Are you a coffee addict? Maybe you wish you could take the mind energizing properties of your morning latte and transfer them to your body? A friend of mine just returned from a weekend spa getaway raving about this fabulous body scrub:

Body Coffee claims the benefits of the coffee bean actually extend far beyond the boundaries of the paper cup. Coffee beans are also apparently a wonderful free radical scavenger, a gentle exfoliant, an astringent, a UVA/UVB protector and a terrific cleanser.

Available in lotions, bars, scrubs and oils, Body Coffee products can be ordered from either their online store or from spa facilities and retail outlets around the world.
