Coconut oil is my life saver. I use it for EVERYTHING! and that is really all you need.
DISCLAIMER: COCONUT OIL, in my humble but honest opinion, is a miracle. When used the right way, it has an abundance of health benefits! Now just don’t go acting foolish. Test it out moderately before overdoing anything, and by all means DON’T go eating it out of the jar like like a hormonal pregnant woman eating peanut butter. It is still and fat and still high in calories. Indulge at your own risk… and always… enjoy!
