Put your hand in the air if you're completely done with Winter? Insert little purple shirted emoji girl here. I'm over Winter for a lot of reasons but mainly because I'm so dry! Everything about me is dry - I'm like a desert. My nails, my hair, my skin, annnd my poor lips.

I know I'm not alone in this battle so I thought I'd branch out today and dish on a little lip scrub combo that I use to bring life back to my lips and keep them moist and hydrated. It's super easy and consists of basically all things you have in your pantry cupboard.

Warning - try not to eat. It smells like delicious sweets!

You will need:

1 TBSP - Brown Sugar (clearly loosely packaged - you don't want the hard clumpies)

1 TSP - Honey (Organic Honey is best)

1 TSP - Coconut Oil

1/2 TSP - Cinnamon (seriously don't overdue the cinnamon - it will burn! That is not the point!)

1/2 TSP - Vanilla Extract

1 Small mixing cup

Mix all this magic together until you get an even consistency. I have found that trial has worked well for me when measuring the coconut oil. 1 TSP seems to be the perfect amount that won't leave you with a filmy feeling on your lips or skin around your mouth after. If you do run into that - just rinse with warm water and wipe away.

When you're done you'll have a concoction similar to this! (See below) I make more than I need each time so I can save it and use it in the future when I'm feeling like a raisin.
