{ gift idea and a funny sign }

I though I would share a fun gift idea with you today. I made these as gifts for all the girls in my family this year for Christmas. Pictured below is a lemon sugar hand scrub. This scrub is AWESOME. It take the grime off, but leaves your hand SO SO smooth and soft. I used this scrub a lot during the holiday season when I was crafting. It took off spray paint and glue like a charm. Of course, I'm not digging in the dirt yet, but I think this will be an awesome thing to have on hand during gardening season.

Here's how to make Lemon Sugar Hand Scrub:
1 cup white sugar
1/2 cup olive oil
3 TBSP of lemon juice 
5-6 drops of lemon oil (optional)
Mix all ingredients well and store in a jar

One of the other gifts I made this Christmas was a brown sugar face scrub. This is a awesome natural way to exfoliate your face and leave your skin VERY soft. Here's the recipe for Brown Sugar Face Scrub:
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup olive oil
Mix the 2 ingredients together and store in a jar. 
I recommend keeping and using this in the shower, it gets a little messy.


And, now to the funny sign. This is a poster hanging out by my parents house, that makes me laugh every time I drive by it. I know it's not fun to loose a pet.....I'm not trying to make fun of this person......but I just can't help  wonder if this is for real and laugh.


Even with how sick my Dad is right now, he still has his sense of humor....He thinks we should write on the bottom of the poster "Tastes Like Chicken"
