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

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:

Invisible Illness Series: Support

Hello everyone! Today's blog post is going to be a little emotional but I feel like it will probably help so many of you all. One thing I have noticed with having Endometriosis is how many people just do not get it. They do not understand why I am constantly in pain. They think that the pain that I am experiencing on a daily basis is something that everyone experiences. It is not. People who suffer from chronic pain can go hours at a time in excruciating pain that honestly is indescribable. And even then if people physically see you in pain, they do not care.They just think you are either faking it or being over dramatic. Well to those people I have this to say, you should be ashamed of yourself. Why would anyone fake being in agony for hours at a time. Why would anyone feel the need to be stuck in bed for a long time just because they just "don't feel like getting up". I have a feeling that many of you have experienced people like that in your life. Well let m

Review: Victoria Secret Seamless Racerback Bra

Hey everyone! So I never see anyone reviewing sports bras! So today I decided to review one! Now I HATE sport bras. Every sports bra that I have ever tried either suffocates my boobs (TMI...sorry!) or they are way to lose to support my boobs when I am working out. Now I am addicted to Victoria Secret Pink. I absolutely love every thing they have. I own way to much stuff from them so when I saw this new sports bra, I had to try it. It is the Victoria Secret Pink Seamless Racerback Bra ! First Impression: I got it in the tie dye color in blue. When I first got it in the mail, the first thing I thought was how soft it was. Then I saw that it was a very thin material. I thought it was going to be a little thicker like most sports bras. I was kinda afraid that it will show my nips. (TMI!) I got it in a medium. First Time Wearing It: The first time I wore it was not to work out but to school. I got so many compliments from my friends. They all thought it was different because of

Book Review: Bones Never Lie by Kathy Reichs

Another book review!? Yes! Today I have another book review for you all and it is going to be a good one! So this novel was one of the galleys that my mom got for me at BEA. (Book Expo America) Just a warning is that this novel does not come out until September 23. But you can always pre-order it if you are interested. The novel is called Bones Never Lie by Kathy Reichs . Now I will give you a little background about why I read this book. When I was in 6th grade, my Biology teacher put on the show Bones for us to watch. And from that day to 10th grade, I wanted to be a forensic anthropologist. Now to this day I love forensics, I think it is super fascinating but I am just not good at biology. Anyways, the show Bones was based off of Kathy Reichs and her life as a forensic anthropologist. Now a forensic anthropologist is someone who studies human bones and figures out what happened to that person. How they died, if they were murdered, did they have any health problems, stuff
