DIY Mint Lime Body Scrub


After a week-long snow storm, winter still has its icy grip on us and the snow on the ground hasn’t completely melted yet.  It’ll be a while until we can see flowers and buds poking up through the earth again. Aahhh.. I’m already aching for the days when we can wear lighter clothes .. when we don’t have to be trapped beneath thick layers of clothes and boots so we can thump through the snow and sleet.

At the same time, I don’t need to let the cold weather wreak havoc on my entire psyche.

On days like these, a little TLC on my skin really works wonders for my mind, body and soul. Seriously. Not just my skin, (or body) literally. I just love making this easy, all-natural DIY body scrub to revitalize my skin from top to toes.. and make me feel good inside and out!
