Yesterday, I mixed up a homemade body scrub.

Today, my skin feels like melted butter.

Win.

Yes I know. That’s not pretty. But don’t let it scare you.

Not only does my skin feel like melted butter, but it’s also glowing like I drank the fluorescent juice out of a glow stick. And I smell like Starbucks.

Triple Win.

I wasn’t compelled to look up a scrub recipe online and be all precise with my ingredients. I just started throwing things together until I had the consistency I wanted.

I used:

• Ground coffee (caffeinated – don’t use decaf)
• oatmeal (please don’t cook it first )
• brown sugar
• lots of olive oil
• about a tbsp. of milk

And dude, that’s it. Mix it all up and head to the shower. Scrub and rub, scrub and rub.  (I scrubbed and rubbed until I was red like a tomato.) Avoid the face. Rinse. (You have to rinse REALLY well, or you will find coffee grounds in the oddest places throughout the day. *ahem*)

I rubbed a little on my arm so you can see how it goes onto the skin….

DIY Body Scrub con: there are coffee grounds all in the bottom of my shower, but I’m totally willing to tolerate this for the sake of baby soft, glow stick, Starbucks skin. Yes.

*Please do not ever drink the fluorescent juice out of a glow stick.
