DIY Pumpkin Body Scrub

I made you something you can eat AND put on your skin. By which I mean I made you something you will want to eat and it smells like you can eat it, but you should only put it on your skin. I'm super confusing, I know. But this stuff is super amazing! Using it is almost like taking a piece of pumpkin pie and having a food fight with yourself. Except it looks nothing like pumpkin pie and a food fight will leave you with a giant mess where as this scrub will leave you with glowing smooth skin. Soooo, if your wildest dream has always been to have a food fight, well here's your chance.....

To make your own pumpkin body scrub you will need:

1/4 cup coffee grounds (the fresher the better) 1/4 cup pumpkin puree 2 (heaping) tablespoons of brown sugar 2 (heaping) tablespoons of epsom salt 2 (heaping) teaspoons of coconut oil 1/2 teaspoon of powdered ginger 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon A pinch of nutmeg

*You may want to decrease or completely eliminate the spices if you have sensitive skin.

1. Place everything in a medium size bowl. Mix until well combined.

2. If you wish, make your own label. To make my label, I used scallop-edged scissors to cut a piece of paper from an old grocery bag.

3. Pour your scrub into the jar, then affix the label. Keep refrigerated and use within one week of making it.
