DIY Body Scrub

Going to the spa has to  be one of my absolute favorite things in the world. It is probably one of the most expensive things as well. So sometimes the best thing to do is create a spa at home and these are really good to soften the skin.  I also think homemade body scrub makes an awesome, inexpensive, and not to mention an easy gift. We used them as prizes for the last baby shower I helped put together and they were very popular.
