PEPPERMINT FOOT SCRUB

For the stiletto addict on your list. Both salicylic acid (in the berries) and sugar exfoliate; oils soften; peppermint stimulates-like caffeine for feet!

- 4 strawberries

- 1/2 cup sugar

- 2 tbsp olive oil

- 2 tbsp vegetable oil

- 8 drops peppermint essential oil

- 1 decorative jar

Make this the night before gifting it-it's perishable after 2 weeks because of the fresh fruit. In a bowl, puree or bash berries, then add sugar and olive and vegetable oils. Mix until well blended. Add peppermint pol 2 drops at a time until scrub smells minty. Spoon into jar, then stash in the fridge. Write the expiration date on a card.
