That scrub looks delicious, and I love geranium scent too.<br /><br />I add a drop or two of tea tree and peppermint oils to my sunscreen before I take my long weekend rides - helps keep the bugs away.<br /><br />Olympic cycling is such fun to watch - when the Olympics were held in Los Angeles in 1984, we were still living in SoCal. We camped out to watch the road races which were held not far from where we lived - no security back then! - and also got to see a bit of the team time trials as they were held on one of the freeways. (We stood on an overpass and watched the teams go whizzing by beneath.)<br /><br />Love your beachy photos!Mrs. Micawberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08680436275934263596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5402402600046694659.post-66731352897821946992012-08-04T01:24:17.371+01:002012-08-04T01:24:17.371+01:00Marvellous images, and the scrub is an added bonus...Marvellous images, and the scrub is an added bonus :D <br /><br />I'd love to live so close to the coast!

An easy way to make a scented cream is to add a few drops of your favourite scented oils into a biig pot of cheap aqueous cream. I often do this to make an otherwise neutral smelling lotion into something beautiful xoxPennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16660940774894144976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5402402600046694659.post-75708289906989480422012-08-03T07:52:09.804+01:002012-08-03T07:52:09.804+01:00Great photos!

I so hate winter.<br /><br />May I ask, where you got the geranium oil from? I LOVE that fragrance best of all the essential oils (my hand lotion is geranium and orange, and my shamppo and conditioner are geranium and lavender) and have long wanted to try and make some sort of homemade 'perfume' with it, and reading this has reminded me of that.Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14257653410136495378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5402402600046694659.post-77060219360427395632012-08-02T23:53:05.257+01:002012-08-02T23:53:05.257+01:00Love your photos of the coast.

Having that bit of time at the end of the day keeps everything in balance doesn't it.<br /><br />The sugar scrub is a great gift idea, I bet that'll really be enjoyed.*https://www.blogger.com/profile/10821840185143701654noreply@blogger.com
