Deodorize with Coffee Grounds
Coffee grounds will get rid of the onion, garlicky, or fishy smells that cooking leaves often behind on our hands: just rub a handful of used grounds all over your hands and then rinse with warm water.

Coffee Hair Glow Recipe
This recipe smells divine and it really works: you’ll have more lustrous hair after just one application. Make a strong brew (espresso if possible) and allow to cool until only warm, not hot. Apply the coffee to dry hair and allow to remain on for 20 minutes. Rinse with warm water.

 Simple Coffee Rinse

Brew 2-4 cups of espresso or strong coffee. Allow it to cool.  Use one of the following methods:

1. Pour coffee over your hair after you shampoo and condition.  Leave it in as you dry and style your hair.

2. Pour over dry hair.  Leave on thirty minutes and then shampoo out.

 3. Pour over your hair after you shampoo and condition.  Leave it in while you finish the rest of your shower.  Then gently rinse. 
 

4.  Shampoo your hair.  Pour coffee over your hair and wait 20 minutes.  Rinse the coffee out of your hair with beer or apple cider vinegar to seal in the color.  Then rinse your hair with lukewarm water.

 5. Shampoo your hair and rinse thoroughly and allow your hair to dry.  Apply the coffee with a spray bottle and gently comb through.  Allow coffee to remain in your hair for twenty minutes.  Rinse with lukewarm water.

NOTE:  You may also use black tea for chestnut highlights.  Brew 2 cups of tea using 6 to 8 tea bags.

Cellulite Buster
Those expensive cellulite creams have one ingredient in common: caffeine! You can make your own cellulite treatment with caffeinated coffee grounds that works beautifully. Here’s how: The used grounds work better if they’re warm.
1. Put some newspaper on the floor of your bathroom.
2. Mix about a quarter-cup of warm used coffee grounds with a tablespoon or so of olive oil. Stand on the paper and apply the coffee mixture to your cellulite areas using your hands or a loofah mitt. Don’t worry if a lot of the coffee mixture falls to the floor; enough will stick to your skin to do the trick.
3. Wrap the area in plastic wrap and allow to remain on for several minutes.
4. Remove wrap and brush off excess coffee mixture. Shower with warm water.
5. This procedure is most effective when repeated twice a week.

Exfoliating and Firming Perk-Up Facial
This will gently firm and tone your skin, minimizing pores and sloughing off dead skin so the fresh new skin underneath is revealed. Those with dry skin will want to follow the facial with a moisturizer.
Mix 1/4 cup used coffee grounds and one egg white, combining well. Massage gently onto face, then allow to dry. Rinse off with warm water
