Andrew Sisters? Tommy Dorsey Band? Mel Torme? Frank Sinatra? All greats!!!<br /><br />Thank you so much! We are glad to be home, had a great time, but will be leaving again soon. :-( If this scrub had not been easy, it would have waited until I could see straight! :-) Hugs!!!Benitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02712521705008463049noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-758780567770747669.post-41148843143136497732015-06-20T21:09:08.096-05:002015-06-20T21:09:08.096-05:00Awww, Donna, I’m so sorry.

I was a very small child in the 60’s, so I don’t remember much, but did like the music from the movie Good Morning Vietnam, which used a lot of what I call “psychedelic music”, which is how I classify this song. I liked songs like Pleasant Valley Sunday, My Green Tambourine, 5 O’Clock World, Sunshine Superman, Turn, Turn, Turn, etc.<br /><br />I told Kim it was probably the “so tired you’re wired” bit for us. We were quite active for just coming off of a road trip at 2:00 in the morning…LOL. It’s a pretty simple recipe and I think you would like this one. And you are so welcome! :-)<br />Benitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02712521705008463049noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-758780567770747669.post-67276813611719136572015-06-20T20:56:43.343-05:002015-06-20T20:56:43.343-05:00The video was bizarre...it was the 60's versio...The video was bizarre...it was the 60's version of lip-syncing and pretending to play instruments. If you look closely, there are no plugs and such to the guitars or drums. They are just "going through the motions"...you can't hear the music play if there are no amps or speakers. Maybe this was from the Ed Sullivan show or something...LOL<br /><br />I believe we were suffering from "so tired you're wired". We came home, unpacked our suitcases, sorted dirty laundry, and I made this scrub. The scrub literally took less than 5 minutes and I really wanted to get a bath in my own shower before crawling into bed. The photos were edited...alot. Much more than I like to edit. I was bleary-eyed by the time I shot these few pics. We have been paying for the tiredness though...dragging around for the past few days.Benitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02712521705008463049noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-758780567770747669.post-38351993393780544922015-06-20T20:49:08.347-05:002015-06-20T20:49:08.347-05:00Thanks so much Amy!

As I can faintly remember through the haze of peppermints and incense and maybe something more, this was a favorite song of mine filled with the meaning of life. No, we did not wear shoes and yes, we thought we were very fashion forward! Second, you must be one energetic woman to come home from a grueling drive and make some sugar scrub. I love the stuff but have never tried to make it. Thanks for the fond sixties memories and the recipe.Donna Wilkeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12985036983888082763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-758780567770747669.post-33011462840793960892015-06-20T18:25:43.178-05:002015-06-20T18:25:43.178-05:00You owe me 3 minutes of my life back for watching ...You owe me 3 minutes of my life back for watching that and bleach for my ears and eyes :p<br /><br />The foot scrub sounds great!

Next, that was a loooong drive for one day. I would've been a pretzel and totally exhausted, because no one sleeps well in the car. Which brings me to number three...you made it AND took pictures. Really, really good pictures (which I know, is not a stretch for you, but still!!) I am so impressed.You are my DIY blog hero.

I am normally a homebody, but lately the hubby's business meetings pull us out of the house. Newport, RI and Boothbay Harbor, ME were my favorites and I could have stayed forever! I even scoped out houses in the area and tried to convince the hubster we really need an office up there...LOL. You are too funny....I was so tempted to take a bite but knew it would be so very sweet. I think you will enjoy it as a foot scrub because the peppermint is so invigorating. And you can add more drops of the peppermint oil. I took liberties and added a few extra. :-)Benitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02712521705008463049noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-758780567770747669.post-13964626379768505242015-06-19T16:05:03.480-05:002015-06-19T16:05:03.480-05:00You are quite welcome and I like to make things li...You are quite welcome and I like to make things like this as gifts also. Homemade and handmade gifts usually last the recipient a little while. I’ve always considered myself an honorary northerner because the weather up north is a lot more appealing to me. That was a huge transition from Connecticut to Texas! :-) Have a wonderful weekend!
