I'm going nuts, coconuts, for Trader Joe's Organic Virgin Coconut Oil. It is totally the magical do-all, for-all item. It is full of so many health benefits whether you choose to cook with it our use it on your skin and hair.

Coconut Oil in the Kitchen: 

If you choose to cook with it, coconut oil is full of  good fats that are heart healthy and great at controlling blood sugar, increasing digestion and absorption of fat-soluble vitamins. Coconut oil also does wonders for your immune system. It strengthens the immune system with its antimicrobial lipids and various acids which have anti-fungal, antibacterial and antiviral properties. 

Nutrition facts for Trader Joe's Organic Virgin Coconut Oil  

Coconut Oil in the Powder Room: 

If you choose to use it on your face and body, it is one of the best forms of natural nutrition for your skin and hair. For your hair, it is an excellent conditioner used to regrow damaged hair and if massaged onto your scalp it ensures your scalp will be dandruff free. When applied to your skin, coconut oil acts as an excellent moisturizer on all types of skin and helps delay wrinkles and sagging. It is also an excellent product to help treat various skin problems like eczema and dermatitis. 

With all these amazing health benefits it is a steal of a product for only $5.99 in stores. If a Trader Joe's is no where near you, it is still worth every penny to buy it online as it comes in a 2 pack allowing you to keep one in the kitchen and another in the powder room {or bathroom, wherever it is you primp yourself}. At under $20 for 2 jars, think of how much cheaper it is to buy coconut oil, which is all natural and organic, than spending a ton of money on cosmetic and haircare products which are full of harsh chemicals and fillers you can't even pronounce!
