when life gives you lemons, make salt scrub!

I've been plotting to make this for three months, but I can't find the right jar to store it in (I know that's a crazy weird excuse, but I really care about have an obsession with jars)... It needs to look gorgeous and interesting. I got the store-bought version of this (just before I found the recipe, and just before I started the Epic Jar hunt), and the ingredients were generally the same; it was absolutely amazing!

Lemon Scrub

• 5 tablespoons sea salt
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 lemon

First mix the olive oil and sea salt together. Once the salt gets coated by the oil, the lemon won’t dissolve it. Next cut the lemon in half and squeeze over the salt + oil. Mix to your liking, then scrub away!

Quote love: "People aren’t problems to be fixed. People are people, for us to walk alongside and journey with and help pick up the pieces with and, when they drop them again, to get back down and help them pick them up again. And that’s real love - without condition and without expectation." -Brooke Fraser 

I'm the luckiest girl in the world. :)

See that seaweed? I almost died when I floated into that in the water. I know I probably have issues...Whenever seaweed got near me, I started screaming while frantically climbing up my boyfriend's shoulders.

Okay, I got over the seaweed thing after about thirty minutes. My friend floated by and she grabbed some and threw it at me. After yelling, "NO," I kinda had to throw some back. Why? Because we're in Texas and we don't have snowball fights, we have seaweed fights. Bwahaha.

When Justin dropped me off at the house that night, my parents were walking outside. I didn't know how burned and tanned I was until my parents were able to see it at 11:00 at night. I stepped out of the vehicle and Papa says, "Whoa. You're really tanned...you're practically glowing."  My face still feels...crunchy. All of us were burned, but it was a lot of fun, so it's perfectly okay. I'm already plotting to go back before the summer's over...
