Saving Money with Nature's Approved^® Coconut Oil

Hi Ken,

Enjoyed talking with you this afternoon and thank you for taking my order for my 4th 5 gallons of Nature's Approved Organic Coconut oil. I would like to share a few more of my Coconut Oil Recipes as they have become permanent fixtures in my home and I don't know what I would do without them.

For skin care it has become pretty much my only product. I have tubs in both bathrooms and one in the kitchen that I use for hands and face during the day and use it to remove makeup. My skin has so improved that my friends and family have all commented on it. I take a warm wet washcloth and take about 2 Tbls. of coconut oil and smear it on the washcloth and rub it over back, arms, legs, etc. after a shower or bath and it leaves my skin soft and with a faint hint of coconut that smells great.

I use it in the bath (I add about 1/4 cup) and it keeps my skin soft and silky. It also works great for shaving as it make a safe and healthy barrier between me and the razor. I mix about 1 1/2 cup of coconut oil with 1/2 cup sugar and 1/2 cup salt to use as an exfoliant and keep a tub by the bathtub and one in the shower. It is so good for my face and it also works on my hands and feet to keep them soft and smooth. It is much gentler on my skin than most of the abrasive cleaners and soaps. I also mix my suntanning lotions or gels with coconut oil and find that I get a nicer tan and my skin doesn't dry out.

I use it in all recipes that call for oil or butter and know that my family is getting a healthy meal without all of the chemicals and processing you get with other products. My daughter's favorite dish is shrimp fried in coconut oil.

And I never feel guilty not getting all of it off of the spoon or spatula as I either lick the spoon or use the last little bit to rub into my hands after all the washing and drying of the dishes. My husband eats at least one large bowl of Hololo's Granola everyday and says it makes his stomach feel better and gives him lots of energy. It is great on toast, bagels, baked potatoes, squash, in cookies, brownies and the list goes on. I have a gallon container on my counter in the kitchen that I keep filled with coconut oil just for cooking. Coconut oil is just as healthy on the inside as it is on the outside. I feel that I am killing 2 birds with one stone, health and skin care.

I know it sounds crazy, but I also give my dogs a teaspoon of the coconut oil and they love it. I have to lock them up when I bring out the 5 gallon bucket to refill my containers or they would get in it. As it is, they look forward to being in charge of cleanup when I get done. Now for the most bizarre.... we live on a farm and I am always getting my leather shoes or boots dirty and have to wash them all the time. I use the coconut oil on a washcloth to clean and soften the leather and it helps keep my shoes looking great.

As you can see, I really do use the coconut oil for many things and want to thank you for letting me share them with you. Thank you for offering such a great product. It really has cut down on what is on my weekly shopping list and I love what it has done for my skin. Take care and enjoy the coming Memorial Day weekend.  - Tana H. (WA)
