Okay, so it has been a while since I have said anything. Sorry about that.
I have found a REALLY cheep alternative to lotion!!! And it smells good also, Coconut oil! I know right, that is what I was thinking, but I’ve been using it for about a week and I’m hooked. I have really dry skin and have to use strong lotions so that it doesn’t itch and this has worked. I put it on after my shower, at night, and it works all day. If I have to shower twice in a day, like after working out I reapply the oil, BUT you have to be careful of what you put on afterwards, until you get the hang of what is too much, it will leave an oily residue on clothing if you have to much on your skin. Oh, and you can use it on your face also! It is a very good eye make up remover, and a good night time moisturizer. It does not clog pores, or at least not mine and I have adult acne.
Now, another thing I have been using it for is my hair, I bleach, flat iron, curl, blow dry and roll my hair, so it is not in the best condition. About three nights a week I will sock roll my hair with coconut oil as a leave in conditioner. It has worked wonders! I’m impressed. I am currently looking into baking soda as shampoo? I’ve read a few articles about it and now I’m trying to find out more. I will update when I find out more.
I have started a new work out reg. and it has kinda done some things. So, I got an exercise ball and have been working out on it and I’m also doing a 20 minute routine. 20 burpees, 30 jumping jacks, 20 leg lifts (each leg) and 15 squats. I repeat all that till 20 minutes is up. I do 4 minutes of planks on the ball, kinda odd how I do them, legs supported on ball and arms on the floor. I feel a difference but can’t really see one yet.
Well I guess that is all for now. I’ll keep ya updated.
