So I'm sure by now we've all seen the ever so talked about Coconut Oil trend.
After seeing it mentioned on various social media outlets and hearing people rave about what a miracle product it is, I was convinced I needed to try it.
I researched the type you want to get for multi-purpose uses (Organic & Unrefined) and headed to Target!
I bought the Simply Balanced Organic Unrefined Virgin Coconut Oil, I'll link it below.

Simply Balanced is a Target brand and I don't believe can be found anywhere else.
So now that I am finished with my first jar and have repurchased another I feel I'm experienced enough to share my opinion. Basically, I'm obsessed.
This stuff is AMAZING!
Everyone needs it in their house, bathroom, bedroom, EVERYWHERE!
It's a solid, but melts at 75 degrees and/or with your body temp.
There's a faint smell, it reminds me of an Almond Joy candy bar, but after a while you don't even notice it.
A few of my favorite ways to use it... Moisturizer! It absorbs after a bit and doesn't leave you greasy like most oils would. I've also used it to relieve a sunburn recently and it helped a ton!
It's also said to help cellulite.
I tend to get texture under my eyes and when wearing makeup, my concealer clings to it for dear life, but not anymore! I either apply some before bed, or a tiny tiny bit under my eyes after moisturizing but prior to applying makeup. Seriously works wonders!
I have swapped this for my Bio Oil (which I have loved for years). I apply it to my bikini area to soothe the skin after shaving, keep the area moisturized, and to prevent ingrown hairs.
It works just as well as Bio Oil, but better in my opinion and it's organic! So it's more save to apply to those "delicate" areas.
I apply this to my lips when they're dry or cracked and it heals them up almost immediately.
I also use a little bit on my face from time to time to treat dry patches, and even a dry itchy nose from allergies. I have combo to oily skin that tends to be very sensitive to new products ESPECIALLY oily ones, but this doesn't bother me AT ALL. Maybe because it's organic??
I also briefly tried "oil pulling" which is the process of swishing this stuff around in your mouth for about 20 minutes; however, it gave me a migraine, which is common.
Coconut Oil combined with Dry Brushing (my other newest obsession) are total game changers in my opinion!
(If you'd like a blog on Dry Brushing, let me know!)
Other Suggested Ways To Use Coconut Oil:
-Cooking (replaces unhealthy fats and is a more natural cooking oil)
-Shaving/ Shaving Cream
-Sexual Lubricant (reduces chances of UTIs and various issues caused by regular lubricants due to it being completely organic.)
-Hair Treatment
-Eat 1-2 tablespoon a day to improve digestion, balance hormones, balance blood sugar, improves energy, burns fat, and helps lower cholesterol.
-Coffee Creamer/ Sweetener
Overall, I say Coconut Oil is a must in every household!
There's so many uses and benefits of this stuff.
Why waste money on so many products when you can wipe them all out with 1?!?!
It doesn't get any better than that, guys!
