I've got a lovely bunch of coconuts...

(Name that Disney movie...)

But seriously. Coconut oil. Wow. After hearing about the wonders from friends for a very long time, I finally picked up a jar for a mere $5 at TJs when grocery shopping. She's a beauty.

And I've been exploring its many uses. Okay, mostly I've started by using it for my face moisturizer, and so far so good. But I've been reading up on the gajillion things you can use coconut oil for. The best list I've found thus far is here.

So, basically, I should just clear my house out of everything else and live on the cure all of coconut oil, eh? Not sure I'm there yet, but I'm going to be testing it out for sure. Any advice you have on your favorite uses for the magic oil would be appreciated...

Holy moly...impressive list! Wanna pick me up a jar the next time you're at TJs and I'll pay ya back? :) I hardly ever get over there these days.

Seriously wished we lived closer. Our brainwaves must be in sync (last year with dairy, this year with coconut oil). I tried looking for it at our TJ's two weeks ago and couldn't find it - can you tell me what it is located next to?

P.S. Two girls is the BEST!

Holly - done! I will get you some! Molly - I wish we lived closer too! Seriously! Our girls could hang out. :) At first it was in the "new items" section but now they have had it for a bit and it is next to the olive oil and other oils. Whole Foods probably carries it if your TJs doesn't...or I could send some back to NE via my mom to your mom or such nonsense to you. :) Love to you both!
