Good for your precious hard working mother's poor old hands
I found the scrub recipe at the link some where up there, but I modified it. It said to have extra virgin olive oil, but I didn't have any, but It didn't matter a whole lot to me, it all works pretty much the same. I also made the recipe smaller and added orange scent. PS. Sorry the picture is stupid. My computer does that.

Step 1
OK so add your sugar to a large bowl with the oil. Mix into, a grain paste. Thats what it is. So mix those together and add your desired amount of lemon extract, juice or essential oil. Mix that equally. If you want it any more yellow then it is now, add some food coloring like I did. Although food color will stain your hands, it will wash right off it you don't use much. I used 1 drop. OH DUH. Use soap color if you are worried about food color. Didn't think of that till now. Now add your orange essence if you want it. Orange squeeze, extract or essential oil will all do. I only added, maybe, 2 table spoons. You can add more if you use like real orange squeeze, cause that doesn't transfer as far. Mix that in with the rest. Now you are pretty much done. Try some out for your self if you like :) It should get rip of some dead skin cells. I don't know how long it holds, you will have to be the judge of that. I put it into my bottle using a knife carefully, scooping it up and sliding it in, if that helps you. If you where wondering it was also a Snapple bottle. I didn't have anything else! And at least it is pretty :) Any questions just ask :)
