Healthy ways I like to use coconut oil and milk.
- I love to use coconut milk in place of heavy creams or milk when cooking. When making a spicy Thai or Indian dish it tastes even better than cream or yogurt!
- Adding coconut milk in oatmeal and tea is a great way to add flavor health food that would otherwise taste like caca.
- You can use it in the place of butter when baking, just put it in the fridge and let it get to that "butter" consistency.
Beauty care methods I use:
- Scrub it into your scalp and leave it on for 20 to 30 minutes before washing. For best results, leave it on overnight. Put a shower cap over it and place a towel on your pillow to protect it. Always wash out the oil with a toxin free shampoo.
- I plan to make myself a sugar scrub out of it and see how it works, you should try it and let me know how it works. Just make it like you would any other sugar scrub, 1 part oil to 2 parts sugar. Make sure to warm the oil in a bowl of warm or hot water first to help with mixing(DO NOT put it in the microwave, you will destroy all the good stuff!), and try to use it all. It is best make it fresh every time rather than store it for later. This is just an experiment and I can't vouch for how well my theory will work. I can say that you should have no awful skin reactions to it since it is just oil and sugar. I am going to use it just before shaving and see if it helps get a closer shave. Good luck with your trial if you do one!
Here are some store bought beauty care products I use that work and won't empty the bank!

Most of the beauty care lines put out by this company are great but I found the coconut milk line works best for me. Try them out, those of you who know about sulfate and paraben free hair products know what I mean!
