My BFFs and I had a belated Christmas celebration last night, which means I can finally post about my favorite little gift that I gave out for the holidays. It was a facial scrub from an issue of Real Simple that Heather handed down to me. Truly simple and fun to make. It’s oatmeal, almond and baking soda all mixed together in a food processor. It would probably be nice with some lavender thrown in as well, but I don’t remember having the time to shop for it in December. As for the scrub’s efficacy: I found it to be a refreshing way to soothe dry winter skin.
