Cawfee scrub

This took me about 2 minutes to make, I had everything I needed on hand and you probably do too. 

I got a pedicure yesterday with my sister for her birthday and we both got a sugar scrub pedi. Best decision I made all day. With our legs slathered in a sugary and oily concoction, we looked at each other and I knew I had to recreate this at home. 

This is a method, I didn't measure ANYTHING! Just add things until the consistency is what you want it to be.

Ingredients:

Coconut Oil

Coffee Grounds 

Epsom Salt

Sugar

Method:

I took the jar of coconut oil I had under my bathroom sink, it was about 1/3 full. I threw it in the microwave for 30 seconds.

I poured the melted coconut goodness into a bowl and emptied my grounds from the coffee I made this morning into the mix. 

I mixed in approx equal amounts of Epsom salt and sugar until it looked like everything was coated in oil (refer to image below)

I poured everything back into the jar and stored in the shower.

Here's a breakdown of why I used the ingredients I used:

Coconut oil: moisturizer (DUH), antibacterial

Epsom salt: helps muscle cramps, magnesium boost

Coffee grounds: deodorizer, exfoliant

Brb, shaving my legs and scrubbing them smooooooth! 

Peanut butter cup stuffed chocolate chip cookies

This is a game changer.

I whipped these babies up for a month end treat for my coworkers after getting two requests for homemade peanut butter cup. I was going to make those and realized I don't want to dirty my blender to blend the peanuts (lazy ass right here). In lieu I decided to incorporate peanut butter cups but instead to BAKE THEM IN THE MIDDLE OF CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES! Yeah. I did that. Ok so the recipe is adapted from

here  because 1) the word easy was right in the description and 2) it DIDN'T have the words "secret ingredients" (who has time for that nonsense). The only change I made to the actually cookie portion was to cut the butter with some coconut oil because I've convinced myself coconut oil = HEALTH FOOD (even if it's a peanut butter cup baked into a cookie lol whatever) so here it goes!
Also, the photos were for the 'gram and not taken with the intention to publish so please calm down.

Ingredients:

1/2 cup butter 

1/2 coconut oil

2 eggs

1/2 cup white sugar

1 1/2 cups firmly packed brown sugar

2 1/2 cups flour

1 tsp each baking soda and baking powder

3/4 tsp salt

However many chocolate chips you want because I'm not the boss of you and won't judge you if you add the whole bag

Approximately 18 mini peanut butter cups

Steps:

1) Cream butter, coconut oil, sugars and eggs until well mixed 

2) Add the rest of the ingredients (except the chocolate) and mix until combined 

3) Incorporate your chocolate chips (I used approximately 1 cup)

4) Take about 1 tbsp dough and wrap it around a mini peanut butter cup

5) Add like 4/5 more chocolate chips on top for *~*aesthetic appeal*~*

6) Bake on parchment lined cookie sheet at 350 for 10 minutes 

This might sound very vague but the truth is my kitchen has no rules because I'm a grownup and no one can make me only use unsalted butter in baking (10 blogger Angels just lost their wings) or measure flour by spooning into the measuring cup and levelling off. I don't have time for that unless I'm making croissants ok? Anyway, make these, share them, make friends, repeat.
