So Im feeling home sick.

Seriously.

The weather is cooling down especially in the evenings and early mornings. I love it, but it makes me long for my beloved Colorado.

Don’t get me wrong I love my little apartment here in the good ol’ Inner West but my heart belongs to Colorado.

This weather reminds me of winters spent walking downtown in the crisp cool air, with a holiday spiced, double shot latte in its adorable seasonal red cup in hand. Oh how I miss it.

I love how certain smells, and foods for that matter and magically transport us to another time and place. That is exactly what happened to me when I stumbled upon this recipe while looking through this incredible book, Simple Scrubs to Make and Give that I picked up as a part of this ah-mazing sale!

All of my favourite things rolled into one delicious and decadent body scrub. Simple ingredients, things I am sure you would have on hand and just a few minutes and you have yourself a serious treat. It will leave your skin feeling soft, and seriously pampered not to mention smelling incredible. Simple to whip up either as an inexpensive, indulgent treat for yourself of for someone you love (FYI mothers day is just around the corner . . . #justsayin’)

This scrub has a lovely, warm scent that is reminiscent of the holiday season. Seriously, close your eyes, take a deep breath and you’ll think its christmas. It smells so good you’ll want to drink it up!

Although I may have spent $29.97 on this book bundle, I can assure you that the happiness this one simple recipe has brought into my day is absolutely priceless. Not only did it cost mere pennies to make, I can honestly say this sugar scrub is better, in so many ways, than any store bought kind I have come across. Plus, in buying this bundle I not only get this incredible scrub recipe but 97 other ah-mazing books, online courses not to mention a stack of freebies. Not to mention the money I will save on making gifts for people . . . I mean who doesn’t love decadent, indulgent, rustic homemade gifts? Exactly, it’s money in the bank here people!
