Homemade Sugar Coffee Scrub

 

I love me some sugar scrub, but add some coffee grounds and it's heavenly.  One of the best ways to wake up in the morning!

Recipe:

1 Cup Sugar
1/4 Cup Coconut Oil
1/8 Cup Coffee Grounds

Running Water

It's something I don't often think about, but when it's gone....boy did I miss it!  I am so grateful we have fresh clean water that comes right to our house.

Here's what I missed being able to do while we were fixing a leak!

Drink clean cold tap water
Make tea & juice
Wash my hands
Flush the toilet
Take a shower
Wash laundry
Wash my face
Clean the bathrooms
Wash dishes (I know strange one to miss...but I ran out of clean dishes)

Homemade All-Purpose Cleaner

I use this cleaner for everything!  Shower, sink, kitchen counter to mirrors.

Mix in a spray bottle:
2 Cups White Vinegar
1/4 Cup Dish Soap

Homemade Deodorant

I LOVE this stuff and I smell better than ever before!  Never thought I would, but it is is better than anything in the store.

Mix until combined:

• 1/4 Cup Baking Soda
• 1/4 Cup Cornstarch
• 1/4 Cup Coconut Oil
• 2-6 drops of essential oil of choice

Tips:

• I put mixture into an old deodorant tube.
• For travel it's best to not use the tube because Coconut Oil melts at 72 degrees.
• It is easy to put too much on.  Be sure to rub into skin after applying.
• I allow it to dry some before I put a garment on (I have never had issues with staining, or grease spots on my clothes).

I Feel Rich When...

There are often times I feel 'rich' and these are some of the things that make me feel this way.

• When all the laundry is folded and put away on the same day as washing
• Cooking a double batch of food, one for the week and one for the freezer
• When the fridge is full of cut fresh fruit and veggies
• Clean bathrooms
• Wearing brand new socks
• When the bathroom is fully stocked (full lotions, soaps, TP, etc...)
• Everything has a place and is in it
• When coupons have cut the bill by half

Anyone else feel rich?
