Almond Sugar Body Scrub and Wednesday's Adorned From Above Link Party 21


Read all the way through to get the directions for The Directions to make Almond Sugar Body Scrub.


Welcome to my Wednesdays Adorned from Above Link Party 21.   I hope that all of you have fun, and I can't wait to see all of your beautiful work from the last week.  You are all truly amazing.  
I would love for you to follow me on GFC, Pinterest, Twitter, or Google +.

I feature the top 3 most view links each week

To those of you that I featured just grab my Wednesdays Adorned From Above Featured Button in my sidebar, or you can post a text link.



I want to thank everyone who linked with my Wednesdays Adorned From Above Link Party 20.  All of your projects are wonderful and I would feature all of them if I could, but I think that the blog would probably be a little too long.  I hope that all of you link more posts this week.  

Let's Party!!!

Your posts can include anything, I love to see everything that you have been up to.

The only rules are to follow me, have a link somewhere on your post to Adorned From Above, and visit some other posts - after all it is a party.
I love the sweet smell of almonds,  especially, Almond Soap.  So this week I decided to make an Almond Sugar Body Scrub.  I was sitting on a plane thinking about how dry my skin gets in the winter, and that a new scrub sounded good, and decided that I would try making a scrub with almonds, almond oil, honey, and brown sugar.
 
I love using brown sugar in scrubs, because it melts into my skin.  It is not quite as rough on my skin as white sugar or moscabado sugar.  Since I love the smell of almonds I thought that I would roughly chop them in the food processor.  Almonds will also make a great exfolliant.   Next, I decided to use a little honey in this scrub because it is a natural humectant.  This means it will help add moisture into my skin.  I need all the help that I can get in the  moisture department.  I also decided that I would use almond oil in this recipe rather then coconut oil.  I just love the lingering scent of almonds, and these ingredients meet all of the criteria for a great scrub.  Not only will it exfoliate, but it will moisturize, which is what I need in the cold, dry Colorado winters.

So here is a recipe for a great and delicious smelling Almond and Brown Sugar Body Scrub.


Almond Brown Sugar Body Scrub
Ingredients:


1/4 cup almonds (ground in a food processor or blender, be careful not to grind to much or you will end up with almond butter)

3/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup raw unfiltered honey
1/4 cup almond oil


Directions:



Mix all together in a bowl and store in a sterilized jar.  I use wide mouth mason jars for my scrubs.  It is easy to get them out of the jar that way. 

I hope that you like this Almond Brown Sugar Body Scrub.  Let me know what you think.  I always love hearing from you.


Enjoy!!!

    Thanks for hosting, Debi! The scrub looks real good, I need to get rid of some Winter "dry skin", but moisturize as well.

      Thanks so much for linking every week. It worked really well. Dry skin is gone, and I love the feel of the oil. Not too heavy.
