My Coconut Obsession

As you may have noticed throughout my blog I tend to become focused on something and want to learn all that I can about it.  Actually, that sounds much more academic than it is...it's not necessarily that I want to learn all that I can, it's more that I just become obsessed!  For example, when I found a certain spray paint color...I used it on everything!  I shared a bit about my spray paint obsession, but trust me there's been more since this post!

Coconut oil is another one of my obsessions.  I started learning about it a couple years ago...and in this case I really did learn.  I won't bore you with the science behind it's health benefits but if you're interested I'd suggested checking out foodrenegade.com.

I've recently expanded my obsession with "eating" coconut oil to using it for other purposes.  I discovered an article that lists 52 uses for coconut oil and I might just try all 52!

The first one I checked off the list is #4. Use as a super conditioner on your hair (apply to dry hair, leave in as long as possible and then shampoo as normal).

I applied a fairly good amount right out of the container so it was like a paste. I then put my hair up in a bun and let it work its magic!  After about 2 hours I washed it out. I wouldn't say it was amazing and left my hair like golden silk...but I could feel a difference, especially on my ends! I might make this is a monthly hair treatment!

Biscuit Got Her Squeak Back!

Recently Biscuit had been a little sad.  She rarely squeaked and never ran around, jumping like hot corn popping; she spent most of her time sleeping!  I did some research to confirm and found that female guinea pigs tend to easily take to new babies and in general guinea pigs like to have a friend.


Although Biscuit enjoys playing with Sanka and the cats, they don't fit in her cage with her! We decided she needed a cage mate.

Biscuit took to the new baby right away!  Running and hopping, squealing with delight!  The baby does everything Biscuit does...it's amazing to watch nature take over!

Sanka has been very busy helping Biscuit take care of the new baby. It's so nice to see Biscuit back to her ole self!

The new baby does not have a name yet.  Any ideas?
