Otherwise, they are hard to rub in and just fall off your skin.

Using the grounds as a hair treatment was a mistake. The only way I got it all out was by using conditioner and wasting a lot of water (my hair is only shoulder length). My shower was extended by 10 minutes.

By the way, I did not smell like coffee afterward.

Roses love the acid, plus the strongly scented grounds help keep the pests at bay…..

I’m a bit worried about the smell.

The worst ant problem in my house is on the counter where we make the coffee. Also, all of our used coffee grounds go into the compost bin (and we make at least 2 pots a day) and when wem recently used some of the compost, we found lots of ants there as well.
