DIY Coffee Scrub


Cup of Joe Sugar Scrub

1/4 cup fresh coffee grounds

3 tablespoons white sugar

2 teaspoons unsweetened cocoa powder

1 tablespoon olive oil/or almond oil/or coconut oil

1 tablespoon water

(ALL RELATIVELY CHEAP STUFF EASILY FOUND IN THE KITCHEN! YAY!)



Simply mix all of these ingredients together in a mixing bowl, then add to jar. For a 20 oz. jar like mine, you have to make like 6 batches worth I wanna say? I can't recall for certain, but it still only put a dent in my can of coffee and my container of sugar. So this scrub certainly goes a long way. Not to mention, the application doesn't require much. 

I would recommend applying this coffee scrub while in the shower, as it is very messy. Scrub in circular motions all over your body, although I would suggest avoiding the genital area (for obvious reasons - ouch!). You can apply it to your face as well, but be a little more stringent with use if your face tends to be on the more oily side, naturally. Let the scrub sit on your skin for five minutes and then rinse off. Fair warning: you will be left incredibly, beautifully soft; you will not want to stop touching your body, haha! Also, you will smell lightly of coffee, which is pretty fantastic. Who doesn't love the smell of coffee?!

Can Never Have Enough...




These came today. Now we are 90% set with seeds. Planning on where to grow them, now. Cannot wait! I have a neat plan on doing the herb seeds this spring. I will share the idea as soon as it gets time to plant them.

Keeping warm...


 
This is actually keeping my small house warm! 
Even if you have a bigger house this would keep one room warm. 
 
 
 
 

Bought seeds early!


I remembered how it was last spring and how hard it was to find seeds! We were in lockdown and everyone was wanting to start gardens. So I am starting to get seeds earlier this year. I received my first order on Saturday! Cannot wait til I can work in the yard and garden, etc. Just want to be outside. Get your Garden Seeds now!
