So, I know I've been a little MIA these passed few months, but I have been doing things and taking pictures so I can do some new posts. :) Things with my daughter doing chemo are going well but busy and I had my baby (#5) in October. So, it takes a lot of juggling and acrobatics to get everything done each day!
But here is a quick and easy thing that I have fallen in love with ! Coconut oil. I use it all the time. I have started using it instead of lotion, face wash, mouth wash. . . wait, are we in the kitchen or the bathroom? Ha ha! I will give more details on how I use it as face wash and mouth wash, but here is a nice, simple way to make it more usable as a lotion or moisturizer.
Take some coconut oil and a hand mixer and whip it. That's all. Coconut oil has a melting point of 76 degrees. So, below that, it is solid. I've been using straight out of the jar for a few months and it gets a little hard to dig it out sometimes. Once I whipped it up, it stays nice and fluffy and is easy to scoop a little out to use on my hands, my little boy's eczema, my daughter's dry elbows, etc. I love it. I hope you will, too.
