Hello Everyone,

Earthquakes Mugs, have you seen these advertised on tv? It's the mug that won't tip over. This insulated mug features a special air-lock technology base that grips tightly to any smooth surface to eliminate tipping, toppling and falls. When pushed, jostled or shoved, it refuses to budge. But, when you are ready to sip, just lift it straight up and it releases instantly.

Head over to the site to check out the video of the Earthquake Mug in action.

Exfoliate your skin.

The same properties that reportedly enable coffee to reduce the appearance of cellulite can smooth and tighten your skin, and the texture of ground coffee will buff away dead skin cells, too. Make your own coffee-based scrub by combining a tablespoon of coffee grounds with half a tablespoon of olive oil and, optionally, a drop of your favorite essential oil.

Touch up furniture scratches.

Scratches on wood furniture disappear almost instantly by simply rubbing in a little bit of instant coffee dampened into a paste with hot water. Repeat if necessary until the scratch matches the surrounding wood.
