Dawn came by to talk about how she uses coffee grounds to get rid of odors on her hands. For instance, say you just chopped a bunch of garlic or onions. Your hands will be smelly and sometimes, soap isn’t enough. Dawn takes a handful of coffee grounds and uses them like soap. She just rubs them all over her hands under the water. As the coffee grounds get carried away, so do the odors.
Four people in the audience smelled Dawn’s hands after she chopped garlic and used the coffee grounds to clean them. All of them agreed it smelled good. Dr. Oz was worried it would smell like garlic in some coffee, but it turns out it really worked.
Dr. Oz: Coffee Grounds for Scrubbing Pans
Dana’s mother taught her to use leftover coffee grounds to scrub hard-to-clean pots and pans. She dumps the grounds on the pan, takes a soft cloth and wets it, and uses the soft cloth to rub the grounds into the pan. It’s not abrasive and it’s very natural. Dana said it’s also good because the coffee grounds act as an exfoliant of the hands. And as we’ve already established, they take away odors from your hands as well.

Dr. Oz: Groundhog Day & Shadows
Dr. Oz wished everyone a Happy Groundhog Day, but he warned the groundhog is rarely accurate. He did tell us that if our shadows are shorter than we are, we’re more likely to get a sunburn.

Thank goodness, you asked yesterday who the girl was on Dr. Oz in the coffee grounds segment. It was Kate from Breaking Amish. It was driving me crazy because I recognized her from tv but couldn’t place her. I hate when that happens and I can’t place where I know someone from!
