DIY BUTT Cream...Say What?!! & At home spa night

Spring has sprung and it's time to get our butts in order literally

Once again our adventure begins with a PINTEREST pin that got Danielle and I excited to get our butts in gear for summer time :-)  Actually she was a brave soul who bared all, almost! I took the cheap way out and used our amazing concoction on my face.  COFFEE SCRUB (to view the original pin ) I would just like to say WOW. Two days later and my face still feels soft and moisturized.  Anyways here is how our "At home spa night went:"

After some much needed sun on Saturday when the temperatures started to cool down we (myself, Danielle and Arleigh) headed indoors to begin our spa night.  Arleigh jumped right in and began making our coffee scrub 
Ingredients needed:

1/4 ground coffee (not instant)
1/2 cup coconut oil 
Mix together until you get your desired consistency.

At this point a few beverages had been consumed so we allowed Arleigh to administer the great smelling paste.  As you can see in the picture below Arleigh is not very enthusiastic about helping out at this point! (Side note: Danielle is fully clothed :-P)
Make sure to rub the scrub in a circular motion.  This will help exfoliate the skin and help stimulate the circulation of blood flow to your problem areas such as cellulite or acne.  I will suggest it is best to hop in the shower after, unfortunately I made a mess of Danielle's bathroom trying to get it off my face!  All in all I give this DIY 4 **** (stars) only because of the clean up.  This scrub would make a great gift for a teacher or your Mom on Mother's Day.
So after we exfoliated we began to give ourselves a paraffin wax treatment on our hands.We used the Revlon Paraffin Bath and it was A-M-A-Z-I-N-G
I love the feeling and I know Arleigh had a blast peeing the wax off.  We were so happy with the turn out we even convinced the husbands to join in!! 
An at home spa night is a great way to spend a quiet evening.  Let me know if you have an DIY home spa recipes, I would love to give them a try!
