this has been a terrible week for me, ending with an exame gone wrong on friday…

perhaps because it was friday the 13th?? )

I don’t know, what I know is that I have to restart again..

the studying, the research, the writing…..the exame! ))

sooo…what would be better than a home made body scrub to get rid of all

the sadness, the bitterness, the tireness???

actually this was my Christmas gift to some of my girl friends

…for the men…different grappas! )

I wish to thank my friend Valentina for this fantastic recipe!!!

it is made of all natural and good products, so if you want to taste …it is ok!

you need:

3 tbsp of grain bran
3 tbsp of maize flour
2 tbsp of marine salt
extra vergin olive oil.


just mix the dry ingredients and pour the oil, little at a time, to get a muddy consistence.
let rest for half a day (or over night if you wish) then….scrub!! ))

brigidaa_te:

you can of course, also use other vegetal oil.
if you use other oil that has no smell, you can add some drops of essential oils..
like lavander, sandalwood(santalum album), mint or orange f.ex

if you notice that the oil deposit on the surface, don’t worry it is normal, just mix and use.

the first time or two you will feel like having a drier skin,
but then it will become so smooth, you will have no need to use any other body creams or lotions.
I use in the face too(specially front-nose-chin), naturally…it dosen’t prevent wrinkles…
but leaves you face with a very clean sensation.

ps.
for my friend Astrid…
this is Ikea in her favorite place…

and this is Giulia in her favorite place..no flowers here!!

see you next week at..yasmeen’s
