Paper Heart Garland/Chandelier
Treat someone to a homemade strawberry scrub that’ll soften their skin.
What You’ll Need:
– ¾ cup coconut oil
– ¼ cup sweet almond oil
– ½ cup powdered strawberries (about 1½ cups freeze dried strawberries, ground)
– 2 cups granulated sugar
If you’d like, include 4 tsp strawberry extract.
- Use a stand mixer to whip the coconut oil for a good 5 minutes.
- Add in the sweet almond oil and beat.
- Grind freeze dried strawberries so that you have ½ cup power.
- Whisk and sift the granulated sugar and powdered strawberries in a separate bowl.
- Carefully stir half of the sugar mixture into the coconut oil mixture. Then, add in the second half. For that little extra something, mix in some strawberry extract!
