Ginger Lemon Body Scrub

There's very little that makes me feel fresher and reinvigorated than fresh lemon. I've made this body scrub as a part of a gift basket several times, and it always gets a lot of rave comments.

Ingredients: 
1/2 cup organic sugar
1/4 cup olive oil
2 tsp freshly grated, peeled ginger
zest from one organic lemon

Combine all ingredients in a small bowl. Stir well. In the shower or bath, scrub your body lightly with the mixture and rinse well. This should keep in the refrigerator (if necessary) for up to a week. But I highly recommend you use it immediately.

Family Fingerprint Ornament

This is too cute an idea not to share.

Ingredients:
2 cups of flour
1 cup salt
water

Mix the dry ingredients with water carefully until it has the consistence of play dough. Flatten into a thin circle then press family members fingers into it. Bake in a preheated oven at 250°F for 2 hours. Cool overnight. Spray with metallic spray paint.
