Make your own funky feet sugar scrub, and have super soft happy feet

pretty-feet(1)

I had a container of foot salt scrub, after using it all up, instead of buying more, I decided to try making it myself. (and improving on it)

Do you or your man have the funky feet? Working out and working all in the same day sometimes leads to foot funk. The gym floor is loaded with foot fungus, I decided to add something to battle this.

My result? Easy, cheap and my feet and my DH are soft and good smelling. Suitable for a gift also.

sugar scrub

Items you need:

A container, plastic type is good, A Ball jar looks great also, especially if you are making this for a gift.

Ingredients

Tea tree oil, (you can add additional essential oils), sugar (I used white but you can use brown also), oil of your choice (Jojoba, olive, almond, sesame seed, peanut, even baby oil if you don’t object to adding mineral oil), and a couple of squirts of antibacterial soap.

Take your clean container, add the sugar (I like this better than salt), to about 3/4 inch from the top. Now add several pumps of antibacterial soap. I add about 10 drops of tea tree oil, you can add more if you have really funky feet. Now stir your sugar mix all up with a stick/spoon. After mixing well, pour in your choice of oil(s), to cover the mix. Mix this all up thoroughly. Yay! Now you are ready to pamper your feet, Scrub away and you will be amazed at how soft your feet are afterwards. Also all foot fungus be gone!

Tea tree oil-Tea tree oil has been scientifically investigated only recently. Some sources suggest beneficial medical properties when applied topically, including antiviral, antibacterial, antifungal, and antiseptic qualities It also has beneficial cosmetic properties. Read more here.

Sugar-Sugar is the perfect thing to use to exfoliate and repair dry skin. Not as rough as salt, sugar is a great exfoliate, if white sugar seems too harsh, try brown sugar, it is finer and gentle to your skin.There is also some evidence that sugar helps to heal skin.

Oils-You probably already have your favorite oil(s). I love almond oil and have read it is especially soothing to skin. Olive oil to Jojoba give one a try. Need some help?

Interested in making more scrubs? I found this how to from the TipJunkie filled full of Sugar scrub recipes!

Review of a Kick Spindles Or Mother Marion to spin

When I made the decision to buy a Kick spindle I could find very little info on it, anywhere. Below is what I gathered, bought and my experience with mine. I could only find two being marketed, since I purchased mine I have found a third. Below is my views on the Kick spindle I purchased (Little Meggie from Heavenly Handspinning), and some info on all of the other Kick Spindles that I could locate. Links and costs are included. Review: Things I like about my Kick Spindle. 1. Long spin time, I like the addition of the ball bearing. 2. Leaves both hands free to draft 3. It's my "wheel" 4. I like using my foot, I am moving around and don't get stiff from one position. It's a very "active" type, rhythmic motion. 5. You can actually stand and use it also. 6. Great price point. 7. I have never spun on a wheel and when I sat down at one the first time, I could actually spin (some) I think this action of foot/hand coordination helped. 8.

Aran Shrug, Bridesmaid Wrap, Baby Bunting Pattern free

Here is the start of my "Bridesmaid wrap" from " Wedding Knits " by Suss Cousins. I am making it out of heavier yarn, From Handpainted yarns I love the yarn it is so soft and the colors are beautiful. The wrap is made in mohair in the book. I plan on making it a shorter wrap, due to the heavier yarn. I hope it turns out OK . If you check out the book link, there is photo of it. If you want a free Bridesmaid wrap pattern this is a lovely one from Knitty! I made this baby bunting, on the spur of the moment, just playing around. I used one skein of red heart yarn, and a small amount of the fun fur yarn in a coordinating color. Cast on 80 stitches at 4 sts /inch. Knit in the round, until 24 inches long. If you would rather knit flat, knit even rows, purl odd rows. Add Fun fur yarn, or other novelty yarn for the last 10 rows. Bind off, using a very loose bind off. I like to use the Elizabeth Zimmerman method of the Sewn Bind off
