Coconut oil makes an amazing all natural body moisturiser. I use this on Herc and myself daily, John who usually doesn't moisturise has used it after long day in the sun and is a big fan. It is 5.99 for 16. oz at TJ's and goes a long way! You can pretty much get it at any grocery store now a days. Whole foods or any health store will carry it as well. I like to get the edible grade. It has a very light smell, but you can add essential oils to change the fragrance if you'd like. I like to add a few drops of eucalyptus oil when Herc is congested or fussy. Lavender oil is nice too before bed.
Another fun little use of Coconut oil is Home Made Chocolate MAGIC SHELL for ice cream.
Melt 1 cup chocolate chips in double boiler or microwave, then add 2 TBL. of coconut oil and mix until smooth and shiny. Drizzle over ice cream and let harden for about 30 seconds! Easy!
You can store extra in an air tight container at room temp for up to two days.
Have a fun week!
