All Hail Coconut oil

Yes I am aware that coconut oil is kind of a fad and all the rage these days,
But rightfully so!
Here are some of my uses for coconut oil:
Lube- just gonna get this out in the open first and foremost. It's natural, smells wonderful, and healthy for your lady bits! Also, perfect for a massage during foreplay!
Hair- good for hair growth due to the essential proteins, eye lashes, deep conditioner (just be prepared to wash your hair with shampoo several times afterward to completely get all the oil out) I will wrap my hair in plastic wrap for full absorption and, excuse me, moisture. I'll leave it on for an hour or so or sometimes sleep with it! For us curly haired babes, there is no such thing as "too-much conditioner". Coconut oils keeps my beachy waves and curls smooth and bouncy.
Skin-I've recently started oil pulling. It's where you use essential oils, or coconut oil, to detox your skin from gross, acne causing oil, and replacing it with healthy skin-glowing oils! 
Shaving cream alternative: keeps your skin protected from sharp razors whilst moisturizing in the shower.
Also, lotion; nothing feels better than freshly shaven legs,slathered in coconut oil. This magical oil replenishes and moisturizes your skin. Great for severely dry and rough skin or skin conditions such as eczema and psoriasis, both of which I have. WOO ELEPHANT ELBOWS.
Teeth: Coconut oil is a natural antibiotic and helps prevent tooth decay. It improves the absorptions of calcium and magnesium, essential for strong bones and teeth.
cooking- great butter replacement (can I get an Amen vegans?!) Great for baking or sauteing veggies! NOM NOM
Health: It could aid in weight loss. Coconut oil is jam packed with "good" fats and can help you feel full whilst raising "good" cholesterol. It can ward off a cold; antibacterial, antimicrobial, and antiviral; helps boost immune system by improving white blood cell count, needed to fight off infections and viruses!

So head over to your local whole foods or sprouts and pick up a jar of this magical oil. I have a jar in every room of my house; bathroom for easy lather straight from the shower, kitchen for my nightly veggies, bedroom for.... obvious reasons (sorry if this is TMI mom lolz).

Namaste,
the 20-something old soul
