Brown Sugar & Vanilla Body Scrub

In an attempt to get back to the basics, and away from all the chemicals in the products we use, I began a search for personal care products that I could make for myself.  The following recipe is my adaptation of several recipes I found online.  It is also a great gift idea!

Brown Sugar Body Scrub

1 cup brown sugar (light or dark, your choice)
1/2 cup coconut oil
1 tablespoon honey
Vitamin E (cut open 2-3 Vitamin E liquid gel caps)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Mix all ingredients very well in a bowl. Place in containers.  It's that easy!  I found that melting the coconut oil makes it easier to mix. It will solidify as it cools, making it easier to use as a scrub.

This is good enough to eat! ...but I wouldn't try that.
