Valentine’s Day is almost here, which means roses are in your most likely in your near future. If you don’t have a beau who is expected to deliver a dozen long stems to your doorstep, treat yourself to a bouquet.

Bonus points: have them delivered to your office (if Cher from Clueless did it, so can you), it’s bound to make your co-workers super envious of your sexy “secret” admirer. 

Regardless of who sent them, within a short time those pretty roses are going to start to wilt. Instead of tossing them, I highly suggest you give this super easy beauty DIY a go. It’s the perfect way to recycle your roses & get every little bit of wonderfulness out of them.

I’ve been on a major scrub kick lately, but so far this one is my fave. It left my skin feeling as soft as a babies booty & smells so lovely (like roses, derr.). Plus, scrubbing is always great for unwanted cellulite!

Be greedy & keep it for yourself or make it pre-Vday & gift to the lady in your life who is in need of some pampering. Hint hint: Mom’s love scrubs!

DIY Rose Sugar Scrub

» 1 1/2 cup white sugar

» 2 roses or approximately 15-20 rose petals

» 1/4 cup avocado oil

» 3 tablespoons pink himalayan sea salt

» jar for storage

» printable rose labels (made by yours truley!)

How to:

1. Pull off rose petals & measure out ingredient.

2. Combine all ingredients in a blender or food processor. Blend until fully mixed together, but don’t over mix. You want it to be a scrub, so the grainier the better!

3. I used a mini mason jar I had lying around to store my scrub, which ended up being perfect for this project. Once you print out the label, you can seperate the lid of the mason jar & put the paper in between, trim away any excess paper around the edges.
