Easy Homemade Sugar Scrub
Anyone remember those “Calgon, Take Me Away!” commercials? That’s how I have felt these last few weeks. Jorge and I have been so busy since the new year. There hasn’t been a break or a long weekend where we have really gotten away (or just stayed in) and had a nice staycation. Between his work travel, my travel and our jobs – it’s been crazy lately.
This weekend Jorge and I have an out of town wedding to go to along the Georgia coast. I just love receptions — open bars and dancing with my husband are the perfect recipe for a good time. I am also looking forward to checking out of reality for a few days…and of course, a Piña Colada.
My signature “I’m officially on Vacation” drink is a lovely Piña Colada. It can’t be one of those frozen machine ones, but a real delicious Piña Colada with an extra shot of rum. That fruity smell of coconut can instantly make me feel like I am on vacation.
So in preparation for our beach weekend get away, I have made one of my favorite sugar scrubs but with a coconut twist. Every time I hop in the shower the smell of coconut makes me swoon! But my favorite part of this sugar scrub is the super soft skin it leaves behind. With a little Vitamin E thrown in, this is the perfect get ready for summer sugar scrub!

Ingredients
- 1 cup coconut oil
- 2 cups turbinado sugar (sugar in the raw – the coarse flakes)
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 3 tablespoons vitamin e (optional)
Instructions
- Combine the two sugars in a bowl and mix to incorporate. Add coconut oil and vitamin e and stir to combine.
- Store in an airtight jar and stir before using (when needed – the oils will settle when not being used).
Notes
Makes 1 jar of scrub. The turbinado sugar makes a coarse scrub. If you would like a more gentle scrub, you can substitute all granulated sugar for the turbinado sugar.

Yes! It is actually softer than it looks and once you start stirring it will mix together perfectly!

We have enjoyed many a staycation. I love those Mason jars.
Where did you get your jars from?
The large jars are mason jars and the smaller one with the latch is from Target!
Well, it looks like I’ll be going directly from eating sugar to bathing in it. 🙂 This looks great & I’ve been wanting to make my own scrub for quite some time. Random side note: Have you ever heard of the blog Parenting: Illustrated with Crappy Pictures? She’s got this whole bit about a conversation with her son sparked over turbinado sugar, and ever since I saw it, I can’t see the word without giggling. 🙂 You should Google it if you need a laugh! Enjoy your getaway!
