Coconut Oil: Why Everyone Is Obsessed

If you don’t live under a rock you have probably seen something on the internet or heard someone talking about coconut oil. There are even memes about it! 

But what’s with all the hype?? It’s the best kept beauty secret there is! Ever since I discovered Kopari Beauty Cocomelt my life has seriously changed. Kopari has 100% organic, vegan and cruelty free products all made with coconut oil including their cocomelt which is pure coconut oil! The deal with coconut oil is you can use it for literally everything beauty.
1. Skin- after a shower or shaving it will make your body super soft and smell good! 

– use it as a body oil while laying out. 

– use it as a daily lotion! 

– put a scoop in your bath! 

2. Face- it prevents wrinkles, acne and helps with under eye discoloration. 

-use it as a makeup remover

– makes the perfect lip balm

3. Hair- you can use a little bit to take frizz or use it as a hair mask. Scoop some up, leave it on for 30 minutes then wash your hair! 

-prevents dandruff and promotes a healthy scalp! 

4. Nails- use it to fix cuticles and heal dry hands and feet also helps nails grow! 

These are only a few of the MANY uses for coconut oil. My favorite of course being the Cocomelt from Kopari. Reason being it’s the only coconut oil made specifically for beauty use. Its going to smell better and feel better than your typical kitchen coconut oil. It’s made with only the best coconuts and cold pressed in the purest way! It also comes in a way cuter container 😁

Kopari also has many other beauty products that contain coconut oil in them as well. If you’re interested in starting your coconut oil journey click here for 10% off your first purchase!

My Favorite Brands: Get Back Supply Co.

As everyone knows, I love sharing things I love and things I’m interested in. I decided I wanted to write more so I’m starting a new section on the blog about my favorite brands. 

The first brand featured is called Get Back Supply Co. which is a lifestyle jewelry and accessories brand. The reason I love Get Back so much is the meaning behind the brand and all the cute colors and accessories! The brand is based around Saint Christopher. Saint Christopher is the Saint of protection or of protoecting children. It’s a symbol of good luck, as well as good fortune.  People from all walks of life wear the charm because it has such an open meaning. Back in the day it was often given as a gift of “going steady” in a relationship or a gift to someone who was going on a long journey or a surfer for good luck! The idea behind the necklaces and the necklaces themselves have been around for decades, until one day they sort of went out of style. Then one day Get Back, brought them back and have been successful ever since. Get Back has so many different colors and shapes of necklaces from choker and modern looking to long  surfer vibe necklace. They also have bracelets, t shirts, hats, sunglasses and much more! They have basically every color combination you can think of as well. It’s such a fun and meaningful way to accessorize. I love layering the necklaces and bracelets together. They put off a beachy surfer vibe you just can’t beat. They are called surf necklaces but really can be styled to suit any lifestyle or outfit. The perfect accessory to wear with a bikini for sure! 

Get Back is run by a mom and son duo as well, and it started small and is now sold in over 500 retail stores. If you’d like to check out their site and read their story click Here

Vegan and Cruelty Free Beauty: Handmade Heroes

If you read my blogs you know I have really been obsessing over vegan and cruelty free beauty. I really believe  it’s important that beauty is cruelty free because there’s really no necessary reason that beauty products for humans should be tested on animals.  A lot of places that test on animals don’t only test on things like mice and rats they even go far as to use beagles.  I have been searching the Internet and social media to find the best vegan and cruelty free beauty brands and one of the most recent ones that I have fallen in love with is handmade heroes.  They have everything from lip balm, and  skin care products all the way to hair products and dry shampoo. I recently collaborated with them and they sent me their Harpars Bazaar awarded products that include two lip balms, a lip scrub and a powder dry shampoo.

After using all the products and seeing all their other products I decided this is a brand where you’d cbe able to get almost everything you need for your beauty and skincare to be completely cruelty free and vegan.

This is really nice because I have a few people tell me it’s hard for them to find all the products they need for everyday that are vegan and cruelty free. These products are not only both of these, but are also really nice quality as well!

First of all I have really dark here and the dry shampoo doesn’t leave a white cast on my hair like some other dry shampoo do.

They sent me two lip balms. There is a rose tinted lip balm is really nice it’s got a really cute pop of color just for every day wear.  Both lip balm smell really good to which is also nice.  The lip scrub is really great and it smells good. Also it’s not too harsh like other lip scrubs I’ve tried.  All of the product smell really nice and they work really well they also have super cute names.  I would recommend the dry shampoo for just about any color hair like I said my hair is black and it blended in really well.

Overall I really recommend this brand to people who are looking to switch  vegan and cruelty free products.
