Why is Coconut Oil So Great For You?

For the past year, Coconut Oil has been talked about all around the blogging community as well as the YouTube community. I first heard of Coconut Oil from Rachel Talbott who is a Youtuber. She first described using Coconut Oil in her hair and for a while I was really interested in what Coconut Oil was and why is it so great for you.

What is Coconut Oil?

Coconut Oil is oil from a coconut! There is no chemicals, no added ingredients, it's just plain Coconut Oil.

What is Coconut Oil Used For?

-Putting nutrients back into your hair and making it shiny

-Getting rid of stretch marks

-For cooking

-Eye make up remover

-Regular lotion

and much more ways to use it! (More Info!)

Benefits of Coconut Oil?

-Coconut Oil has one of the richest sources of saturated fat

- People around the world get 60% of their calories from coconut oil and they have no heart problems.

-Coconut Oil can increase your energy

and much more benefits! ( More Info!)

Downside of Coconut Oil?

You can eat a teaspoon or more of Coconut Oil. But if you are trying to lose weight, than it would not be a good idea to eat a lot of Coconut Oil. Each teaspoon of Coconut Oil has 120 calories. Since your body needs good fats, but if you get your fats from Coconut Oil, you will be missing some important fibers and other nutrients. (More Info! )

Overall I think everyone should get Coconut Oil. Since there are so many benefits to Coconut Oil and not many downsides, plus it is not that expensive, it's a win win. I did tell you all how I made my stretch marks go away! (Here)

Here are all the websites I used to find information:

Beauty and Random Favorites for 2014!

Happy 2015 Everyone! I hope that the start of 2015 is going well for you all. I am super excited to be sharing my top 2014 products with you. At the end of the blog post, I will be sharing some random favorites as well. I hope you all enjoy! Face: I have two favorite foundations for 2014. The first one is a high end foundation and it is the Tarte Amazonian Clay 12- Hour Full Coverage Foundation . I have the shade Medium-Tan Honey. This is my special occasion foundation. Since it is pretty expensive ( $38) I do not want to use it every day. My favorite part of this foundation is how much it looks like skin on your face but it looks like a more flawless version of my skin. But I personally do not like the cake face look and I like the more natural look and this foundation gives it to me. The second foundation is from the drugstore and it is the Loreal True Match Super-Blendable Make up . I am in the shade W3. I heard about this foundation all over YouTube but ...

Hi everyone! I hope you all are doing well. Now that I have started talking about spring, I am so ready for it! My last post was about my favorite spring trends for 2014 and today I want to talk about nail polish! I love nail polish. It makes me so happy when I am writing notes and all of a sudden I look down and see my nails painted in a pretty color. It brightens my day! It's all about the small things in life. Essie's Play Date This color just screams spring to me. This is one of my all time favorite nail polishes and every time spring and summer comes around, this is the first nail polish I put on. You're Such a Budapest This color is gorgeous. I do not personally own this color....yet! I will be getting it this spring because this is like a lavender/periwinkle purple. This color is a perfect color to transition color from winter to spring. Essie's Sand Tropez This is another color that I don't own.....but I will. I honestly think ...

January Random Favorites 2015!

Hello Everyone! It is my first favorites blog post of the new year! How exciting! So January was not a good month at all for me. I was extremely sick and I was getting back to college and I moved dorm rooms so I was adjusting to that as well, so that is why I don't have any make up favorites. I started wearing make up and playing with make up during the last month of January so all the make up that I have been loving will be in my next favorites. But January was all about movies and TV shows. My first favorite of the month and the biggest favorite in January was Reign. If you love Vampire Diaries. You will love this show. Reign is just ..... no words can even describe how good it is. It is about Mary Stuart, the Queen of Scotland and how she has to marry Prince Francis of France, soon to be the king of France. The whole show is based on what happens in the castle between Francis and Mary as well as France and Scotland. This show is filled with passion, danger and streng...
