WOW 1st night after using coconut oil & my skin is super soft. I got out about the size of a pencil eraser on my spoon & rubbed it together on my hands then put it on my face & it didn't have to wa**** off, my dry skin soaked it right up & this morning is very soft. My dog wanted to lick my face a lot! The brand I bought really doesn't have a smell to it but my dog could smell it. I'll do an update post in a week to share my results. Found this on youtube as well explaining 10 beauty uses for the oil.

so far no dryness just super soft. I couldn't stand the idea of no shampoo though so I wash as normal 1st then do the routine.

Thanks for the affirmation! After I no longer hadya household of seemingly homeless teen friends each summer, I eventually missed out on a lot of very fine music...
But I took the opportunity this evening to enjoy some of their more recent fine music. They have several pieces in the Rolling Stones special edition of 500 best rock music of all time.
Would you tell me some tthat came to mind when you experienced that bp stroke of sheer genius! We bipolars do be jamming all da time! We be awesome! 
Eta - some much needed formating - but it's too damned late to get the spelling & grammar errors.
OK, now that the Alton is out of my system... ;-)
Sock puppets are a part of the Internet, just like Rule 34 and Longcat. If there are a few accounts around here, that's nothing compared to most other corners of teh intarwebz, honestly. I've been a mod of enough online groups over the years and seen enough flame wars to know that things here are ridiculously calm, all things considered.
If an account bugs you for whatever reason, we all have the right to block. I have a few on my blacklist and I have no idea if they're trolls, puppets, lost souls, or genuinely mean people. Don't feed the trolls and they won't bother you.

That's maybe not a bad idea! How's about Master of Puppets? This recording. I think the above array of warning icons with this particular recording? Menacing, isn't it...

Then we give them 15 minute head start!!! And we can chill while we wait. 
.. Damn, we be fine!
I have a few friends who've switched off shampoo completely and just do baking soda and cider vinegar. They say it works really well and I'm seriously tempted to try it because my hair is so oily-- does the vinegar dry your hair out at all?

Love coconut oil. I use it for so many things. Even baking. I use bacon grease for my eggs but if I don't have that - then I use coconut oil. It is very stable in room temperature and in high temperature. Breast for skin and hair. Breast for animals also.
I buy mine now from Costco or Sam's.. Specially when thgery have as sale.

I love eating it right out of the jar. Just like peanut butter. In fact, I haven't bought any for a while because I tend to take a spoonful or two every time I pass the kitchen. Not that it's bad for you but at $7 or so a jar it gets spendy. Funny but peanut butter and almond butter doesn't have the same attraction for me. I can have a jar of those for months but coconut oil disappears quickly.
I love cooking with it, too, and using it instead of butter. I haven't tried it on my skin. Probably because I don't want to waste it when I can eat it :)

I'm a ... girl too. I think all those dot, dot, dot's are the "pause" in my brain while I think of something to say.
