I am on Instagram a lot.  Everywhere you look there’s advertising for one product or another.  Two of the most popular these days are the slimming tea and coffee scrub.

I’m not big on the whole “drink this tea, you will shed pounds” kinda thing but who doesn’t love a good scrub?!  I had a wonderful one years ago from Avon but have never seen it since and really miss the softness of my skin after using it.

So while on Pinterest (I’m on there lots too) I see a home made coffee scrub recipe and figured ~hey, I bet this is similar to those pricey mail order ones on Instagram, let’s give it a go.

Mixing together ~ 1cup used coffee grounds ~1TBSP honey  ~1TBSP olive oil.

I put it in a container to use in the shower.  Wowzers!! Man was this stuff ever good!!!!  You do need to give yourself just a little extra time to rinse off however as you literally get coffee everywhere.  The only draw back I would say is that 1) if your shower is a lighter color, it does give a little tinge to the floor and 2) it is only good for maybe two showers as the coffee grounds will go moldy if left in a sealed container.

Of course the best part  of the whole thing was I didn’t need to order it and it only cost me pennies to make.
