Lavender Purrrrrrrrr Scrub: An Andrew Kenshin DIY

Welcome back readers! Sorry for the short hiatus, life gets cray-cray sometimes. But that's no excuse to ignore you all so I'm back with a FAB DIY project that is simply, heavenly.

Today's DIY incorporates the magical healing powers of grapeseed oil (said to help with stretch marks, broken blood vessels, and is high in antioxidants) with one of my all time fav fragrances: lavender.

I have a slight obsession with lavender. Love it in cosmetics, food, chocolate (ohhhhh yeah), and of course in its original beautiful state as a flower. Lavender is known for it's calming and healing properties, and I don't know about you but I could use as much calm in my life as possible!

This scrub leaves you sinfully smooth, fragrant, and glowing! So smooth you'll be purring whenever you touch your skin. And it'll be accompanied with a wonderful feeling of bliss on the side *I maaaaaaay be exaggerating slightly, but heck, this stuff is magic to me and I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!*

Lavender Purrrrrrrrr Scrub:

    What you'll need:
  • 2 cups sea salt
  • 1 1/4 cup grapeseed oil
  • 4 tablespoons dried lavender
  • 10-15 drops of lavender essential oil
  • Cute storage jar. (Mine is 22 oz and I found it on Amazon) 
 I bought all my ingredients (minus the jar) at Whole Foods (that place is like a playground).

*Do try and buy all your ingredients organic. Your skin is your largest organ and we absorb more than 50% of what we put on it! You don't want to be feeding your skin pesticides and unknown chemicals.*

    Directions:
  1. Add the salt and dried lavender to a large mixing bowl.
  2. Mix in the lavender essential oil.
  3. Add the oil and stir until fully incorporated. (Add more oil if your mixture is too dry, or add more salt if it is too oily)
  4. Adjust the amount of dried lavender and essential oil to your liking.
  5. Transfer your new wonderful scrub to your jar and enjoy!







 Make sure you moisturize after you scrub yourself to bliss! Stay tuned for my homemade lavender and rose revitalizing body lotion!
