4 Uses for Coconut Oil

February 22, 2016

Happy Monday! 

People are obsessed and swear by coconut oil for everything, I am no different. I started using it about two years ago and I love it just as much as day one. There are a million (literally, I'm not lying) ways to use coconut oil and  I wanted to share 4 quick and easy ways I use it regularly. 

1. Makeup remover- slab some on and it will remove even the toughest waterproof mascara you have!
2. Moisturizer (face and body)- A little goes a very long way, especially on the face. 
3. Hair treatment- I use coconut oil to pre-poo, seal my products after a wash and go, and sometimes to mix into hair masks. 
4. Shaving- I just recently started doing this and I refuse to use shaving cream again, the coconut oil left my skin super soft and moisturized. 



I don't have a preference as to where I get my coconut oil but I do try to get the purest form. This one pictured is from Trader Joe's but it can also be found on Amazon and Walmart. I hope you guys  found this useful and get some coconut oil in your life! 


Toodles!

Trial Month is Over

February 5, 2016

Happy Friday! (and in my case, SNOW DAY)

On Instagram I've seen a meme that says  "2016 starts on February 1st and January was just a trial month", that couldn't be more true! I did some healthy eating and meal prepping in January but things are about to get real this month! I thought I would show you guys a day worths of meals from Monday. 



Before heading to the gym I had a green smoothie! 


Breakfast: 2 egg whites and toast with unsalted peanut butter. I have this almost everyday because 1) I love eggs and 2) It's easy and pretty much makes itself while I get ready. 

Lunch: I grilled some chicken breast with this store bought (but healthy) chickpea salad. 

Dinner: Turkey chili I made after getting home from work

So far I have not been planning my meals ahead of time, but I will start soon and will be sure to keep you guys posted.

Thanks for stopping by!! (and stay warm my fellow Bostonians)

Toodles!
