Guess what? My sister’s having a baby! like, in a month. I’m actually pretty excited. We’ve got her shower coming up and so we made her favors the other day. I LOVE them. I’m sort of hoping she doesn’t have that many people show up, so I can keep some of the left-overs (Some, because of course the pregnant mommy should have her fair share).
- 16 c Epsom salt ( I’d change it to 12 cups and add 4 more cups of sugar)
- 3 c sugar
- 2 c quick oats (or oats run through the blender)
- 2 cups Dr Teal’s Body & Bath Oil with Olive Oil & Aloe Vera (looks like they’ve replaced it with coconut now.) You could just use regular olive oil, if you wanted, too.
- 4 cups coconut oil (I would probably add more for personal use, but this was more of a bath salt instead of a scrub)
- 1 tbs vanilla
- 10 drops rose oil (ours was cheap stuff, so this may vary)
- 8 drops lavender
Mix it all together and divide into favor-sized containers.
It smelled so good! And it was so pretty and sparkly. Perfect for a winter baby! This made about 22 cups of scrub. It ended up a really light scent, but that’s perfect for a baby-shower gift. For my personal use, I’d definitely cut back the salt and add more coconut oil. I’m more in favor of a scrub than just salts.
