Compost

Composting is the natural process of recycling organic items, for instance, decomposing plants; food scraps into a mixture of a dark, rich material better known as compost. In fact, the whole process of recycling food and other organic waste is an alternative way of providing a range of environmental benefits. For example, reducing the waste stream; cutting the methane emissions from landfills; improving soil health, and lessens erosion, and reducing personal food waste as well. That's why enriching the waste bin with used coffee grounds will be a great addition and will provide better conditions. One study found that used coffee grounds are rich in magnesium, potassium, calcium, and other vitamins and minerals and that will lead to better terms for the worms that love this kind of environment to stick more around.

​Body Scrub

The body scrub is a mechanical exfoliant that sloughs off dead skin cells from the outer layer of the skin and makes it even softer and smoother. Furthermore, the body scrub moisturizes, increases blood circulation, cleanses the skin by exfoliating, and even prevents future acne breakouts.
Coffee grounds are abrasive, loaded with antioxidants, and have antibacterial and antiviral properties that are very beneficial for the skin. 
With only a few simple ingredients and steps, the coffee grounds can be turned off into a luxurious body scrub that can make the skin smooth and glowing. Mix together 1/2 cup of used coffee grounds with a quarter cup of brown sugar and also could be added 1/2 cup of olive or coconut oil. And then it is easy- just gently rub the mixture over the skin and of course, the areas around the eyes should be avoided.
