Coconut Oil: A New Trend and for All-Purpose Use!

Last month, in my January Eco Emi box, I found out about coconut oil and it's many uses. When I read on the card that you could use it in your hair, on your lips, on your body, and even around your house and as well as cooking, I was hooked! For a bit, I was using up the packet that I got in my Eco Emi box, but on Sunday, I got the jar of it from New Seasons. 
The coconut oil in the packet I got from my Eco Emi box smelled like coconut, this coconut oil does have a slight hint of coconut, but when you cook with it, you can barely tell you used coconut oil! It's healthier than regular vegetable oils. On Monday, my dad made pancakes with the coconut oil, and they were wonderful! I'm going to list the uses for Coconut Oil! My new FAD!!!!I'll just pick a few of my favorite uses and you can read the rest later.(Source of uses from: Health Impact News)1.) Moisturizer- You can apply coconut oil anywhere on your body (including neck and face)2.) Eye Cream- Dab a tad bit on your under eyes to reduce puffiness, bags and wrinkles. (Eye lids in evening)3.)
