Guest guest Posted October 2, 2002 Report Share Posted October 2, 2002 Jan ameretta would be nice or vanilla, peach, chocolate mocha, vanilla nut...even cinnamon would be nice I bet. almond? maybe? You may have to use a couple different oils to get the scent you want with it..but..I've used ameretta in soaps and yum...vanilla and ameretta is nice and not " lady " scented..My guys love it. Did you also find a recipe for it? and if so would you share? Pam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 2, 2002 Report Share Posted October 2, 2002 Yes I made a coffee body scrub for a massage party we did. The recipe I had said it was a cellulite buster. And I had a lot left over that I gave to a freind of mine for a food scrub, lasts forever---I made this the last of Feb and it was still good this week-end. He came for a visit and we used to have a product that you put foot mud on let it dry, then scrub your feet and finish off with a massage (rinsing after each step except the massage) Man I am telling you--you did not want to walk after that LOL. Anyway he and his wife (my best friend) were visiting this week-end and I had some coffee scrub and told him to use it and see how he liked it for his feet. I had some mud, and lotion so it is not what we originally had but it should work LOL. Waiting to hear from him. Glitz coffee scrubs > Okay. Either I missed something or have you guys ever heard of coffee body > polish!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 2, 2002 Report Share Posted October 2, 2002 ooooohhhh...that sounds too interesting! And SweetCakes has a Cinnamon Hazelnut Coffe FO too. I just love my cinnamon hazelnut coffee creamer. I don't see why it wouldn't work. It's just a crushed bean, and you could push it as a morning ritual kind of thing. A " start your day off... " kind of thing. I saw a soap the other day that supposidly had caffine added to it to jump start your day, why not start it out with a scrub?!?!!! ~^~^~Dawn~^~^~ The Liberty Hill Soap Haus Okay. Either I missed something or have you guys ever heard of coffee body polish!? Is that not the living end! I subscribe to Country Living and in their lastest find section I saw this wonderful looking jar of body polish that uses ground coffee. What do you think? Yes, my name is Jan and I'm a coffee addict. Do you think people would like this? It really sounded wonderful in the ad. I wonder what kind of scent you would put with that other than coffee bean. Is that a scent? I guess like they do the flavored coffees. I'm sorry I'm rambling. I'd like this wonderful list's input! _________________________________________________________________ Join the world’s largest e-mail service with MSN Hotmail. http://www.hotmail.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 2, 2002 Report Share Posted October 2, 2002 Pam, I'm drooling over those scents! Thanks for the tip. I have not found a receipe for it yet. I'm guessing it's the same as salt or sugar scrubs. The picture shows some and it looks feathery, not oily. It also looks like there's some brown sugar in there. Cat's the guru. She might have a receipe. If I find one, I'll surely share. Sweetly, Jan www.shabbytiques.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 2, 2002 Report Share Posted October 2, 2002 That sounds divine! I thinkI'll try that. Since coffe gets the smell out of things, I'm sure it's great on smelly feet. Sweetly, Jan www.shabbytiques.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 2, 2002 Report Share Posted October 2, 2002 I love that!!! I knew you gals would have some wonderful ideas. I adore cinnamon too. And what a great idea for a morning wake up. Thanks a bunch. Sweetly, Jan www.shabbytiques.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 2, 2002 Report Share Posted October 2, 2002 Hi Gayle, If you weren't buried up to your eyebrows in essays to grade, you'd know that there was no recipe! LOLOL!!! I'm watching the thread too, hoping to see a recipe! I just wonder about all those coffee grounds clogging up the pipes.

Guest guest Posted October 2, 2002 Report Share Posted October 2, 2002 <PRE>Jan, Did you go to their web site and it will tell you what they put in it for fragrance. Not the amounts, but you can guess on that. I made some up for myself and it makes your skin feel divine and leaves a nice shine, as it does a good job getting rid of the dead skin. I love it. It leaves little black specks in the shower, but very easy to rince away. Well worth it, if not to sell, than for yourself. Esther Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 2, 2002 Report Share Posted October 2, 2002 I agree with Glitz-----regular coffee-instant coffee--works fine in making coffee bath salts. French vanilla coffee,ameretto (sp?) coffee ~an flavor will do and come out real nice!!!!! Misty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 3, 2002 Report Share Posted October 3, 2002 Esther, what was your receipe? Did you put oils in it like regular body scrubs? I'll check out the site to see what kind of fragrance. Thanks, Sweetly, Jan www.shabbytiques.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 3, 2002 Report Share Posted October 3, 2002 Misty, I don't have a recipe for it yet. It was in the latest addition of Country Living Magazine. There's a picture of it in the magazine. I'm trying to guess what all goes in it. If I get a good recipe I'll certainly pass it on to you!

Guest guest Posted October 3, 2002 Report Share Posted October 3, 2002 <PRE> Jan, The ingredients are dead sea salts, ground arabica coffee, soybean oil, and peppermint. rosemary, orange, spearmint EO's. Vitamin E, methyparaben, propylparaben.{I didn't have these two items either. It also says rosemary extract, which I haven't bought any as yet. I used a half cup of oil and 1/4 cup of coffee grounds. Just added the EO's by drops until I liked the smell. Hope this helps. Let me know when you try it, what you think. I'm sure the recipe can be played arround with and come up with a good one.

Guest guest Posted December 24, 2002 Report Share Posted December 24, 2002 Merry Christmas everyone! Cat, your scrub sounds wonderfull! I don't drink coffee, but I sure love the smell of it. Your scrub would be perfect for me! Leanna in Alberta-where we will be having a " brown " Christmas! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 25, 2002 Report Share Posted December 25, 2002 hi I missed out on the subject of coffee scrubs~does anyone have recipes for this? TIA Misty http://community.webtv.net/mpw98/ForeverYoursATouch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 27, 2002 Report Share Posted December 27, 2002 Cat, just made your coffee scrub and used Vanilla and Hazelnut coffee. Don't have any of the f.o.s that would fit with this recipe. It smells wonderfull! I have 4 different scrubs going right now, trying to come up with one I really really like. In yours, I substitued the oils, using grapeseed, apricote kernal, and virgin coconut oil. I was hoping the VCO would help hold the scrub together. Plus I thought the aroma of coffee and coconut would be wonderfull. LOL! It is! Anyway, I think I need to use some heavier oils, and maybe use some salt in there too? Will have to see how it feels on the body, so far only my hands have used it! Such fun! Have a great day everyone. Leanna in Alberta.

Guest guest Posted December 28, 2002 Report Share Posted December 28, 2002 I saw your email. I am new to this group. Would you be willing to send me your coffee scrub recipie? How would you package it for sale? I'm starting my own candle/bath/body items to sell and this sounds like it would be neat.

I love the flaky, fine texture of Kosher salt. It has no additives, is very pure and cleansing. Just make sure you get the finely-milled, not the coarsely-milled. A five-pound box at the supermarket or Jewish grocery will run about $2-$2.5. Fabulous stuff. I use sea salts occasionally, but find the Kosher is less salty in flavor, and has a wonderful texture (talking about food here, not toiletries :-) Anya http://member.newsguy.com/~herblady © Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 28, 2002 Report Share Posted December 28, 2002 Kathy, here is a copy of Cat's Coffee Scrub. have fun playing with it! I doubled the recipe, but kept the coffee down to only 2 tbsps for the whole batch. I used it on my body last night and it felt fine. Wasn't too harsh, not too soft..
