Getting Use Out of the "Daily Grind"

7/8/2016

I’ve been a coffee drinker for as long as I can remember. While I spend more time and money in coffee shops than I care to admit, I know that brewing coffee at home is always the cheaper option. But...I never realized that I could get even more bang for my buck by saving my used coffee grounds!

With its strong scent, rich color, and coarse texture, coffee can be a helpful tool for more than just giving you a caffeine kick! Coffee grounds are great as a meat rub or even for concealing scratches on wooden furniture, but their best quality is their ability to mask odors and exfoliate! Are the aromas of last night’s seafood leftovers taking over your refrigerator? Try leaving a bowl of dried coffee grounds in your fridge to get rid of the scent.

Better yet, make yourself feel and smell fresher with some coffee soap! Lathering on some of Tailored Touches’ smooth Turkish Mocha Natural Soap will perk you up just like your usual cup o' joe, and the natural ingredients will moisturize your skin.

Maybe you’ve used coffee grounds to scrub pots and pans before, but did you know that coffee grounds make an excellent natural exfoliator for your skin? Our handcrafted Coffee House Sugar Scrub is a lusciously aromatic solution for your skin.

Whether you take your coffee with heaps of sugar and a heavy pour of cream, or you prefer your java straight black, find a new use for those used coffee grounds! There’s no better comfort than a warm cup of coffee. Add some of that same comfort to your shower routine with one of our many natural coffee soaps and scrubs!
