Today’s how to: home made peppermint sugar scrub (with a recipe!). The last sugar scrub we made together (let’s pretend we had a girl’s night – more fun for everyone) was a lovely lavender body scrub, perfect for relaxing and exfoliating at the same time. Today’s sugar scrub is the opposite of that. It’s a delicious (and I do mean delicious) home made peppermint sugar scrub, which feels so invigorating and refreshing in the warmer months . . . hello,…

Lavender bath salt: let’s make some! Guys, we’re all in need of a little relaxing spa time aren’t we? I am. For sure I am. If you ever want a spa buddy, I’m your girl.
