Soothing

This beautiful tub is in The English Room of The Manor House in Norfolk, Connecticut, where I stayed a few years ago.  I've been making soaps and scrubs, so have been wishing for a lovely bath, so how about some of these.

Not to Eat...

In about 8 hours I'm going to be very happy: it's been like final exams all week with so much work, but it's wrapping up with a wedding tonight.  Then I'll be having a drink at one of my favorite tapas places and coming back to this Dewberry Sugar Scrub.  I just hope no one eats it before I get home!

This recipe from Martha Stewart calls for 2 cups sugar,

1 cup oil (I used grapeseed),

8 drops essential oil for scent and 1 drop of food coloring.

I used a little more sugar (around 1/3 cup more) and a lot more scent (a few times the amount called for), but it all came together.

So, I'm glad this will be waiting for me when the day is done. 
Happy Saturday!
