I hope this doesn't happen to me! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-love-coconut-oil#post-478905 Thu, 03 Jan 2013 18:17:50 +0000 JerricaBenton 478905@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sorrycharlie: It's hard but the second you scoop some out into your hands it melts. I'm not sure it's the right thing for a scrub though, because depending on how cold it is in your house you really have to dig it out of the jar. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-love-coconut-oil#post-478830 Thu, 03 Jan 2013 17:53:10 +0000 HLK208 478830@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I looove coconut oil! I use it at least 3 times a day! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-love-coconut-oil#post-478822 Thu, 03 Jan 2013 17:50:59 +0000 travelgirl1 478822@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sorrycharlie: I've only just started using it on baby's cradle cap and it is hard but it melts with body heat really easily. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-love-coconut-oil#post-478788 Thu, 03 Jan 2013 17:42:43 +0000 sorrycharlie 478788@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>okay...I'm totally lost. I think I missed something or got jipped. I bought a huge tub of coconut oil at walmart to make DIY brown sugar scrub for Christmas, and it was hard! It became liquid once I microwaved it, but then once all the scrub was in the jars, it hardened again.</p> <p>Did I do something wrong?? I can't see how I could use it for anything until I warm it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-love-coconut-oil#post-478780 Thu, 03 Jan 2013 17:40:06 +0000 SAHM0811 478780@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've been obsessed with coconut oil... I have all these little containers with CO around for different purposes. this morning my DD asked for some on her chapped lips :) </p> <p>my mom passed on some VCO (virgin coconut oil) to me straight from the Philippines... it's so smooth; I love it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-love-coconut-oil#post-478737 Thu, 03 Jan 2013 17:27:38 +0000 blackbird 478737@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was using it for so long and loving it, but it started to irritate my skin! imagine that. I saw a dermatologist and he recommended I use something else. It smells so good! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-love-coconut-oil#post-478731 Thu, 03 Jan 2013 17:25:51 +0000 Bao 478731@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have never used it, I should try it out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-love-coconut-oil#post-478659 Thu, 03 Jan 2013 16:56:20 +0000 Alivoo01 478659@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@edelweiss: Nope! Mine didn't stain any of my clothing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-love-coconut-oil#post-478644 Thu, 03 Jan 2013 16:51:07 +0000 BananaPancakes 478644@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: I think so. When it first heats up, it smells coconutty, but I think it dissipates. And I don't taste coconut at all. I don't smell it on the eggs, either. But it takes barely any to get the pan ready. Way less than butter or olive oil, if you ask me.</p> <p>I pan fried duck breast in it the other day, and my husband had no idea. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-love-coconut-oil#post-478634 Thu, 03 Jan 2013 16:48:52 +0000 edelweiss 478634@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: @shopaholic: @Alivoo01: i bought some coconut oil recently for diaper cream (although haven't used it yet, baby's not here), and was thinking about using it as a moisturizer but i was wondering--does it stain clothes? or do you have to wait a long time for it to absorb before putting clothes on? thanks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-love-coconut-oil#post-478629 Thu, 03 Jan 2013 16:46:38 +0000 loveisstrange 478629@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We use it on C as diaper cream! I love how it smells, like baked goods or something. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-love-coconut-oil#post-478618 Thu, 03 Jan 2013 16:40:03 +0000 autumnlove 478618@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bree72: I will try it with my eggs tomorrow. Does the smell wear off when you cook with it? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-love-coconut-oil#post-478597 Thu, 03 Jan 2013 16:32:13 +0000 Revel 478597@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@.twist.: Oops! That sounds pretty good too. I have a problem of plowing through jars of coconut butter so that's immediately where my mind went, hahaha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-love-coconut-oil#post-478592 Thu, 03 Jan 2013 16:30:33 +0000 .twist. 478592@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Revel: oh hahaha. I meant more like body butter! I didn't even think there was coconut butter like butter butter... haha sorry! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-love-coconut-oil#post-478590 Thu, 03 Jan 2013 16:30:20 +0000 skibobrown 478590@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We use it as a diaper cream for DD, and she has never had a real diaper rash. Every once in a while she has a diaper disaster and starts getting a little rashy, but within two diaper changes of treatment with coconut oil she is all better. Plus, it's cloth diaper friendly, and much cheaper than other diaper creams. A real win! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-love-coconut-oil#post-478586 Thu, 03 Jan 2013 16:28:40 +0000 Revel 478586@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Love coconut oil! I use it for cooking more than as a moisturizer, but that is a good idea @autumnlove: </p> <p>@.twist.: Coconut butter is absolutely amazing - more like a peanut butter than coconut oil though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-love-coconut-oil#post-478579 Thu, 03 Jan 2013 16:27:38 +0000 BananaPancakes 478579@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Alivoo01: Oooh, does it?! Mine has come back as a post pregnancy thing, I fear. </p> <p>I haven't used it as a body product, but I love to cook with it. Use it everyday for my eggs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-love-coconut-oil#post-478576 Thu, 03 Jan 2013 16:26:19 +0000 .twist. 478576@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Has anyone used coconut butter? same thing or different?</p> <p>@Alivoo01: ugh! me too! When I was younger, before I knew how common it was or what it was, I would scrub my arms so hard in the shower that they'd bleed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-love-coconut-oil#post-478570 Thu, 03 Jan 2013 16:24:58 +0000 Alivoo01 478570@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I use it as a lotion as well because I heard it helps with KP, and I have horrible KP! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-love-coconut-oil#post-478533 Thu, 03 Jan 2013 16:11:41 +0000 shopaholic 478533@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ditto! I don't like to eat anything with coconut per se, but I loe using coconut oil as a moisturizer! Makes me feel like it's summer! And I've gradually gotten accustomed to the flavor when I use it for cooking. Definitely going to use it on baby for diaper rashes! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-love-coconut-oil#post-478531 Thu, 03 Jan 2013 16:11:22 +0000 plantains 478531@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Coconut oil is incredible. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-love-coconut-oil#post-478520 Thu, 03 Jan 2013 16:07:25 +0000 autumnlove 478520@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I bought a tub of it yesterday and I am obsessed! It smells sooo good and I am slathered in it today. My dry skin feels so much better! </p>
