Coconut Sugar Scrub with Printable Labels

I'm going to take a few words from the great Pioneer Woman, Ree Drummond, and tell you that if you are my mother, sister, mother-in-law, sister-in-law, best friend or one of my children's teachers stop reading this right now. 

Yes, I know that unlike the great Pioneer Woman, I'm risking telling half my readers in a day to go away.  

Well, it's for a good reason - you see today I'm sharing with you a super simple Coconut Sugar Scrub - so simple, inexpensive, and yet so lusciously wonderful that many of the above mentioned ladies may be getting a jar of it at Christmastime!

Coconut Sugar Scrub

Materials:
Organic Coconut Oil
Pure Cane Sugar
Sweet Orange Essential Oil
Half-Pint Canning Jars

Directions:

Start by measuring the coconut oil into a mixing bowl.  You'll want 1/2 cup of oil for each half pint jar.  This is my first experience with coconut oil. 

I splurged a bit and went to Trader Joe's for Organic Virgin Coconut Oil - it was about $6 for a 16-ounce jar, but I can make 4 half-pint jars of this lovely scrub with it.  Don't be alarmed when you take the cover off to find a semi-solid that resembles shortening (but smells oh-so-delicious!)  Microwave the coconut oil for 20-seconds at a time until it is liquid, then add 4 drops of Sweet Orange essential oil for each jar. 

Stir in 1 cup of sugar for each jar until the mixture resembles a paste.  Screw the lids on tight, and store in a cool, dry place.
