10 Easy Ways to Use Coconut Oil…Coming Up!

Posted on March 31, 2014April 11, 2014

I sometimes play this little game with myself where I try to decide what 5 products I would pick if I could only have 5 products forever.

10 Easy Ways to Use Coconut Oil

There Are Many Easy Ways to Use Coconut Oil

It’s just so incredibly versatile in so many areas of being a “greenie”, (as I’ve come to view myself over the years). Honestly, greenie or not, coconut oil is just darn good for just about anything!
.
Almost daily, I use coconut oil for something that someone in my life has never thought to use it for and I wanted to share some ideas on ways to use coconut oil with everyone. Coconut oil can be used from everything from cooking, to your beauty regime, to cleaning.
.
I just love having 1 product that serves so many purposes and it’s more than just an option for each of these purposes, it actually works really well!
.
Here’s the kind of coconut oil I use most often…it is especially good in baking because it is unscented. I love the 7 pound tub because it lasts a good long while and is much cheaper than buying a bunch of the little jars normally found at grocery stores. However, I also love the scented extra virgin organic varieties found at high end groceries stores. Both work equally well.
.
So for the next 10 posts, we’ll talk about 10 easy ways to use coconut oil…with a new use each and every post. Get excited to fall in love with coconut oil!
.
Note: I’m sorry for my extended absence. I haven’t abandoned my blog…just had an extraordinarily crazy few months where I had to put everything on a brief hiatus. Ok…now on to the fun stuff…coconut oil…get excited for tomorrow! 
.
Question: What’s your favorite use for coconut oil? Leave a comment on the blog. Maybe it will make the list!

Hi! I'm Ashley. When I had my first daughter, I started thinking more about how the things around us affected her little mind and body.
