Annie,I was dumping the coffee grinds in our compost bucket and I thought, "wait a minute....in the spirit of re-use, what else could I do with this?" I've been seeing a lot of "sugar scrubs" around and rather than spend $8.00 for a bottle at Whole Foods I whipped up my own version. It's delightful and my skin feels much like it did after that $120 salt scrub I paid for at a swanky resort this spring.
MA's Coffee-Sugar-Grapefruit Scrub (aka compost scrub)
- 2 big spoonfuls of used coffee grounds
- 1.5 cups of sugar
- generous squeeze of grapefruit (leftovers from kids' breakfast)
- dollop of coconut oil
- splash of olive oil
- few drops of tangerine essential oil (if available)
- couple drops of vanilla
Feeling soft and smelling like a fancy cup of espresso,
Marianne
