COCONUT CHALLENGE: Hot Tea Pick Me Up , Shaving Lotion, Face Scrub & Lip Balm - ALSO BREAKOUTS BE DAMNED!

So I continued my coconut challenge today.  Delicious hot tea with a tablespoon of coconut oil, lip balm and shaving lotion.  Didn't get around to deodorant because... well... while moisturizing, it is really messy and can't keep up with the FauxPrah lifestyle.



Also... I just did a mini review of LUSH's Breath Of God Perfume on my blog.  Go check it out. 


Anyway back to coconuts...


Coconut Oil Tea



I paired my coconut oil with a delicious Harney & Sons Coconut Green Tea ($8.69 on Amazon).  I put it in my trusty foxy mug and sipped.  DELICIOUS.  As a bonus, it moisturizes your lips as you go.  As for the boost it is supposed to supply?  Well I usually need an after work nap, yesterday I did not, so you be the judge of that.  I will try again today.  If I find I do nap after work I will let you know.


Lip Moisturizer 


Need I say more about the moisturizing properties of this little miracle?  My skin, including my lips has never been softer.  I could go on here, but no need.  It is perfect.  Now I want to put some peppermint oil in it and contain it for on the go.  Will post more if I decide to do that.

Shaving Lotion


I will never use shaving cream again.  A jar of coconut oil will remain in my shower.  I got the closest shave ever (with a duller razor no less), no breakouts and my legs are silky soft.


Face Scrub



I probably should have done this in the dead of winter, but after moisturizing with this before there wasn't tons of dead skin left on my face.  What was there, however is GONE!  For this, make a paste of equal parts coconut oil and baking soda.  As an added bonus, all the tiny little baby breakouts are now gone.  Turns out this is also a buster for acne and blackheads.

That's it for now.  Still working on those teeth and I promise to try to get some B.O. under control with some coconut D.O.

PEACE LADIES & GENTLEMENTS!
