So what do you get the man who wishes or wants for nothing? All M's Grandad (and my adopted!) asked for his 85th birthday was his family surrounding him. That's lovely. But slightly unsatisfying - I LOVE giving presents and it feels really weird to arrive somewhere to celebrate a birthday without even so much as a card?! Crazy. So after a lot of thinking, we finally came to the conclusion that as Don loves all things natural, home made and useful, we'd make him a delicious scrub for when he's been gardening or working in his wood turning shed or .. whatever.
And this is how we did it.
Ingredients:
Fresh Rosemary
Almond Oil
Olive Oil
Lemon essential Oil
Lemongrass essential oil
Rosemary essential oil
Brown Sugar
Mix the almond and olive oils together and add the sugar to create a paste. Use more olive than almond oil. Chop the fresh rosemary into attractive but sensible sizes - you want it to blend together in the end. Add the essential oils to your own preference, careful if you're making it for someone with sensitive skin.
Sorry not to give exact measurements but it's mostly about balance and how much you want to make... it's so yummy though - and both M and I tried it out by scrubbing our muddy hands, leaving clean, soft skin! Give it a go.
