First off Merry Christmas to everyone! I have one last quick and easy gift for a hostess gift or party favor that every one will be sure to love. Here’s 4 flavors, but be inspired and use other citrus ingredients or flavor combos.

Peppermint Scrub:

1 cup sugar
olive oil, enough till it’s wet like sand
1 teaspoon peppermint oil or peppermint extract
few drops red food coloring if you want it more pink
sprinkle in a few chopped peppermints
