Mmm, Coconuts

So it all started when my cousin got me the Body Shop's Coconut Soap Bar, and I fell absolutely in love with it.

I've always liked the smell of coconuts, but for some reason I've felt like it was too tropical, and smelling like coconuts during the winter didn't make sense. And then I realized that I'm crazy and coconuts smell amazing, no matter what time of year! So lately I've been buying all of the Body Shop's Coconut scented products, because they have this seriously incredible smell. My favorite is the Coconut Body Butter, and it's good to purchase because it's Community Fair Trade and whenever you purchase, you're helping support those who actually make the body butter.

In addition to my Body Shop addiction, I have heard that coconut oil is actually really good for your hair. It helps strengthen and soften it, so I went to health store by my school today and picked up a jar of Pure Virgin Coconut Oil. I've heard of different ways to use it as hair masks, so once I get a chance, I will definitely be updating you on how that went.

If you do decide to purchase Coconut Oil, there are many benefits such as health benefits, and skin care benefits. I'll post down below some links of articles I found on Coconut Oil, what products you can find at the Body Shop and also DIY Hair Masks.
