My relationship with coconut oil started as a fling but has recently flourished into a full-blown love affair! 

I first purchased coconut oil as an ingredient to make homemade deodorant.   I made the deodorant then put my jar of coconut oil away in a cabinet.

I recently began using the no ‘poo shampoo method on my hair.  I needed a leave in conditioner for my coarse and curly, sometimes frizzy, hair.  I opened the cabinet and pulled out my jar of coconut oil.  Into my hair it went.  It worked wonderfully!  I rub a little of the oil in my wet hair after a shower and voila…great hair!

I am on a roll…here are the ways that I am currently using coconut oil. 

1.  In my homemade deodorant.

2.  Leave in hair conditioner

3.  Facial cleaner

4.  Lip conditioner

5.  Soothes my eczema

6.  I apply it to my entire body after a shower

7.  Audrey’s diaper rash

8.  Ava had a runny irritated nose from allergies, I rubbed a little inside her nose before bed and it cleared it right up

9.  Used it to replace the oil in my banana bread recipe..yummm

10.  I rub it into my hands and cuticles for soft hands

11.  I even eat a spoonful a day to boost my immunity

There are so many uses for coconut oil.  I plan to continue to find new ways to use it!

If you have additional uses I would be stoked if you would share them with me!
