Coconut Oil!!

I love coconut oil! It is the only oil I cook with now and I I enjoy it so much!. I use a virgin organic coconut oil from Trader Joes and I really don't notice (nor does my husband) any coconut flavors in my food. But we both love coconut and have grown accustom to the taste maybe.... 

Some of the things I have used coconut oil for: 
  • Cooking/frying perogies, stir fry, potatoes, veggies, and much more....I use it in my pans too! No more Pam for me! 
  • I've used it as an ingredient for my recipes too! 
  • Moisturizing the ends of my hair! I did this a couple times before I stopped using shampoo
  • Oil Pulling! (I have only done this a couple times but plan to continue regularly!) *See video below for a good explanation of it!*
  • For dry skin (like under your nose when you have a cold and you are constantly rubbing it raw with a kleenex!) 
  • And I think that's about it! But I know there are so many other things you can do with coconut oil!! If you have suggestions, let me know in the comments below!! 




Here are a couple links on the benefits of coconut oil!! 


I think that's all for today :D Enjoy the sunshine!!! <3 <3 <3
