It felt like every time I went on Pinterest in the last little while there was a link to a coffee scrub. Since my feet were looking the worst for ware, I thought I would give it a try. Except rather than using new coffee, which most of the links seemed to use, I just used the grounds that I used to make my coffee in the morning!

Coffee

I started with this recipe from the little dutch wife, but made some small changes based on what we had in the kitchen. Which included only olive oil. While we have cinnamon and nutmeg, I wasn't really sold on putting them in, although I'm sure they'd add a lovely scent!

Olive oil and coffee scrub

 I mixed enough olive oil in the coffee grounds to make a paste, and brought it with me to the shower. I did a good scrubbing on my feet, and then rinsed everything really well.  My feet and hands were a little bit yellowy brown after putting the scrub on, but it came off easily with a bit of soap and water.

When I get home, I'd love to do something like this as described in the recipe with coconut oil!
