I am a huge fan of coffee. I started drinking coffee when we were lucky enough to get our very first Keurig! Before receiving our first Keurig, my former spouse was the only one who drank coffee. I did have ice coffee or frappes! After getting our Keurig, I was able to try hot coffee and mix in flavored coffee creamer and sweetner! Since then, we tried a few other machines. Now that I am a single parent and proud homeowner, I finally have my own Keurig! We recently made a batch of coffee sugar scrub cubes and excited to share the recipe!
Since I enjoy coffee every morning, I like saving my used coffee grounds to use as a body scrub. I keep the scrub simple. I usually just put the coffee grounds in a glass jar or plastic container. Then I add a dollop of body wash in the palm of my hand and pour the coffee grounds in my palm and mix! From there, I massage all over my body! Even when I use the basic coffee scrub in the shower, my skin is left feeling soft and smooth! I love treating my skin to a coffee kick!
How do you pamper yourself? Do you take time for yourself? Even if it’s to read a book, go for a walk, get a facial, get your nails done, hair done, enjoy a nice bath, etc.

Are you ready to make Coffee Sugar Scrub Cubes? Of course, if you have different shaped molds, you can get creative and use what you have. If you want to get cheeky, you can use poop emoji molds. I found these Cute & Funny Poop Emoji Molds (these are about the size of a quarter) and the Poo Emoji Molds (these are about 2 inches wide).

Supplies:
- 1” x 1” cube of melt and pour soap base
