Sugar Can Reduce Your Stress!

Sugar is one of the most stress inducing foods that you can put in your mouth.  It sets you up on the cravings roller coaster and won't let you off the hook easily.  It truly throws your whole system off balance.

But now I've found a different reason to have sugar in the house.....One way I like to unwind is to take the time to treat myself to luxurious bath.  Using a home remedy like a sugar scrub adds an extra special treat to the soak. Making the scrubs at home is fun and inexpensive, too!  There are a lot of recipes to choose from, the Lavendar & Brown Sugar is my favorite.

 

Lavendar & Brown Sugar Scrub

Recipe for 8 oz jar:
1/2 cup light brown sugar
1/2 cup sugar in the raw (course for exfoliating!)
1/2 tsp vitamin E oil
1/4 cup olive oil (you could use almond oil as well)
5-6 drops of lavender essential oil.

All you have to do is mix it up in a big bowl and scoop it into the jars. Rub it all over to hydrate, exfoliate and soften your skin.
