I went to the Build Your Blog Conference this month and guess what? I actually WON something! I know, I was as shocked as you are now. Oh, you don’t know? I’ve NEVER won anything my whole life. So I was very excited! I won an awesome gift basket from the 4H Club with everything I needed to make a Brown Sugar Foot Scrub and a Citrus Salt Body Scrub. So my girls and I went to work putting them together. It was a lot of fun and our skin has never been softer!
The 4H club is a youth organization administered by the National Institute of Food and Agriculture of the United States Department of Agriculture, with the mission of “engaging youth to reach their fullest potential while advancing the field of youth development” Find out more about the 4H club in your area by visiting their web site.
