Why coffee?
Coffee grounds are a natural exfoliator. Exfoliation is the removal of dead, dry skin cells that collect on the outer surface of the skin. The coffee buffs these unwanted cells off and speeds up our own skins natural renewal process, producing healthy glowing skin. Save your morning coffee grounds and mix them into a gorgeous smelling, pampering body scrub, heres how, and why...........
Coffee Mask For All Skin Types
Mix 1 tbsp of coffee with 1 tbsp of honey. This is an excellent mask cum scrub as the coffee grains exfoliate skin while the honey provides moisture. Coffee has the added advantage of being rich in antioxidants. You can make this in a greater quantity and store in an airtight container in the fridge.
Baking at home with the kids is a great way to get them involved in cooking, and it's fun. After all, they're never happier than when they're making a mess! This cake was baked by my dear daughter Rebecca ofcourse with my help.
