Kitchen Pantry Body Scrub

Ingredients

¼ cup coffee grounds
1/8 cup light olive oil
½ tsp. vanilla extract
½ raw cane sugar

Preparation

Mix all ingredients with a fork. During your shower, apply the scrub all of over your body in a circular, massaging motion. Work the mixture deeply into your rough areas like elbows and heels. When finished, cleanse as usual.

Note: Because this mixture contains oil and should be applied during a shower, your floor could become very slippery. Be sure to use a mat to prevent slipping.
