Let me list the ways I love to use thee:
1. Body moisturizer. I'm sure there are more creative, less oily ways to use this but we use it straight baby. After bath time I put it all over the girls. I use it on my skin and once a week I soak my hair in it for about an hour and then wash it out. Love it!
2. Supplement. Can you even call it that? Probably not. But I try to make sure the girls and I all have at least 1-2 tablespoons of this a day. I usually add it to a morning smoothie or melt it over cooked peas. Yum.
3. Cooking. It's not great to heat up things like olive oil past a certain temperature. Coconut oil is a healthier oil when it comes to cooking. We like to use it when we cook stir fry and it tastes lovely.
Wow. I thought I had a longer list then that. I think it's late and I can't think of anything else right now. If I think of other uses for it I will add it. Please add your own too!
ps. Only use 100% organic, extra virgin, cold pressed, centrifuge extracted coconut oil. :) What a mouth full.
Joy, this is for you! :)

Should I just get any old coconut oil? Or is there a certain kind? Cause...I think I need some. :)
You know, I will add that to this post. I forgot to say what kind of coconut oil because there is for sure a difference. I'll add it. :)
I bought your little coconut oil awhile back... I used it on my face and BROKE OUT!
No gracias.
I threw it away the other day.
and that was me...:)
Amy I am LAUGHING right now. Picturing you with cute little red spots all over and totally freaking about it. Yeah,the face thing isn't for everyone. I don't seem to have a problem with it but a lot of people should just use it on their body and not on their face.
NOOOOOOOOOOO you didn't throw it away Amy! Not the precious coconut oil! You should have made body butter for sweet Silas with it! I bought me some awhile back and love it. I Haven't cooked with it.
Wilderness Family Naturals (can find them online or call their 800 number) will ship for free if you place larger orders...they also give major discounts for ordering 6 or more gallons...so I get an entire gallon way over 20 bucks cheaper this way and all my friends get one too! It's like 55 dollars, I think...for an entire gallon! Great deal for centrifuged! When you pay like 20 bucks for a few ounces at the store! :)
