DIY Coffee Scrub

Just another manic Monday at the Aviles house. Maybe it was the busy weekend or my growing toddler. Short naps and constant eating anyone??? Here's a little dose of energy for the rest of the week.

My love of coffee is SERIOUS. The coffee cups we own are basically the size of a bowl. I refuse to buy anything that brew less than 12 cups at a time. I like to keep coffee extras stocked for company the way most people would stock a bar. I painted our old cabinet with this adorable phrase that said "All I need is coffee and Jesus" okay...the more I am typing the more I see how serious this love is.

Last year we started a compost bin, but this is, by far, my favorite way to reuse my grinds. The recipe is simple and can be easily doubled.



Ingredients:
1/2 cup of ground coffee
1/2 cup raw sugar
1/4 cup coconut oil
Splash of vanilla extract *optional*

Step One:
Mix coffee and sugar in a bowl.

Step Two:
Add coconut oil to the bowl and stir. This will moisturize
and adds a subtle delicious smell.

Step Three:
If you want, mix in the vanilla extract. This will have it smelling like a delicious French Vanilla iced coffee.

Step Four:
Store in an airtight container, such as a jar. I recommend using it within a month, but it will last up to six months.
