It happens to all of us: we forget to get someone a present!

Maybe you totally spaced it, or perhaps you have an unexpected guest from out of town and want them to feel special this holiday season. This recipe is an easy gift that you can make in less than 10 minutes…with the ingredients you already have in your own kitchen!

So grab a few of these items and get ready to make some magic.

What you’ll need:

  • Small mason jar

  • 3/4 cup Finely ground brown or white sugar

  • 1/2 cup Fractionated (liquid) coconut oil

  • 3 drops doTERRA Peppermint oil

  • 6 drops doTERRA Lavender oil

  • 6 drops doTERRA Wild Orange oil

How to make:

In a small bowl, combine your sugar and your fractionated coconut oil, stirring until your ingredients are thoroughly mixed. Then, add 3 drops each doTERRA Lavender and Wild Orange essential oils and 3 drops of Peppermint oil. Mix throughout!

You might be wondering…why these specific essential oils? Good question!

I like to create every sugar scrub with doTERRA Peppermint because Peppermint is invigorating. It can help create a tingling sensation in the skin and stimulate blood flow naturally. I like using Peppermint in a scrub especially when I’m using it to plump my lips or scrub away dry skin on my face. But it’s also fantastic on my legs whenever I’m worried about vericose veins!

Lavender is known for its calming, grounding emotional properties. The linalool in Lavender naturally relaxes the mind, telling the brain that everything is going to be okay! Because of its potent and effective chemical properties, Lavender is one of the most beloved essential oils ever and is commonly used in bath products!

Wild Orange is so good. It’s an aromatic mood-booster, uplifting our spirits and inspiring courage and generosity. I use Wild Orange when I need a boost of confidence and joy.

These 3 together create a well-rounded blend: Relaxing, invigorating and fruity.

If you don’t have essential oils yet, use coffee grounds and a pinch of cinnamon to give your sugar scrub an invigorating quality…and reach out to me for a care package of oils to try!
