Even with the chocolate-mint half dead and what was green covered in ice, I decided to go for it and make some chocolate-mint sugar scrub. Unfortunately I am pretty new to this body scrub making and did not take into account the rather strong scent of olive oil. And, like I often do, I dove into the process without doing any research. I used the green de-iced parts of the chocolate-mint, olive oil, shea butter and sugar (All organic). The chocolate mint smell was there, but the olive oil was just too fragrant. And, since I had picked pretty much all the green parts of the chocolate mint, I had to scent it up another way. I just happened to have some wonderful organic peppermint oil in my pantry. Mmm. Now it smells wonderful and I just want to dive in. Still need to think about other oils. My babysitter suggested grapeseed. I will definitely be making more in the spring. Yum!
I have to ask... Being male, what the heck do you use this for? I'm almost terrified of the answer.

Haha AV! I love your comment. It is used for exfoliation in the shower or bath. It helps exfoliate and moisturize at the same time. Like I said, I have never made it before. I guess I better truly test my product before gifting it.
