GINA GINA - Thursday, and so beautiful

TODAY: Coconut Oil

 I know of only one beauty product that is said to be a "cure-all" (almost), that product is coconut oil. Coconut oil is not only GREAT to cook with or ingest, but it is also used for everything from moisturizing dry skin and hair, to being a wonderful breath freshener and I've even heard deodorant. Coconut Oil is antibacterial and anti fungal, when ingested it goes to work: 1) having therapeutic effects on certain brain disorders with its medium chain triglycerides 2) the way its broken down in the body, coconut oil ingested can kill harmful pathogens and fight infections of bacteria and fungus 3) it can help reduce hunger pains and is said to help reduce fat in the body (especially in the abdominal area). Coconut Oil is used topically: 1) as a body lotion 2) is great for your cuticles 3) as a makeup remover 4) and to clean your makeup brushes 5) used for stretch marks 6) as a conditioner for hair (leave in overnight for deep condition) 7) add some baking soda to it and you have a great teeth whitener 8) use as a Body Oil, Massage Oil and even shaving balm. This is just a small list of the many, many uses for Coconut Oil.

In close: Next time you go to the supermarket, buy yourself a jar of Kitchen Coconut Oil (I say kitchen, that way you can eat it as well all of the topical uses), then, go crazy experimenting on all the fabulous, different ways you can incorporate this awesome oil into your daily life.

have a wonderful evening...
