FUN SPA NIGHT WITH SHEILA VOSSOUGH AND BODY POLISH!

We made a FRAGRANT COFEE BODY POLISH to soften skin and stimulate circulation. Works wonders and smells amazing! Helps get rid of cellulite because caffein stimulates blood flow. Use this to get ready for bikini season. It leaves your body oh so silky and luscious.

Our story: I invited Sheila over for Beauty night. Tomorrow she is going to help in the gym since she is also fitness model and can help me in that department. I don't drink coffee so I didn't have coffee grinds, Luckily for me, Sheila is a bit of a coffee addict! She came over with fresh brewed coffee and the left over grinds. Our building has a spa so after making the polish we went into the steam/sauna to open up our pores and soften our skin. Then we came out and polished ourselves with the body scrub and put on face masks. I did a Dermalogica Intensive Moisture mask and Sheila did Origins Clear Improvements mask. We left it all on for ten mins and did what girls do when they drink coffee and have a spa night.. chatter! Then we went back into the sauna for another ten mins and did some deep breathing and soaked in the aromatherapy of the scrub. Ahhhh so relaxing. We showered and then admired our glorious skin.

RECIPE

1/2 cup ground coffee (if you drink coffee save your used grounds, they still contain the caffein and are softer than fresh ground coffee)

1/2 cup of scottish oats (you will have to grind) or raw sugar or sea salt or combination (I used oats and salt)

3 Tablespoons of virgin olive oil, virgin coconut oil,  almond oil, or sunflower oil or combination (I used olive and coconut)

2 Tablespoons honey

1 tsp vanilla

1 tsp cloves ground or whole ( if you use whole you'll have to grind them up)

6-8 drops of essential oil of rosemary or tee tree or lavender (I used rosemary it's very stimulating for the skin)

oil of 2 vitamin E capsules

You will need a coffee grinder, blender or vitamix if you are using any coarse ingredients suck as whole coffee beans, irish oats, or coarse rock salt to get them ground down. If you don't have a blender and just want to use a mixing bowl use fine ingredients already ground up.

You want to combine and grind all of these to form a polish. It's going to be somewhere between a paste and crumbly mixture. It will be on the dry side and thats okat because you will use it in the shower when your a bit wet and it will smooth on nicely. If your using a coffee grinder, grind the dry ingredients first and then transfer to a bowl and add liquids. If you are using a blender you can throw all the ingredients in at once and blend for a few mins. Make sure you have a container to store it in the fridge, it makes enough for about ten body rub downs. Use in the shower, turn off the water, rub on your body in a circular motion, leave on for ten mins if you can and rinse.
