How to make your own Body Scrub

A Mother’s Day spent at the spa is a gift that any woman would love to receive. Unfortunately, constraints on time and money might mean that professional massages and wraps just aren’t always an option for the special woman in your life.

However, if you can’t send her to the spa, bring the spa to her! This special DIY body scrub is a breeze to make, and will have her feeling as though she’s being pampered by the best.
