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 ...

Summer Foundation Routine 2015

Hi Everyone! I have been wanting to do this blog post for a couple of months now but I really wanted to test out the product and make sure that I really stand by my opinions. Everyone in the beauty community has been talking about the L'Oreal Infallible Pro-Matte 24HR Foundation . I have been using my ride or die foundation, the L'Oreal True Match Foundation for years. So I was a little hesitant to try out a new foundation. Once I have found something I love, I don't like to stray away from it. I went to a couple of different places to figure out the best price for the foundation. This foundation can vary from $11 to $13, depending on where you go. I got mine at CVS because I had a coupon. I got my color in 107 Fresh Biege. I want to tell you two very important things about my skin. I have a yellow undertone to my skin and I have dry skin. Especially in my T zone area. So if you have a pink undertone, I do not recommend this foundation. Most of the ...

My Love for Pandora Jewelry!

Hello! I am super excited to be doing this blog post because it's about a topic that I have not really talked about on my blog. Today I will be talking about jewelry! Now ever since I was little, I have always wanted a Pandora bracelet. So many of my friends had them and my teachers had them and I was always so in love. Besides my Tiffany bracelet, my Pandora jewelry is my most prized jewelry pieces. So today I thought I would share my jewelry pieces from Pandora Jewelry for you all! Three of the items I just got yesterday but I just had to share them with you because I am obsessed. So here we go! The first and my favorite Pandora item is my bracelet. The reason this is my favorite Pandora piece is because I got this as a graduation present from my parents and my little brother. My parents knew how much I wanted a Pandora bracelet and the fact that they took the time to pick out these charms specifically for my graduation present means the world to me. A lot of people thi...
