Enjoy Your DIY Sugar Scrub Girls Night In!

• Music & Ambiance: Create a relaxing atmosphere by playing your favorite spa-inspired playlist and lighting some scented candles.
• Refreshments: Serve light and refreshing snacks, like fruit platters, charcuterie boards, or sparkling water with citrus slices, to keep the pampering session going.
• Activities: Consider having everyone bring a favorite item in a certain price range and turn the night into a Favorite Things Party.

I always like to package up the leftover sugar scrub in cute jars and then send it home with my guests. These mason jars along with some nail polish and emery boards look cute, don’t they? It’s a fun little memento to remember a fabulous girls night!
