Do you use body scrubs?

It's always a good idea to remove dead skin from our bodies so why not pamper yourself with soothing oils at the same time you scrub!

Mojito Body Scrub
Nothing says self-care like taking excellent care of your skin in a spa-like atmosphere. This combination of brightening and uplifting oils is the perfect treat for yourself.

Ingredients:

3 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon grapeseed oil
1 tablespoon jojoba oil
8 drops lime essential oil
4 drops peppermint essential oil

Directions:
1. In a small bowl, mix oils and sugar. 
2. In shower or bath, apply the sugar scrub in gentle circular motions. Rinse.

Storage: While this recipe is intended for a single, immediate use, you can multiply the amount and store for later use. In larger amounts, the scrub should be kept in a glass container in a dark, cool place.

Vanilla Almond Foot Scrub
Our feet are very sensitive and a bit of pampering will have us walking on the sunny side in no time. A good foot soak, scrub and massage seems to make your whole body happy.

Ingredients:

1/4 cup raw, virgin coconut oil
1/2 cup sweet almond oil
1/2 cup whole almonds
1 cup unrefined granulated sugar
1 teaspoon Vanilla oil

Directions:
1. Measure coconut and sweet almond oils into a glass measuring cup. Place cup in simmering hot water bath until coconut oil melts. Remove from hot water bath.
2. Meanwhile, measure almonds and pulse in a food processor or blender into a finely ground meal. 
3. Add almonds to melted oils. Add sugar and Vanilla Precious Essentials. Mix thoroughly and place in a pretty jar or tin.

To Use:
1. Soak feet in a basin of hot water until soft. 
2. Rinse feet, pat dry, apply 1 to 2 tablespoons of scrub and massage all over feet and toes. 
3. Rinse away almond and sugar granules, massage remaining oil, then wipe dry with paper towels.


Storage: Store in an airtight container in a cabinet, protected from heat. Good for up to one year.

Summer came and went!

For a couple days it was hot!  We had to run the Air Conditioner day and night.  But after the front and rains came through we're back to cooler temperatures.

Scotty is home and doing well.  Stairs are a bit of a problem but I think that's just because of the narrow door in their rig. He uses crutches and has been outside.  Each day he should get better!

Last night Jim and I went to the Concert in the Park in Fair Haven

The Spurs USA are out of Saratoga and we enjoyed the country music.  They opened with San Antonio Rose

We were told there were over 600 people attending and I believe it.  When we arrived the place was packed.  I guess everyone likes country music

This beautiful fountain is in the park

One of the many dogs that folks brought.  I did not win anything this week...and the 50-50 paid out $685!

We slept well under the duvet last night.  We both like cooler temperatures for sleeping.  I was up at 0600 and around 0645 the deer arrived..doe with two fawns
