    By Pia Bhattacharya, SELF Magazine

    Tis' the season for hot chocolate by the fire, snuggly sweaters and scrumptious desserts. Because we love our tasty treats, here's a quick recipe for a deliciously sweet sugar cookie body scrub. It'll leave you with smooth, polished,
    skin
    --and it smells good enough to eat!

    What you need:

    • 1 cup brown sugar
    • 1 cup white sugar
    • 1 cup vegetable oil
    • 2 1/2 tbsp. vanilla extract
    • 2 tbsp. nutmeg
    • 2 tbsp. cinnamon
    • 2 tbsp. ginger

    What to do:
    1. Mix together all of the ingredients in a bowl, except for the vegetable oil.
    2. Pour in the vegetable oil a little at a time, stirring the mixture as you go.
    3. When finished, the consistency should be thick and all ingredients should be completely mixed in. It should smell just like a sugar cookie!

    Whip up a few jars of this sweet-smelling scrub at once. Add bows and a label and you've got some great stocking-stuffers!
