Coconut Oil?!

Hi Friends!
Hope everyone is doing good this beautiful Spring...almost Summer! yay!
So, I have been reading a lot about coconut oil and I found out that it has so many uses and benefits. I know we don't usually don't talk about this type of subject on our blog but if it's going to be beneficial to you and your loved ones...why not, right?!















 (These particular bottles you can find on the Walgreen's website). 
Let me tell you a little bit of how this came about...one of my co-workers started taking coconut oil because she had started feeling a little off and it turns out it was her thyroid. Since she started taking this (2 tablespoons a day), she has been feeling so much better. I'm going to share the uses & benefits of coconut oil with you...here we go!

-natural deodorant (click on this link and you'll find more info)
-lightens age spots
-supports healthy thyroid function
-topically kills yeast infections
-helps boost metabolism
-chap stick, natural moisturizer, anti-aging facial moisturizer
-rub inside your nose to alleviate allergies
-helps improve insulin levels
-can help reduce appearance of varicose veins
-natural shave cream and after shave lotion
-can help resolve acne when used regularly
-stimulates hair growth, reduces frizz

Here are 2 pins from Pinterest that I found interesting:

-may help improve or reverse alzheimer's
-anti-inflammatory properties help reduce joint pain
-improves cholesterol ratios and heart health

More Reasons to Use Coconut Oil
-anti-viral, anti-fungal, anti-bacterial


I have decided to buy these products on-line because they're cheaper on-line and shipping is free when you spend more than $25 (if I remember correctly). Once I receive these products and see results (hopefully) I will let you know how that goes. I've been trying to stay healthy and I also work out. One of these days I'm going to go through my work out routine with you guys...hmmm!

Sorry it took so long to write to you and for you. I missed you! :)

Have a Blessed Day!

Fast Forward to July 2018...

Hello ladies, Has it really been two years since I've blogged??? I really dropped the ball this time. In my defense, I was off social media for one of those years. You know... the whole "social-media cleanse." Which by the way would have been a total success if I hadn't become a youth leader and needed to promote events. LOL. All for the greater good tho. Wow, I don't even know where to start, so I'll start with I'M SORRY and I've missed blogging! So much has happened since my move to the Sunshine State. Here's a quick overview: 1. I was jobless for two months. 2. By God's grace, I landed a job in Flood Insurance. 3. Found a church home, became a member, and a youth leader and Sunday School teacher(obviously not right away) 5. Found the greatest and most loving church family...I wouldn't replace them for the world 4. Quit my job in Flood Insurance (long story), and started working at an Elementary School as an ESOL Paraprofess...

"Curly" Straws beautify! :)

Happy Thursday loves, I'm really exhausted today, but I thought one thing would cheer me up...BLOGGING! :) So thanks to the fabulous Divas in my life who research just as much as I do about fashion, here is another trick for your hair. Curls! These are really tight curls, but there are many other tutorials to show you how to loosen them. You will need the following items to accomplish this look: STRAWS, Bobby pins ,  & maybe some hairspray. Yes, you read correctly...Straws! (^.^) No curling iron, no flat iron, no heat...all natural. hehehehe. My older sister actually used this trick on her daughters hair, which is long a beautiful, and it was adorable! Cheap way to make curls...I think it's a WINNER! They really do come out beautiful. Personally, I haven't tried it yet...probably because I'll need a WHOLE BUNCH of straws for my hair, but I think it's worth trying. I'll let you know how mine turn out & feel free to let us know your results ...

Quick Lil Tips

Hi! God Bless Everyone! Hope all is well! Remember back a few months when I told you about the uses for Coconut Oil?! Coconut Oil as Face Moisturizer Well, I tried the coconut oil and I tried it on my face as a moisturizer. It works very well with my skin. My skin is oily so I thought my face was going to look like straight up oil BUT it didn't ;) Also, I had a few bumps around my nose/upper lip area because I went and got it waxed along with my eyebrows and chin LOL! Obviously my skin is not made for that so I won't be doing that again...well, I won't be waxing near my nose/lip area... NO NO NO! Because it has anti-fungal, anti-viral and anti-bacterial functions I decided to try it out around the nose/lip area and guess what? That allergic reaction I had to the waxing is gone :) YAY! I also use a topical cream on my face that dries my skin out but because I use the Coconot Oil on my face, my face doesn't peel anymore! Another thing I noticed about using coconut ...
