Thanks Dana!
New to sugar scrubs. I’m wondering if I can substitute pumpkin pie essential oil in place of the spices. Thanks.
I’ve never tried it so I’m not exactly sure but if you try it, please let me know how it turns out and I can add that as potential substitute.
Ha ha! My sister will be getting this as her gift. I gave her peppermint last year and she is asking for more.
Love her and your emails.
