Coffee body scrub
This is one of those easy, but very thoughtful and fun present ideas...without breaking the bank!
I've seen coffee scrubs in the shelves of supermakets, and they're at least $15-20!! You can make this one for less than $2 (and if you’re a coffee drinker this will include the cup of coffee you had to get the grounds ;-))
I love this recipe as it's so easy to make, and you can choose what fragrance to add in and make it truly personalised for the person you’re gifting it to.
My favourite blends are:
Chai: Nutmeg and Cinnamon essential oils, or Young Living’s Christmas Spirit oils blend
Detox: Grapefruit or any citrus combination of essential oils
Summer Stress Away: Young Living’s Stress Away oils blend with some added Orange
It's very similar to the sugar scrub I have on my website, but I've simply used some ground coffee which not only smells amazing, but is also great for your circulation and detoxing the body.
