It's all about the Coconut Oil and THEN the Jewelry!!


Since I started using this Coconut Oil as a face and body softener, my skin is like velvet (and I am no spring chicken so velvety skin is major!)  I got this Huge container of Coconut Oil from my local Costco's for around $24.00.  Here are more great ideas I found on line.
  • Use it as the base for a homemade body scrub
  • Use to condition your wooden cutting boards. Use as a super conditioner on your hair; apply to dry hair, leave in as long as possible and then shampoo as normal.
  • Use as a styling agent if you have really dry hair. Just rub a tiny bit on your palms and apply to your hair and style as normal.
  • Keep a little container in your purse for lip balm and on your bathroom counter for dry skin.
  • Make healthy Magic Shell ice cream topping.
  • Use a tiny dab on your underarms for a natural deodorant. (This totally works!!)
  • Use coconut oil instead of shaving cream.
  • Add to your bath tub for a moisturizing soak.
  • Use as a makeup remover.
  • Use it to help sooth chicken pox, shingles, or other rashes or skin irritations.
  • Use it to treat athlete’s food, ringworm, or other fungal or yeast infections.
  • Add a spoonful to your smoothies for extra nutrition and flavor.
  • Use on the delicate tissue around your eyes to help prevent wrinkles and sagging. (Oh Yeah!)
  • Use as the base for homemade toothpaste or lotion.
  • Use in place of massage oil.
  • Use on your baby’s diaper rash or cradle cap.
  • Use to help reduce visibility of stretch marks or to prevent stretch marks.
  • For nursing mothers, use coconut oil on your nipples to prevent cracking and irritation.
  • Apply to bee stings or bug bites to soothe and heal the wound.
  • Women can use in the nether regions to relieve yeast infections, dryness, and/or discomfort. (This works!)
  • If you’re prone to nosebleeds, coat the inside of your nostrils with coconut oil regularly.
  • Helps soothe and heal hemorrhoids.
  • Use as the base for homemade vapor rub.
  • Mixed with peppermint, lemon balm, rosemary, or tea tree oil makes an excellent insect repellant.
  • Mix with baking soda for a non-toxic “Goo Gone”.
  • Use as a metal polish, but always test a small area first.
  • Use as a leather moisturizer.
  • Season your cast iron pans.
  • Use to oil your pans and baking dishes instead of pan spray.
  • Got gum stuck in your hair? Try using coconut oil to remove without cutting your hair.
  • Use instead of WD-40.
  • Use as a personal lubricant (not safe with latex).
  • Take a spoonful to help with heartburn, acid reflux, or indigestion.
  • Use as a natural sunscreen.
  • Mix with a tiny bit of fresh lemon juice and use as a furniture polish (always test a small area first!).
  • Mix with butter and toss your popcorn in it.
  • Use on cracked or rough heals to help smooth them out.
  • Massage into your nails and cuticles to help strengthen them.
  • Use as the base for homemade chocolate candy (like peanut butter cups.
