Not just for cooking

This one is not entirely about cooking and eating, but it's a good time of year to discuss coconut oil and your skin.

Better than lotion, less expensive than lotion and it's natural. You can also use it on your hair!

Action item: If you have some in the cupboard, try it on your dry hands that are suffering in this cold weather!
