The White Rabbit very generously made little portions of the coffee grindings she had collected from the cleaners at our office and gave us each a stash of it. I was supposed to go for a body massage today courtesy of both TWR and Apple-Cheeks but the spa was full so no appointment there and anyway, boredom beckoned and suggested I do something interesting.
Coffee Body Scrub:
4 tbsps coffee grindings
4 tbsps salt
2 tbsps of baby oil
1/4 cup of olive oil
Mix all of the ingredients in a bowl till you've made a paste-like mixture. Apply a good amount (one layer should suffice) to your arms and legs. Leave the scrub on your body for a good fifteen minutes. Take a nice hot bath to wash off the mixture with a neutral soap (I used my new Chumbak lavender soap - it's handmade). It feels really lovely, you know. My skin really did feel soft and smooth. I think it's great to store in a bottle and use once every week.
Variation: Use the coffee grindings, salt and a few drops of oil with a neutral body-wash (either Johnson & Johnson or Dove) - the effect should be the same. So yeah, if you're probably bored on a day like this, you should try it out. I should get back to Haroun & the Sea of Stories or my editor shall have my head on a plate! Adios.
