-Just read that the opera singer Andrea Bocelli’s wife just had a baby girl.  Hmmmmm reminds me I’ve never revealed my #1 most embarrassing moment in my entire life.  And how cool am I?  My embarrassing moment involves the world famous Andrea Bocelli!  Hahahaha!  It’s a long one so I might break it down into a few posts….maybe a video…. It’s gonna take me some time to work up the guts to admit this one.  Figured I’d post about it so I have to follow through even if I change my mind tomorrow!!!

-Have any great ideas for citrus?  My mom has a bunch of lemon, orange and grapefruit trees.  I take home trash bags full to eat, make juice, slice up in water and leave in every room to make the house smell yummy.  Searching today for neat recipes and projects involving citrus.  If we have an endless amount might as well find cool uses for it….right?

Today I’m going to try:

Lemon Sugar Scrub

I’m going to experiment to find a good mixture of lemon juice, sugar, olive oil and coconut oil.  Hoping that the coconut oil, if used sparingly, will not solidify but add a sweet smell to the mix.  I’ll let you know how it goes……

UPDATE-

I mixed 1 cup olive oil with 1 1/2 cups sugar.  But even with the juice from 2 huge lemons it still only smells like olive oil.  It still is an amazing hand scrub for next to the kitchen sink and it doesn’t leave you smelling like olives…I’d just like it to leave behind a nice scent as well:)  Gonna try a different oil next time…..  I’m sure if you used essential oils it would work but I’m still trying to figure out a use for these lemons:)
