[@notpartoftheplan]

I was randomly recommended this video, and you are funny, charming, and informative. Instant subscribe. I like diy and homesteading stuff anyway, but it's the personality that makes or breaks a channel.

[@LittleHillHomesteadGa]

Welcome to the club! So glad you found us

[@janetdarrah1222]

Congratulations on your 1 year anniversary for your channel. I love how you have a variety of content on here, also I'm excited about the Christmas cookies series. You and Shawn are so funny and I get up close to 6 am every morning just to watch your videos. You guys are like part of my family now. Congratulations again!! May God bless you always.

[@LittleHillHomesteadGa]

We appreciate you watching! Thanks for the sweet comment.

[@karriemb4184]

[@shellybogdan2293]

Congratulations on your one year anniversary. Awesome

[@anaoliveira8928]

I think I would eat those scrubs 😅😋😂😂😂😅💖 thanks Shaun for the help 💖💖 congratulations on the first 🥇 of many years years to come of your channel 😀💗😀💗

[@pamtippett1589]

So glad you persevered through the camera woes and completed this video. You did it with much more grace than I. I would have had to walk away for an hour and have a hissy fit! ALSO, I was thinking that with food-safe ingredients (extracts instead of oils, real lemon peel, etc.) some of these could be dual purpose - body scrub or finishing sugar! JK, kinda… Can you tell I recently watched the finishing sugar video? Love all the ideas you have and how it prompts more creative thoughts - and confidence! - to try new things. Happy channel-versary!

[@LittleHillHomesteadGa]

They are totally edible!!! Just saying you are correct.

[@userused3199]

Congrats on one year. Looking forward to sharing many more with you. Can't wait to put together the peppermint scent.

[@cherrysmith9467]

Allie I love your videos…..especially not a looonnng music filled intro every time‼️😉😉😉

[@jodi230]

I’m excited to make these! Thank you for sharing the recipes, and for all that you do on your channel. Here’s to many more anniversaries to come for your channel!

[@stefr9004]

Congratulations 🎊 on 1year anniversary!! Love love love your channel! Even my husband loves it. He loves your videos that Shawn is with you like your transit van is his fave! Lol 😂 u Crack me up...we say the $1.25 tree as well! Thank you for this video. I've never used sugar scrubs but I was actually looking for a good recipe for it on your channel yesterday. So I was so happy when I woke up and you had made one! I feel like yall are our friends too! Love your channel, thank you so much for all your tried and true creative recipes and how toos, love your relatable rants, we love yall and your channel ♥!! Happy 1st anniversary and many more! 🎉 ps. I keep meaning to tell you if you look on the spice aisle at Walmart they make an organic lemon zest In a tiny glass jar! I use it quite often when a recipe calls for lemon zest and I don't have a lemon. It's saved my butt numerous times! You should check it out! Thank you for all your hard work Ali!

[@janetrichardson2644]

Congrats guys. You remind me of one of my favorite neighbors who is full of energy and fun. Always love your videos and recipes.

[@LittleHillHomesteadGa]

Thank you! We appreciate the sweet comment.

[@abbyroberts4424]

I'm going to definitely make these for gifts. I enjoy your videos

[@sandrawagoner5645]

Another great idea Allie! Happy Anniversary guys! I’ve just found you within the last few months but have found more content that I use on your channel that any other. There are SO many things I don’t buy at the grocery store anymore because of things I’ve seen in your videos. I’ve even talked my husband into buying a dehydrator from watching you. Keep it coming, I’m here for it! ❤

[@southernmimi]

Congratulations on your 1 year KZbin anniversary. I enjoy sugar and coffee grounds with a little cocoa powder mixed in. The gingerbread scrub is going on my to-do list. 🙂

[@StarleneW]

Congrats y'all!!!! I love watching you and have made a lot of the cleaning and laundry items. Thank you for all that you do!!

Congratulations, I love this channel. I’ve learned so much and look forward to learning more. Besides being informative, your personalities crack me up.

[@LittleHillHomesteadGa]

Thank you, we appreciate the support!

[@GodFamilyandCoffee]

I dry my own ginger. Make sure you leave the skin on. I cut it into small pieces, and dry it slowly in my oven (I don't have a dehydrator) I ground it up and put it with pink sea salt for a seasoning, and I use it the way it is and make a lovely cup of tea for an upset tummy. I also put it in a jar with vodka and make a tincture for upset tummy. I do the salt mixture with my dried basil and also I dry my carrot tops and make a salt with that. Delicious on pork roast.

[@LittleHillHomesteadGa]

We use our carrot tops in place of parsley. We dried it an no one even notices it isn't dried parsley. I love the idea of ginger!

[@pamelalyddon5652]

Ye alreet , thats our greeting where I live in the North East of England 😊 I absolutely love your channel and feel so inspired by your enthusiasm. Thank you so much and have a Happy Christmas xx❤

[@LittleHillHomesteadGa]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@anaoliveira8928]

[@777djjones]

Congratulations on your 1 year Anniversary. Love you so much. Oh, and by the way I am from Azusa. I used to work at Avon in Pasadena

[@LittleHillHomesteadGa]

A to z in the USA. We both went to Citrus college. Small world.

[@777djjones]

@LittleHillHomesteadGa I also went to Citrus. I am a little bit older than you both. I am the old hippie from Azusa. I love all your products that you make. I believe I have made all your recipes. Love, love, love the naan bread and your sourdough bread recipe. You two keep up the good work. You are so inspiring. Love ya ❤️✌️✌️✌️✌️

[@ScentSational35]

If you have a diabetic friend or family member, substitute sea salt and epsom salt for the body scrub, you may need to add a few more drops of essential oils as salt steals scent. But this way, their feet stay healthy! Merry Christmas y'all from AZ and Happy Anniversary

[@LittleHillHomesteadGa]

Thank you so much for this amazing tip!

[@GodFamilyandCoffee]

Thank you for a year of amazing videos and laughs. Congratulations !!! Could I use olive oil as my oil for this recipe ??? Thank you again for everything.

[@LittleHillHomesteadGa]

Yes you can!

[@parislia6868]

Happy 1st Anniversary! Love your channel. Have you ever tried making the sugar scrub cubes? I’ve seen them on Pinterest but I’ve never tried them but wonder if you might have tried them before. Thanks for the gift ideas.

[@LittleHillHomesteadGa]

I bet you do them using coconut oil and maybe some beeswax. I’ll have to give them a try

[@parislia6868]

I think they use melt & pot soap with them but I would think you could do it without the soap.

[@cathiefarr9698]

Happy Anniversary!! I’m sooooo glad that I found you. It’s pretty windy your way today. We can see things flying around. Speaking of brown sugar, with the homemade version do we still need to use those stone things that we put in water to keep the sugar soft?

[@LittleHillHomesteadGa]

I don’t find I need those. It stays plenty moist without it in a mason jar. Thank you!!!

[@cathiefarr9698]

@ thank you Ally.

[@amyb8704]

My all time favorite sugar scrub scent is the Tahitian vanilla bean from Tree Hut. They replaced it with a different vanilla scent that doesn’t smell good to me at all. I haven’t found it in a store in over a year. I can still find the shave oil, just not the lotion or scrub. Maybe I’ll try using the shaving oil to make a scrub.

[@LittleHillHomesteadGa]

That is so frustrating when you find a scent you love and they discontinue it!

[@angeladepetris-phillippe4152]

Thank you, I love these ideas. Are your dyes natural ones? I was also thinking of using lemon, orange, and grapefruit zest instead of the eo's to make it more natural or without so much fragrance. Have you ever tried a sugar or salt scrub like that? I have shared your vids.

[@LittleHillHomesteadGa]

I have used zest, but they need to be stored in the fridge unless you use dried zest. If you use mica in the scrub or oxides it is more natural but can stain your skin.

[@karengaudiosi9390]

Allie these were great ideas thanks for sharing. I was wondering if you have ever made a milk bath bubble bath before. They are very hard to find here and if you do find one it’s like $30! Just was wondering 🤔

[@LittleHillHomesteadGa]

We have! If you use our salt soaks and add powdered milk to them you get a milk soak. It isn't exactly the same. I have one on my list to make that is a liquid but I need some supplies for it.

[@charlottewaddle2537]

Can you substitute salt for sugar... I do not like the sticky feeling that sugar gives you. Seems like I can never get it washed off enough.

[@LittleHillHomesteadGa]

You totally can! Sugar, salt, coffee grounds, brown sugar, crushed nut shells.

[@shirleywilhelm1495]

Just want to share information of a natural (Bodhi) Whipped soap Body Scrub volcanic ash 14oz . Goes on easily, washes off leaving skin soo smooth. Different sents on Amazon 14.99 exfoliates gently.

[@Lisa_Isom]

Hi all y'all 😂❤ I make sugar scrub every year for Christmas. I use it all year-round, myself, but! 😩 ..I have some information that bummed me the heck right out. I discovered that coconut oil (which is what I always make the scrub with) is comedogenic😭😭😭 which means: it clogs your pores! And I use it everyday for all kinds of things. So ..I no longer use it on my face and switched to castor oil instead. I hate to be the bearer of bad news. I'm still traumatized 😊❤

[@LittleHillHomesteadGa]

Yikes, that’s a bummer! I’m gonna have to do some research. I don’t use coconut all that much but prefer grapeseed or avocado. I never use it on my face because everything makes me break out. I’ll make sure to mention this in future videos .

[@jeanegard]

Can coffee grounds go down the drain in the shower?

[@LittleHillHomesteadGa]

In small amounts it should be okay. I do a few tablespoons for the full recipe and use sugar or salt as your main exfoliant.

[@teresaelder]

I can’t stand the smell of vanilla. What could be used instead?

[@LittleHillHomesteadGa]

Cardamom but go easy, lemon, just smell some and see what you like.

[@KatahadinKookingMamaHomestead]

Love this cant wait to make. Do you want to collab if you do message me on my about section I am into herbal items, love to cook, save money couponing and with shopping apps.

[@LittleHillHomesteadGa]

Thanks! We will keep that in mind. Maybe in the new year!

[@jeanegard]

Can coffee grounds go down the drain in the shower?

[@LittleHillHomesteadGa]

I would only do a little of the ground and still consider it salt as your base
