As I mentioned in my Thanksgiving post, "porchscaping" is my new favorite thing, so our Christmas tour starts at the front door...    I sketched out the look I wanted beforehand and then I found almost everything I needed at my favorite go-to stores, loaded with lots of coupons and discounts in hand.

DIY Holiday Sugar Scrubs Make the Sweetest Gifts 0

I love making Christmas gifts and I love body scrubs, so this year I decided to combine my loves by making DIY holiday sugar scrubs to give away as gifts. Sugar scrubs are super easy to make; and, unlike salt scrubs, sugar scrubs are safe to use your on your entire body, including your face. After much contemplation (seriously, this was hard!), I decided make peppermint, cranberry and gingerbread flavors for my scrubs and gift them as a set. Each takes just minutes to make with just a few ingredients (no more than 4!) available at any grocery...
