Favorite Brown Sugar Vanilla Body Scrub...With a Kick!

Favorite Brown Sugar Vanilla Body Scrub...With a Kick!

1/2 Cup Brown Sugar

1 Cup Fresh Coffee Grinds

1 Tablespoon Vanilla Essential Oil

1/4 Cup of Sweet Almond Oil.

Mix together all the above ingredients, then put into a glass container with a lid. You can find decorative jars at a craft store that are made for this kind of thing. If the scrub begins to dry, add a little more oil. Using a Loofah Scrub, rub all over body while in shower then rinse. This mixture will keep for a few weeks or even longer.

Because oil is a natural preservative, this will prevent the coffee from molding. I like to keep mine in the fridge to keep it fresh and bring it into the shower with me as I need it. It makes a great holiday gift to friends and family if you put a customized label. Better than those cellulite creams that you pay an arm and a leg for! The coffee grounds are excellent for circulation.

Enjoy!
