Homemade Lemon Sugar Scrub

 Today I stumbled upon this website with a recipe for homemade lemon sugar scrub. Conveniently, I stumbled this site right after I had finished a jar of maraschino cherries and was wondering what to do with the jar. So, I decided to give it a go!

The recipe seemed simple enough:
-2.5c Sugar
-1c Olive Oil
-4T lemon juice

I was really disappointed with how it turned out. I could not smell the lemon at all and the mixture was much more thin than other sugar scrubs that I have used. In the end, I used all of the sugar I had trying to make it thicker, and all of the lemon juice trying to make it more "lemony"! I actually really like the end product. It doesn't smell the greatest, but it does make my hands feel wonderful (and I am excited to put it on my feet too).

I also decorated the jar to match our bathroom. It looks really cute sitting on the sink!

Next time I have a jar I am going to try to make a vanilla/brown sugar scrub to match our other bathroom!
