April 16, 2019 at 7:48 amHi, how do you suggest printing the labels? I feel like regular computer paper would be too thin.
Thank you!

April 19, 2019 at 3:36 pmGood question, Kelsey. I use card stock like this: https://amzn.to/2UMTx0s.

December 23, 2018 at 11:44 amHi! The texture in the jars a day later is quite solid and firm. It’s not the consistency I was expecting. Is that the texture you expect?
Erin says
December 26, 2018 at 1:21 pmHi! So I use the solid coconut oil, so it does solidify a little when it cools. A couple things you can do.
I don’t know what your climate is like in winter, but the scrub will solidify in colder climates. It should soften a bit when you take it out and let it sit in your hands for a moment. Your body heat will soften the oil.
The other thing you can do is use a little more oil so the consistency is a bit more soft.
I hope these tips help!

November 20, 2018 at 5:31 pmSounds lovely!! Do you use the carrier oil kind or the other oil the solid?
Erin says
November 25, 2018 at 7:37 pmI like to use (non-fractionated) coconut oil and heat it slightly to get it soft enough to mix into the sugar.

October 4, 2018 at 9:55 amWhat was the size of the container you used so that I can do the math for several containers for party favors?
Erin says
October 4, 2018 at 10:03 amWhat lucky party goers, Brandi! My recipe makes just about a cup and a half, so plan accordingly. You could probably fill about two of these containers https://amzn.to/2DWZbFx with the recipe. Enjoy! Erin

February 7, 2018 at 10:03 amI would like to know how much Lavender Oil is used in the Lavender Mint Sugar scrub. It says how much of the Mint, but does not say on the Lavender.
Erin says
February 7, 2018 at 1:15 pmHi Arlene, good question! When I updated the recipe card for this DIY, it didn’t capture all the info! It does say it above, but I’ve updated the recipe to say it as well. 5 drops peppermint and 15 drops lavender. If you prefer one scent over another, you can adjust them accordingly.
