They\u2019re quite easy to mix up at home, and the scent of this one reminds me of my spa day at sea on a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.carnival.com\/onboard\/cloud-9-spa?cid=So_CM_NA_P_AWG#14_1120&amp;DMP=5019,6120,7036,,8003\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Carnival Cruise<\/a>. The subtle hint of coconut and the comforting aroma of vanilla are quite heavenly.<\/p>\n<p>The reason I love sugar scrubs is that they\u2019re great at exfoliating while the little bit of oil moisturizes. I keep a little jar of this vanilla coconut sugar scrub right by my bathroom sink to use on my hands, elbows, and even my lips (it tastes yummy!). I would not recommend using this on your body as the coconut oil is a bit too heavy and might leave you feeling a bit greasy. But it is divine for using to smooth and soften your lips and hands.<\/p>\n<p>The recipe I have below makes a pretty big batch, so I\u2019ll typically store them in small mason jars to have has ready-made gifts. That way both you and your friends can enjoy a little spa time at home.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/awaywego.carnival.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/TB_Post4_IMG2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3677\" src=\"http:\/\/awaywego.carnival.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/TB_Post4_IMG2.jpg\" alt=\"TB_Post4_IMG2\" width=\"616\" height=\"411\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.carnival.com\/awaywego\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/TB_Post4_IMG2.jpg 616w, https:\/\/www.carnival.com\/awaywego\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/TB_Post4_IMG2-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 616px) 100vw, 616px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Vanilla Coconut Sugar Scrub<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>3 Cups Sugar<\/li>\n<li>1 Cup Coconut Oil<\/li>\n<li>2-3 Teaspoons Vanilla Extract<\/li>\n<li>6 4 ounce glass jars<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Coconut oil is typically solid at room temperature, so add the coconut oil to a microwave safe glass and heat in the microwave for 10-15 seconds.
