I watched Kirsties Homemade Christmas last night and am absolutely hooked on the idea of making Christmas presents.
I love receiving them, too my Secret Santa present this year was a gorgeous peppermint body scrub, made not in a plush laboratory, but in my friend Lauras bathroom. It was so good that I begged her to divulge the recipe so I could share it with you
To make your own peppermint body scrub, you will need:
2 handfuls of granulated sugar
Enough olive oil to ensure the sugar is moist
3-4 drops of peppermint oil
1 Preserving Jar (Lakeland sell six for £13.99)
Mix all the ingredients together and spoon into the jar. Yep, its that easy! Plus, the scrub really works my skin is soft and the peppermint smell really wakes me up during my morning shower.
This could be the perfect way to save money on presents this Christmas if you have any recipes or ideas for beauty gifts, please share them with us all in the comment box below...
