It's no secret that coconut is a great oil and fat to have in your diet. A simple google search will yield enough articles and blog posts to support and affirm the goodness. I had fun this afternoon going through this lady's blog reading how she makes lotion bars and deodorant bars. (I personally just apply the coconut oil directly on my skin for deodorant and am not sure why I'd need the baking soda and arrowroot powder).
I've been trying to have a teaspoon or two daily, and I'm mostly only able to get it into my coffee. And one batch of popcorn.
I've bought mine from amazon.com and it is this kind. That is a good price and better than what I found locally. I keep one in my bathroom and one in the kitchen. I've also scooped some out into a little container to keep next to a bathtub.
So here's my short list of how I've been using it and how I hope to use it in the near future:
1. as a deodorant straight out of the tub
2. as a facial moisturizer
3. on my hands, arms, and legs as a moisturizer
4. a tiny bit on my palms and then smooth down frizzy hair
5. one teaspoon in cup of coffee
6. use to pop popcorn
7. spread on toast
8. stir fry vegetables
9. fried an egg in it (not so good)
10. one teaspoon in a cup of tea
11. oil pulling see here for tips and sources
How are you using it?
