Guest Blog: Coconut Oil

1. Coconut oil is by far the safest, healthiest and tastiest oil to cook with especially at high temperatures. 

2. On the skin as a basic lotion.

3. As an eye-makeup remover. Really! Plus it’s gentle and moisturizing unlike chemical make up removers.

4. It’s high Lauric acid and MCFA content helps boost metabolism.

5. A tiny dab rubbed on your hands and then through hair will help get rid of dry ends.

6. As an intensive night time facial moisturizer.

7. Mixed with equal parts sugar for a smoothing body scrub (use in the shower).

8. Rubbed on lips as a natural chap stick.

9. Sarah Wilson’s fail-proof tip - eat it straight from the jar. It satisfies your need for something sweet and kills your appetite for about 4-5hrs. 

10. Sarah Wilson’s nut ball recipe.

11. On cuticles to help nails grow.

12. Rub into elbows daily to help alleviate dry, flaky elbows.
