TADA!
...in my breakfast smoothie. It's supposed to aid in thyroid function. It also makes my smoothie creamier, and -- most importantly -- I like the taste.
...to cleanse and moisturize my face.
...as lip balm.
...as hand/foot/body cream.
...in place of olive oil in my homemade lemon sugar scrub. Talk about soft hands. Mmm.
...as a deep conditioner for my hair. Though I'll admit that didn't work out too well. Maybe I did it wrong?
...in a miniscule amount to tame my thin, frizzy, fly away hair.
...to make stove top popcorn. I also melt a spoonful and pour it over cooked popcorn in place of melted butter. Dee. Lish.
...in place of oil or butter when baking a cake or sautéing stir-fry.
Like I said above -- TADA!
I have even read that you can use it to polish your shoes, whiten your teeth, apply as a first aid ointment, and use it on squeaky door hinges instead of WD-40. Is there anything coconut oil can't do?
If you don't have any organic coconut oil to call your own, then go pro cur yourself a giant jar. You'll be glad you did. And hey -- if you plan to use it in or on your body, especially on your pretty face, get the good organic stuff.
I love coconut oil as well. I use it every day. My kids make fun of me because if they complain about something, my response is "put some coconut oil on it". It always makes me think of the dad in "My Big Fat Greek Wedding".
ReplyDeleteHa ha! I'm turning into "that parent" too!

"Put some coconut oil on it."
;) Well, I'm not that bad yet. Getting there, though.
I am just now getting into all of the wonderful uses of Coconut Oil. Love your post!! (:
ReplyDeleteHi Cindy! I really stink at keeping up with comments on my own stuff. You posted that almost four months ago and I've only JUST NOW checked my comments. Are you still using coconut oil? I love the stuff. I have also found that I can wash my face with olive oil, and I love it equally as well as a facial cleanser. I hope you're well. Thank you for reading.
