Sea Salt Body Scrub

So first of all, I would like to apologise to you all for my lack of posts these last few weeks.

I’ve been incredibly busy with college, I’ve had deadline after deadline to meet, right up until the end of the block!  Alongside this, I’ve been working as much as I can in order to pay for my car which failed its mot at the beginning of this month. L

I’ve also been very poorly with kidney stones, and was out of action for the best part of a week and a half.  I’m feeling a lot better now, however I am still waiting to hear back that everything inside me is all good and working normally again – so here is hoping all comes back well.

I’ve also had a bit more of a social life: gigs, gym, cinema... which is always nice when usually my only sort of fun would be a night time trip to Tesco to buy crap!  (I know, I’m wild)

I have however not forgotten about my poor wee neglected blog, and I have been trying out various different bits and pieces to see what my skin is taking to.

So for now, it’s the body scrub.

The plan originally was to create some sort of sea salt scrub, which would be safe to use on my face and body.  I started with about two tea spoons of sea salt, which I tried to break down in a bowl.  This stuff is really tough and so I knew it was going to be a challenge right from the start.  When I had successfully managed to crush down only about a third of the salt in the bowl, I gave up and added about three tea spoons of coconut oil.  I mixed the two together until it became a sort of lump in the middle of the bowl, then I set it aside for about an hour to allow it to set.  Then, I took it with me to the shower for a test run.

…do not try this at home kids.

It stings. 

Especially after a cheeky shave of the legs. 

It goes without saying that I aborted the mission there and then. 

Although this is probably a very simple thing to create, this particular experience has put me off for now and I have decided that I am going to leave the sea salt body scrubs to the people who know what they are doing.

My next challenge is going to be a sugar based facial scrub – which I will be sure to share with you ASAP.

Until then, this is farewell my friends.
