Coconut Oil--The New Little Black Dress



It was brought to my attention today that not everyone is privy to the literal awesome sauce that is coconut oil.
 Weird huh?

It's like magic in a jar, it's uses are endless, it's second only to BM.  (That's breast milk for those not in the know.  Oh wait, you thought?... huh, that's just gross--moving on.) If you knew just how incredibly amazing this stuff was, you'd be using less chemicals on your body and in your home, plus, you'd save a bunch of dough.  Is it any wonder it isn't mainstream ;) PS-Your skin is the largest organ in your body, it takes just 26 seconds for chemicals applied to the skin to enter your bloodstream.

Forget more cowbell, you need more coconut oil.

So, without further ado, here is just a preview of CO's resume:

For around 17 dollars, you can easily replace a multitude of products and decrease the chemical laden crud seeping out of your medicine cabinet.

That price will get you 2 Nutiva Organic Unrefined coconut oil jars.
One for the kitchen, the other for the powder room.
You can buy it pretty much anywhere, I prefer to get mine on amazon.
This is NOT an affiliate link, I have no affiliation with amazon, just sharing what I purchase.
Nutiva 2 pack

One last thing, don't be fooled.
They sell processed hydrogenated oil and label it coconut oil, this stuff is pure artery clogging junk and tastes about as appealing as drinking canola oil.
There are many different quality brands out there that you can try, just make sure it is UNREFINED and VIRGIN.
You can't comare it to the LouAnna slop they sell at WalMart.

Now sit back and enjoy your new found, frugal, crunchy, healthy, smart chameleon of a product.

And that folks, is why coconut oil should be your new best friend.
