Hello Everyone!
I have been absent on here for a couple weeks but I’m
working on coming back! During the passed few weeks I have been busy with work
and school just starting up, but now that I know what my workload is going to
be for this semester I am going to try to post at least once a week! Hopefully
twice if I can!
This brings me to a small problem though, for the majority
of 2015 Austin and I were traveling at least once a month, usually more, so
that always gave me tons to write about…this year is going to be a little
different. With January already slipping away Austin and I are jumping into a
new project…APARTMENT HUNTING! With spending time searching and soon having to
make trips to go walk through places, we are not going to be traveling much at
all. We might have some small trips here and there (and plenty to Champaign)
but definitely not as much as last year since we both want to work as much as
we can and save up as much money as we can. This is however going to allow me
to jump into another side of blogging more beauty, fitness and lifestyle posts,
which I am beyond excited about! I hope you guys enjoy it J
Speaking of beauty products, I want to jump right in and
tell you all about a new favorite beauty product of mine…coconut oil.
I actually didn’t even know what coconut oil was up until a
couple of years ago, but I still didn’t know what to use it for besides cooking.
In the last few weeks or so I began to look up more information about it and
came to find out that there are SO SO MANY uses for it that I never would’ve
thought of!
My most frequent use for coconut oil is for make up remover.
It works great! I mainly only use it for my eye makeup and it takes everything
off (I have yet to try it with waterproof mascara). I just take a tiny bit and
start to rub it all over my eyelid and eyelashes, it makes a black mess on your
face but I always end up using a makeup wipe for my other makeup anyway and
that takes the black mess right off!
After using it on my eyes and taking the rest of my makeup
off I use it for a moisturizer. I typically only do this at night just because
it does take a little longer to soak in but it leaves my face hydrated and
super soft!
You don’t just have to use it on your face though; I also
started using it for body lotion! Winter months are hard on our skin (so is my
hot tub), so it definitely helps to use coconut oil. It takes a little longer to absorb than lotion does, so it is keeping your skin more hydrated.
I only talked about 3 ways to use coconut oil but the possibilities
are endless! If you simply just type into pinterest “uses for coconut oil” you
will find sooooo many pins with great ideas! I have a small list on my phone of
ones that I think could work and be beneficial that I cant wait to try in the
next couple of weeks!
