Why Coconut Oil Will Be Your New Holy Grail Product

We've all heard that coconut oil is a miracle worker, but do we actually know why or how to use it? Here are all of the ways coconut oil has improved my life:

1. Makeup Remover

Coconut oil is by far the best makeup remover I've ever used and it doesn't have all the added chemicals that a lot of makeup remover wipes do. I just take a little bit, rub it all over my face and wipe it off with a clean, dry towel. It's a makeup remover and a moisturizer all in one and it leaves your skin feeling, dare I say, as soft as a baby's bottom.

2. Butter Substitute

I started putting coconut oil on toast a couple years ago and my life hasn't been the same since. I can't even describe it. It's not a huge flavor, but it's a serious game changer. Something you can't understand unless you try it. Another way to substitute coconut oil for butter is when popping popcorn. I don't know how many people actually pop popcorn on the stove, but that's how my mom does it and when she uses coconut oil in the pot I don't add salt or anything; it's perfect and us humans are not worthy of it for sure.

3. Hair Mask

Companies make plenty of coconut-based hair products, but nothing compares to putting actual coconut oil in your hair. Just take a little bit, put it in the ends of your hair, throw your hair into a bun and let it work its magic. You can leave it in as long as you want, but make sure to wash it out completely with shampoo and conditioner when you're done. Once your hair is dry you won't be able to stop running your fingers through it. Just try to take it easy on the hair flips, Willow Smith.

4. Body Scrub

I like to do a body scrub once a week in the shower to remove dead skin and ultimately uncover the glistening, smooth layer of skin that lies beneath. All you have to do is mix together equal parts of coconut oil and sugar, scrub it all over your body, rinse and wash your body with body wash, shave and then, of course, make sure everyone in sight feels how smooth your legs are.

If you like good food and having silky, smooth everything it's time to start incorporating coconut oil into your everyday routine and now you know how!

What is "talking?" How does one "talk?"

Now that it seems “talking” is the new way to date, and will stay that way until another idiotic term is used to describe the people who can’t settle down and just date someone, I feel as if it’s time to go over the unwritten rules of “talking.”

Rule 1. Having feeling without feeling.

What's up Asshat,

I've composed a list of things that I wish upon you, and they're harsh and cruel. These things are things that I wouldn't wish upon my worst of enemies, not even that Starbuck's barista who always screws up my order, not even him. You fall into a whole other category of hate. You surpass Starbucks barista. Congratulations, I'm actually a pretty nice person, making you worthy of every single bit of torture I wish upon you. What are these things I wish upon you you might ask?
