Cowboy Foot Scrub

1. Melt/liquefy shea butter in microwave (intervals of 10 seconds), and be careful not to overheat or burn the shea butter. Melt on the stovetop (stay by the stove--you do not want the shea butter to burn or overheat, just warm enough to melt).

2. Cool slightly and add to lotion base stirring well.

3. After you have blended the shea butter and lotion base together pour just a little in a small bowl. Stir in the Sea salt and powdered milk. By doing this you will not have any lumps on the scrub. What you are looking for is a well-blended slightly gritty texture scrub.

4. Once you have stirred well, pour the remaining lotion base and the other ingredients and the other ingredients and stir well again. Funnel into a dispenser bottle

   Note: This recipe makes eight ounces.

5. A pair of boots can be purchased from a flea market ,yard sale or second hand store. Just give the boot a good cleaning and shine. Replace the inside sole of the boot with a new one. Fill one boot with a nail brush, file, soap and foot scrub.
