Default great use for sugar-homemade sugar scrub
Here's a way to use up that bag of sugar we all have laying around the pantry.

Mix 1 bottle of glycerin(Walmart carries this) with 1/2 c olive oil. Stir in 1 c sugar. Add a few drops of scented oil, if desired. Use in the shower as a great exfoliate/moisturizer.

I've actually just used the sugar on its own without mixing it with anything and it works. I started doing it years ago, it would leave my skin so soft!

I actually buy a sugar scrub from this ebay seller - they put essential oils in it, and it smells divine! Who would have thought I'd be on LC and rubbing Sugar Cookie scented sugar on my feet?!?!?!?

Warning: do not use this product while mouth is open, or a 5 lb. weight gain may result upon exiting the shower.
