Island Remede: Coconut Oil | Afrobella

Some kids can be so mean for no reason. I know, because I was one of them. Back in primary school, there was a sweet, shy Indian boy in my class whose mother slicked back his hair with coconut oil every day. For some reason, kids found that to be hilarious and a neverending source for mockery. I’m not even sure who started it, or where we learned that outlook but now I know — unfortunately and sadly — so much of that mockery was borne from racial difference and already at age six, seven, and eight, tiny seeds of prejudice ]were already taking root in our minds. Now that I’m all grown up, I realize how embarrassingly ignorant we all were. That boy’s mother knew what I have only now come to realize — coconut oil is amazing stuff. It’s considered a weight loss aiding superfood to those who ingest it, and a multi-use moisturizer for those who use it externally. If you haven’t added it to your beauty arsenal, I recommend you swing by your neighborhood fancy organic grocery store , stat....

Fels Naptha – 26 Uses (WWII Series)

Gambar
Picture by: icollect247 Fels Naptha! I had never heard of it until about 15 years ago and now I can’t live without it. My mother introduced me to it when I owned a used children’s clothing store. She told me that both my grandmother and great-grandmother always had a bar in their wash rooms. If you have never used it I suggest that you pick up a bar. You can find it in the laundry isle of most grocery stores and it only costs around $1.00 per bar. This little bar is great for so many things. Check out this list of uses that my family and I have come up with. Bathroom Bathtub/Shower – to clean, rub a wet bar of Fels Naptha on a sponge and wipe down  the tub/shower. Rinse. Grout – to clean, rub a soft brush across a bar of Fels Naptha before scrubbing the grout. Sink – to clean, rub a wet bar of Fels Naptha on a sponge and wipe down the sink. General Cleaning Aluminum – to clean and shine, rub a damp rag across a bar of Fels Naptha and buff the aluminum to a shine. Dish Soap – to make yo...
