The Simple Home - Using Coconut Oil and Other Natural Stuff

Every now and then, I'll take a red-cup coffee break and go visit Lindsay's Simple Home over at Passionate Homemaking. I always find great ideas from this savvy, green, waffle-making, frugal mom!

On tonight's coffee break visit, I thoroughly loved learning from reading Linday's new post on natural body products.

She highly recommends using Coconut Oil and after reading the benefits, I say a big YES!

She wrote that coconut oil:
Promotes weight loss
Provides an immediate source of energy
Supplies fewer calories than other fats
Supplies important nutrients necessary for good health
Is highly resistant to spoilage (long shelf life)
Is heat resistant (the healthiest oil for cooking)
Coconut oil has been called the “healthiest dietary oil on earth.” She says, "This is the item that I have just started incorporating into our diet. I have been cooking with it, adding it to smoothies, and now I am realizing the benefits to using it as a natural body product."

Lindsay tells you how use coconut oil as a hair conditioner and deodorant. For the rest of her advice, read here. I think I'll go take a tablespoon of coconut.
