I love beauty and taking care of my health. As I get older, both are more important than ever. After the last few years dealing with COVID, quarantine, and school closing, I am taking the time for my fitness and health. Since adding a puppy to our family, I am forced to take him outside! I am working to get my steps in each day! I am all about improving myself! 

Let’s take a look at how to add coconuts to your daily life!

I have recently started using coconut oil on a regular basis. I’ve been using coconut oil on and off  for the last decade or so. I tried MCT oil last year and have been using it every single day since! 

Do you use coconuts for health? Do you use coconut oil for beauty? 

A few months ago, I discovered Viva Naturals and was sent their coconut oil to try! I have only been using coconut oil for beauty. I have not been brave enough to try cooking with coconut oil even though I should. Before using Viva Naturals, I was using a store brand coconut oil and it wasn’t as pleasant! 

I am so glad I found Viva Naturals. I am so impressed with their coconut oil!  Since I love Viva Naturals Coconut Oil, I was excited to try their Organic MCT Oil. 

Coconuts For Health

I love my coffee every morning. Just add 1 tablespoon of the Organic MCT Oil to your coffee! I have noticed that the MCT oil helps keep me focused when I need to get things done. It also helps suppress my appetite.  

I feel like my energy levels are boosted. As a special needs mom and pup mom, any extra energy is appreciated. I had no idea how much time and energy a puppy can take up. I am grateful I work from home, so I can be here to take him for walks throughout the day!

I also love my health shakes. I tend to have a healthy shake in the afternoon time. It’s a great way to enjoy a snack! I have been adding a tablespoon of Organic MCT Oil to my shakes for an afternoon boost. 

Organic MCT Oil can be added to salads, food, and favorite beverages. It is so easy to add to any lifestyle. 

Coconut Oil For Beauty 

Viva Naturals Coconut Oil is smooth and creamy! It is effortless to use for beauty as it melts quickly and easily. The coconut oil just melts when it touches my skin. 

As I mentioned above, I now use coconut oil every single day! Winter is here and my skin is suffering. For a few weeks, I had dry patches on my face. It would hurt just trying to apply moisturizer. I didn’t dare apply any masks or scrubs. I apply Viva Naturals coconut oil on my face before bed. It helps keep my skin moisturized. By the way, the dry patches are gone. 

I also apply coconut oil on my eyebrows and lashes. I believe it helps condition and strengthen my brows and lashes! 

I also love applying coconut oil to my lips and all over my skin! I especially moisturize my hands before bed! What a great way to protect and moisturize my hands overnight.

Rosemary Essential Oil For Hair

In addition to using coconut oil on my skin, I apply a hair mask every afternoon! I have recently started treating my scalp and hair with conditioning products. I use rosemary essential oil and coconut oil as a carrier oil. I use about a tablespoon of coconut oil and 5 drops of rosemary essential oil and apply on my scalp and throughout my hair. 

Rosemary essential oil is said to help improve hair growth, reduce split ends, reduce breakage, and slow graying hair. Overall, I use rosemary essential oil and coconut oil to boost my scalp and hair!
