Random Products I've Tried

Coconut Milk- Love this product! It is good to put on your skin, on your hair and it is super good for your body (eat or drink it).

If you are going to use it as a body moisterizer; just wash your skin rub the milk into your skin let sit for 1 hour and then rinse off.    Leaves your skin feeling soft and silky.

If you are going to use it on your hair; Wash your hair, don't condition, work the milk into/through your wet hair, let sit for hour and then rinse off and condition.   Leaves your hair super soft and hydrated (not greasy).

If you are gonna eat it; I personally love to add it to smoothies. Coconut Milk smells wonderful and tastes great, I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.  I was just reading that you can also use it as a whipping cream... Im gonna try this soon.

Please Note:  I buy the can of Coconut Milk from the grocery store... yes, the one in the food section.  Don't get the lite Coconut Milk.

Tea Tree Oil- Mixed feelings on this one. The smell is horrid and lingers in whatever room you used it in. I had read it was antibacterial and a disinfectant.

I have used it on cuts, with my shampoo (supposed to help with scalp); on my face with my face wash (supposed to help with acne) and on my feet (why not right).  I’m not sure if it works or not... I do know it stings the skin a bit when applied and that the smell is horrible. Note: this product is not to be ingested!

Blotting Cloths- One of my favorite products. At the end of a long day if you want to freshen your face up, this is the perfect product for you. Just run the cloth over your face it will soak up any oil you have produced over the day and give you a polished look. Some people think that if they run powder over their face it will do the same thing... I guess a little but you are in effect leaving the oil on your face and adding more junk. Just use a blotting cloth to get rid of the oil, you will feel clean and look refreshed. Cost: Super cheap $5.00 at Walgreens.



Vitamin E Oil- I am on my second bottle of this. I’m not sure if it really worked but keep using it just in case it does. From my research it is supposed to be an antioxidant which helps in healing. I use it on anything which I want to heal quickly mostly cuts & scrapes.   I was talking to two friends about Vitamin E Oil and they were telling me it is good for streach marks and scars, I guess it helps blend the marks so they are less noticable on the skin.

Deer Antler Felt- This is one of the funniest things I have tried. Two of my closest guy friends were using it and thought it was making them stronger, improving their eye sight and helping them sleep better. They talked me into buying some; I didn't notice being stronger or sleeping better but I do think it helped my eye sight.

Grape Seed Oil- This is on my list of things to try. When I’m stressed or eat walnuts I get canker sores in my mouth. I haven't had a canker in almost a year but next time I do I want to try grape seed oil on it. I’ve heard grape seed oil is good to get rid of cankers... wish me luck and I will report on it as soon as I have the opportunity (which hopefully will not be soon).
