My winter hands appreciate being treated to a decadent coconut oil sugar scrub occasionally, but the thrifty DIYer in me knew I could make it myself easily, so I experimented with a few simple ingredients and came up with a combination I loved enough to give as Christmas gifts last year!  You can’t beat this scrub for exfoliating and moisturizing dry skin, or as a thoughtful, handmade gift any time of year!  The only essential ingredients are sugar and coconut oil – the remaining ingredients are up to your imagination! My current favorite sugar scrub combination is lavenderbergamot and vanilla bean, but orange zest and clove oil is an amazing combo too!

The scrub is a great gift idea & I would definitely love to win the Brinsea warmer. Hubby is retired fireman & has told me about all the fires he has been to that were started by heat lamps, so I refuse to use them. I generally use just a 100W bulb in the brooders but the EcoGlow would be even safer than that & better for the chicks.
