DIY Soap Scrub

Here are two super easy sugar scrubs that I'm pretty sure I made up. Soap scuba exfoliate and clean really well. This will take you maybe 15 minutes total, super easy. They both have pretty much the same stuff in it just in different ratios.

No, I didn't make this one due to
issues with space on my computer
More soapy:
-2 tsp of pump-able soap {it's okay if it's normal hand soap if it has no scent}
-1/4 of sugar
-2-4 drops of essential oil {in flavor of your choosing for scent}
-1-5 drops soap coloring {must be soap coloring dye food dye will stain hands}

-1/2 tsp petroleum jelly or Vaseline
-Baby food jar {or other containers}

Mix soap and sugar in a bowl, you will want to focus on the thickness of this combo because that will be the base of the scrub. Add the oil,coloring and Vaseline and mix until color isn't splotchy. Use a spatula to move it into your container. This pretty much fills a baby food jar.
nope, not this one either.
The other one has the same things in it.

Less Soapy
-1/2 of sugar
-3 tsp pump-able soap
-2-4 drops of oil
-1-5 drops of coloring
-baby food jar

Mix soap and sugar in a bowl, it should be more stiff and sold then the other. Add the oil, and coloring mix until color isn't splotchy. Use a spatula to move it into your container.

Use these on your hands, feet or body, or give them as gifts. Like this? Love this? Hate this? Results? Please let me know in the comments!

Update!

So it turns out my computer doesn't have enough room on it for the picture on my camera and I tried to scan them but we are in this awkward stage between printers where the old ones not hooked up but the new one isn't yet.
