Thanks for sharing your Valentines DIY sugar scrub. Can I use vanilla extract (the one added to foods) instead of vanilla essential oil? Can I also use the sugar sprinkles used for cake decorations?
Chrystal Johnson says
Yes, both of those substitutions should work. You may need to increase the amount of vanilla extract to get the desired scent.
