DIY: Lemon Olive Oil Hand Scrub

I figured I would take a little break from posting pictures and share an easy DIY project with y'all. 

For those of you who didn't know, this week is Teacher Appreciation Week.  Yesterday I got a flower from a student, and today I got a bottle of wine.  (A+ for those kids!)  The administration also gave us a 10 minute break to go make our own Italian themed hand scrub.  It was a great, fun way to take a little breather and get a cool present too. 

The scrub was really easy to make!  Here is the recipe:

Lemon Olive Oil Hand Scrub
2 1/2 cups of sugar
1 cup olive oil
4 tablespoons lemon juice

Mix the three items together.  Store in a mason jar, or similar container. 

We used plain, white sugar, but you can also use brown sugar or raw sugar.  It separates a small amount as it settles, so you could decrease the amount of olive oil if you wanted, but I thought it was fine.  I thought this would make a great present by tying a little wooden scoop around the jar and adding a cute tag.  Also, I've already used it, and it makes your hand so soft.  So go, pamper yourself!  Or, make some and give it to your favorite teacher!
