I am so excited to share with you 45 Uses for Coconut Oil.  I love using coconut oil with my essential oils!  Here are some amazing ways to use both coconut oil and essential oils!

I personally love use Coconut Oil as a cuticle softener for my nails and on the heels of my feet.  I put about a 1 teaspoon on each foot and massage it in well and then add socks over.  After I am done, I massage the rest of the oil into my cuticles and within minutes my feet and hands are thanking me.  I do this once a week and more often in the summer and winter.
