Thank you all for participating

Ok, so I realize that it has been forever since I posted this picture on Facebook and Instagram. But you must forgive me, because I am doing an awesome giveaway of Tropical Traditions, Virgin Coconut Oil! But before we get to the giveaway part (which, if that’s the only reason you’re here you can find at the end of this post) I want to share some things I’ve used Coconut Oil for. Some of the things I tried, I liked :), and some got a dislike :( but I’ll share all that with you below, so here we go!
 
My Uses for Coconut Oil
 
Cooking – Liked

I did not use any coconut oil for baking (baking is not really my strong suite) but I did use it in place of frying oil, to sauté different meats, cook onions in, and in different recipe’s that called for oil. Although I could smell the coconut while these different dishes were cooking I could not taste it, my husband, also, never mentioned tasting a coconut flavor (I tried to keep it a secret when I was using the oil in cooking so I could get an honest opinion!)

Cleaning – Liked and Disliked

Liked – I read you can use oil (of any kind) to keep soap scum from building up on a glass shower door and to keep water marks off of the faucets in the bathroom and kitchen. Works like a charm.
Disliked – Even though it worked to use the coconut oil for this, I almost felt like I was mis-using the product when I could purchase a cheaper oil (baby oil for example) that worked just as well. Also, since the coconut oil is a solid it added another step to heat the oil before using it. I like to keep things simple so a bottle of baby oil under each sink is the way to go for me.

 
 
Hair, Skin and Nails – Liked and Disliked
I probably used most of my 32oz. jar on this category. It’s the cosmetologist in me!

• Hair – Liked and Disliked

I liked using this as a conditioning treatment, to tame flyaway's and for split ends. I washes out easily, (unlike using other oils that almost defeat the purpose of a treatment, because you shampoo your hair to death trying to get the oil out) because its a solid it makes a great, lightweight paste to smooth your hair and I think it must work as a heat protectorate because I have not had split ends since my last trim, 2 months ago!

The dislike part of this is that it is still an oil and if you use too much your hair looks oily very quickly. However that’s the case with most products so I can’t complain too much!

• Skin – LOVED!

1. Moisturizers (body & face) Even  though it is an oil, it does not leave you feeling oily because the molecules are so small in coconut oil your skin can absorb it much easier than other oils. I absolutely love this for my sensitive skin!
2. Face Wash. I use the oil pulling method every morning, again, its great for my sensitive skin.
3. Mouth wash (sort of) A friend told me about a teeth, oil pulling method.
4. Homemade Hand and Skin Scrubs. After you mix it together with your scrubbing agent and scent the oil returns to a solid state which means you don’t have to re-mix it when you want to use some.

This is just a few of the things I used Coconut Oil for but I think you get the idea, that over all, I loved it. Here is some extra reading on Coconut oil and how to use it if your interested.
