Life Style: World Coffee Day celebrated on 1st October provides an ideal opportunity for every coffee lover to explore new ways to utilize the versatile nature of their favorite caffeinated beverage in their daily life. Coffee isn't just a beverage you drink when you wake up in the morning, it can improve everything from skin care to cooking. Here are five new uses for coffee that will spice up your daily routine.

Coffee grounds are a great natural exfoliant. Mix the used grounds with coconut oil or yogurt to create a scrub, which removes dead skin cells and increases blood circulation. This invigorating treatment can leave your skin feeling refreshed and glowing. Adding coffee to delicious dishes can further enhance their flavor. A splash of steamed coffee can make marinades, gravies or barbecue sauces even better. Adding espresso to your chili creates a rich, smoky undertone that will impress your dinner guests.

Coffee isn't just for your insides. Coffee can increase hair growth and add shine. Brew coffee in a sturdy pot, let it cool and use it for the final rinse after shampooing. Caffeine can energize your scalp and enhance the natural shine of your hair. Transform your living space with the warm aroma of coffee. For a natural air freshener, boil used coffee on the stove with spices like cinnamon and vanilla. You can also keep a bowl of dry coffee grounds in the refrigerator to neutralize odors.

Explore your artistic side using coffee as a medium. Brewed coffee can be used to apply color to painting or paper, creating unique textures and tones. This creative endeavor can be a fun and relaxing way to express yourself.
