Clobber Cellulite with Coffee Grounds

Women hate cellulite and go to great lengths to get rid of it. Skin creams work, but boy are they expensive! If you don't have the beauty budget of Paris Hilton or a runway model, try this frugal fix instead.

Warm about ½ cup of coffee grounds and 2 tsp. of water in the microwave for 30 seconds, and massage the warm coffee grounds onto thighs, buttocks or other problem places. Cover the area with plastic wrap. After 10 to 15 minutes, remove the wrap and rinse off the grounds.

Caffeine dehydrates cells and tightens skin, making those unsigthly bumps smooth out.

About Me

My photo
I am a freelance writer, Reiki master, and educator, with diplomas in teacher's aide and child psychology, and numerous writing courses. I home schooled my son, who was born 10 weeks early and was expected to have developmental and learning lags. In 6th grade, he took an 8th grade standardized achievement test, and scored as a college sophomore in math and English. It inspired me to write a book, which I have given away for free! It is called Make your Kid a Genius, and can be downloaded at my website http://www.irenehelenzundel.com I am passionate about alternative healing methods; especially Reiki, aromatherapy, acupressure, therapeutic massage and music and sound therapy.
