Caffinated Cellulite

I am desperate!  Last night after midnight, I had a panic attack.  I realized that I am leaving for a beach vacation in less than a week and my cellulite is out of control.  Since I am not currently employed, my goal was to work out every day and lose 20 pounds.  Surprise.  That has not happened. 

My first thought was to run out to a 24-hour store and buy some cellulite cream.  On second thought, spending $20-$50 on a cream that barely works and will not show results in a week did not seam feasible to this newly money savvy chic.  So, I developed a brilliant plan at 1:15am to make my own.

The beauty magazines tout that caffeine is responsible for reducing the orange peel appearance of cellulite.  What has caffeine? Coffee!  I went and found the darkest k-cup that I could find in the pantry.  The darker...the more caffeine...right?  Then I cut open the k-cup.  A black cloud of ground coffee blew out the top.  Ok.  Step 1 complete.  I put it in a bowl.

Step 2. Now how do I get this on my legs? I need to mix it with something. At this late hour, sesame oil seemed like a logical choice because I used to slather it on to lighten the color of stretch marks.  I mixed the dark coffee grounds and the sesame oil together.  It smelled awful but I was a determined woman.  I rubbed this mixture on my legs while standing in the kitchen.  Not a fab idea. Coffee got all over the floor and the dogs were having a field day.  You would have thought they had been unleashed at Starbucks.

I grabbed the cling wrap and wrapped my legs so it would stop falling off.  The dogs were still going at the mess on the floor so I vacuumed it up.  Problem.  I should have worn underwear during this beauty treatment.  Coffee grounds went were no coffee should ever go: truly an uncomfortable experience.

However, I did successfully make it up the stairs to rinse the mess off in the shower.  I must admit that I really think it work a tad bit. I actaully may try it again.

When my husband returns home from his trip what do you think he will notice first? My reduced cellulite or the lingering odor of sesame oil and coffee?
