If you’re like me, it’s physically impossible to start the day without coffee. If I go more than a few hours in the morning without a seriously caffeinated brew (preferably dark roast and with a splash of vanilla soy creamer) my head starts pounding. Robb and I always start the day with a fresh pot of coffee from our lovely (and speedy!) Bunn coffee maker, and finish dinner with some fresh French-pressed coffee (which is always thick and smooth, almost like desert).
So when I saw a post on Re-Nest about doing more with coffee grounds, I was all ears. Being the green-thumbed-gardener he is, Robb already uses grounds for the plants. But what else are those grounds good for once they bring us to life in the morning?
Apparently a facial mask. According to Kate over at A Nice Cuppa, a coffee facial is pretty easy. Just add one egg white to a 1/4 cup of used coffee grounds. Slather that mix on your face, then let it dry and wash it off. Follow it up with a moisturizer and you’re toned and buffed, baby. So I’m going to give it a try and see what happens. I’m a little nervous, but coffee and eggs don’t sound scary. In fact, it sounds like a lovely way to the start the day!
