You can barely see it, but I assure you that I do have the sugar scrub on my lips in that photo. Basically, it's just sugar + a few drops of water [you don't want it overly blended, it should still be "scrabbly"]. I discovered that it's incredibly difficult to have something like this on my lips without licking it off. Luckily I don't have this trouble with lipstick...but...sugar is nice to taste. So, I had to try numerous times before I got it to stay on my lips for any amount of time. Ha. Once it had rested on my lips for a few minutes I took my extra-soft toothbrush and lightly scrubbed it off. I then applied a moisturizing lip balm product. Mmmmm. I don't think it plumped up my lips, but it did give them some natural colour and made them feel noticeably smoother [like, a lot - and I thought they were smooth already]. Also, the sugary taste remained for quite some time [which is a bonus if you plan on making out - trust me, boys do not like the flavour of your Lip Smackers - no matter how much you do - I love the Dr. Pepper one]. Yummy!

Earlier this year I used a sugar scrub on my feet. My recipe mixed sugar and hand lotion, which I think solved the problem of the sugar dissolving in water.
I had some scrub left over and used it on my face the next week. It was it bit too harsh there, though.
I used to use a store-bought sugar scrub all over - it made me feel pretty smooth. However, something with coffee grounds is the best - it reduces the appearance of cellulite.
Really?! I've never heard of the coffee grounds trick. I'm gonna have to give that a try!
Jen - I refuse to believe that you have any cellulite! You are super tiny! But yes - the coffee ground thing will reduce the appearance of cellulite [also good for your garden]...but make sure to use it in the shower as it's pretty messy!
Haha,. Thanks, Sydney. But, that's probably because most of my pictures are taken from the waist up, lol. I'm sneaky like that...
