How to use coffee scrub cubes as a body scrub:

How to use coffee scrub cubes as a body scrub:
 
• Melt the coconut oil, let it cool, then add the coffee grounds. Melt 1/2 cup (52 g) of coconut oil for 10 to 15 seconds in the microwave, then let it cool to room temperature. Stir 1/2 cup (56 g) of coffee grounds into the oil. You can use either fresh or used coffee grounds, but they need to be dry.Don't add the coffee grounds while the oil is still hot, or they will dissolve!
Do not use any other type of oil for this, including fractionated coconut oil. You want the coconut oil to harden, and liquid oil won't do this.Be aware that coconut oil can clog drains. If this happens, simply run hot water down the drain to melt and clear the coconut oil.

• Transfer the scrub into a muffin tin with a spoon. You can use a mini muffin tin or a regular-sized muffin tin. Keep in mind that you will be using only a small amount of the scrub at 1 time, so smaller is better here!
There is enough scrub to fill up all of the compartments on 1 regular-sized muffin tin or 2 mini muffin tins.You will get about 12 large cubes from a large muffin tin, or 24 small cubes from 2 mini muffin tins.Silicone baking and ice cube molds are a great option, especially if you desire a cute shape!

• Leave the scrub in the freezer until it's frozen. Place the muffin tin(s) into the freezer, then leave them there until the scrub hardens. This should only take 5 to 15 minutes, but it may take longer.
The coffee grounds may separate from the coconut oil, which is fine.

• Transfer the scrub cubes into a freezer-safe container. A plastic Tupperware container or Ziploc bag would work great for this. This way, you will free up your muffin tin and will have more space in the freezer.

• Use 1 to 2 coffee scrub cubes at 1 time. When you are ready to use the scrub, take 1 to 2 cubes into the shower with you, then rub them over your body using smooth, circular motions. The heat from the shower and your skin should cause them to melt quickly. Rinse the scrub from your skin when you are done.Plan on using 1 large cube or 2 small cubes.Like other types of coffee scrubs, this scrub is harsh, so don't use it more than once or twice per week.

• Store the scrubs in the freezer when you are not using them. Not only will this help them keep their form, but it will also keep them dry. Even if you leave them in the fridge, you may get moisture into the coffee grounds, which can result in mold!The cubes can last several months in the freezer.

How to try a perfume

How to try a perfume: • Try a fragrance quiz. Sometimes, visiting the perfume counter can be overwhelming. To help you narrow down what you might like, try taking an online fragrance-finder quiz. That way, you'll have a place to start when you get to the store. You can find a fragrance quiz by doing a simple search, but many major perfume websites also have them. You can also test out samples that come in magazines or ask people you know what their scent is if you like it. • Skip applying fragrances before you go shopping. When you go to the store, you want a blank canvas, so to speak. Skip putting on any perfume that morning so it won't compete. Also, skip other items you use with strong scents, such as lotions and body washes. • Spray it on a card. The first step to testing a perfume is spraying it on a card. Smell it when you first spray it, but also try smelling it again in about 5 minutes, once it's had time to dry and settle. If you like it both times, you

How to make perfume for soft toys: Methods: • Place small or large bowl(s) onto a surface that you don't mind getting wet. Don't worry! If you do spill a bit of water, it's okay! You or your parents can dry it up using a towel or washcloth. • Fill the bowls up with clean water carefully to avoid a wet mess. • Find four or more of any kind of flowers to make your scent with. Make sure that they don't have any dry brown spots, and that they don't have any bugs or bug eggs on them. • Put the flowers into the bowl(s) and gently stir them around using a spoon. Be careful not to damage the flowers, as you do not want any tiny pieces of flowers stuck inside of your perfume bottle - they can clog the nozzle. • Look into the water to see if the flower water may be turning a color that is the color of the flowers inside of it.
