Crazy for Coconut Oil!

Coconut oil is a must-have for every household. It has many great uses in cooking, but I'm not here to talk about food. I want to discuss the various ways that coconut oil is good for bodily use. This includes hair, teeth, and skin.

When using coconut oil on your hair, you want to melt it down between the palms of your hands, then run it through your hair. I always make sure to massage my scalp and coat the ends. To avoid getting coconut oil on anything, you can put your hair up in a bun. This also makes sure that the oils are staying locked into your hair strands. You can leave the coconut oil in your hair for half an hour, and hour or more, or you can sleep with it in overnight (use a towel to sleep on if you do). The benefits of coconut oil for the hair are huge! Coconut oil promotes hair growth, a healthy scalp, adds softness and shine, and prevents hair breakage and split ends. Why the benefits? Because coconut oil has fatty acids that benefit your hair!

Another way to use coconut oil to your advantage is on your teeth. 
Some people may find it a little extreme to rub oil onto your teeth, but I promise it's worth it. Rubbing coconut oil on your teeth weekly or daily can have several positive effects. These include preventing tooth decay, reduce plaque buildup, and even whiten your teeth. 

Now let's look at the benefits of using coconut oil on your skin. The oil can be used as a moisturizer because of the Vitamin E it contains, and it can also help in the healing process of some skin diseases like eczema. It is also known to be a great source for tattoo care because the proteins in the oil repair cells at a healthy rate. When your new tattoo is starting to peel or scab, applying coconut oil helps moisturize the area and exfoliate without clogging your skin's pores. It can also be used as a natural antiseptic on your tattoo to help fight off / prevent infections.

It's amazing how one simple jar of coconut oil can have so many useful uses! It is a good way to save money because you're buying in bulk, and you'll definitely feel like you got your money's worth. So before going to the store and buying expensive products for your hair, teeth, and skin, just think about all of the benefits a simple ingredient can give you.

Are Dogs Really Man's Best Friend?

Image
Some people may argue that dogs are not a man's best friend. They may talk about dog attacks, certain breeds, or that they only "love" us because we give them food. I am here to counter these arguments and show why dogs are our true companions. Certain breeds of dogs are seen as vicious or as fighting dogs, but time has shown that people have bred them this way. Dogs have been bred for certain tasks in a humans life like hunting, personal safety, or show. The dogs themselves did not have a choice on why they were raised the way they were, or how they were taught growing up. For example, a security dog may be raised to attack when told, when a threat is felt, or if their owner is in danger. This action is not an instinct, but it was a learned habit. Same goes for dog attacks, except they may not be exactly trained to do so. When dogs are being raised they also need to be rewarded for good behavior and reprimanded for bad. If a dog is not put in its place from the start

Why I Think Relationships Are Pointless

To me, being single makes me feel a lot more appreciated and happier. Not once have I been in a relationship where it is fifty-fifty, and I feel like I can fully trust the person I'm with. Time and time again I have been stabbed in the back and lied to about the smallest things, but it still hurts. I have been used by many guys for bets and just for a body count, and none of these times I understood what was happening until it was too late. Boys have lied to me about where they are even when I have proof about their whereabouts and about other girls they have lined up for when they are through with me. Boys have a certain way of making me feel depreciated throughout my day. If I clean up around the house, do dishes, laundry, or try to come home early to see them I don't get any sort of thank you or recognition. When I try to ask for help if I am busy, then they make a big deal about it and ask why I can't. I am still in school and busy with homework so I don't have

Vacation! Vacation! Vacation!

Summer is a time where everyone packs up and leaves their home. Whether it be for a week, couple of week, or a whole month. There are several vacation spots that are easy to find, but where are the cheap ones at? There is a favorite vacation spot I like to hit whenever summer rolls around and I would like to share it with you. One of my top vacation spots is Atlanta, Georgia. The big city of Atlanta has several things to do and see, and there are also several things in the cities and towns surrounding it. Some of the stuff to do right inside Atlanta is the Georgia Aquarium,  Zoo Atlanta, World of Coca-Cola, and the CNN Center. The Georgia Aquarium is located near the Central Olympic Park, near the Coca-Cola museum and CNN. It has a total of ten thousand gallons of water for fish, and they house more than a hundred thousand animals. They host activities like swimming with whale sharks and interactions with penguins, dolphins, or sea otters. There is an aquanaut adventure where visit
