Homemade Vanilla Latte Sugar Scrub

Vanilla Latte Sugar Scrub Ingredients:
Sugar
Coffee Grounds (used)
Coconut Oil
3/4 oz Vanilla Essential Oil- (bath and body safe)

This sugar scrub smells great and leaves your skin noticeably softer just after one use.
Plus you get the extra benefits of the coffee that exfoliates, tightens skin, and is reportedly helpful on cellulite!
I dont have the exact amount of ingredients used, because I made a big batch for Christmas gifts, starting with a 5lb bag of sugar and just adding the coffee and oil until I was happy with the consistency.
