DIY Coffee Scrub – Gifts for Him

I commented to my husband this weekend that I had a “low-key” week ahead of me. My oldest son immediately said, “What do you mean, you have a “little kid” week?”

Ha! I do, in fact, have a little kid week planned. We have another load of snow falling around us as I type. But the kids have a stack of new books from the library (have you heard how awesome libraries are these days?) with some exciting possibilities for crafts and science experiments for us to enjoy.

Plus, my friend Wendy Paine Miller’s new novel The Delicate Nature of Love just downloaded on my Kindle app (it’s going to be a great snow-day read!). {amazon affiliate}

AND, I just got a bunch of essential oil supplies in to try some natural deodarants, lip balms and more concoctions! It’s going to be a fun low-key (and little kid!) week!

Whether you’re stuck in a snowstorm or enjoying balmy southern weather… Valentine’s Day is coming up this weekend. I never know what to get my hubby because he is so low-maintenance. For Christmas, I made all the guys in my family “Dirt Soap,” which could make a great Valentine’s gift idea for him.

Dirt Soap is really a DIY Coffee Scrub that’s a perfect replacement for your typical orangy pumice hand cleaner. Made with exfoliating coffee grounds, it’s great for getting dirt out! Plus, the caffeine is invigorating for skin! There’s the added benefits of moisturizing coconut oils and the cleansing effect of essential oils as well!

Here’s the quick and easy recipe to make your own Dirt Soap for your guy!
