Coffee is a serious part of life. It wakes and warms us up, and it’s an excuse to get together with friends or to seek alone time to get things done.

Creating a coffee body scrub is one way to surround your mind, body, and soul with the good stuff. Equally as wonderful-smelling is Bergamot, a classy little essential oil that likes to relieve you of stress and soften your skin. That makes this scrub one part energy, one part calming…uh huh, honey.

      BERGAMOT COFFEE BODY SCRUB

      1/2 cup coffee grounds

      1/2 cup coconut oil

      7 drops Bergamot Essential Oil

      1/4 cup brown sugar

      How to use it

      1. Combine all of the ingredients in a bowl.
      2. Apply the scrub to your hands, feet, elbows, or other parts of your body that need a little extra love. Rub in a circular motion for five to 10 seconds.
      3. Rinse off.
      4. Keep an air-tight jar of it near the sink or in your shower for when your skin needs some relief or your cup of coffee wasn’t enough.
