One way you can curl your hair is to twist your hair with a pencil and then heat each lock with a regular flat iron or even a hairdryer. This will help you get curls as quickly as you would with a hair curler.

Ground coffee is used for exfoliating dead skin cells off. However, many might not know that we can substitute your regular body scrub with ground coffee. It is more effective to use fresh coffee to scrub your body as it is a better exfoliator. Caffeine is rich in antioxidants and can help to tighten your skin, reduce fine lines and help nourish it. The antioxidants present in coffee can make your skin glow and leave a pleasant scent on the skin after you wash it off.

Not only are frozen grapes a delicious and healthy snack to munch on, but they can also help you chill your favorite white wines. If you use ice cubes to chill your wine, the cubes will melt and dilute your wine, hence using grapes is a more innovative alternative to it.
