So why is it that I have two bottles, one each of shampoo and conditioner, using the same amount of each when I wash my hair and I run out of shampoo before the conditioner. So I am left with 1/4 full bottles of conditioner. If I just buy a new bottle of shampoo then I will most certainly run out of conditioner so I always buy both and end up having 3 bottles laying around. I could marry them but I don't always buy the same kind every time. Just one of those thing's that I think about when I take a shower. There are a ton of those things that make you go hmm, aren't there?
On a different note, I was talking to my sister who told me about a great find she got at Trader Joe's, Coconut Oil and all the things you can use it for. I had seen it there but never bought it. Then I saw a bunch of stuff on Pintrest about it so decided to buy 2 jars. It has got to be one of the best buys I've made in awhile. I keep one in the bathroom for moisturizing and one in the kitchen for cooking. I slather it on my feet then put socks on. I do this in the morning and before bed and I can't tell you what a difference it's made. I use it on my lips and hands and I cook with it too. The cool thing about using it to cook with is that it tolerates high heat very well. It's not overpowering in taste or in smell. It doesn't get better than using natural ingredients on and in your body. Hey, and it's only $5.99 at Trader Joe's! Try it, I think you'll like it!
I have been using coconut oil for everything these last couple of weeks. I have replaced my beloved olive oil (and I'm an olive oil snob) with it, and we haven't been able to tell much of a difference in taste. Tonight, the girls asked me to put the oil in their hair to moisturize it before showers. I heated it up in the microwave and brushed it on like hair color. Just shampooed both girls, so we'll see how it looks when their hair dries. Looking forward to finding all the fun uses for this oil! ~Chrissy
ReplyDeleteChrissy, I use it in rice and it just gives a hint of coconut taste and we really like it. Not overpowering like one might think, which is a good thing.
ReplyDeleteSo how did the hair treatment work out on your girls? Dying to know, so I can try it.
My sister and I both said we want to get a little tub or tube to put the oil in so we can keep in our purse for our lips and/or moisturizer. Just lovin the stuff!
