip together with what you have at home. You can easily substitute and add your own twist to the mixture. I’ve seen scrubs with herbs, actual crushed peppermint, and a bunch of other things. Just make sure whoever you are making the scrub for doesn’t have sensitive skin. I like to keep it simple, because I tend to breakout in a rash (just FYI). I can’t wait to make a few more variations to give out for Valentine’s Day.

That’s it... that’s the caption and joke 😂 #humorwithkids
Follow Me... Through the gospels I see Jesus call Follow Me...

Through the gospels I see Jesus calling for people to follow him. Not to a program or an event - but the opportunity to watch him live life in Spirit and in Truth. Live in a way that brought each person closer to God not the creeds of religion. 

I remember the last few years of full time ministry for me how a mentor of mine challenged me to reevaluate how I was on boarding/leading people to Jesus. How was I teaching others to see Christ more than a method or strategy.

That work is different.

It’s also life giving. 

As I continue to read through the scriptures I’m reminded to clarify don’t follow me. JOIN me as I follow Christ and we’ll walk, grow, fail, and learn from Him together.

If we all saw each other as fellow students rather than how we believe our gifts elevate ourselves over one another. 

“The student is not above the teacher, but everyone who is fully trained will be like their teacher.” Luke‬ ‭6:40‬ #readwithme30

Some homeschool days we’re all killin it. Everyo Some homeschool days we’re all killin it. Everyone is excited, there’s cool ways of learning, and it’s a win all around!

[ad] In trying out ways to help with focus and changing up our routines. I’m seeing how techniques and even incorporating @maryruthorganics Focus & Attention for kids all natural supplements is a beneficial addition. 

We’ve been moving more towards organic and clean options from the inside out especially in our diet. I started off with their postpartum probiotics and now introducing this line for our kids 👌🏽
