Okay, so I’m looking for affordable ways to keep myself beautified, right? And I’m Googling around for ‘natural’ exfoliates. And what do I find?

Coffee grounds! That’s right. When you’re done with your morning cup of java, don’t toss it, use it. The past couple of days I’ve been scooping out a spoonful of used coffee grounds and washing my face with it (mixing it with a little Cetaphil face wash!). My skin feels awesome! It sloughs off dead cells and supposedly helps regenerate the growth of new ones. The caffeine energizes your skin!

You can ALSO (and I haven’t tried this!) use it as a cellulite fighter by using it as a body scrub. I remember some celebrity saying she did this, can’t remember who. I foresee myself drinking much more coffee

Other things I found you can use your coffee grounds for…

Composting: Makes the ground richer & more acidic
Highlights: Adds subtle highlights for brunettes!

Seriously, Google for more ideas with used coffee grounds. So much fun!

And now back to my novella writing, which should already be in progress. I’m getting closer to finishing Command and Control, the second novella in my Holding out for a Hero series. Check out the blurb for Going Down which I just posted!
