Beauty Buzz: I’ve Got a Lovely Bunch of Coconuts

Don’t get the Zazu reference? Probably need to go ahead and rent a copy of The Lion King, STAT. Anyway, while out the other day at Target (a perk of the suburban sprawl) I was picking up the necessary toiletries when I stumbled upon a packet of Palmer’s Coconut Oil Deep Conditioner. I was intrigued. Made with pure coconut milk, coconut oil, and vitamin E this little packet promised a big punch. Well, let me tell you- the best $1.69 I’ve ever spent. Seriously. I’ve spent hundreds of dollars on fancy pants deep conditioning treatments and I must admit… this bargain beauty buy held its own. Not to mention, it smells absolutely delicious. Every time I flip my hair (and I do that a lot), I’m transported to an exotic island with white sandy beaches, never ending pina coladas, and men in Speedos fanning me with palm fronds… Oh, sorry… forgot where I was.

Palmer’s Coconut Oil Formula Deep Conditioning Protein Pack

Coconut oil isn’t just good for you hair though. There’s a plethora of other uses for coconut oil:

  • Antibacterial
  • Antifungal
  • Emollient
  • Psoriasis relief
  • Cholesterol control
  • Weight control
  • Aids immune system
If you’re not already slathering yourself with this delicious tropical oil… well, you should be. I’ll save you a seat by the pool.

Ew, That’s Dirty.

So, while watching TV last night, a couple of commercials really caught my attention. Both were geared towards killing germs, but they really just killed me.

First up, we have Lysol No Touch soap dispenser. I mean, how dirty is your bathroom/soap dispenser that you can’t touch it? Furthermore, you are touching it in order to dispense the soap. Meaning that you will then WASH YOUR HANDS.  We have lived decades with good ol’ fashioned soap dispensers and- gasp- soap DISHES! No one has been know to die from sharing soap. This thing is not only a ploy, it’s also an eye sore for your bathroom decor.

Moving right along… Gold Bond now has a hand sanitizer that is also a lotion. I, for one, don’t buy it. When I’m killing germs off of my skin, I want to feel them being burned off with lots of alcohol and other things that are bad for my skin. Wouldn’t rubbing lotion on my hands merely be just rubbing those germs around from one place on my dermis to another? Thought so.

Now, don’t get me wrong. I’m not bashing hand washing. Heavens, no. By all means, wash those hands (especially before eating and after using the restroom or other dirty public venues)! I’m simply stating that there’s nothing wrong with a good old bar of soap and some water. Keep it clean.
