I've seen many enticing body scrubs at Sephora but I've never been tempted to buy them because they are so expensive, so when I saw this I thought it was a great idea.
Here is the original Pin:
It was very easy to make. You just mix up the 5 ingredients in a bowl. I used pumpkin spice coffee, brown sugar, grape seed oil and instead of peppermint extract, I used almond extract. I think it would be fine without any extra extract, but it wouldn't be as fragrant. The original Pin suggests using it on your face, but it seems much too abrasive for that. I've read that coffee is supposed to be great for firming skin. I'll let you know...
Overall, I thought this was pretty good. I don't often use scrubs, mostly because they are so expensive. I think having this readily available might encourage me to exfoliate more, which is great, especially in the winter.
Cost: Nothing compared to buying it in the store. I used all ingredients I already had at the house.
Time: Next to none.
Difficulty: See above.
Aesthetic Appeal. It looks a little like dirt, but it really does smell divine.
Life Enhancement: If it helps me (cheaply) get through the winter without dry, flaky skin, it will enhance my life greatly.
