Ho Ho! Merry Christmas!

Hu hu! Said my piggy bank.

Sounds familiar?

Oh Yeah!

But it doesn’t have to be like that with a little imagination and a quick trip to the kitchen.

This is the frugal village girl guide to giving gifts for any occasion.

We don’t have to spend so much just to show the people we love how much they mean to us. Or worse, we don’t have to fall in debt.

With these very easy steps, I was able to whip up a lavish body scrub and gave everyone close to me a self-made Christmas present which spelled nothing but sweet.

Check out this sugar and cinnamon body scrub recipe which is very easy to make and left my skin smelling good and looking healthy.

You’ll only need:

Ribbons (or you can play on how you want it to be wrapped.)

Instructions:

In a bowl, pour 4 cups of sugar, 1 cup of olive oil and one teaspoon of cinnamon.
Mix until you get your mixture preference. I like mine not so thick and not so oily.
Using a spoon, scoop some on your hands to try. This is perfect for your feet, face and actually, all over your body. Just wash with a warm water after and you’ll feel the difference. I personally use this twice a week especially on a long tiring day. Perfect for busy moms and women who need quick fix for skin that needs deep exfoliation. I can say that it is one of the things I look forward to especially after a long tiring day. I am addicted to it especially the sweet cinnamon smell. Soft and radiant skin is one of the best gifts we can give to our loved ones. This is not just loved by my girlfriends but their husbands and kids too and I had to make them some more jars.
Using a spoon, you can now transfer your body scrub to a sealed jar. This has a very long shelf life. I’d say six months but I accidentally left one jar somewhere I haven’t seen and I was still able to use it after nearly two years.

You can experiment with essential oils for different scents too.

I tried this with instant coffee and salt too and did the same wonders.

With ribbons and stickers, it is perfect for Christmas or any other occasion.

Please make sure to write the ingredients in one of the stickers or print them and then hang them as tags because we don’t know for sure if one has allergic reaction to any of the ingredients.
